Speeders Getting
Fewer; Court Kept
Going by Battlers

Speeders are either becoming ex-
tremely clever or scarce to the
point of extinction, this weeks
court docket shows, for not one ar
rest for speeding has come before
police magistrate G. 0. Nesting in
the past six days.
However, a warlike spirit has
manifested itself in the Mexican
population, and appearances to an
swer to charges of fighting and
disturbing the peace have been
numerous enough to keep the
wheels of justice turning at an in
teresting rate. Five in all were
found guilty of various types of as
sault and battery and requested to
enrch the city Golfers with their
donations.
Jose Villascuse, Faustizo Rami-
rez and Ramona Serna were listed
without any named opponent, while
Theodore Romora and Florence
Chavez were listed together for en-
gaging in a friendly bout.
Two traffic offenses were listed,
both the offenders paying fines.
Frank Holloway incurred the un-
favorable attention of officer Geo.
Haynes by driving over a fire hose,
and Otto Newt Oliver paid a fine
for double parking on Second st.

New Plan Offered
By Game Warden to
Save Smaller Fish

What seems to be the best and
most humane idea ever advanced
for the preservation of game fish
is contained in a notice released
this week by state game warden d
E. Pettis. The scheme, if carried
out by all fishermen, would save
the life of many small trout, al.
lowing them to grow to a size suf
ficient to guarantee a real battle
when caught.
Under former game preservation
rules, it has been required that al
fish under a certain length b.
thrown back. The new plan is no
law, but it seeks to modify thi
plan. Even when thrown back, tn
small fish have very little chanc
for life, because their mouths ar
torn by the removal of the hool
and the thin covering of slime
which protects the fish, is remove
by the pressure of the fisherman
hands.
Large hooks are suggested b
the game warden as a cure for thi
trouble. By the use Of large
hooks the small sized fish will fin
it impossible to swallow the fl
and only fish over the size linn
can be taken. The game depar
ment solicits the aid of every trr
sportsman in this movement, {
the end that the streams and lax,
may always be well stocked.

Relief From Hot
Wave Promised;
Winslow Is Cool

Promises of cooler weather for
Phoenix, which were issued this
week by the Phoenix weather man,
will include all of Arizona, for ac-
cording to the meteorologist's re-
port the hot wave was the result
of weather conditions in North and
South Dakotas. The high pressure
area that has hovered over the Da-
kotas for the past few days has
moved eastward toward the Ohio
valley, which means, according to
the weather man, that cooler
weather will follow. The moder-
ately warm weather that has been
Winslow's portion for the past
week fades to insignificance when
the temperatures of other Arizona
and California points are read.
The high mark in Phoenix so far
is 112, which is not to be Sneered
at when it is considered that the
figures are taken from a govern
ment instrument, hung in a shady
place. 1t must be almost like
summer in Phoenix in the sun.
AS usual, CallIOrnla lHSISCS IIldL
they have the record, although the
heat record is not of the type to
which the sister state usually
points with pride. In this case,
Needles, with a temperature of 114
degrees, leads all other spots in the
country for excess warmth.
Explanation of the meteorolo-
gist's report is that the high pres
sure area permitted extreme low
pressure areas to form over the
west and middle west. When pres
sure is low, the temperature is
high.
Tucson high mark so far is 104,
which temperature was attained
this week, and Yuma boasted a
mark of 10S.

Local Boy Badly Hurt
In Peculiar Accident
at Williams Last Week

F. R. Daugherty, foreman of the
midnight switch engine, returned
from Los Angeles Monday on No.
% where he has been since June
23rd at the bedside of his son,
Raymond Daugherty, who is suf-
fering from injuries received June
22nd while working with the signal
gang bonding rails" near Will
liamS.
1t seems that young Daugherty,
who is in his early twenties, was
behind the rail laying machine,
while his partner was some dis
tance ahead of it. His partner call
ed to him to come help take a mo-
tor car, which is part of their
equipment, from the rail. AS he
started to comply he stumbled over
spike that had not been entire
ly driven down. This threw him
down with his right leg over the
rail in the path of the oncoming
machine. AS he attempted to arise
the roll in the bottom of his over
alls caught on the offending spike
OBTAINING him long enough for the
machine to catch him.
When the men in charge picked
him up the right leg was twisted
until the right foot rested on the
knee
He was rushed into Williams
where first aid was given by the
company doctor, who removed
three splinters of bone from the
leg.
Later he was moved to the San
ia Fe hospital in Los Angeles where
an X-ray showed that there had
been three fractures of one bone,
and two of the other. The first
break occurred about three inches
below the knee. The others at
short intervals to the ankle.
Mr.. Daugherty stated that the
doctors did not know whether the
leg could be saved or not, as the
wounds caused by the splinters of
bone must heal before the leg can
be set. If no complications set in
there is a good chance to save it.
1t will require about three weeks
for the wounds to heal, he said.

Plan Motorcade
To Strengthen Ties
In Navajo County

When the Motorcade to the
Southern end of Navajo county,
which is planned by the CONNER
cial Club, comes to its successful
conclusion, and when the last
Winslow car returns from it's trek
to Lakeside, Sunday, July 18th, the
whole county will have by the one
action, bound it's communities clos
er together, and made the first step
in the program calculated to build
Navajo county into one of the best
known in the state, with all towns
in it's borders pulling for their
county as whole. This is the an
nouncement made this week by Of
ficials of the club.
Sufficient time has been allowed
for preliminary work to make the
motorcade well-advertsied move,
and Holbrook, Snowflake, Taylor,
st. Joseph and Showlow are to be
invited to join the big pilgrimage
to Lakeside.
Lakeside will have plenty of
time to prepare an open air ban
quet such as only that community
can prepare, and the whole pro-
gram should be supported by every
Navajo county booster. With the
Commercial Club showing real life,
and real move to bind the county
closer together, and with a trip
we'll worth the taking for the seen
cry alone, it is thought that little
difficulty will be experienced in
assembling a motorcade of large
proportions.
Club officials are pointing out
the fact that unfortunately Wins
low residents as a whole know lit
tie about their own county, and
that the roads, scenic views and
other attractions between here and
Lakeside cannot be passed up by
those who really care for Arizona
and the county in which they live.
AS it will be necessary to give
Lakeside the approximately num-
Der of those who will attend from
Winslow at least a week in advance
of the date set, all who plan to go
are asked to communicate with
the secretary of the Commercial
Club. All that is required is a
postal, addressed to the club, stat
ing your intention of joining the
caravan, and giving the number
that will be in your party. This is
absolutely necessary so that the
crowd at Lakeside will neither be
under-fed nor oYer-fed.

INDIAN MILLER
ACQUITTED AT
FLAGST TAF F

Harry (Indian) Miller, Apache
Chieftain, who resides at Canyon
Lodge, was acquitted at $50 Satur-
day evening in the Superior court
at Flagstaff.
The verdict was met with a
storm of applause on the part of
spectators who had followed close
ly the course of the trial. The case
was given to the jury at $50 and
only one ballot was taken, it was
stated after the reading of the ver-
dict.
Miller's wife and daughter were
with him in court when the YER
dict of not guilty was read by the
clerk.
The Indian chief, known as
Chief Crazy Thunder, was charged
with murder in connection with
the Staying of Earl M. Cundiff, OF
Canyon Lodge last March 3.
Miller, a former resident of
Winslow, who also makes frequent
trips to the Meteor City, was here
this week and in commenting on
the verdict said there was moth
ing. else the jury could do; there
was never anything to it."
Referring to a story of the trial,
printed in last weeks Mail, in
which it was reported that Mrs.
Cundiff, wife of the dead man, had
testified that Cundiff had accused
Miller of having once robbed his
store, the Indian Chieftain said
this was an error as Mrs. Cundiff
had made no such statement. In
stead she had testified at the trial,
in attempting to show motive, that
she had overheard her husband
talking to Miller at one time re-
garding the robbery of Cundiff's
store, saying that Miller had said
he had found the stuff and had it
at his home and that Cundiff could
come after it. Miller said, how
ever, that Mrs. Cundiff had said at
the inquest that her husband had
told her this and her testimony
was ruled out as hearsay evidence
at the Flagstaff trial. There was
never anything said about my hav-
ing had any connection with the
robbery of Cundiff's store" Miller
said, "and l just want this error
cleared up"

Week of Patriotic
Observance Opened
Here Last Monday

Each year patriotic America, on
July 4th, offers it's homage to the
heroes and statesmen who laid the
foundation for this great nation,
but the coming holiday is to be

for the formal opening of the Ses-
qui-Centennial exposition in that
city.

where. The United States govern
ment will take part, as we'll as the

Winslow this week when Mrs. Lo-

That it was a joyous surprise to
Mr.. Gillard when he received word

Southern Pacific
May Run Buses to
Northern Arizona

That the Southern Pacific may
run buses to the Northern Arizona
area along the trail of Thousand
Miles of a Thousand Wonders" is
the belief of road boosters and
chambers of commerce officials
in cities and towns along the route
from Clifton, Springerville, ST.
Johns, Concho, Holbrook, Winslow
and Flagstaff, following the visit
here last week of J. D. Mason, gen.
eral passenger agent of the com
pany.
Mr.. Mason was on a tour of in
spection starting at Clifton, in COM
pany with Mayor Peter Riley and
A. J. Kerr, county engineer of
Greenlee county. The party first
visited the White Mountain coun-
try, through Hannigan's Meadows
over the newly finished Coronado
Trail, to Springerville, where with
]. w. Becker, of the Springerville
Chamber of Commerce, they were
shown the many points of interest
in that section of the state before
proceeding to the Petrifieid Forest
and the Painted Desert north of
Holbrook.
Friday the party were entertain
ed by the Holbrook Rotary, num-
ber of Winslow Rotarians and
members of the Commercial Club
going down to meet them and es-
cort them on to Meteor Mountain,
% miles west of here.
From Meteor Mountain they con-
tinued on to Flagstaff where rep
resentatives of the Flagstaff Cham
Der of Commerce took them In hand
for side trips out of there includ-
ing the Grand Canyon, and the In
dian country northeast Of there.
The object of the Southern Paci
fic officials visit to this section of
the state at this time is to inyesti-
gate general conditions with a view
of establishing bus line out of
Clifton at some future time, going
over the 'loop route" and back
down to Phoenix, the trip to con-
sumo some three or four days.
While Mr.. Moson would make no
statement as to the plans of his
company he said he was very much
impressed with what he had seen
and would make full report to
his company headquarters in San
Francisco.
If such a step is taken by the
Southern Pacific company, it is the
plan of the various chambers of
commerce along the route to try
and interest the Santa Fe railroad
to start a similar service along
their route in Northern Arizona.
The Winslow mail., 1926-07-02

The contractors stated yesterday
that the building will be ready for
occupancy about September 1st,
when the plant and offices of The
Mail will be moved.
Plans of the publishers call for
installation of considerable new
machinery and press equipment,
which will give WinslOw one Of the
most modern newspaper and print
ing plants i'm Northern Arizona.
Other plans are also under con-
SideratiOn by the publishers.
With the letting of the contract
for The Mail building, following
that of the TrimbIe building, to be
occupied by the Penney store and
the Pay N Takit store, it is I'M
derstOOd that plans are going for
ward for the construction of new
theater building on the site for
merIy occupied by the old Bank Of
WinslOW, which was recently pur-
chased by John BarncOrd. Work Of
razing the present building will
start in the near future, it is said,
and construction of the theater
building started sometime during
the month of August. Work on the
Trimble building will be started
within the next ten days, the resi-
dence building ON that site having
been razed the past week.
With the three business buildings
going up in the heart Of the busi-
ness district means building pro-
gram of around $4,000 in the con-
StructiOn program, according to
figures ON the three contracts.

HOLBROOK OPPOSES navajo.
COUNTY COMMERCIAL CLUB

Wednesday evening at a special
meeting of the committees from
Navajo county Commercial Clubs
held in Holbrook, the proposed
county Commercial Club received
it's first opposition, when the Hol-
brook organization, which has
been disbanded for some time, sent
its committee already instructed to
refuse to cooperate with any
county clubs on the proposed, plan
for advertising Navajo county to
the outside world.
Previous to this, at an informal
meeting in Holbrook last week, at
which time a number of Winslow
citizens met with the Holbrook
Rotary club, many Holbrook citi-
zense express themselves in favor
of advertising Navajo county, and
pointed to the past failure of in
dependent community organiza-
tions to produce as ample reason
for testing out the county club
idea.
At the Wednesday night meeting
delegates from Snowflake, who
some time ago went on record as
favoring county Commercial
Club, reiterated their intention of
supporting the idea. The st.
Joseph delegation, who had not
had the plan throughly explained
to them and were therefore con-
versant with the various phases of
the proposed advertising campaign,
were inclined to side with Holbrook
in opposing the project.
All agreed, however, that Navajo

Special Holiday
Attractions On AT
Flag and Prescott

1t is understood that Winslow
will present the general aspect of
the aforementioned deserted viii
lage" over Sunday and Monday,
July 4th and 5th, with so many
Fourth of July celebrations offer
ed by nearby communities, and
with no particular local attractions
on the schedule for those days.
Flagstaff; Prescott, Clear Creek
and the lake resorts will probably
draw the biggest patronage from
those who will seek rest over the
double holiday.
Practically every store, office
and business in Winslow will re-
main closed all day Monday, July
5th, with the exception of drug
stores, service stations and garages
and the personnel of these will be
depleted.
In Flagstaff and in Prescott def
mite and attractive programs, both
of Wild West flavor, have been
arranged. Days of '49" an annual
fiesta given by the Elks, will hold
the center of the stage in Flagstaff
and will draw many Winslowites to
the Skylight City.
In Prescott the Frontier Days"
celebration will give natives and
tourists glimpse back of the pres
ent into the life of Arizona as it
was lived when this country was
new. All the old cowboy pastimes,
trick riding, roping, bull-dogging
and bronco-riding will be on the
program, with many additional at
fractions of more modern nature.
In contrast to the perturbation
of frontier life will be the flying

county is actually very much in
need of exploitation and introduc~
tion to other parts of state and
nation, and no plan was advanced
that was just and equitable to
carry out such advertising, other
than the original county chamber
of commerce idea
Under the law county supervi-
sors are allowed to appropriate a
sum for immigration purposes, for
the purpose of advertising to in
duce immigration into the county.
This work is done by Commercial
Clubs, whose activities are aimed
at that same objective, and the du-
ties of an immigration commission
er are the same as those of a Com
mercial Club secretary, it was
pointed out.
The enthusiasm and determina-
tion that has marked the present
Winslow Commercial Club as diff
ferent from past organizations here
of like nature, and which points
to a long life for the new club, is
still felt, and the local club, back
ed by Lakeside and Snowflake, will
continue with their plan to adver-
tise the entire county, according to
club officials yesterday.
They also feel that in the long
