Coconino county, in effect, that if
the governor, the secretary of the
board of directors of state institu-
tions and the state engineer would
keep their hands off the project and
let him handle it as it should be
handled, that the job could be built
within the limits of the contractors
bid. No such statement ever was
been, Atwood's connection with the
state highway department would
have been severed at that time.
Another project of which B. NJ.
Atwood had direct charge and sup
arvision, and that he has undertaken
in what purports to be his testimony,
to declare to have been handled in
an inefficient and wasteful manner,
meriting the condemnation of the leg
islature and the people of the State
of Arizona, was the surfacing of
the Prescott-Jerome highway. This
work was done under the direct su-
pervision Of B. M Atwood Since the
completion of the job, the highway
department has received the COM
mendation of such prominent citi-
zens of Yavapai county as Mr.. Robert
Tally and Major Midgley, the latter
until recently chairman of the board
of supervisors of Yavapai county, as
to the manner in which the work was
performed"
Sutter Replies to Lefebvre
Though Mr.. Sutter told newspaper
men the committee report would be
sufficient reply to Mr. Lefebvre, he
offered a letter in reply of which
the following is a part:
II do not care to enter into any
controversies in the newspapers.
However, since the state engineer
has seen fit to make public the let
ter addressed to me, feel at liberty
to ask him through the columns of
the press, the following questions:
First: Is it not a fact that the
highway departments advertised for
contractors bids on FEDERAL Aid
Project No. "a, being the highway be-
tween the town of Winslow and Can
yon Diabl0 and that you submitted
statement to the committee show
ing that contractors bid was re-
ceived offering to build the project
for $128, ,380.42, which bid was sup
ported by certified check in the
sum of 10 per cent of the amount
bid?
Second: Is it not fact that, ac-
cording to the statement submitted
by the highway department to the
committee, purporting to have been
sworn to by you, under oath, that
you showed in such statement that

Merely a desire to become real
"westerner" was responsible for the
mysterious disappearance from a
Raymond Whitcomb land cruise
train last Monday night of Stanton
B. Pomeroy, nineteen year old boy
who started the trip from the east
with his parents. This was learned
in Globe with the receipt Of tele-
grams Of appreciation to railroad Of
ficials for their efforts in the at
tempt to locate the youth. He was
found on a ranch near Finley, Tex
as, learning to be a cowboy.
The boy was discovered to be miss
ing when the train reached Globe
Tuesday morning and his disappear
ance was the cause of deep concern
on the part of his parents. The fa-
ther and mother had been with the
boy while the train stopped in Ell
Paso and then retired to their state
room, thinking that he was going to
his berth in another part of the
coach. Evidently suspecting that
there would be parental objections to
his plan of getting a touch OF west

he was going to leave the train

TWO ENGINEMEN DEAD
FROM SCALDS in PEAVINE
WRECK MONDAY MORNING

S. Elmer Landon, 3d., Phoenix, and
E. L. McMurtry, 28, Phoenix, engineer
and fireman, respectively, of Santa Fe
passenger train No. AZ, Ash Fork to
Phoenix, died Monday as a result OF
burns received late Sunday night
when their engine hurtled from the
track and overturned, and the four
cars of the train derailed, at Flores,
10 miles north of Wickenburg, on the
Ashfork- Phoenix division of the Santa
Fe. No passengers were Injured in
the derailment.
McMurty, the more severely scaldel
of the two, died in Wickenburg while
en- route to Phoenix on relief train.
1andon was taken to Phoenix on the
train, but died before hospital was
reached.
Heavy rains had dislodged a boul-
der which rolled close to the track.
The engine struck it. The engine
men stopped the train and made an
inspection. Phey decided no harm
had been done and pulled on. But
several miles beyond something gave
way and the engine toppled over on
it's side, bursting steam pipes, scald-
ing the engine crew. All ears of the
train were derailed, though all re-
naained upright, leaning only slightly
by virtue of the curve and minor EN-
bankment at that place.
Landon was the fourth oldest. en-
gineer on that division of the Santa
F'e, having started his service with
the company in December, 1900. Nc
Murtry had been in the employ Of the
Santa Fe since 1917.
Sunday nights trip was to have
been McMurtry's last on the Ashfork-
Phoenix division, for he was to have
been elevated to engineer upon his
return to Phoenix.
He has been an engineer in the
service of the Santa Fe lines for two
years but was Aset back" recently

Suddenly the legislative investiga-
ton of the state highway department,
which started off in an ominously
peaceful manner, has developed great
heat, sensational charges and counter
charges in which charges Of lying are
but thinly yelled, and disclosures of
highway department practices which
as reading are more sensational
than satisfying and edifying.
It started with the testimony of
Colonel B. M Atwood, form u engin-
eer for the state highway department
for the northern district of this state,
who disclosed many things not to the
credit of the administration of his
chief, w. F. Lefebvre, state highway
engineer.
This brought forth heated de-
Tense of the highway department
Senator Fred Sutter, chairman of
the joint legislative highway inves-
tigation committee, upbraiding the
senator for not revealing to him, tes-
timony taken by the committee be-
fore it was given to the newspapers.
Senator Sutter, when asked
by newspaper men for a reply to Lee
febvre, said: "The report of the
committee itself will be my formal
written answer. think | can prom
ise that it will prove fully compet4
ent to, speak for itself"
And simultaneously, Colonel At
wood, replying to charges made in
the Lefebyre letter that part of his
testimony before the committee was
false, demanded ssfull and COM
Iplete Investigation of my testimony
and of the department, that my tes-
timony may be proven true"
Most of the testimony Of Colonel
Atwood has to do with projects in
the north part of the state.

Lefebvre's letter says, in part:
"Some members of the legislature,
surrounded as they are with legal
immunity, evidently feel that they
are permitted to make irresponsible
statements reflecting upon the homes

employees of the state. But I, sir, do

the charge, imputation or inference
that there has been any dishonesty

Flagstaff High Lost
at CLGrkdGLe Friday


Flagstaff High basketball five was
defeated in hard-fought battle at
Clarkdale on February II. The local
boys held their own fairly we'll on
defensive but were not fast enough on
the offensive.
Something like a jinx followed the
team all the way. The boys just
couldn't get together until the last
half. At the end of the first half
the score stood 18 to 4 in favor of
Clarkdale.
Bob Prochnow hurt his ankle in the
third quarter ard although he was
able to stand it for d while he was
taken out finally because it hurt so
badly. Slipher went in in his place
and played a fighting game to the
end. Joe Sheehan and Kenny Caffey
threw some lucky long shots that
helped bring up our end of the score.
The game ended 31-12 against us. The
referee was square and both sides
were well pleased with the officiat-
ing.
After travelling through snow and
rain all the way there the boys were
off their guard at the start and
couldn't get together until the end
of the half. The last half was a
much better game than the first for
the boys woke up then and put up a
real fight. The Clarkdale court is a
long one and the Flagstaff boys
weren't used to it. Their wind didn't
last very long. All in all it was a
pretty good game even if the long
end of the score did 60 the wrong
way.

Hunters Kill II
Lions in January

State and government hunters
killed 81 mountain lions in Arizona
during the month of January, accord
ing to M. E. Musgrave, Phoenix, pre-
datory animal inspector for the United
States biological survey, who has just
received complete reports from all
over the state.
Most of the lions were found
through the central part of the state,
from the Bradshaw mountains east to
the New Mexico line.
Reports from the hunters indicate
that the number of wolves is decreas-
ing. Only three of these animals were
killed last month, and all three had
drifted into the state from Mexico.
