PETE LINDEMANN OUT
FOR SUPERVISOR JOB

Peter J. Lindemann in this weeks
Sun makes formal announcement of
his candidacy, subject to the demo-
cratic primaries, for supervisor from
District No. 2.
Pete was several weeks deciding
whether to enter the race, and is
largely influenced by the wishes and
insistence Of many of his friends, who
have every reason to believe that he
will, if elected, make good man on
that important job.
Pete came here 16 years ago to
work for the Flagstaff Lumber Co.
as mill foreman and millwright. He
had been in similar work in New
Mexico and was brought here because
of his ability. He had married in
that state and he and his wife have
two fine boys.
Pete worked in the above-men-
toned capacity for the Flagstaff
Lumber Co. for nine and a half
years, then started out on his own as
carpenter and builder. He owns two
homes besides the one in which he
and his family live. He believes in
/ and boosts for Flagstaff. He has al
ways been on the side of progress
He is popular and respected because
he is the kind of fellow who easily
wins and holds popularity and re-
spect, which means that he is hon
est, reliable, friendly and square. If
elected he will serve efficiently, keep
ing both eyes and mind on trying to
get a full dollars worth for every
dollar of the county money spent; at
the same time, deeply interested in
the welfare of our schools and in i'm
proving our roads.

BISBEE MAN is CHARGED
WITH KILLING WIFE

Mrs. Evana Janovich, pretty "a
year-old matron was slain at $40
o'clock Thursday night when her
throat was slashed with pocket
knife, following a scuffle among d
clump of bushes between the Warren
highway and the Southern Pacific
tracks, $50 yards northeast of the
Standard Oil company plant in Co
chise. George Janovich, her husband.
Serbian, was taken into custody in
connection with the killing after he
had appeared at the American Cash
grocery store in Cochise and told B.
Porobich, the proprietor, and others
in the store that he had just killed
his wife. On his face we're a few
blood stains, and he was hatless, but
his demeanor was exceedingly calm
and he took Porobich and the group
The Coconino sun., 1926-07-02

of men in the store to the spot where
the body of his wife lay.
Her face and hair were covered
with blood and her throat slashed,
apparently with a pocket knife, which
lay few feet from the body. The
ground showed evidence of spirited
struggle before the Staying took
place.
Mystery surrounds the cause of the
killing and although marital difficult
ties are blamed by officers for the
act, friends of the young couple tes-
titled that they had never known the
Janoviches to quarrel.

stefan recognized Doctor Longs claim
to the honor.
Doctor Long was the son of James
and Elizabeth Ware Long, and was
born In Danielsville. Ca, November 1,
1915. He was graduated from Frank
lin college, now the University Of
Georgia, in 1885, standing second in
his class, and went from there to the
University of Pennsylvania, to study
medicine He was graduated from
that university In 1889 and for year
was employed In New York hospital
This work did not appeal to him and
he returned to Georgia to take up the
practice Of medicine. He settled In
Jefferson, Jackson county.
After he began the practice of medl-

frolics." They would inhale nitrous
oxide gas and while under its infiu-
ence do many ridiculous things. These
parties became quite a fad Doctor
Long wished to encourage his young
friends in their fun, but he found It
difficult to supply them with sufficient
nitrous oxide to meet their demands.
With the inadequate laboratory equip
ment he possessed he found 1t impos-
sible to prepare this element in guam
titles.
So he permitted them to use sui
phuric ether, and "ether parties be-
came the rage In the winter of 1841-42.
The young doctor observed that ether
seemed to make those who partook Of

frolic a youth slipped and fell. He
dislocated his ankle, but suffered no
pain. Then the young practitioner
concluded that If ether inhaled in fun
could make person oblivious to pain,
it could be employed in a Scientific
way to stop pain in operations.
Among the young men of Doctor
Longs acquaintance was James M.
Venable, who suffered from tumors in
his neck. Doctor Long suggested he
could put him under the influence Of
suIphuric ether and remove the tumors
without pain. The young patient was

Two Pitching Stars Are
Nearly 40 Years Of Age

Walter Johnson of the Washington
Americans and Grover Alexander of

In their respective major leagues,
this year celebrate their thirty-ninth
birthday anniversaries
Johnson, who has been member
of the champions since 1907, was born
in Humboldt, Kan, November 6, 1887
He came direct to Washington from
the semipro ranks and has partici-
pated in 751 major league games, hav-
ing scored 394 victories. He was the
third best American league pitcher
last year in point of effectiveness and
holds the strikeout record with a
total of 1924.
Alexander, a native of st. Paul,
Neb, made his first major league ap-
pearance with the Phillies in 1911

club, the Cubs, in 1918. He has
pitched in 564 contests. of which he
has won 315. Alexander was born

southpaw Is six feet tall. He is as

rability and capacity for work.

but they don't.
PennOck can stand a lot Of work.
His whole career tells that. He start
ed in the big league in 1912. and here
he is 13 years later, as good as ever
and with the best season he ever had
only year behind him. He came
back quickly from that thinning game
"a shut-out, mind you-and games of
that length or over are a strain on
pitcher to which none, no matter how
rugged, should ever be subjected.
Twelve innings are enough to allow
any pitcher to go. Nearly always the
after affects of the abnormally long
games are bad. and long to get over.
Pennock is of wiry toughness. He
has slim arms, slim legs. is below
weight. He reaches 1874 at his heav-
lest Being below weight is hardly an
ideal condition and Pennock has not
stamina to go long routes. Rather
would it be his GOODNESS, his easy de-
livery, his intelligence, that tells him
how to save himself. He doesn't work
any harder than he has to. He con-
serves himself. No more wear and
tear than is necessary. He has long,
pliable muscles, the kind Jim Corbett
used to have, though not as firm.
In the box Pennock is study in
conservation, picture of grace, alert
and understanding, with splendid con-
troll and unruffied in tight places. AS
a masterful workman. as sedative for
the excitable. and as slayer for his
apparently frail physique, he is one Of
the pitching wonders of his time.
