Morgan and other officers were
coming down Duval street in mule
blackboard wagon, and when they
cot to the corner of Duval and
Greene streets, the mule took
fright, at the noise of the kites
above his head, and ran into the
hitching post on the corner where
the Victoria Restaurant is located
now, capsized and threw the Off
GERS out into the street. Old Nor
gan was so incensed at the way
his ride terminated, that he sent
down squad of soldiers, and
locked us up in the old Sweat BOX,
located at the foot of Duval street,
all night. In the party were
George and Henry Curry, Frank
Lester, Duncan Cameron, Jim
Walker, Chas. Pierce, Seferino
and Joseph Almeda, Chas. Rich
ardson, p. T. Knight, Billy Cor
don, Calvin Parks, VIM. II. Will
liams, Buddy Hertell. The next
morning we were taken before
Colonel Patterson, who was the
Civil Magistrate" of the city. He
informed our parents that he
would have to fine each of the
boys $500 in order to appease
Morgan, but told them he would
return it. Out of all of the mem
hers of the three clubs, l05 in all,
there are but few left: Geo. b.
Patterson, Frank Maloney, E. o.
Locke of the Seminoles, Edwin and
Salisbury Hicks now residing in
Worcester, Mass, and Fernando
Roberts are all that is left of the
Island Cities. DR.. Frank Lester,
residing in Colorado Springs, VIM.
Solomon and Lopez, Johnson and
myself are the remnants of the
Ocean Stars. w. D. Cash, the
oldest member in the three clubs
was the last to depart. He was
in his s7th year. Some of the
present generation who are over
60 years and may have some reeol-
lection of us, viii at times stop
and think and give US a passing
thought:
When memory's bells chime soft
and low
Thoughts OF by-gone hours;
And reeollections seem as sweet.
As incense crushed from
Flowers"
When old familiar faces come.
With purest pleasures fraught.
May ours among the rest receive.
The tribute of Thought"

covering last longer and reduce
the sound of footsteps; they pro-

make homes more sani-

and sells 100 for five cents.

ARIZONA NO LONGER
HAS RAILWAY TRAINS

Another colorful chapter in the
railroad history of the southwest will
be written this week when passenger
trains cease to operate into the COM
munity which approximately AS years
ago gave birth to what became the
Ell Paso and Southwestern railroad
system, embracing over a thousand
miles of track.
The last train will operate over the
eight miles between Bisbee and the
main line junction next Saturday
night. Then the coaches and other
equipment will be hauled away, to be
replaced Sunday by an automobile
stage under the operation Of C. D.
Beeth of Douglas, Ariz., who was an
assistant superintendent for the rail-
road company.
Decision to replace the branch line
with. bus line was reached after
several conferences between the
Chamber Of Commerce and officials
of the Southern Pacific system, of
which the old Ell Paso and Southwest
ern is now a part.

WILL SURFACE HIGHWAY FROM
WINSLOW TO CANYON PADRE

w. r. Hutchins, division engineer
for District No. 5, Arizona State
Highway department, arrived in Hol-
brook from Phoenix Wednesday. In
speaking of road matters under way,
Mr.. Hutchins said that it was the ul
innate intention Of putting several
inches of surfacing on the roadway
from WinsloN west for 16 miles to
Canyon Padre. At present they are
going to place two inches on this por-
ton of the road in order to make it
passable for traffic. Later, when ar
rangements for finances could be
made, it was intended to finish the
road up completely This will make
the road west from Winslow in good
shape. They will soon start to build
the road from Canyon Padre to Can
yon Diablo. The department has en-
larged the maintenance crew from
Winslow to Canyon Diablo to better
care for the road.-Holbrook Tribune.

ELDEN PUEBLO

The pyramids of far off Egypt,
Pisa's worn and staggering tower,
Mystic gold of old Cibola-
All were forgotten in the hour
saw this ruined, ancient power.
Grimly forsaken to the dead,
Your city stands, broken and cold,
with crumpled walls and sunken
graves,
Sadly forgotten | am told
Save for legend very old.
Would that you could tell your story,
You who watch this new world pass
by.
What old mysteries would you tell
To US who stand and softly sigh
With heads uncovered meath the sky T
Lying in the mountains shadow
Over which your people used to roam;
Sleeping, they roam no more but stay
Here in the dusty catacomb
That they so long ago called home.

che chief, in the last battle before his
capture by General Miles, fell in love
with Flagstaff and in the following
gives an idea why:
Floating around in the middle of
the great nebula which embraces just
about all the good and bad awaiting
the genus homo of this choice selec-
tion of terra firma is where old ma
ture's architect built up, among other
tall and good things, a flag pole upon
which to hang a most wonderful col
lection of valleys and mountains with
a richness equal to the hidden treas
ures of the tabled lost Atlantis.
High up near the top of the notch
of this flagstaff Of creation and just
under the rim of peak of crags and
many other indescribable and unbe-
lievable collections of hills which lay
stacked upon another stack of hills
is located a spot which placed the.
transcontinental highway of America
on the map to stay there until old
Gabriel sounds the bugle note taps"
on the end of time.
Being that the city of Flagstaff is
occupying front seat on the apex of
the world and is little bit chesty
regarding her balsamized ozone from
the ever-nodding pines which grow
tall upon tall mountains where aeol-
ian zeyphers play hide and seek amid
snow-capped peaks, and at a time
when birthstone gasses are bubbling
and gurgling in double time on lower
slopes, the citizens of this apex, bles-
sed section of peace, plenty and song,
celebrated Americas Independence
day, July A, 1926, A. D., by looping
off from the calendar of time four
full and round days of As hours each,
with which to put the proper trim-
mings on the festivities pertaining OF
and to their views on this august oc-
casion.
SIN comparison to and with other
tall and big things in, on, of and adj
iacent to this Flag peak city, the
spirit of '76, 1872, and 40 was hung
out on the uttermost pinnacles of this
city of the crags, during the celebra-
ton, by yelling, shooting, fiddlin' and
dancing; and just because this city IS
located in Coconino county, the read
er is not to infer that Coca Cola was
a ldSlllOIdDl6 llIuiu 4SAISpiiA'SAio
among all of the other good things on
top as a peace and goodwill offering.
"But last and biggest of all the big
things offered by creations Flagstaff
city was the spirit of camadarie,
which like the flag of America, and
the latch-string of the old home cab
in, was hung on the outside to feed
and thrill nonforgettable and old
wine glory in memory's halls for the
men, the ladies, the babies, the kids,
freckled and all, as well as the dogs
of this tall pine, music, song, peace
sweet city, where the wine of the air
from your peaks and crags, floats
sweet, pure, cool and free; where
mountains tall, like soldiers, stand to
guard eternity.
Here's to yuh, folks, may you live
long and prosper. May your smiles
and your hearts ever retain the linn
pid pureness of the cool breezes which
kiss your tall and prolific hills.

MOHAYE SHERIFF FINDS
4 MYSTERY AUTO

Sheriff w. P. Mahoney this week
located an abandoned Ford touring
car a mile and a half from Topock
on an untraveled road running para
lell to the National Old Trails high
way. In the car were several articles
of clothing which were blood stained
and led the sheriff to believe that
there had been foul play in disposing
of the driver of the car.
The sheriff Immediately put Indian
trailers on the job in an effort to
find a possible body disposed OF IN
the near vicinity of the derelict car.
The car was registered from Strath-
more, Calf, and Mahoney IS now
waiting wires from that place to de-
termine the name Of the owner of the
car.
Complete mystery enshrouds the
evidence of foul play and as the blood
stains we're very evidently not fresh,
the sheriff and his office is working
under a big handicap in locating the
owner of the car and the reason for
the blood stains on clothing left in the
vehicle.-Kingman Miner.

BRIBERY TALES IN
 PROHIBITION CASE
Testimony Shows Former Agent
 Accepted Much Money

Charleston, g. C.. Oct. t3 LP) - . Into the notorious Hell Hole swamp section of Berkley county, haunt of bootleggers, the trail of testi- mony continued to lead today at the trial of Alonzo B. Seabrook, suspended federal prohibition agent who is charged with con- spring against the dry laws.
 At the opening of the trial, Glenn D. Mcknight, former ''moon- shiner' and now a federal prolli- bition agent, testified yesterday that Seabrook had accepted bribes totalling as high as s1,o0O a month to warn him and other still opera tors in the Cordville section 1e hours In advance of any proposed raids by federal agents.
 One of his stills, Mcknight tes- tif1ed, remained in the same spot without being disturbed by officers for 14 months. It had a capacity of 1000 gallons a month.
 Mcknight, acting as an Under cover" man for NJ. o. Cunning, prohibition coordinator for the southeast, testified that he had as- sisted in the preparations for the wholesale raids in the Hell Hole section in September, when Sea brook was arrested.
 J. E. Hill, another former 'moonshiner," now working with Coordinator Cunning as federal prohibition agent, testified that he also had sent Seabrook money for protection" Manning Carter, d third federal agent. corroborated Mcknight's statements regarding the payments to Seabrook, saving that he had been present several times when these were made.
 It was disclosed by W. Turner Logan of defense counsel that q warrant had been issued on sep- temoer 23, charging Mcknight with violation of the Mann act, but that 1t never had been served. Lo- gan charged that United States District Attorney J. D. E. Meyer had promised Mcknight that it would not be served if he would testify against Seabrook, but Judge Ernest F. Cochran ruled that this warrant had no bearing on the present trial.
