PAUL MORTON HAS SON

Ordinarily, Paul Morton, manager
of the Flagstaff branch Of the Central
Commercial company of Kingman, is
a human, hkeable chap. Sunday he
took a turn for the worse, and for
several days he's acted like he couldn't
see anyone he met. A committee was
appointed to call on him and ask il he
had suddenly inherited a million dol
lars, or what was the reason he all at
onct had to spit UP instead of down.
When the committee reasoned with
Paul few minutes and persuaded
him to talk they found instead of
hatin' 'em all he just was lovin' the
whole world so hard it'd made him in
articulate temporarily. The phenom-
enomenus genus homus visitation was
coincident, they found, with the ar
rival of a telegram last Saturday
morning from Los Angeles informing
Paul that Mrs. Morton had presented
him with a fine-and his first and
only--son.

pating an increased demand for
meats at the close of the Lenten sea-

week and today the market was
strong to is cents higher and in a
new high position for the year Com
pared with year ago the market is
fully So higher AT current prices
feeders are making fairly good
profit. Indications are that receipts
will remain moderate SO that a con-
finuation Of an active demand can be
expected. Today, good to. choice
steers IN practically all weights sold
at 81 to $12. Nothing with outstandt
ING finish was offered. Prime kinds
would have brought $l3.25 had they
been offered. Fair to good sold at

CdrniUdL Leaves TOIDTs
Police Take Vacation

County and city law forces are TAX
ing vacations this week all because
they were overworked last week in
handling the various complaints re-
sulting from Flagstaff having a car
nival.
"Of all the dead beats, said Shreiff
Parsons, seconded by City Marshal
Cooper, "the bunch travelling with
that carnival takes the blue ribbon.
With telegraphic reports coming in
from every other town where they
played previous to coming here, we
knew just what to expect and were
prepared for the worst. And the
worst happened" /" !.
It seems that the pet diversion of
many of those connected with the
carnival was that Of beating every
body out of board and room rents.
Sheriff Parsons was called out at
three o'clock Sunday morning on q
complaint from the Paso del Norte
hotel on the south side that several
carnival members refused to pay their
room rent. The indebted ones
claimed to be broke, but also refused
to leave their baggage as security.
Sheriff Parsons issued an ultimatum
that they either pay up or the car
nival wouldn't leave this state until
they did.
There were also many petty COM
plants, such as missing lumber, homes
being broken into, and tents on prop
erty that wasn't rented by the car
nival company.
If you want to hear a good story
get the sheriff to tell that one about
the concession operator who was GO
ing to throw him off the carnival
grounds, It's good.
