Candidate For
Educational Post
Visits WinsloW

Mingling praise for Winslow's s
climate with a statement of his
qualifications for office, A. L. Jones
of Phoenix, candidate for the office
of state superintendent of public
instruction, was here Monday in the
interests of his campaign. Mr..
Jones having but recently left the
high temperature zone ir the Salt
River Valley, was all the more ap-
preciative of the cool weather en-
countered in the northern. part of
the state.
Jones campaign literature re-
veals the fact that he is probably
more typically an Arizonan than
any candidate seeking office this
year, for not only was he born in
this state, but all his education and
training have taken place in Ari-
zona schools.
He is at present serving his third
term as superintendent of schools
in Maricopa county, after years
spent as an educator and super
visor in various communities in the
state. He is at present member
of the state board of education, and
knows Arizona schools from the
one-room rural schools that are
passing out of existence, to the
modern schools of the largest city
in Arizona.

STATE BANK EXAMINER GETS JUDGMENT
AGAINST T. M. OUEBEDEAUX ON AZTEC
SHEEP CASE RESULT OF BANK FAIL URE

for the lambs placed in the First
National Bank of Holbrook, Ari-
zona, until the re-delivery bond
was furnished. The lambs were
then delivered to Louis Ilfield
Company, and the sum of little
over $18,000.00 was deposited in
First National Bank of Holbrook,
Arizona, and after the bond was
furnished by Mr.. Quebedeaux, this
sum of $18,00000 was drawn out
by the personal check of Mr.. T. M.
Quebedeaux, the check being in
troduced in evidence, showing the
manner of the withdrawal.
Not In Banks Name.
Mr.. A. G. Aldrich, of Gallup, New
Mexico, testified that in 1920, he
helped Mr.. Quebedeaux recover the
sheep from Colorado, and that af-
ter the sheep were returned to
Navajo county, he made contract
with Sam Bushman to run the
sheep, and that Mr. Bushman i'm
mediately transferred his interests
to Mr.. Quebedeaux, and that Mr..
Aldrich made another contract with
Mr.. Quebedeaux, and that in none
of these transactions did the name
of the Arizona State Bank appear
as the owner of the sheep.
Denies Ownership.
Mr.. Quebedeaux testified that he
was not the owner Of the sheep and
never had been the owner of the
sheep, but made no explanation as
to what was done with the $20,000.-
90 received from the sale of the
lambs. He claimed that he had
told the officers of The Bank of
Winslow that the Arizona State
Bank owned the sheep, and Mr.. B.
B. Neel also testified that while he
was an officer of the bank, Mr..
Quebedeaux told him that the Ari-
zona State Bank was the owner OF
the sheep.
Some papers were also introduce
ed in evidence to show that the Ar
izona State Bank attempted to get
a loan on these sheep from the
War Finance Corporation, but the
loan was never compl eted.
After all the evidence was sub
mitted to the jury, the jury return
ed verdict in favor of Mr. Ham
mons for the full sum sued upon.
which together with interest and
costs will amount to approximately
$45, 100000.
Mr.. Hammons was represented in
this suit by Sidney Sapp and D. E..
Mclaughlin, of Holbrook, and Mr.
Quebedeaux was represented by c.
B. Wilson, of Flagstaff, Mr.. c. H.
Jordan, of Holbrook, and Mr.. Jo-
seph Morgan, of Prescott
The attorneys for the defendant,
Mr. Quebedeaux, state that they in
tend to appeal the case to the Cir
cult Court of Appeals.
