dersheriff Bert Savage of Yavapai
county took Ray Perry of Barland
Prairie, and Sam Johnson of Red
Lake, to Prescott, where they will
stand trial for burglary in connec-
ton with the Cottonwood Drug
store robbery last week.
The alleged thugs were picked
up in Williams by attaches of the
sheriff's office here and brought
to Flagstagstaff to await their re-
turn to Prescott.
The men entered the Cottonwood
Drug store about nine o'clock last
Wednesday evening while the pro-
prietOr was busy waiting on the
trade. There were five people i'll
the store at the time when it is
alleged that Perry walked quietly
up to the proprietor and poked a
gun into his ribs and told him to
go to the cash register and empty
it's contents. The men were un-
masked and made their getaway
without disturbing any of the Gus
toners within the store.

B.P.O. ELKS HOLD
MEMORIAL DAY
SERVICES DEC. S

Winslow Elks on Sunday after
noon at their lodge rooms Joined
Elks lodges in thousands of cities
in the nation in observing Elks
Memorial Day, which by tradition
is held on the first Sunday in De-
cember. Those who have attend
ed Elks affairs know that the mem
ory of departed brothers is held in
particular reverence by this organ
iztion, and the memorial services
are a part of Elkdom's tribute to
it's members who have passed on.
Simple but impressive services
were conducted by Exalted Ruler
Thurston and other officers of the
lodge, who were helped most kind
ly by chorus of ladies under the
direction of Mrs. H. B. Matthie
and by Mrs. Clyde Matthie, Rev.
VIM R. Hessell and Rev. E. H.
Hayden.
On all holidays on which the ma
ton pays reverence to its heroes
and traditions, the Elks, patriotic
organization, joins with others in
perpetuating the memories treasur-
ed by the United States, but on the
first Sunday in December the whole
family of B. P. o. e lodges pay
their own respects to all Elks, high
or low, who have crossed the
great divide.
Hymns of faith and old songs
of love and memory were offered
by the chorus, with a solo rend-
cred by Mrs. Clyde Matthei
The invocation was given by Rev.
Hayden, and the main address by
Rev. Hessell, who, taking the four
cardinal principles of the Elks
lodge as a basis for his talk, en-
larged on these principles as ap-
piled to everybody, everywhere.
Between selections of the pro-
gram, the officers, with the Exalted
Ruler, carried on the Memorial
Day ritual of the Elks. The roll
call of departed members of Wins
low lodge, was followed by short
address by Mr.. Thurston, who, in
the language of the ritul, deliver

death, and of brotherly love-

GOVERNOR HUNT W|THH0LDG
| COMMENT On NEGOTIATIONS
FOR COLORADO AGREEMENTS

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 9-Gov-
ernor Hunt had no comment to
make yesterday on negotiations
between Arizona and California,
over division of the water and pow
er of the Colorado, other than to
say that he had not followed their
progress closely because he pre-
ferred to await the final report of
his commission, to be rendered
some time before the Legislature
meets next month.
Cleve w. Van Dyke of Miami, is
chairman of the commission and
other members are: H. S. McClus-
key, Thomas Maddox, F. A. Reid,
and A G. McGregor.
Much interest was manifested at
the state capitol yesterday as to
whether President Coolidge in his
opening message to congress would
make any declaration of policy
with regard to the Swing-J Johnson
bill, pressed by California. Lead
ers will count themselves lucky,
an Associated Press dispatch said,
in summarizing the outlook for the
three months session, if they can
put through the temporary tax re-
duction bill, the rivers and harbors
measures and the dozen annual ap-
preparation bills necessary for the
conduct of government affairs dur
ing the next fiscal year.

1921, when the oil reserves poll

Navy and Interior Departments, it
was a personal transaction with
an old prospectOr friend.
His personal interest in the
Pearl Harbor Oil, which led to the
leasing of the Elkhills, Califor-

ference with a naval official which
convinced him the 'menance of
Japan" in the Pacific was in 1921,

Mrs. Doheny, earlier in the day,
had described her knowledge re-
garding the loan to Fall and pro-
duced the missing note signature

President Coolidge's name was
brought into the porceeding offer
ing evidence OF a letter DOheny

jury. The White House had never
replied to the communication.
1t was revealed for the first time
today that Fall had rendered
stocks valued at 5000, 900 to Do

loan, which he was unable to pay
up to that time.

STAGE PERMIT
TO THE GRAND
CANYON DENIED

The Arizona Corporation Com
mission denied the application of
Ed Hamilton for a certificate of
convenience and necessity author
izing the operation of freight and
passenger line between Williams
and Rowe. Well, serving the inter
mediate points of Anita and Grand
Canyon.
The granting of this application
was vigorously protested by the
Santa Fe and Fred Harvey.
In its opinion and order the
commission found that the pro-
posed stage line would serve
points now being adequately serv-
ed by the Santa Fe.
The commission stated that
aside from tourists to the Grand
Canyon driving their own machines
practically all visitors came in, on
Santa Fe trains to Williams. The
commission further stated that
while any additional service over
a given route is. an Improvement,
nevertheless the Arizona law re-
quires a showing of necessity in
addition to convenience and mas
much as it has ben the policy of
the commission not to authorize
the operation. Of more, than one
stage line over a given route.
where adequate service is being
maintained over the operating
line, it felt it was the duty Of the
commission to protect the Santa
Fe railway the same as it. does

ing air into the shaft, into the
wrecked area.
Rescue teams had to be changed
every fifteen minutes, this after
noon it was necessary to call for
volunteers.
The Federal Mine Inspecting Bu-
reau and other state officials
reached the scene about noon but
refused to make statement on
the cause of the explosion until
further study.
1t was believed at first the
blast was due to gas fumes, but
this was discredited by officials
and employees of the mine who said
it apparently was a dust explosion.
Rescue of workers was slowed
this afternoon on account of gas
formations. 1t was necessary to
block off sections of the mine
which were emitting foul air. There

Day Welded In Gallup

Holding prestige over the num-
eFous social events this week, and
one of interest to local people was
the wedding of Irene Hart and
Ewart Day, popular young couple
of this city, in Gallup on Sunday.
The ceremony was performed by
the Reverend William H. Elfing,
of the Congregational church, of
Gallup. The simple but beautiful

lasting friends, who are rejoicing

FUNERAL SERVICES
HELD MONDAY FOR
WINSLOW RESIDENT

Funeral services for Mrs. G. w.
Mehan, who died Saturday morning
at the Santa Fe hospital in Los
Angeles, following a major opera
tfoon, were held Monday at 1000
9. m. at st. JOseph's church, with
Reverend j. O. Barrette officiat-
ing. A number Of friends and re-
latives attended the last rites for
Mrs. Mehan, and followed the fun
eral cortege to the cemetery, where
he remains were inferred.
Mrs. Mehan, who was a native
of Albuuerque, New Mexico, came
here with Mr.. Mehan four years
ago from Los Angeles, where they
had been for some time. In the
four years of Mrs. Mehan's resi-
dence il Winslow she made many
friends who will mourn her pass
ing, for she was loved by all who
knew her.
AS owner of the Palace Hotel,
which she maintained during her
residence here, with the exception
of the last two months of her life,
Mrs, Mehan was constantly in
touch with many people, and her
disposition endeared her to all with
whom she came in contact.
In October Mrs. Mehan was fore
cd to give up her business, due to
i'll health, but her condition was
not considered serious until short
time ago, when she was taken to
the Los Angeles hospital of the
Santa Fe. There she rapidly be-
came worse, and an operation be-
came necessary. Worn by weeks
of i'll health, she was unable to re-
euperate from the effects of the
operation, and at $50 Saturday
morning she passed away.
Besides Mr.. Mehan, Mrs. Mehan
leaves behind four sisters and
brother. The sisters are Mrs. M.
j. Phares, Miss H. B. Dye and Miss
Julia Dye, all of Winslow, and Mrs.
Earl Weidinger of Clovis, New
Mexico. Mrs. Mehan's brother is
J. S. Dye, of WinsloW.
