FLAGSTAFF MAN WAS
MURDERED NEAR GALLUP;
WIFE SUSPECTED OF CRIME

Juan Sanches, Flagstaff man, was
found murdered Sunday morning near
Gallup. Mrs. Cadnina Gurule de San
ches and her brother, Bonito Gurule
were arrested and are being held in
the Gallup Jail in connection with the
killing.
A few weeks ago, Juan Sanches was
married to Mrs. Gurule here in Flag
staff. Wishing to make this his per-
manent home, he started overland
with team to get his household
goods at Gallup, Mrs Sanches, her
brother, Bonito, and two children,
nephews Of Mrs. Sanches, accompany
ing him. About a mile and a half
this side of Gallup, Sanches was slain,
his skull being split deeply in two
places.
The only motive for the crime thus
far advanced is that Mrs. Gurule San
ches wished to remain in Gallup, that
being her former home. The only
known Flagstaff relative of the dead
man is Mrs. Joe Sanches, his step
daughter.

DALLAS ELKS' COWBOY
BAND SERENADED us

Flagstaff was treated to a fine
band concert from four to five Tues
day afternoon, when a special train

convention at Portland, Oregon. stop
ped here for an hour to let the pas
sengers stretch their legs. Advance
information of the plan to stop here
had been sent to Frank Harrison, ex-
alted ruler of the local Elks lodge,
who saw to it that people here were
pretty generally informed of the plan;
so when the 45-piece cowboy band and
the fife and drum corps with several
hundred other Texans stepped off the
train here there was a good crowd to
meet them.
The band paraded through the busi-
ness section to the courtyard, where
1t gave concert. Dressed in colored
shirts, gray chaps with big hats, the
men were picturesque indeed, and
they could play, all right They
seemed to enjoy the stop here as
much as the local people did and ex-
pressed regret that they did not know
about our Recreation park dance hall
because if they had, they said, they
would have arranged for longer stay
and dance here. Before the train
left Fred Browning and Ralph Davis
carried a lot of advertising booklets
published by the Junior Chamber of
Commerce to the train and distributed
them as souvenirs of the call here.

CHARLES BABBITT JR.
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
SATURDAY BY SHOTGUN

One of the saddest tragedies that
has occurred in Flagstaff in a lone
time was in connection with the death
last Saturday afternoon of Charles
Babbitt Jr., a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Babbitt of this city. The
young man was killed instantly by the
accidental discharge of a shotgun.
Charles had gone home from Bab-
bitt Bros. Trading Co. store fairly
early in the afternoon. He went to
the, sleeping porch of the family home
on West Birch avenue, and was dis
covered tbout two hours later by his
father when he returned home for the
evening. He had then been dead
some time.
The housekeeper knew that the
young man had come sin, but did not
remember hearing the shot. There
had been some blasting going on and
she had heard that, and it is likely
heard the shot but attributed it to the
blasting
1t will never be known to a GER
tainty just how the accident occurred.
The gun was found lying across the
unfortunate victims arm, the charge
having struck him on the right side of
he,face, tearing away the upper part
of his head. A coroner's jury was at
once empanelled by Justice of the
Peace Tom Pulliam and the verdict
was that death was accidental.
The high requiem mass. funeral was
held at the Catholic church Monday
morning, Rev. Fir. Ed Albouy officiat-

COUNTY BUDGET SHOWS
TAXES WILL BE- BIGGER

In adopting the estimated budpat
for the county for the fiscal year end.
ing June 30, 1926, county board Of sr-
pervisors on Monday decided that the
sum of $4,000 would have to be
raised by direct taxation. This is an
increase Of $4,000 over the amount
raised by direct taxation last year.
The amount raised last year proved
to be below the amount needed. so
there has been a heavy overdraft. The
general fund at the end of last month
was overdrawn $4,000 and the road
fund $18,000
Of the $396,000 to be raised bv tax
alton this year, $265,OO is for general
county requirements and $131 900 for
special district requirements.
Durlng the last year the expendi-
lures were $469,0OO, considerably
more than twice the amount raised bv
taxes. Of course, the situation was
helped somewhat by balance on hand
at the beginning of the year and, by
the forest service apportionment to
our roads and schools.
The supervisors pared the budget
Tor this year as low as they believed
they could with safety. Nearly every
department was cut. The cut in roads
was especially heavy. Captain ]. B.
Wright, county engineer, had asked
for $4,000 more than allowed, his es-
tlmated requirements for new road
construction being cut 100000 and
maintenance $4,000, giving him a
total for both of $4,000 when lie had
asked for $145,000.
The estimated budget is printed in
this issue of The Sun. 1t viii be
adopted, with some minor changes
perhaps, at the August meeting of the
board Of supervisors.

WHY PICK ON US?


The Sun has no objection to auto
mobiles coming in it's front door; but
the door isn't open at night. Conse-
quently one night the latter part of
last week when Mrs. Lee Doyle's big
car slipped its anchor, scorned its
brakes and, occupied only by dog,
waltzed across the street in a down
hill direction and tried to bust its
way in, it just couldn't be done. May
be the car didn't want to get in any
way but was an accomplice Of the
flies, the latter suspicion induced by
the fact that while it didn't bust
big enough hole through the screen
door frame to let itself in. said hole
has been busy ever since letting IN the
flies. No damage to car, but il al
most ruined the dogs nerves.
