HALL HELD WITHOUT BAIL
FOR MURDER OF PLEASANT

Preliminary hearing of Charles
Hall, colored, charged with murder OF
Carl Pleasant, also colored, in Flag
staff on the night of October 80 was
held Tuesday afternoon before JUS
tice of Peace Clarence t. Pulliam.
Hall plead not guilty and was bound
over without bail for trial in super
ior court.
Hall was represented by his attor-
ney, w. E. Ferguson of Holbrook, and
County Attorney Frank Harrison ap-
peared for the state.
Peter Price, eyewitness to the
killing, told a graphic story Of the
affair and the events leading up to it.
Price said he and others were at
Halls house, playing cards. Hall
gave Price key and told him to
open a trunk in the other room and
"get my bottle" He couldn't find
the trunk
Then Hall charged that Pleasant,
who had shortly before been there
and had left for dance, had stolen
the trunk. He told Price to tell
Pleasant to bring it back or he'd kill
him.
Price and Tom Botney at the dance
Iold ISeSdHG butC I1du Sellu he SgOle
the trunk and had threatened to kill
him. Pleasant started back with
them to "straighten it out" when
they met Price near K. ]. Nackard's
residence. Hall was ugly, repeating
his threat to kill. Finally the other
two left them and, separating, start
ed away. Price looked back and
saw Hall grab Pleasant by the throat
and strike him. He went to them.
Pleasant was on his back, Hall on
him holding knife at his throat.
Don't let this man kill me-" Pleasant
said to- Hall. Price jerked Hall away
and Price got up and walked off.
Price and Hall left and it was not
until some of them returned from the
dance that they found Pleasant dead
in the street a half-block or so from
where Price had pulled Hall off him.
Until then, Price said, he had no idea
that Pleasant had been stabbed. The
knife blade had just touched his
heart

is able to get around with much
grumbling, Ira Daugherty and
Fred Russell can converse about
last Sundays adventures without
making too bad face and Jim Till

These four were some part of the
Elks who chased rabbits all over the
desert last Sunday so their ladies
might dine on Tuesday evening.
Just as they started home at $50
when it was beginning to turn cold
they discovered they were out of
gas and that all the others were

jumped upon him-there are various
versions floating about town-but
all agree that he jumped marvel
ously far into the dark for some
reason and landed among abusive
rocks. However, these four were able
to eat more than their share Of

Elks staged their big dinner and

Marion AubineGu Still
Boosts Old Home TOlUn

Marion J. Aubineau, a native son
of Flagstaff, now temporarily So
journing at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, with
the Quaker Oats company, is still
fully alive to the interests of his old
home town. We received from him
this week copy of the Des Moines
Daily Capital containing Arthur Bris-
bane's daily column article boosting
Arizona in general and Flagstaff and
Northern Arizona in particular.
In his enthusiasm, Marion says:
Publicity of this kind so far away
from home will bring results. 1t
proves that the state has something
to sell and that it should step right
out and sell itself"
The article in question is syndi-
Gated by Brisbane and reaches over
300 daily papers scattered over the
United States.
Arizona has awakened in the past
few years to its opportunities and has
been telling the world" with splendid
results.

DAIRY MILK HERE
FREE FROM T. B. GERMS

Coconino county dairy milk is safe,
according to County Farm Agent
Kelvin Henness, who with the federal
veterinary, DR.. F. L. Lingo, has
just completed testing for tubercu-
losis 400 Coconino county cows. OF
this number but two reacted to the
test, one of which was of COW which
was not being milked and the other
the only COW on the place. 1t is the
aim of Mr.. Henness to have here by
spring a modified accredited area, a
district which is free from tubercu-
losis which no untested cows will be
allowed to enter, so that there will be
no need of testing again for at least
two years. DR.. Lingo left Tuesday
