Carnival bowed its way out with
record-breaking attendance as only

In a special statement after the

William Enright, an employee OF

a nervous ailment for five weeks
prior to his departure for the hos

Cottonwood Wash
Approach Washed
Out Second Time

Days of work washed down the
Cottonwood Wash to the Little Col
orado Sunday, when floods caused
from cloudbursts in the Indian
country north of here carried away
the approach to the bridge at that
point The approach had only been
finished the day before, after sim
liar washout some time ago had
made the repairs necessary.
Traffic was routed across the new
approach for the first time Satur-
day afternoon at 800 p. M, and
at $50 p m. Sunday the new ap-
proach was undermined and the
waters were again eating through
the road and several miles Of the
wash's banks above and below the
bridge.
According to city clerk. G. L.
Murphy, who noticed a crack in
the roadway about 500 p. m. Sun
day, and who stayed to see whether
or not the stream would repeat its
havoc, several motorists narrowly
escaped the same fate that befell
Miss Leorena Shipley of Winslow,
who was drowned at that point
September 18th, when a car in
which she was a passenger broke
through the roads surface and
plunged into the waters in the
wash.
These motorists were examining
the road, and deciding that the
crossing could be made safely,
were about to return to their cars
to cross over when the cave-in oc-
Cured.
The high water in the wash was
the result of extremely heavy rains
that fell north of here Saturday
night and Sunday. Every wash
whose source is in that district was
running high Sunday morning, and
the rains that followed Sunday
made the floods heavier.
1t was reported that car was
lost in Manila Wash Sunday, when
a heavy wall of water surprised
a group of motorists at the bottom
of the wash According to railroad
men who passed Manila about 500
D. m. Sunday, only a part of the
top was visible at that time. Who
the owner of the car was has not
been ascertained, but it is thought
that it was probably the machine
of some resident of st. Joe or Hol-
brook.
Although some damage was caus
ed by the heavy rains, an even
greater amount of good resulted,
it is stated, since it will supply
plenty of water for stock on the
ranges for some time to come. 1t
is too late in the season for great
deal of good to result in the way
of grass, however.
The car reported to have been
lost in Manila Wash Sunday was
recovered Wednesday by a wreck
ing car and derrick sent to the
wash by Bazell Motor company.
The machine, a light sedan, was
completely covered over by the
sand. 1t was brought to Winslow
for repairs.

declared California is not going to

in Mexico, and that he wanted to
