STRONG SCOTCH FLAVOR
AT ROTARY ON TUESDAY

Vic Watson handled the program at
Rotary on Tuesday and produced a
humdinger.
It had strong flavor of Scotch, sup
erinduced through Vic's nationality.
Had the spirit of revenge showed its
hydra head less conspicuously it would
have been a better program; but Vic,
just because The Sun has at sundry
times mentioned his ancestral foible-
the most characteristic ofle--had Col.
Fred Breen and Del Strong of The
Sun stand, calling upon the former TO
spell several useless and involved
words and fining the latter for Fred's
failure to spell them correctly. 1t
was dastardly display of vindictive
spirit of vengeance that savors none
of the Rotary spirit.
DR.. Mart Fronske with his Rotary
education committee also got some of
the fellows in bad and because they
| failed to answer some questions cor
rectly they were waived upon by
Sergeant at Arms Tommy knoles.
The speakers were John @. Thomas,
u. S. Senator Henry F. Ashurst and
Mr.. Watson himself.
The senator had some fun and gave
the others lot in some witty al
lusions to the aforementioned ac-
centuated Scotch characteristic. Then
in serious vein, he spoke Of America s
| supremacy above the other nations OF
the earth and the wisdom of practic-
| ing good will, friendliness and tact
toward other nations.
Mr.. Thomas outlined the objects
and program under way this week IN
| beautifying Flagstaff.
Mr.. Watson, who IS manager Of the
| Arizona Live Stock Loan company OF
Flagstaff, described its purpose and
methods and emphasized the great
part it is playing III restoring sound
and good conditions in the live stock
| industry. which, he said, is now on q
better financial basis than ever be-
fore. Mr. Watson said it should be
remembered that this company is 4
Flagstaff enterprise, owned by Bah
| bitt Brothers, to whom should be
given credit for the good work it has
done and is doing.
The Arizona Live Stock company

Of Berkfey, and loaning for q longer
period and lower interest rates thar

in this state, and it is likely that by
fall the amount will have reached
three million. The money Is loaned

SHERIFF HOLDING MAN
FOR FIRING BUILDING
IN WHICH WIFE SLEPT

Facing a charge Of arson in the
first degree, carrying penalty Of
from two to SO years, Pablo Bacca,
Mexican, is being held in the county
jail awaiting the return of County
Attorney r. M. Gold from Grand Can
yon this afternoon when formal
complaint will be filed.
Bacca, according to evidence gath
cred by Sheriff j. O.. Parsons, set fire
TO building late Tuesday evening in
which his wife had sought temporary
refuge for the night The supect, it is
said, was seen coming from a lean-to
of the building which a few minutes
later was enyeIoped in flames. Bacca
attempted to prove an alibi by saying
that he was in the tent show with his
son when the fire started. This alibi
was broken down by one son, who
stated that he was not outside Of the
house after six o'clock the night of the
fire. Sis.
The whole trouble, according to
Sheriff Parsons, started from series
Of domestic quarrels, several Of which
the sheriff's office was forced to take
hand in. Tuesday morning after a
quarrel Mrs Bacca left home and
went to the building on the side OF
Mars hill near the Santa Fe tracks.
She was given permission to use the
building for temporary shelter by
Seferino Garcia, who owned the
property destroyed All afternon, 1t
is said by witnesses, Bacca bounded
the neighborhood where his wife was
seeking refuge and in the evening he
is said to have. remarked that If she
didn't come out he would burn her
out"
At the time the fire started Mrs.
Bacca was asleep in the building and
was awakened by the cracking of the
flames and with the help Of neighbors
removed her personal effects and
household articles.
The fire alarm was turned in atl0:-
Is p. m. and on the arrival OF the
truck it was found that there was not
enough hose to reach the nearest hy-
drant, which was several blocks away.
All efforts were then concentrated to
keep the fire from spreading with the
use Of chemicals. The firemen were
successful in holding the fire with the
exception of small shed which was
within a few feet of the burning
building.
The fire ragged for over two hours,
fed by large piles of lumber stored in
and outside of the building.

company discounts these loans at
AK per cent with the federal loan
bank, and thus doing business on an
interest spread of 21s percent. Of
the amount loaned in this state, $780,
900 was on Salt River Valley dairy
cattle, the main purpose in caring for
these loans, in which the operating
expense is greater, being to stabilize
and rromote dairying in that section.
Gila valley dairymen have also Sc
cured loans. A half million has been
loaned on feeder cattle in the Salt
River valley. Althogether the. Ari-
zona Live Stock Loan company has
loaned more than any other agency on
live stock in Arizona.

The ruling says that Miss Browne

she received money as a TENNIS

that, barring the very sportsman

Browne is quite in keeping with
the general fatheadedness of the
bodies that control our high priced
amateurs.
THE germ of trouble behind this
