During the winter solstice, when
from their present main village at
Walpi the sun seems to drop into
the depression between Mt. Elden

Hit-And-Run Driver
Kills Phoenix Man

PHOENIX - Believed to have
been the victim of a ''hit and run"
motorist, Silvestre Avila, % years
old, a Mexican, presumably of
Phoenix, was killed on Grand
avenue near Alhambra sometime
during Saturday night. His body,
cold when it was found, was dis
covered about o'clock in the
morning. Deputy Sheriff Carl
Rousseau answered a call sent to
the sheriff's office telling of the
dead body, and he established iden-
tification from papers found on the
victims person.
Examination of the body disclos-
ed that the skull had been fractur-
ed and that there were numerous
bruises of severe nature. Sheriff's
deputies said they were convinced
the man was struck by an auto
mobile, probably travelling at a
high rate of speed. They express
ed the opinion that he had been
was discovered.
Papers found on Avila showed
that he entered this country by
way of Ell Paso last February 10.
It was also indicated that he had
been employed as a laborer for the
Southern Pacific railroad.
The body was removed to the
Maus undertaking rooms, where it
will remain pending burial ar
rangements. An effort is being
made to determine whether Avila
had relatives in this city or vicin-
ity.

Trail' Highway Name

CLIFTON, May 1S.-Nogales, Tomb

Arizona WISH to use the title "The
Coronado Trail which the Clifton
ISpringerville highway association has
adopted as the name of it's road
through the Apache national forest,
124 miles in length, from Clifton to
Springerville, which will be opened
and dedicated with suitable ceremony
June 1920.
A. II. Gardner, manager of the Hua-
chuca Water company, Tombstone, fol-
lowing conference with civic organi-
zations in towns to the south, hae
written Mayor Peter Riley of Clifton,
president of the Clifton -Springerviiic
highway association, concerning the
matter. Would you folks have any
objection" he writes, IF Nogales.
/ Tombstone and Wilcox applied the
name of "The Coronado Trail" to our
highway from Nogales to Springer
! vile. we have q lot of reasons
why We should use that name, for in.
stance, the Coronado forest is crossed
! practically all the way from Nogales
! to Wilcox, mountains of that reserve
! being on either side of the road all
the way and in Santa Cruz the road
runs on the reserve. the Ninth ma

! national monument, the greatets PIN
nacln form. monument in the world.
/ anG aIhen historic Tombstone one of
| our most advertised towns in truth
\ and fiction stories of the day"
Riley placed the matter before the
clifton commercial club and a motion
!. carried to permit the southern towns
! to use the name, provided such action
! meets with the approval of the Sprin-
/ gerTille chamber of commerce, with
: which the. secretary was instructed to
4 communicate at once.
\ Riley pointed out that in his expes
ditiJn north from New Spain or Old
Mexico 386 years ago Don Francisco
Vasquez de Coronado must have pass
/ ed over a route more or less CORES
! ponding to the route now motorized
| from Nogales and Tombstone north, to
i clifton and thence through the Apache
tnatiQnal forest, and in consequence
lit would only be right for the towns
to the south to share with Clifton
and Spring the use of the title
