KANSAS MAN, DEAF AND PROMINENT DECORATOR
DUMB, KILLED BY TRAIN HERE TO FIX UP TOWN
NEAR HERE SUNDAY NIGHT FOR THE BIG CELEBRATION

o. B. Todd, president of the Todd
Decorating company of Houston,
Texas, formerly of Pittsburgh, Pa,
the largest concern of its kind in the
south and as large as any in the
United States, arrived in Flagstaff on
Wednesday, accompanied by his wife.
They came for two purposes, to spend
their vacation here where it's cool and
tq decorate Flagstaff for the big
show. Mr.. Todd brought several thou
sand dollars worth of highest-class
decorating material with him. He had
just finished putting up SIT 900
worth of decorations for the Ma
tional Advertising Mems convention in
Houston.
Mr.. Todd will make Flagstaff beau
tiful. We are especially fortunate in
having him here as he seldom is call
ed to town of this size. In our case,
because he wanted to come here on
vacation, he agreed to decorate the
business section, with the connivance
of Flagstaff city council, at half or
less what it ordinarily would cost.
Many Flagstaff business people will
no doubt want to make special ar
rangements with him for special
decorating of their own.

FRANK A. CHISHOLM
NOW MARRIED MAN

Frank Chisholm better not come
back to Flagstaff. In another column
we're saying all manner of good
things about him and his leaving here.
Now we learn that without asking the
consent Of people here, not even tell
ing them about it or asking their adj
vice, he's gone over to Los Angeles
and got license to marry Miss Ro-
berta S. Sinclair. Deducing from
that, it is deduced that he's married
by this time and on a galiivanting
honeymoon jaunt.
Frank is Scotch. He's never shown
the national trait, closeness of fist,
but his friends herell agree he makes
up for it in closeness of mouth; for he
never told no one.
Certain it is that Frank has made
wise choice. And his bride is no
poor picker when it comes to get
ting a husband.
Congratdlations to both and hopes
Frank will soon bring her back here
and pass around the introductions.
Besides, there are few things about
him we want to whisper to her in
strictest confidence.

SENATOR ASHURST AND
CAMERON AT ROTARY

There was food in plenty for
thought and loads of enjoyment in
the program of speech and music pro-
vided at Rotary on Tuesday by Ed
Miller, chairman for the day.
U. S. Senators Henry F. Ashurst
and Ralph Cameron, here with the
senatorial public lands subcommittee,
were present with their ladies as well
as numerous visiting Rotarians and
other guests.
NJ. |. Powers at the request of the
chairman briefly welcomed the guests
in few well-chosen words. Miss Mil
dred Whetsel of Teachers college gave
a piano solo and then Professor C. V.
Ridgely Of the college played vio-
lin solo, accompanied by Miss Whet-
sci. Both numbers were well worth
going a long way to hear. Miss Elsa

struction of the new building, which,
under his contract, is to be completed

Royal w. Lescher, architect who
drew the plans, was here the first of
the week and opened the six bids sub
mitted.
The building will be at the corner
of Leroux and Aspen, fronting on Le-
roux. It will be 50x105 feet, so con-
structed that it may be added to
later, Mrs. Hall having four other lots
north of those on which the building
will be placed. 1t will be two stor-
les and basement, the basement and
main 50x80-foot store to be occupied
by the J. c. Penney Co., the upper

THEY'RE AWAY!

1t was not until late yesterday
afternoon that it could be found
out what votes had been cast in
the "Belle of '49'' contest. There
are many thousands of votes still
out, but the workers for two of
those nominated have turned in
part of their votes, and this is the
count:
Miss Mary COstigan.1 .102, 900
Miss Alice MOler--..-.-.....-.----. 900
Votes for other candidates and
many for the two named above are
being held Not for any other pur-
pose, apparently, than that the peo-
pie selling the tickets have not
found it convenient to turn the
money in.
The committee wishes to make
this request:
Money for all tickets sold up to
next Wednesday night, please turn
in to the treasurer of the finance
committee, Clarence t. Puiliam,
not later than next Thursday noon.
When you turn in the money, tell
NIL L ullldIil wiz SClo IitE NOlCS
the money entities you to cast-one
thousand votes for each dollar
turned in.
The standing of the contestants
will be published next week. There
may be a lot of surprises. There
may be several dark horses. Miss
Costigan likely will not know that
she has more than the thousand
votes she received with her NOM
ination until she reads this in The
Sun. Five of her friends cast
101 900 votes for her late yesterday
afternoon.
1t will be a high honor to be the
Belle of 49," 1t will be lot of
fun, too.

the first marriage ceremony perform

A deaf mute, j. Henry Mckay,

locomotive at Cosnino at IL O'Clock

that he died on his way to Flagstaff,
The mans mother lives in Wake

Mckay had stopped in Winslow,
where he had an epileptic fit and was
cared for by some railroad men. He
rode west from there on a freight,

nino to give a clear track to a spe-
cial passenger train running as the

freight caboose and started walking

when he was hit.
He was not run over, but several

REFUSED TO CALL DOCTOR
WHEN CHILD WAS BORN

Ernest Dyer of Bellemont, his own
attorney, was confronted by his wife,
Miss Irene Lebsch, trained nurse of
Williams, and a Mrs. Shelton, a
neighbor, in Justice of the Peace Tom
Pulliam's court Tuesday afternoon
where Dyer was given preliminary
hearing on the charge, of refusing to
provide a doctor for his wife either
during or after her confinement, IL
days before, when a baby son was
born to the couple.
Failure to call physician in such
case is violation of the state law
and may be punished by a peniten-
tiary term. County Attorney Frank
Harrison severely scored the man for
unkindness to his wife and children.
Justice Pulliam was in dilemma. He
did not want to bind Dyer over for
superior court and possible sentence
to the penitentiary, as he felt Dyer's
wife and children needed his support
He asked Dyer if he would go home
and be kind to his family and see that
home conditions were decent. The
latter waxed cockiIy eloquent and Mr.
Pulliam ordered him to "sbut up
while he conferred with Mr.. Harrison
He finally was released.
Mrs. Dyer was formerly the wife OF
Ernest Scholz, once rancher west Of
here, now of Jerome. Dyer was {

GRAZING FEES WAIVED

Forest Supervisor E. G. Miller of

advised by District Forester Pooler
that all grazing fees on national for

Recommendation of Chief Forester
Greeley after inspecting forest condi-
tons in this state.
The desperate condition faced by
stockmen this year, elimination of

decision after a thorough inspection
of the ranges in the state.
