WOMAN DIES OF INJURIES
RECEIVED WHEN TWOC CARS
CRASHED SUNDAY EVENING

Mrs. R. w. Lindley, of Centralia,
Wash, was fatally = injured Sunday
evening in an automobile accident 20
miles east of here on the Old Trails
highway when the car in which she
was riding crashed with Ford truck.
Mrs. Lindley died at Mercy Hospital
a few hours after the accident.
Mr. Lindley, who was driving the
car told the sheriff's office that he
had just driven onto the pavement
this side of Canyon Padre when his
wife remarked that there seemed to
be a car parked on their side of the
road. The apparently stationary
their car and when he was almost
upon it saw that he would have to
turn to the left to escape hitting it.
No sooner had he turned out than the
crash took place and their car showed
off the side of the road, but did not
tip over. The Ford truck loaded
heavily was tipped over on its side.
Mrs. Lindley who was riding on
the side of the car which received
the full weight of the crash was badly
injured. In spite of the all-steel con-
struction of the body of their touring
car, the front seat was pushed foot
to the rear and the whole side of
the car caved in. Mrs. Lindley was
rendered unconscious but regained
consciousness before she passed away.
Her right leg was nearly amputated,
her hip crushed and she suffered
severe internal injuries. She passed
away at 9 o'clock, two and one-half
hours after the accident. Mr.. Lindley
received few bruises and a cut on
his head.
Mrs. Lindley's body was shipped to
Cosmopolis, Wash, Tuesday, to the
home of her parents, where she will
be buried in the family lot. She has
one married daughter, residing in lr-
vington, N. Y. Mr.. and Mrs. Lindley
were on their way home from an ex-
tended visit in Kansas.
The county attorney is investigating
the cause of the fatal accident. N. R.
Marquee, who is employed with the
Arizona Wholesale Grocery company
at Winslow was driving the truck
when it struck the Lindley car. He
claims that the Lindley's were on the
wrong side of the road and that he
was the one forced to swerve in order
to avoid hitting their car. Several
persons were at the scene of the acci-
dent Immediately following the crash
and they are being questioned by the
county attorney. Just what action
the state will take in the matter can
not be said at this time.

POSTOFFICE TO BE MOVED
INTO NACKARD BUILDING

The Flagstaff postoffice will be
moved to the K. j. Nackard building
on San Francisco street on Decem-
Der / or as soon thereafter as the in
terror of the building can be equipped
and made ready for it. The informa-
ton announcing the acceptance of the
lease from Mr.. Nackard for 10-year
period was received by Postmaster
Conner Wednesday from the postoffice
department.
BY this lease the postoffice will
take over the south half of the build
ing containing 1920 square feet and
$50 square feet basement, which latter
will be used mainly for storing parcel
post mail.
The front of the leased part will be
remodelled, doing away with the
show windows and q partition run
through the center Mail boxes, money
order, stamp, parcel post and registry
windows and lobby will be on the
north side of the room with small
lobby in front.
The Monte Vista Hotel company,
owner of the room now occupied by
the postoffice, were averse to leasing
the room again for the length OF time
desired by the government, feeling the
space would soon be needed to enlarge
the coffee shop. The Masonic Tenn
pie building was favored as location
but the trustees were unable to reach
an agreement with the government as
to the terms of the lease.

Join This Band If
You Are Musical

Flagstaff has long felt the need of
good brass band. Just recently O.
H. Cady, member Of the faculty OF
the Teachers college, has been APP
pointed band director and now has a
band of some fourteen members
among the students, but wishes to
make it community band of at least
twice that number by securing men,
bers from among the musically in
clined people over town who know how
to play some band instrument. Band
practice is held on the second floor of
the training school building on Tues
day and Thursday evenings from 8
to 9, and Mr. Cady would be glad to
welcome all corners, especially cornet
and alto players.
DR.. Cady has had great deal of
professional experience with bands
and is certain that there is plenty of
musical talent in Flagstaff with
which to organize splendid band ii
it can be secured.

Lumberjacks Annex
Conference Title By
Win Over Redskins

BY defeating the Phoenix Indians
last Saturday 80 to Coach Lavik of
the Flagstaff Teachers college COW
cred his proteges with glory by anex-
ing the championship of the Arizona
informal conference.
!. The Flagstaff Teachers have met
and defeated all the teams in the con-
ference with the exception of Phoenix
Junior college who held the Jacks to
a scoreless tie in their first game of
the season
The Lumberjacks had an easy time
disposing of the Phoenix Redmen de-
spite the fact that the aggregation as
a whole did not perform in their usual
brilliant style The Indians were only
able to make one first down against
the Teachers and that came in the last
few seconds of play when Coach Lavik
sent in the weakest of his second
string and part of his third team.
Coach Lavik's backs were able to
run the ends and plunge the line at
will. j. B. Easley, fleet Teachers end,
furnished the only thrill of the game
when he took Brimhall's pass on the
Indians 37-yard line and lodged a
flock of tacklers for touchdown.
"Gallopin' Nose" Cooper accounted
for the first touchdown of the game
in the first three minutes of play on
several line plunges after the Jacks
recovered the ball on the Indians 20
yard line when Bread, Indian halfback,
fumbled.
Ike Zaner, difhinutive Jewish half
back for the Teachers, ripped through
the Indians line for the second touch
down. ]. B. Easley scored the last
touchdown of the first half on fake
play around right end. The score at
the end of the half was 10 to 0.
During the last two periods of play,
and in part of the second period,
Coach Lavik used most of his fresh
men and while the Indians were able
to check the advances of the junior
contingent they We're not able to
pierce the line for any material gains.
The Indians only tailed 70 yards IN
end runs and line plunges.
In the second half of the game
Zaner, George Pear and Easley gar
nered touchdowns.
Bread, stellar Indian halfback, re-
ceived a fracture of his leg early IN
the game. Coach Vigil of the Braves
kept sending in stream of bucks to
stop the advances of the local Timber
men. The score sheet showed that
Vigil had IL men who we're taken out
of the game on account of injuries.
"Gallopin' Nose" Cooper received
the bulk of the injuries for the Teach
ers. Cooper is suffering from a
bruised shoulder, bum leg and it was
necessary to put four stitches IN his
law. Sammy Rogalsky is carrying
around a badly bent knee. These In
iuries, however, will not keep these
two hard working lads out of today

OFFICIAL FROM FORD
MOTOR COMPANY HERE
FOR DEALERS MEETING

A. G. Buris, assistant manager Of
the Ford Motor company with six
implement and service men conducted
a dealers service meeting here last
Saturday for Ford agents in northern
Arizona with representatives from
Springerville, Williams, St. Johns,
Jerome, Prescott, Winslow, Kingman,
Cottonwood and Flagstaff in attend
ance.
The meeting was devoted to plans
for servicing the new Ford models
which will soon be distributed to
dealers. Talks were given by the
service and implement men with a
main address by Mr.. Buris, who gave
general plan Of what the Ford
Motor company expects to do regard
ing the servicing of the new models.
Every dealer present was given
detailed instruction as to the equip
ment he should install before the
arrival of the new models, the e. D..
Babbitt Motor company, local dealers,
already having commenced to make
changes in their repair shop which
will be in shape to receive the new
Ford cars as soon as they are re-
leased All special equipment, accord
ing to Mr.. B1ris, must be placed be-
fore the new models are on display.
Although Mr.. Babbitt, proprietor
of the local motor company has no
definite. data on the new car, he ex-
plains that the motor will be one I'M
ike that ever before used in an
American car. 1t probably will be
patterned after the French motors,
which have a small bore and long
stroke and which are economical in
gasoline consumption.
Mr.. Rabbit says that the new Fords
have been put on the assembly line
and that rapid production is now
in progress. He also said that the
Ford company had test cars on the
proving grounds for the past five
months.
