FLAGSTAFF WON GAMES
FOURTH AND FIFTH AND
GOT INSURANCE THIRD

Flagstaff won the baseball game on
the fourth with Williams, so, and
next day with Kingman, 6-2.
Bennie Tolson hurled for Flagstaff
on the fourth, his opponent Wallie
Knox, who pitched for Flagstaff last
year. The next day Knox pitched for
Flagstaff Gibson started for King
man, having been imported to make
it hard for us. But he was batted
out of the box, being replaced by
Mitchell, Kingman's poppy shortstop,
who showed a much better brand Of
curvature of the sphere.
Neither game counted in the league
percentages. The Elks, sponsors of the
celebration, got 80 per cent of the
gross receipts, the opposing teams
splitting the balance 60-40 There
was a big crowd on Saturday and a
good crowd Sunday, which helped the
local teams finances a lot. In addi-
ton, the rain on Friday, when game
with Winslow was scheduled, was
heavy enough and at the right time
to get the $500 for which the game
was insured.
All the games, and the 40 celebra-
ton as we'll, we're insured against
rain, the one ball game being the only
event in which insurance was coli
lected.

TWO VIVACIOUS YOUNG
WOMEN AGAIN in JAIL

Two weeks ago The Sun sorrowful-
" related how two young ladies, then
believed to be temporary visitors here,
had nearly busted up dance, what
with hooch and general acrobatics, fol-
lowed by arrest of both and a fine for
one and a "floater" out Of town for
the other.
The girls couldn't bear the idea of
leaving Flagstaff. They loomed up
as avid spectators during the celebra-
ton. The quieter one of the two on
Sunday night drank a bottle of soda
pop and ate a hamburger sandwich,
the fermentation that thereupon en-
sued in her little tummie causing her
to do strange things. At five the next
morning she was found in one of the
ticket booths with all clothing gone
except two stockings. We don't know
whether the charge preferred against
the two before Police Magistrate
Sheffield was rolling their own or
failing to rem owe them altogether. But
he assessed them $75 apiece, adding
120 days each in city Jail.
In Jail or out of it, the girls en-
Enthusiastically assert, Flagstaff is an
ideal place in which to live and is
filled with appreciate and generous
men.

SUPERVISORS WILL BUILD
ADDITION TO COURTHOUSE

County board of supervisors on
Monday decided to issue oonds to the
amount of $4,000 for the building of
an addition to the courthouse.
Advertisements of the proposed
sale of the bonds and for bids for
construction of the addition are
printed in this issue of The Sun.
The bonds will bear per cent in
terest rate, redemption period being
July Is, 1926 to July Is, 1949, in
elusive. On improvement bonds to
that amount it is not necessary to
hold a special bond election, the SUI
pervisors having the power to act.
George w. Vallery & Co. of Denver,
buyers of the Flagstaff high school
and part of the recent Flagstaff water
bands, are conducting
the legal end.
Both bond and building bids are to
be opened August 3. All three
members of the board are anxious
to get the addition completed within
the next few months, to as soon as
possible eliminate rent expense, the
offices of the county attorney, county
school superintendent, coroner, JUS
tice of the peace and county farm
agent now being in the Masonic
Temple, the rent amounting to $2400
a year.
The addition will be two stories
high with basement, Of the same red
sandstone material and along the
same architectural lines as the pres
ent main structure It will be 40x61
feet and be added to the east side of
the present building.
1t is proposed to locate the court
room on the second floor of the adj
1ition, cutting the present courtroom
into four offices. 1t also is proposed
to have jury room in the addition
and room which may be used by the
Junior Chamber of Com
merce.

He is glad to be home with US again
and rs evidence of the close touch he
had been keeping with developments
here, when he arrived he wore full
beard, in harmony with the style pre-
vailing for the '49 celebration. Also,

it was over.

ROBERT TALLY SEES GREAT
FUTURE FOR FLAGSTAFF

Robert Tally, general manager of
the United Verde Co., at Jerome, ac-
conpanied by his son, Robert Tally
Jr., was in Flagstaff a few days at
tending the big '49er hurrah. Mr..
Tally is very much pleased with
Flagstaff and says: Il do not know of
better place in the world to spend
a summer vacation than Flagstaff;
the splendid invigorating air at this
altitude, the big pine forest all around
with the famous Oak Creek trout
stream and big lakes for fishermen,
make it the center of the most en-
joyable vacation ground to be found
in the country. | hope that within
short time the boulevard to the peaks
will be completed, that the mag
scenery along in Oak Creek
canyon will be opened up by good
road that we of the south can more
readily come this way to enjoy our
selves. Last, but not least, would
like to aid the people Of Flagstaff in
securing a big tourist hotel, one that
would attract people from all over
the world" Mr.. Tally declared.
The people of Flagstaff most
heartily agree with Mr.. Tally and
are hoping that each of the big pro-
jects outlined will soon become a
reality.

HIRAMS LISTEN TO TWO
INTERESTING SPEAKERS

NJ. /. Powers and Grady Gammage
were the speakers at Fridays Hiram
club meeting and both were applaud
ed to the echo. Their addresses con-
stituted all of the program Chairman
Speed Campbell produced, and filled
the bill to perfection.
Mr.. Powers, who is spending more
of his time in California, looking af-
ter his business interests there, voiced
his regret at being away so much and
gave some cogent reasons why Ari-
zona is the best place in the world.
He enumerated some Of our many
wonderful resources and said the time
must soon come when we will be
closer linked to Los Angeles and will
no longer send our copper and wool
and most of our other products east.
Mr.. Gammage, until now superin-
tendent of schools at Winslow but who
recently accepted the presidency Of
Flagstaff Teachers college training
school, talked appropriately to the
national holiday. He spoke of the con-
flict of ideals existing among people
of this country, of the recent enact
ment requiring the constitutions Of
the United States and Arizona to be
taught in our schools, incidentally
touching on the conditions existing
at the time the constitution was writ
ten. His talk was replete with fact
and quotations from poets and
philosophers.
President Charles Hillebrandt of
the club complimented Mr.. Campbell
on his splendid program, then closed
the meeting.

MRS. CARL DICKINSON AND
OTHERS in CAR ACCIDENT
CAUSED BY A ROAD HOG

Covering the distance between
Bellemont and Winslow in two hours
and 20 minutes is rather a record
achievement. That is what Rex Goble
accomplished Monday in pursuit of
the car which, by failing to give an
inch of road, caused the wrecking of
his sisters Hudson coach short time
before noon.
Mrs. Carl Dickinson with her little
daughter, Lois; her mother, Mrs. w.
B. Goble and Miss Leda Murdock were
on the way to Williams. On the short
turn just this side of O'Brien lane,
Mrs. Dickinson saw a car coming at
full speed in the middle of the mar
row road Realizing her danger, she
pulled out onto the edge of the
steeply banked roadside. In attempt
ing the return to the highway the car
made center skid, turned around and
tipped over on its side.
Mrs. Dickinson was pretty general
ly bruised but fortunately no one was
seriously injured. Mrs. Hazenthaw of
Maine happened by and took word to
Bellemont. Passing tourists righted
the car, which suffered smashed fen
ders and broken glass and towed it to
Bellemont. Ray De Lescaille brought
Mrs. Dickinson to town. In short
time Carl and Rex were on the scene,
Carl drove his wrecked Hudson
straight to the sheriff's office and
Rex made his record dash to Winslow
in an unavailing attempt to head off
the offending car which had not
to give assistance. 1t bore an
Ohio license and had dragging front
license plate. 1t is thought it had
drawn off on a side road and made
camp.

Fred S. Breen talked on publicity
intimating that there are many kinds,
among them free press-agency stuff,
and that publicity to get the publicist
anywhere must be persistent rather
than spasmodic.
Scout Executive Charlie Mccormick
was called to his feet to answer a lot
of unexpected questions about lYs
work fired at him by various mem
bers.

THE BANQUET
At the convention banquet, at the
Woman's club yesterday noon, Presi-
dent A. A. Johns, presiding, paid
graceful tribute to Flagstaff, its hes
pitality, gracious climate, progressive
ness. The speakers he introduced
were Dir. Cloyd H. Marvin, president
University of Arizona, and George E.
Farrand of Los Angeles, organizer
and general counsel for the California
Woolgrowers' association, counsel for
the fruitgrowers' association and for
several other Pacific coast copoera-
tive organizations.
DR.. Marvin's talk was inspirational.
He deplored the tendency of people
to avoid hard work and re-
sponsibility, as it is these things that
largely make people worth while.
The problem we have as a people, he
said, is not how to get a living, but
how best to live together. 1t is
world problem as we'll, its solution in
the golden rule and in mutual respect
and confidence.

BOY KILLED AND ENGINE
WRECKED In RUNAWAY
Photo by Carson

A peculiar railroad wreck, in which
a 12-year-old Mexican boy was killed
and which easily might have had
much more serious consequences, oc-
Cured on Wednesday morning at
Fairview, between Williams and Ash
fork.
No. a eastbound passenger train had
just pulled into Williams. The Fight
helper locomotive that had helped it
up the hill from Ashfork was going
back. The Mexican boy, son of one
of the section men, was playing on a
string of cars standing on the siding
at Fairview. There was box-car in
front, then three flat cars loaded with
steel rails and tank car. The boy
loosened the brakes.
The cars rolled out on to the main
westbound line and down the hill. 1t
is heavy grade there and within a
few moments the runaway cars were
going 80 miles an hour. The engineer
and fireman on the helper engine
chanced to look back and saw the
string of cars bearing down on them.
Both men jumped, escaping unhurt.
The runaways struck the engine.
Some of the steel rails slid clear
through the leading box car and
through the engine. Things were
piled up in pretty bad shape.
The conductor of eastbound passen-
ger train No. 8 saw the cars running
away and got to a phone box as
quickly as possible to warn Ashfork,
knowing that unless there was a
spill along the way the runaway
would hit the yards there at a speed
that might lead to a bad wreck.
The wife of a section foreman, see
ing the runaway cars Immediately
loaded a handcar with water and all
the first aid material she could gather
quickly, and with her daughter start
ed out to give aid as soon as the
crash came. Luckily her aid was not
needed.
