LEFT HIS FAMILY; IN JAIL

Undersheriff Durward Mckinney
and City Marshall Justin r. Cooper
accompanied by Mrs. Mckinney re-
turned Monday from Florence where
they left Andy Duthie, sent to the
penitentiary for disorderly conduct
while on parole under a former sus-
pended sentence for manslaughter.
On their return they picked up
Raphael Baldez on a warrant for
wife abandonment. Joe Montoya,
sheepman at Hot Springs, told them
where they could find their man and
they apprehended him 18 miles from
Peoria working on a ranch. He had
left his wife and three children here
without funds or food to keep them
from starvation. Sheriff Parsons
found them in pitiable condition
and gave them temporary help.

WELCOME RAINS HIT HERE
USUAL YARNS ABOUT SNOW

Gentle rains that began the latter
part of this week and continued at
intervals during the early part Of
this week. with an occasional brief
furry of wet snow, did a vast
amount of good to the ranges and
farms in this section and put every
one in good humor.
We can stand a lot more such wea-
ther, as more will be needed to over
come the effects Of the long drouth;
but what we have had helps and indi-
cations are there'l soon be more.
There are, as usual, wild stories
afloat about the amount of snow
here. The Prescott Courier on Tues
day announced that it had been "un-
officially" informed that we have
four feet. At that moment there was
none. The highway east and west is
in good condition, though the storm
practically isolated Prescott, as the
detour north of that town is practi-
cally impossible and washouts oc-
Cured south.
The Maine-Grand Canyon road had
about three inches of snow the first
of the week-about the same as Fort
Valley-and it would be wise to have
chains before attempting to make
that trip.
Weekly road reports are being sent
out by the local Chamber to over sixty
organizations in the southwest and
contain reports on all the main trav-
elled highways in this section. In
case of radical changes during the
week, emergency reports are sent to
the most strategic points by wire and
written mailed reports follow to all
points on the same day. In this way,
it is hoped that all points may be adj
vised correctly every week as to the
road conditions in northern Arizona.
These reports are labeled, "Official
Road Report, Flagstaff Chamber of
Commerce, Issued Every Saturday.
Please Post"
Semi-monthly road reports are re-
ceived by the Chamber of Commerce
from the Automobile club of South
ern California, Panhandle Automo-
bile club, Amarillo, Texas; Automo-
bile club of Arizona and American
Automobile association of Washing
ton, d. c.. Anyone desiring road in
formation may secure same from the
Chamber office.
Telegraphic advices Wednesday
from Amarillo report hard rains and
very heavy roads in the Texas Pan
handle.

UNIVERSITY GLEE CLUB
APPRECIATED AT H. S.

The Mems Glee club from the Uni
versity of Arizona presented a de-
lightful program at the high school
Friday evening.
The first half of the program was
variety of songs. The one-act play,
"a Marriage Has Been Arranged"
given by Marjorie Slough, pianist
and John Anderson showed dramatic
ability. The last half of the program
consisted of old songs.
Clever readings by Russell Meeker
and the solos by Sam Bradford were
especially appreciated.
The program was sponsored by the
seniors and the success of the affair
was largely due to their efforts in
advertising it.
Flagstaff appreciates the oppor-
tunity of hearing the representatives
of the State university and hopes to
be included in its next trip.
Dean Cooper, who accompanied the
Glee club addressed the students of
the high school in the afternoon. They
had been looking forward to this
address and they were not disap-
something inspiring to give her au-
dience and her talk Friday was a real
treat.

Ray Simpsons Home
Is Practically Done

Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Simpson will be
in their new home at the end of East
Dale avenue, comfortably settled
within day or SO. Contractor Pete
Solberg has had interior finishers at
work nights for long time now and
the work is practically done, though
there remain some finishing touches
to take care of after the owners are
in.
This new residence is one of the
handsomest, inside and out, in Flag
staff. The Sun doesn't know what it
cost but ventures to estimate at least
$4,000. The big retaining walls in
front and at the sides, transforming
the decided slope at that point to
level lawn add to the attractiveness
of the place, as does also the big
garage at the rear, built in a style
to harmonic with the house and part
of the approach to which is covered
to give protected access from the
house.

FIRE DESTROYED MULNIX
AUTO WRECKING BUILDING

Fire that broke out at quarter
to eight last evening destroyed the
old Henry Heller building at 120 East
Aspen avenue, between the Flagstaff
Motor Co. and the Flagstaff Under
taking Co. buildings.
The building was occupied by Wal
ter Mutnix as an automobile wreck
ing shop and was filled with old cars
and big stock of parts. To the lat
ter the damage was probably not
great. The iron sheathing of Pix
ington and Leamon's Flagstaff Motor
Co. building protected that and the
Flagstaff Undertaking parlors, being
of brick were in only Slight danger.
One safeguard against the fire
spreading was that the building in
which it occurred was sheathed and
rooted with galvanized iron, which
kept the flames pretty much inside;
and prompt and effective work by the
city fire department did the rest.
The cause of the fire is unknown.

Spedrnaan Has Bdbbitt
Beach at Mormon Lake

E. Spearman, who for the last five
years had been connected with the
management of Montezuma Lodge at
Mormon lake, has leased Babbitt's
Beach at the lake and he and his wife
have taken charge.
Mr.. Spearman has changed the
name to Spring Beach. He is begin
ming a new wrinkle at this popular
resort-keeping his place open the
year around. This because he be-
lieves there are winter attractions st
Mormon lake that will induce some
to stay there and also to give service
from his store to people in that Sec
ton. He is planning numerous inn
provements which will help attract
even greater crowds to Arizona's
greatest and most popular summer
resort.
/. H. Swisher will be back at Mon
tezuma in the spring. He is spend
ing the winter in Kentucky.

BLESSING OF THE BELL
NEW MEXICAN CHURCH

The blessing of the bell, solemn
rite, was celebrated last Sunday at
the new house Of worship nearing
completion where Spanish speaking
members of the Catholic church will
hear services in their own tongue.
The church will be blessed next Sun
day morning at 9:15 when the altar
will be in place. There will be for
NAL ceremony later on when Bishop
Daniel j. Gercke will be here for the
final dedication.
The bell hanging from its supports
in the center of the church was deco
rated for the occasion with pink and
white crepe streamers. Rev. FIR. AL
bouy read the rite of the solemn bles-
sing of the bell when upon it was be-
slowed the name of La Guadalupana,
after which it received the blessing.
The choir sang several hymns and
the sponsors passed it, each giving it
a christening tap. These were the
sponsors: Mr. and Mrs T. Martinez,
Mr.. and Mrs. Leo Garcia, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Lucero, Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Mondragon, Mr.. and Mrs. Ramon
Salazar, the Misses Mella Garcia,

Nothing The Matter
With Uncle Jim Only
He Must Eat Less

Uncle Jim Lamport stepped off a
west-bound train Tuesday morning,
back from the Mayo hospital at Roch-
ester, Mimi, where they took infer
nal pictures of him and cast him out
with the advice that if he'll diet a
while and not think his digestion is
as young as baby's and as tough as
an ostrich's or goats he'll keep on
for years yet firing out any man who
tries to follow him through the
woods
Last winter he pulled his Dodge
roadster off the jack onto himself
and lit doubled him up into a pretty
compact bundle, breaking some ribs
that were in the way and hurting
his spine. The latter injury was
what he thought kept him from sleep
ing nights and made him get up and
walk around to restore circulation.
But it seems not. However, the sur
geons found two vertebrae had been
crushed in the accident, and they fix
ed him up a steel and leather harness
which ne is wearing.
Uncle jim expected to visit his
old home in Wisconsin and take a
few weeks in Minnesota during the
rest of the winter; but the call of
the west was too strong and he hur-
ried back.

C.. of c. Plan Big
Banquet NeW Hotel

The last meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce prior to the annual
meeting will be Tuesday night, De-
cember ID, in the Woman's club, when
President p j. Moran will appoint a
nominating committee to suggest can
didates for the offices of the Cham
Der for 1927.
Other matters to be taken up at
this next meeting have to do with
the plans for the national and state
campaign for the tuberculosis sana-
torium in this city, and the annual
meeting and banquet to be held in
the Hotel Monte Vista during the
month of January. This annual ban
quet is to be thrown open to all mem
bers and their families and friends
and will be one of the most outstand-
ing and novel events on the civic cal
endar Special entertainment fea-
lures as well as installation of Off
GERS will be included in the program.
This will be the first large affair Of
this kind to be given in the new hotel
and it is expected that it will surpass
anything in Chamber of Commerce
circles in the past.
All members of the chamber are
urged to be present at this next and
last meeting of the year.

NeIC Clock absolutely
Refuses To Stop Work

Turn it upside down, lay it on its
face, then stand it right side up again
and 1t resumes it's work, which it is
guaranteed to continue for 10 years
without winding, oiling or cleaning.
This new electromagnetic regen-
Grating clock, about which columns
have been written in newspapers and
scientific magazines, is on display at
the Schmidt Jewelry Co. store.
1t is a handsome mantel clock and
comes as near the perpetual motion
idea as any piece of machinery ever
did. Stop it, and it starts right off
again. Another feature is that it is
noiseless. Joe Schmidt has the agen-
cy and is selling it for Christmas
gifts along with the Seth Thomas
line of clocks. On thsesale of the lat
ter he this year has topped every
ether agency in this state.

LOCAL MEN ARRESTED
ACCUSED OF HOLD UP
COTTONWOOD DRUGGIST

Two Young men of this county,
charged with holding up and robbing
the Cottonwood Drug Co. at Cotton
wood Wednesday night of last week,
were arrested in the Sultana pool hall
at Williams Friday night by Deputies
Art Vandevier and Johnny Hoff-
man of Flagstaff and the Williams
officers.
The men are Roy Perry Of Gar
land Prairie and Sam Johnson of Red
Lake. Perry had been in trouble be-
fore.
An officer from Yavapai county
took the men back to Jail at Prescott
on Saturday.
The two men came to Flagstaff the
day of the robbery in stripped down
Ford. The next night they were back
in Williams. The proprietor of the
drug store identified the two men.
He said Johnson lured him into the
rear of the store and pulling gun
on him forced him to open the safe
and give him little over 500. Per-
ry, he said, remained in the front Of
the store on guard.
Mr.. Norris, the proprietor, says
both men were dressed as cowboys.
He saws he offered the man who held
him up all of the days receipts, but
the latter said, ooh, keep the small
stuff; you'll probably need it to eat
on"
