FALLS CHURCH
MAN SHOOTS
HIMSELF

| His mind broken under the strain
of overwork, in which he had per-
sisted to realize his boyhood dreams
and life's ambition for a fine coun
try home for his parents, Grady
E. Cowgirl, SO, killed himself at his
home in West Falls Church, Va.
last night. He fired a shoi
through his head in his bedroom
as three policemen were preparing
to rush in to him and disarm him
The weapon was a .45-calibre re-
volver which he kept in a trunk
Although the bullet penetrated his
brain, Cowgirl lived for three hours,
according to DIR. C. A. Ransom,
coroner of Fairfax county.
Cowgirl, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Alexander C. Cowgirl, came to West
Falls Church from Romney, West
Virginia, six years ago with a
modest capital but fired by great
ambition.
For fifteen years he had been
Postal service. He had the run be-
tween Washington and Pittsburgh,
which he still had at the time Of
his death. His duties were many
and the work onerous; the hours
were trying.
Worked on His Farm
Nevertheless, in spare moments
the then 3O-year-old postal clerk
found time to put in a great deal
OF labor in the 25-acre farm which
he bought at West Falls Church.
After a year or two, he had
worked the once virtually barren
farmland into a well.stocked area
Of orchards and truck-gardens. His
next move was to send for his
elderly parents, for it was a part
of his dream that they, too, should
share in his material welfare.
His plans included erection, of a
fine country home which was to
supplant the building which now
stands on the property. All that
time he was still performing his
duties as postal clerk.
The strain was too much. Rala-
tives and friends advised him to
ease up. He refused, however. say
ing that he must go on with his
plans. The inevitable occurred-a
nervous breakdown.
0Chb W EAAAkoA
Six weeks ago he had to take
a rest from his labors. He was
sent to Takoma Park Sanitarium.
He returned home Tuesday even
ing, apparently much improved.
Great hope was held out for his
recovery until suddenly, last night,
he became violently hysterical.
Fearing for his safety, a call was
sent to Deputy Sheriff John Dow
den, who arrived at the home in
few minutes, accompanied by
Policemen Amos Rusk and Charles
A. Whelan, jr. They were about
to rush upstairs when a shot was
heard. On entering the room Of
young Cowgirl they found him ly-
ing on the floor, dead, a bullet
wound in his head.
In addition to his parents, he is
survived by a brother. James L.
Cowgirl, who lives with his wife or
an adjoining farm; another brother.

AN UNFILMED GOTEARIO
Bill Price had a little goat,
Its hair was white as wool.
Bill fed IL contributions
But could never get IL full.
It followed Bill down to the beach
And made the people smile.
One goat among SO many calves
Seemed sadly out Of style.
1t pinned for contributions;
And 1t did not like its diet.
30 Bill tried walking out with h
To try to keep 1t quiet.
1t spied the cast-off fIappers' hose,
StFewn all along the beach.
IT ate them all and grabbed for all
That came within Its reach.
It grabbed q fappeF's FOII-tOp
And tore it TO her shoe
And while II got a mOuthfuI

Now when this rhyme is pictuFeized
And shown upon the screen,
My critics then may realize
More clearly what I mean.

OLD CANAL BUILDERS BE-
ING DUG UP AT PHOENIX

Two more skeletons believed to be
the remains of prehistoric inhabitants
of the valley were removed from the
Phoenix ruins known as La Cuidad on
the eastern edge of Phoenix last Fri
day by Erick Schmidt of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History of
New York city and the crew of work
men assisting him. The ruins are To-
Gated north Of East Van Buren street
and a few hundred yards east OF
Sixteenth street.
The first skeleton was found Friday
and removed from the ruins. All day
Saturday, crowds of visitors from all
parts Cf the valley visited the ruins,
attracted by the news that a skeleton
had been found.
The two skeletons removed Satur-
day were found on the east slope of
the largest mound in LA Cuidad," F"
while the one found on Friday was
uncovered near the top of the mound.
All of the skeletons are said by sclen-
lists to be about 1000 years old.
Unlike the one found on Friday, the
two skeletons found Saturday were
badly disintegrated by the elements
and could not be taken from their
graves intact. With the exception of
the bone joints, which were badly
disintegrated, the first skeleton found,
was in good condition, although the
bones were yellowed with age.

INTEREST in METEOR
AGAIN WIDESPREAD

The feature article hounds of some
of the sensational papers have decid-
ed the scientific question of the Me
teor crater near Winslow They ap-
pear also to have settled all the
doubts that have arisen in the minds
of experienced mining men and drill
ers during two or three decades Of
conscientious exploration of that re-
markable depression.
The Journal-M Miner several years
ago projected the probable truth OF
the matter into then current discus
sion. 1t was the opinion Of a scientist
of unquestionable ability that if a
meteor of the size required to tear
such a hole in the eaTth's crust had
struck northern Arizona, it would
have dissipated in vapor by the heat
of the impact, and only very small
fragments could have escaped the
general destruction.
If that is true, and the charcaT are
in favor of it, there is no use cling
any more And if it is not liz and
there is imbedded in the strata Of
rocks a huge mass Of meteoric iron,
the diggers who find it will have a
hard time getting any appreciabie
quantity out without using acetylene
torches or other expensive devices to
break the "ore" into movable pieces.
We differ somewhat with the OPEN
ions of. the Verde Copper News on
this subject, but its recent article is
Of interest:
For some reason not we'll under
stood, Arizona's Meteor mountain IS
receiving more publicity at this time
than ever before in its half of a CEN
tury or more of history. The big
metropolitan papers are carrying
stories purporting to give some facts
about the mountain-and 1T goes
without saying that most of them are
wrong The Chicago Herald and
Examiner carried, last week, a special
article with drawing showing a
meteor 'seven times the size of the
Woolworth building" hitting the earth.
Meteor mountain is one of the un-
solved problems Of the southwest and
/ it is possible that the mystery may
receive its final solution early in the
coming year, for strong company
has been formed to make thorough
exploration of the property and work
will begin early in the coming sum-
ner.
Meteor mountain hes between
Flagstaff and Winslow, alongside
Canyon Diablo, and it is one of the
national curiosities of the world. The
facts may be summed up briefly as
| follows-that IS the facts that are
absolutely known at this time: All
along the upper reaches of Canyon
Diablo, there was a deposit of un-
doubted meteorites, specimens OF
which are in almost every museum OF
Importance in the world; SO far as
can be determined this is, or was the
greatest occurrence of meteorites in
the worlds history. Iron and nickel
were the principal content, as is the
case with all metallic meteors, and
there are specimens still in the state
that are of high value and great IN
terest. Microscopic diamonds are
found in practically every case

SKULL FOUND IDENTIFIED
AS THAT OF TEXAN

That the skull found in the western
White Tank mountains, northwest OF
Buckeye, is that of J. j. knight is de-
clared by v. T. Bledsoe, a local de-
tective who worked on the case Of the
missing Texan in 1921 and later.
Double bridge work in gold on the
law corresponds with a dental chart
received by Bledsoe, from Dallas, a
wear ago. The sheriff's office states
that Identification appears to have
been made, but is awaiting adyices
from Dallas with regard to the dental
work
Whether Knight left his stranded
car in the sand at the Hassayampa
crossing and wandered in darkness
into the desert mountains, there to die
Of thirst, or whether he was murdered
and his body carried about 10 miles
cannot be determined with the ev1-
dence at hand.

OUTLOOK BRIGHT FOR 1926
JAYS THE SANTA FE CHIEF

The Santa Fe railroad believes the
year 1926 will be prosperous, with
heavy demands for transportation
service. 1t therefore has decided upon
a budget of $6O,000,0 900 in betterments
and additional locomotives, freight
and refrigerator cars and other
equipment for the coming twelve
months.
This was announced by President
w. B. Storey. The official then
declared that California had pro-
duced the greatest tonnage in agri-
cultural products the past year, and
due to the facilities provided over a
period of several years, the Santa Re
had been able to take care of its share
of the big perishable traffic with per-
feet ease.
"The business conditions the coun-
try over are very bright" said the
president, and | look for another
good year The Pacific coast states
have reached a., very prosperous and
stable condition and the good times
should continue, The Santa Fe was
able to take up some Of the slack due
to short grain yields in some of the
middle western states and reduced
cotton production in Texas by reason
Of the big production in California.
That is the advantage our system has
1t never happens that all the states
we traverse have bad years at any
one season."
California and the other coast
states will benefit directly from the
companys vast expenditures during
the year in the way OF improvements,
the items of which will be announced
soon after the first Of the year, it was
stated.
