DAD SAYS HIS GIRLS
COULDN'T LIVE ON AIR

II come from beautiful country"
said Samuel Monroe Campbell, so
year-old father of four children-all
girIs-in federal court yesterday.
Mr. Campbell was not pinch hitting
for the Flagstaff Chamber of Com
merce. He was leading up to re-
markable statement for a man to
make in federal court where there is
a charge of bootlegging against him.
Campbell admitted that he had been
making whiskey-" made it now for
seven years"
81 live in a beautiful country
wonderful scenery and the finest air
in the world. But a man can't live
on air and scenery"
The legal cause to be shown" was
slowly coming out of the lips of the
defendant who lives 16 miles from
Flagstaff and is raising four daugh-
ters.
"About that seven years." said
Judge Jacobs, 'it isn't what you do
but what you are caught doing in this
business that counts. Fined $50 on
the first count and $25 on the second
count"
Campbell paid the money out of the
fund with which he supplies the
necessaries not listed under air and

SUNSHINE OIL COMPANY
MUST REBUILD DERRICK

The Sunshine Oil company, sinking
a hole on the Sunshine structure As
miles east of Flagstaff, is evidently
working under an i'll omen, following
the almost complete wrecking of the
84-foot derrick last week According
to Bobby Burns, head driller at the
well, the timbers of the crown block
gave away while the drillers were pull
ing the string of case, and the main
portion of the tower was so badly
damaged that it will have to be COM
pletely rebuilt. Preceding this last
catastrophe, the drilling crews had en-
countered quicksand which caused two
weeks delay and two weeks ago bit
became clogged, necessitating the
shutting while awaiting proper fish
ing tools.
The wrecking of the derrick means
that it will be at least three weeks to
month before actual drilling opera
tions can be resumed.
None of the drilling crew was in
jured

WHY OUR LIFHTs BLINKED

More than so telephone calls were
received by the light company Satur-
day evening when for time the lights
were out. Most realized that the
heavy play of lightning during the
storm caused the break in service, but
few realized the extent of the dam
age.
Lightning entered the light plant
over the street light circuit, knocked
large porcelain fuse block from the
wall and caused a bit of excitement
among the plant force at work. 1t
hoped and skipped all over town and
wherever it touched it made trouble;
several transformers were burned out,
the regulator was put out Of commits
sion and various other minor damage
done. There was a lot of extra work
done before the street circuit was re-
paired so that the lights could be
turned on Monday night.

Saturday morning with about $63 in
cash from the Downer & Nero road
camp and to date has eluded capture.
The man arrived at the camp Fri
day morning just after the road gangs
all day and that evening engaged
with three other men, two whites and
Mexican, in game of poker. The
Mexican was particularly lucky and at
a little after midnight had approxi-
mately all the money on the table.
Stepping out of the room for minute,
the stranger returned and ordered his
three companions to throw up their
hands. He turned his attention to the
Mexican and took all the money in
sight from him, but overlooked 500
which the man had in the watch pocket
of his overalls. The gunman then
vanished
The sheriff's office here was noti-
fled and deputy detailed to the case.
How the man made his getaway has
not been determined, as he was
thought to have, arrived at the road
camp afoot. 1t is possible according
to Investigators that he had ma
chine hidden out and made his get

have entered a roadhouse on the
outskirts of Gallup the night follow

nan in question he must have trav-

QUICK ACTION AVERTS
DISASTROUS FIRE WHEN
TUB GASOLINE ICNITES

Only quick-thinking averted seri-
Gus fire when a silk-lined wool coat
being washed in gasoline caught fire
and ignited several gallons of gaso-
line at the home of Baxter Womack,
73 Grand Canyon avenue, Wednesday
evening. With the exception of the
destruction of the coat and a little
scorched paint, no material damage
was done
The coat was being washed by Mr..
Womack in an electric washer and had
been run through the wringer pre-
paratory to hanging it out to dry.
Baxter said that when he brought the
coat over the top Of the machine it
burst into flames, igniting the gaso-
line in the tub. Throwing the coat
to the middle of the floor where it
might burn without setting fire to any
of the rooms furnishings, Baxter
picked up the air tight cover of the
washer and smothered the flaming
contents. Then using a coat hanger
for q pitchfork he threw the burning
coat into the open. The fire depart
ment, called by Mrs. Womack, made
a record run to the scene, but was not
needed. Baxter said it was the most
exciting 30 seconds he ever went
through. But for his quick thinking,
very serious damage might have been
done to his home.
A false alarm of fire was turned in
Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 by some
one on Milton road, who reported
there was fire at the B. & M. camp
grounds. When the fire department
arrived at the scene it found only a
burning rubbish pile which due to sew
eral rubber tires was throwing off
more than the usual amount of smoke.

C. b. WILSON BUYS THE
MOHLENPACH PROPERTY

The old Adam Mohlenpach residence
on East Birch avenue, owned by Mrs.
M. E. Tackitt and Mrs. Herbert Hill
kins, daughters Of the late Mr.. Moh-
lenpach, and occupied for some years
by the Tackitt family, on Friday was
sold to Attorney G. B. Wilson. The
deal was made through the T. E. Pol
lock Investment company.
This large two story home for many
years has been a landmark of one of
the pioneer families of Flagstaff. It
occupies several lots across the front
of which are handsome large shade
trees. Purchase of this piece of land
by Attorney Wilson fills out the east
half block bounded by Birch, Cherry
and San. Francisco, the rest of which
he already owned.

San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 90
(AP)-Texas lost one of it's most
promising welterweight f fighters
when Sandi Esquival deserted the
squared circle this fall to resume his
medical education at the University
Of Texas.
Esquival, who is citizen of this
country despite his Spanish name,
deserted school and his amateur
status when he was graduated from
the University of Texas a year ago.
His campaign that year was so sue
cessful he was able to return to
school in the fall and complete the
first year Of his medical education.
This summer he reentered the ring
in quest of funds to continue his
education. Two victories over Ray
Macias, the fighting son of a Mex
lean general, and one victory over
Charley Cobb of Galveston, were
the high points in his campaign.
Macias lost once on decision, but
went down the second time for the
count before a one-two punch. Cobb
stayed 10 rounds with Esquival, but
took a count of 20 after the bel
had ended the fifth round.

New York, Oct. 20.-(AP)-Sel

more need of a national governing
authority, exercising sweeping in
stead of limited powers, than they
do at present with the various rul-

The conclusion of the National

which principally is between the Ma
