CAR ROBBER FAILED TO
GET SPECIAL CONSIDERATION

Manuel Flores, Williams box-car
robber, caught at Seligman by Spe-
cial Officer Charlie Murray of the
Santa Fe, returned to Jail here, then
escaping and captured again at Selig-
man, was taken before Judge j. r..
Jones in superior court the last Of
last week, and, though he previously
had admitted his guilt to Justice of
Peace George McDougall, refused to
continue with his plea of guilt un-
less given assurance that the charge
would be dropped and he be permit
ted to go back to the state peniten-
tiary at Florence and serve the three
year balance of his term there, inter
rupted few months ago when he was
paroled.
Judge Jones wouldn't make any
such deal with the prisoner, and he'll
90 to trial, unless in the meantime
he renews his plea of guilt.
Flores confederate in the box-car
robbery, Jose Moya, plead guilty and
Judge Jones gave him from three to
-four years in the penitentiary.
The Coconino sun., 1926-01-15

For some. thirty years we have heard the
statement that there's nuthin' t make
Flagstaff grow" Flagstaff has never had
boom and has never attempted to inclte one.
Being somewhat off the main waterways
even the friends of the town have never IN
sisted that it would become a second New
York However, in spite of our best pessi-
mists, Flagstaff has made a steady growth
right along each year. Despite the fact that
we old-timers felt we had found q mighty
fine place to "hide out" outsiders have
crowded in unsolicited. They bought prop
erty at prices that wrung our hearts at their
extravaganza; and we have seen these same
suckers" sell for twice what they paid
Strange as it may seem, the same thing has
continued year after year.
Coming on this insidious desire of for
eigneEs' to live in Flagstaff, the local branch
of the Mountain States Telephone company
has the temerity to announce that during the
last year it has installed over 100 additional
telephones in the city Naturally this causes
some CONSERVATION among our old settlers.
Only last year the telephone company in
stalled multiple switchboard capable Of TAX
ing care of 800 phones, and if this criminal
demand for phones continues, this board
won't last three years. Over 500 are now
hooked up to it, and at that one girl can
work in three places on the board.
These are startling facts, but it shows
what our town is up against, unless we put

THE SUNNY MONTH
OF DECEMBER

The month Of December, accord
ing to figures given out by George
T. Harrington, the weather man,
was most anything but a typical
Flagstaff December. In fact our
hotel men would have been playing
pretty safe had they advertised, as
luna does, that they would offer
free accommodation ON every day
that the sun didn't shine. Precipi-
tation was rs per cent below nor
NAL, only Ia inches of snow having
fallen. The mean temperature was
four degrees above normal for the
month, which added to the agree
ableness of the succession Of clear
sunny days. January SO far has
shown us the same delightful con
sideration.

HAWAIIAN SOLDIER HUNT
ING HIS BENEFACTOR

w. H. Switzer was very much m
terested in letter recently received
from a regular army soldier. The let
ter was postmarked Honduras but
was from soldier stationed at Pearl
Harbor, Hawaii, on duty with the y.
S. naval air service.
Rudolph Dahl was the soldier boy
and he had received a Christmas bag
given out by the Red Cross to sol
diers. Dahl says To-day they gave
out Christmas bags to all the men on
the station and in these bags there
was supposed to be addresses. In
the one i got there was but tag
showing that it came from Flagstaff

would help me find out the sender.

even to the makers name, cost ant

WILLIAMS ROTARY CLUB
HERE in FORCE AND DID
ENTERTAINING TUESDAY

Williams Rotary club members, here
in force on Tuesday at the regular
meeting of the local club, were in full
charge of and provided the program
and carried it all off so peppily and
Interestingly that the hope is earnest
lv unanimous that they will come
again soon and do it again.
President Mart Fronske of the local
club called to order. There was a
song; Scout Executive G. S. Moor
mick announced the state Boy Scout
conference here on February 2; cigars
provided in penance for recent birth
days they had were passed around BY
DR.. Tex Mackey and Bill Cady; Ro-
taryann Skeels Of Williams told ia an
interesting and at times humorous
manner Of the plans and hopes-soon,
it is hoped, to be realized-the
Womah's club of Williams has Of
building a new community house; and
then President Fronske turned the
gavel over to President Jack Butler
of the visiting club.
Jack started off with funny story
and between events on his program
told others, all of them to the points
he was making.
He started the whole bunch sing

BABBITT LIVERY BARNS
DESTROYED BY FIRE
THURSDAY MORNING

Fire completely destroyed Babbitt
Brothers large livery barn, stable
buildings and corral on the north side
Of East Aspen avenue shortly after
midnight yesterday morning, remov
ing a landmark that had stood there
many years.
The fire department had been called
out a few moments before and had
just extinguished blaze in an out
house on the James Roscow property
at the east end of East Birch avenue.
While the firemen were still there,
fire was seen coming from the livery
barn, three blocks away.
The latter, fed by dry pitchy tim
bers, was a mass Of flames in a mo-
,aent and covered a section $50 by
200 feet. Nothing could be done ex-
|cept prevent the spread of the fire to
nearby buildings. Fortunately, there
was no wind, and though flames shot
into the air hundred feet or more,
the buildings nearest were rooted and
sheathed with galvanized iron, MAX
ing the work easy. The Rex Goble au-
tomobile agency building, directly
across AgassiZ from the barn, was
warmed up pretty much, as was a
Babbitt hardware warehouse across
the spur track to the north of the
barn. This latter building was largely
protected by two freight cars stand
ing on the spur, and it took consid-
cradle water to save the cars.
There were 200 pounds of dynamite
in the warehouse, it is reported, so
the intervention of the box cars may
have been more than usually pro-
vidential.
There was nothing of value stored
in the livery barn, which is not used
much except during the warmer
months. 1t had stood there for 8
good many years. 1t housed many Of
the features during the big Days Of
40 celebration last July. The owners,
considering no further damage was
done, are pretty wbll satisfied with
the fire, as doubtless it would not have
been long before the buildings would
have been torn down anyway, and get
ting rid of them so easily and quickly
was a snap.

FIREMEN GIVE FIGHT
SHOW ARMORY FRIDAY

Flagstaff viii have a good boxing
show next Friday night, the 22nd, at
the armory Cecil Mccormick is ar
ranging and will manage it, and it
will be given under the auspices of
the Flagstaff Volunteer Fire depart
ment.
In the above may be found two
very good reasons why the show
should be very we'll attended. You
will have an interesting, exciting time,
and show your approval of the fell
lows you want to come on the jump
if fire gets monkeying around your
home.
The main event, eight rounds, will
be between Kid Hartwell Of Albuquer-
que and Kid Suthro of Flagstaff.
Slippery Malone of Los Angeles and
Young Monte Of Flagstaff are carded
for six rounds in the semi-finals.
Kid Hernandez of Flagstaff and
Kayo Tex of Dallas, 145-pounders, are
booked.
A special event will be a battle
royal, with five dusky bruisers all
wound up and set going at the same
time.

u. S. MARSHAL SAYS HE
CAN'T OVERRULE GOVT

L. S. Marshal George Mauk wishes
his position known as to the question
of price for feeding federal prisoners.
We are glad to correct the idea that
Marshal Mauk is in any way person
ally to blame in the matter. In a let
ter to the editor, he says:
/ am not desirous of any newspaper
publicity, but / notice you have given
me some on the front page in your
last weeks issue and have mis-stated
the facts. The fact is that Coconino
county was receiving a compensation
of Is cents per day for the keeping Of
federal prisoners when | came on the
job, and had been for many moons.
There unquestionably must have been
a contract or an agreement, or 1t
would not have been paid or accepted
for an indefinite period without any
question.
Last June Il mistake was made by
the clerk haTdling the books and an
allowance of tle dollar made Coco
nino county. The payment evidently
determined the sheriff and the board
to demand the dollar day. As you
WClI hIlOW, having ldu SOFCliilSlte
experience, | have no authority to
make rates. / am simply the agent
and paymaster Of the attorney gen
eral. While your story would indi-
cate that my letter asking for this re-
fund was amusing, they fail to laugh
about the March quarter of 1925,
which had not been demanded and not
paid until | personally discovered it
and told the sheriff if he would rem
der an account for it | would send him
check for same. This was done at
the rate of Is cents per day. / doubt
very much that County Attorney Har-
risons stand is logical and feel sure
that on careful thought he will revise
his opinion. However, what | wish
to do is to correct the idea your story
indicates to the public, that | am ar
bitrarily Withholding from Coconino
county money that is justly due it.
Such is not the case. Trusting you
will correct the statement and with
best wishes, | remain,
Very truly yours,

Two boys and two girls, posing as

at the Commercial hotel, Flagstaff,
Tuesday morning by Deputy Sheriff
Harry Greene and City Marshal JUS
tin r. Cooper and lodged in county
iail, to await the arrival, yesterday
morning, Of Mr.. Hayes, y. S. de-
partment of justice officer from
Phoenix, who will probably take the
prisoners back to Los Angeles for

The arrests were made on tele-

of Justice and from Sheriff Traeger of
Los Angeles. The crime alleged the
theft of the Hudson coach In which
the quartette reached Flagstaff at
1870 Tuesday morning.
Likely additional charges under the
Mann act will be brought against the
men, the girls admitting to Sheriff
John Parsons on Tuesday and to q
representative Of The Sun on Wednes-

Mr.. Barnes died on the train-which
stopped and was taking the injured
men to Wilhams-15 minutes after
the accident occurred. He was thrown
about 10 feet from the car and never
regained consciousness. The injury
causing death was to his head.
Dr. Melick did not lose conscious
ness. He was rushed to his own hos
pital in Williams and DR.. c. d. JEFF
fries and DR.. A. G. Rounsville Of that
place met the train with stretchers
and did everything possible to relieve
his suffering and safeguard his
chances for recovery.
The men left Williams at nine yes
terday morning to go hunting in the
Anita country. They were crossing
the railroad at Abra, formerly Vale,
at 1920 when the train dashed upon
them. They apparently, did not see
the train. The engineer and fireman
both saw them and the air brakes
were applied, but too late to avoid col
lision.
DR.. Melick, who was driving his
own car, was not thrown clear of it
but was injured on the right side of
his chest and back when the automo-
bile turned over on its side.
Mr. Barnes has lived in Williams a
good many years, before that for
some time having been manager of
