BLAZE in BUSINESS SECTION
BUILDING IS SOON PUT OUT

A lively blaze that broke out yes
terday noon in the rear of the Ben
der cafe building on San Francisco
street was put out in few minutes
after the prompt appearance of the
fire department.
The building is owned by Joe Blum
berg. Bender closed the restaurant
some time ago, pending completion OF
his new restaurant building on Rail
road avenue, but practically all of his
equipment and supplies were still
stored there. The building is soon to
be occupied by Jules Bonal, with
French grocery.
The fire seemed to have started IN
a water closet on the rear porch, and
practically all of the damage to the
building was to the sheet iron addi-
ton at the rear of the structure, the
rest of which is brick. Loss covered
by insurance.
Cheyenne Thomas, one of the fire
men, suffered the only casualty, bad
cut by sheet iron on one wrist.

LADIES AND BOOZE; BIG
SCRAP; PAID In COURT

Too much white mule was the
cause of much excitement Sunday
night in the pool hall of Jim Gutter
rez, South San Francisco street,
Flagstaff.
So Gutierrez went to town Jail,
much beaten up about the head and
shoulders, the result of the delicate
attentions Of Pantalone Baca, who
welded a wicked two-foot file as a
social weapon. A leather mackinaw
saved the donor of the punishment
from a return of the compliment, said
coat, however, being much shredded
vertically.
Six quarts Of anti-Volstead was all
that was left when City Marshal JUS
tin r. Cooper responded to the sos
sent out by Night Marshal B. G..
Black for support in quelling the riot
Four ladies who are said to have
played parts in this sanguinary fra
cas- were not arrested.
The victim of the assault and the
victor appeared before Police Magis-
trate Zadok Sheffield next morning.
The latter, whose breakfast was not
thoroughly digested, soaked Gutierrez
$3.50 for possession of the booze, S25
for disturbing the peace and $25 for
something else, general principles
perhaps; while Baca was assessed a
hundred simoleons and given 30 days
in Jail, the latter part of the sentence
later being suspended.

commented on our ''blase" attitude.
Alongside the boat were dozens of
shiny, bronze-skinned native BOYS,
kicking around the ship, away out in
the harbor, yelling for passengers to
throw them coins to dive for. They
never miss coin, though the water
was fully 100 feet deep down where
they were floating around with the ap-
parent ease of large frogs.
/ do not know just what the Vol
stead and customs house officers were
sore about, but they were very vigil
lent and snappy. As our carrier-boy
was Juggling our knapsack off the ship
it was snapped up by dusky badge
bedecked official and examined to the
last sox. 1t was rather more the of
fensive way the thing was done than
because he wanted to see what kind
of pajamas l wore. This pious duty
having been performed, we wended our
way to our old haunt, the Alexander
Young hotel, to incarcerate ourselves
until the old factory whistle on the
boat should call us back to the old
grind again the next evening.

FLAGSTAFF GOLF CLUB IS.
ORGANIZED; GROUNDS TO.
BE SELECTED NEXT WEEK

Temporary organization, that bids
fair soon to be permanent, was eff
fected by local golf enthusiasts on
Wednesday night at a meeting at the
Arizona Central bank. E. A. Haight,
cashier of the Arizona Central bank,
was elected president and DR.. Vaughn
S. Mcclure secretary.
T. A. Riordan, who has been golf
fan for the last 15 years, during which
he has played on many links and made
scores that few of the other Flagstaff
golfers can hope to equal, was at the
meeting and his counsel was of great
benefit. Soil conditions present the
greatest obstacle, and because of the
flat surface of city recreation park
and the soil formation it was decided
that would not be a good location.
What now seems to be the best bet
is a portion of the forest service land
near the city reservoir, which is roll
ing enough, is not boggy in wet
weather and seemingly affords an
ideal site for at least nine-hole
course. There would be no charge for
this site if it can be obtained from
the forest service.

Having reskirted the island of
Hawaii dIring the night old Koko
Head on Oahu showed up early in the
morning and just before passing Dia-
mond Head, the second outstanding
point along this side, couple army
planes came out and gave us the once
over, doing all sorts of stunts over
and around the ship. Later, squad
ron of 27 army planes came out to
greet us, making circle around the
big ship like flock of huge birds,
then went back to land.
We slowly moved down along, but
we'll off the coast, past Diamond Head,
making for the harbor. Officials in
small boats came out to greet US, but
did not poster passengers with any
formalities. AS we came into the har-
Dor at about 1890, a tender with the
ROYAL Hawaiian band greeted US and
circled the boat, playing national airs.
The world tramps seemed to think
more of their "vittles" than they die
of the courteous greeting. Instead of
lining the decks, they went to lunch
and let the band play on. Papers and
people at Honolulu felt the greeting
and special attention had not been re-

OPERATION SUCCESSFUL

Word has been received from Anna
Kunzelman, who went to Chicago sew
eral weeks ago for operations and
treatment for deformed limbs, that
she is very happy with the progress
that they have made with her at
Mercy hospital. Some time ago her
leg was operated upon successfully.
When she last wrote the doctors had
also operated upon her arm and hand.
They had just removed 81 stitches
from her arm and pronounced the
work very satisfactory. Friends here
will be glad to hear of this wonderful
progress being made toward complete
recovery from the crippled condition
which has been hers since infancy.

We did not take the prescribed pro-
gram. Not because it was a bad thing
to do, rather because we wanted to
shop around and re-take some of the
old familiar views in a personal way
and to revamp our collar boxes.
Speaking of laundry, there's a fine
opening on board this boat for a few
real mouth waters -squirters who know
the game. AS it is, you turn in your
laundry to this floating cleansing de-
partment as it may occur. At first
you think you will get it back before
your other collar is dirty; then you
hope you'll get it back; then you get
annoyed by the extraordinary DELAY

extinct and your ticket is used up.
But never mind that. We can travel

JUDGE JACOBS THROWS
OUT GOMEZ CASE; GOES
U.S.. COURT OF APPEALS

Judge Jacobs of the u. S. district
court at Phoenix on Saturday decided
against the city of Flagstaff in its
attempt to hold the U. S. Fidelity &
Guaranty Co. responsible to the
amount of it's bond in the Gomez
child death-damage case and now the
case goes to the U. S. court of ap-
peals.
Judge Jacobs decided on point of
law against the plaintiff and a triat
by jury, on the ground that the sewer
contractor having been acquitted Of
liability in a previous trial here i'll
Flagstaff, his bondsmen were thereby
also absolved from liability.
One of those present at the hearing
and who hoped to be a witness for
Flagstaff in the event the case went
to jury in Judge Jacobs court, was
Francis D. Cradle of Prescott, for
merly city attorney of Flagstaff.
Flagstaff is in its present predca-
ment because after the original trial
of the damage suit, in which Flag
staff and the sewer contractor were
Jointly defendants, when appeal was
taken TO the state supreme court, the
appeal bond required was not filed on
Behalf of Flagstaff. Bond had been
filed for the contractor. On this
techmcaIity the burden was taken en-
tireIy from the contractor and rested
with this city.
Cradle told Attorney John L. Gust,
special attorney for Flagstaff, last
week that the reason he did not file
the appeal bond was because in tele-
phone conversation Charles r. Hor
ton, attorney for the contractor had
assured him that he would himself
attend to that formality. Mr.. Cradle
said he authorized Mr. Horton to
sign his, CRADLES, name to the ap-
peal and that Horton did that, but
neglected to file the appeal bond.
This city as it stands now is liable
for the full amount Of the judgment
Gomez obtained year before last,
which amounted to a little more than
$4,000 and which with interest
amounts to more than $4,000, un-
less the u. S. court of appeals holds
the contractors bondsman must pay
$4,000, the amount of the bond taken
out by the contractor.
The case and the numerous trials
that have followed resulted from the
drowning of small child of the
Gomez family in an open sewer ditch.

FLAG GUN CLUB COPS
AGAIN; NEXT SUNDAY Is
MOST IMPORTANT One

Their date open in the Uncle Dud
interstate trapshooting contest, Flag
staff Gun club only had one competi-
tor last Sunday. We shot against
Grand Canyon in the Phoenix Republi-
can state tournament, winning 232 to
227.
This leaves Flagstaff and Williams
heading the list in the state tourney,
each club having won twice and lost
not at all.
Next Sunday we shoot against Fort
Morgan, cracks of the Uncle Dud ag-
gregation and against Phoenix in the
state tourney. More hangs on this
next event than on any the others
that have gone before or that will fol-
low in either tournament, as both our
competitors are those most formidable
for the respective cups. If Flagstaff
wins against Phoenix on Sunday it
will assure one the state cups coming
here; if we win against both of our
competitors we stand splendid
chance of winning both cups.
High men locally last Sunday: Wild
Raudebaugh As, Ed Babbitt At, Ed
Raudebaugh At, Loren Cress, 45,
Hiram Stowe as.
There were a lot of other trap
shooters out and some other good
scores made, most of them running
we'll over 40. A sharp wind and the
new trap were handicaps.
One of the finest features of these
local shoots is the splendid spirit of
craftsmanship prevailing. Not man
ranking among the high five but con-
sistently plugs for some of the other
fellows to make a higher score and
displace him; there being a genuine
spirit of team work on the part of all
to make the total showing the best
possible without regard to individual
honors.
The freight carload of targets ar
rived few days ago and now there
are plenty for the rest of 1925.

ney:

FLACSTAFF'S new
DEPOT ON
ITS WAY

The following letter from w. K.
Etter, general manager of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway company, to |. B. Koch,
member Flagstaff city council,
gives welcome news about the new
depot we are all so deeply con-
cerned about.
February 6, 1925
Mr.. /. B. Koch,
Vice-President and Manager,
Arizona Lumber & Timber Co.
Flagstaff, Arizona.
Dear Mr. Koch:
[ have your letter of February 5
and am very glad to advise that the
matter of depot at Flagstaff is not
dormant. Our request for formal
approval of the amount set aside
for this facility is now in the hands
of our executives, and we will no
doubt hear from it soon. In the
meantime, we have several ques-
tions under discussion among our
selves as to dimensions, ETC., and |
will no doubt soon be able to send
you a sketch showing the floor
plan, as we'll as the elevation, and
we hope to be able to commence
work as soon as weather conditions
are favorable.
We will also, little later on, be
on hand with a request to the city
council that the necessary resolu-
tions be passed covering the closing
of the street which we expect to
occupy with the new station.
Yours very truly,

ONE YEAR AGO
By a Sister of Loretto

Gods priest, whose faith earnest, holy, deep,
Had sought his for rest and quiet sleep
How could he guess, Deaths angel, flying low,
O'ershadowed him cen in the sunsets glow;
And drawing nearer the darkness fell
Whispered the warning IBID earth's scenes farewell"
Twas not his native land, 'mong his race
This had IabOred long, missed the trace
Of his dear Masters footsteps, mid the slime,
The noise, the suffering in the climb
Up rough ascent to Calvary, where Christ led
Cross -burdened shoulder, and thorn-wreathed head
The sleeping oft felt the weary load
Yet resolved to tread the blood dstained road,
Until his Master, turning at the end,
Did bid him welcome, faithful friend
Whose constant love and service, then complete
Should win a place to the nail pierced feet.
Still life was dear; sometimes the world looked fair
AS if large draughts of Heaven in the air.
Some souls responded to his ardent ZEAL
RemOrse and shame enforced the priests appeal
Till sweetest JOY that Heaven give
his, when he could bid the dead souls to live
And yet-and yet-Death's angel drawing
Barred every sound of earth from loved ones ear;
No hear the tale of human
No beloved shall eyes unclOse.
Stiffened and cold they found him where he lay
needing cen the dawn of massblessed day.
And what had passed between God and his soul,
We ne'er fathOm till reach the goal
1t is enough; twas mans best Friend who called
Unto vision, which his heart enthraled.
His term ended, though he did not know,
His work complete; twas time for him to go.
Let those who loved him, feel vain regret,
For the good Pastor who year hath slept;
Not unprovided, the summons hence,
He rests secure, in Gods sweet providence.
While wholesome lesson wisely read
To be prepared for that great hour of need

c. N. BERTELING WANTS
MOUNTAIN WATER RIGHTS

That Charles N. Berteling of Flag
staff has filed applications with the
state water department for a permit
to appropriate the unapproprIated
public waters from the surface and
underground flow on the north, north
west and west slopes of the San Fran
cisco mountains to be stored for bene-
ficial use in the Walker lake; the sur
face and underground flow from the
inner basin of San Francisco noun
tains to be stored for beneficial use
in the Red reservoir; and the surface
and underground waters on the west
slope of the mountains above the $500
foot contour to be stored for bene-
ficial use in Crater lake, is word re-
ceived this week from the board of
supervisors of this county from the
state water department.
The letter further states: "The bene-
ficial uses to which this applicant
purposes to apply the said waters are
municipal, domestic, stock watering,
garden irrigation and power.
"The records of this office show no
filing of any kind for permit to ap-
propriate the waters set forth in the
above applications and there -ould,
therefore, so far as this department
is concerned, be no reason why permit
should not be issued under the appli-
cation of Mr. Berteling.
eve are calling this matter to your
attention for the purpose of notifying
you that permit will issue to Mr.
Berteling under all of the above-nam
ed applications on February 10, 1925,
unless this department is notified
prior to said date of right claimed
by you, or other parties in interest,
to these waters or locations"
These rights were formerly owned
by G. A. Spencer, later by the Arizona
Cattle and Sheep Co., organized by
Spencer. The rights, through disuse,
became invalid.
1t is believed that Mr.. Berteling
seeks to acquire the rights for his own
future development, though it has
been suggested that he may be acting
either for Mr.. Spencer, with whom he
formerly was associated, or for John
w. Weatherford, with whom ne has
been more recently associated.
1t is understood that the rights ap-
piled for do not in any way conflict
with those of Flagstaff's water sys-
tenn. However, Judge F. w. Perkins
of Flagstaff, now in Phoenix, has been
notified and will be sure that this
city's rights are in no way interfered
with.
