LOCAL SHEEPMAN LEAVES
TO MAKE HOME In SPAIN

Said to have amassed good sized
fortune in the. Is years he has spent
in this vicinity, Pedro Ylarez, a
Spaniard, left Wednesday for his
native country, where he plans to re-
tire, though it is barely possible ne
will engage in business.
His stake, estimated at over $780,
600, was made in the sheep business.
He is only SO years of age, and came
direct to Arizona from Spain when he
was 21 years old, leasing u small
ranch near here where he started
sheep raising. He Increased his
land holdings from time to time
through leasing, but never acquired
any land under his own name. He
was shrewd buyer and seller and
during the war made a good deal OF
money and was able to keep in busi-
ness during the postwar slump, when
forced a great many cattle and sheep
men In the state out Of business.
Purchasers Of Mr.. Ylarez's 1000
sheep were Davy & Thomas Of Glen
dale. Mr.. Ylarez never became an
American citizen. He has many
friends in Flagstaff and vicinity.
The past week, before leaving for
New York he spent in Flagstaff out
fitting for his voyage.

Sends
First Car This
Spriag Oak Greek

JOS. j. Waldhaus, distributor for
Studebaker cars, remarks soothingly
that whether or not one has trouble
the drive from Flagstaff
to Oak Greek canyon and down the
hill and back depends to a large ex-
tent on the vehicle used.
George Elliott, driving a Stude-
baker blk six, left Flagstaff at 7:30
last Saturday morning and drove
clear to the jim Lamport ranch, which
is quite some distance below the foot
of the hill, and got back here before
the middle Of the afternoon. He went
down after Mrs. Locke, whose hus-
band the first part of last week had
seven toes removed at Mercy hospital,
the result of freezing his feet Christ

George said except on the steep
part of the hill he had to shift into
low only once, and had no difficulty
anywhere along the route.

PASSED BUCK BACK
TO GOVERNOR HUNT AND QUIT
His Money Was
Too Coarse for En-

Senator G.. B. Hamilton, president
of the Hamilton chain of hotels, re-
lates rather unique experience which
happened to him recently on a trip to
Prescott.
The senator found when he went to
the ticket office to secure passage
back to Los Angeles, that he was
practically out of small change, with
only few large, coarse 500 bills in
his possession. The ticket agent was
unable to take it apart in order to
segregate his share. However the
senator dug up enough for carfare to
Ashfork, with two cents to spare. At
Ashfork, the senator, who eats oc-
casionally, ate first then rendered his
$10O. The Harvey house was shy the
makin's and couldn't garner it at that
time and had to let the check stand,
since their stomach pump was also out
of order.
The senator next had to bounce the
800 on the Pullman conductor. The
Pullman man also went cross-eyed
and suggested he might just take it
for security.
At Seligman, a special officer got
on board looking for the bird who had
upset the system all the way from
Prescott.
rs your name Hamilton?" the spe-
cial inquired.
'Yep, I'm the bird" said the SEN
ator.
I'D like t see that $1OO bill" was
the next request of the officer as he
flashed his badge Of authority.
'.Here you are, replied the senator,
flashing the suspicious bill, ~and
here's few more samples happen
to have with me, if you care to look
'em over"
The officer semed satisfied with the
make, color and texture Of the Jonah
bill and returned II.
1T appears that some fellow had
been over the route some time before
with d 800 bill which had been care
lessly prepared and did not travel in
good society. This accounted for sus
picion being cast upon Senator Ham
ilton, rather than on account of his
good looks.

Arrest Bootlegger
South Side Monday

Pablo AIasuey was fined $3.50 in
superior court Tuesday afternoon, fol-
lowing a plea of guilty to the charge
of transporting liquor. He paid his
fine and was released from custody
of the sheriff.
A raid was conducted on the home
of Alastuey at the corner of O'Leary
street ard Cottage avenue Monday
night by county and city officers and
a gallon Of "moon" was found cached
in an outbuilding. Mrs. Alastuey on
the entrance of the officers, 1t is said,
dashed quart bottle into the drain,
and none Of this evidence could be re-
covered by officers. Four secret
but empty caches were found behind
baseboards and secret panels.
Alastuey was lodged in the county
jail Monday night and on Tuesday
was taken into superior court before
Judge j. E. Crosby Of Holbrook, who
substituted for Judge j. E. Jones.
On advice from County Attorney F..
M. Gold, Alastuey pleaded guilty to
the charge Of transporting liquor,
whereas the real charge against him
was the possession of Intoxicating
beverages. III HG Hau HOl plGAuSu
guilty to transporting liquor his case
would have gone before the federal
court in Prescott in May, as this state
has no law against the possession Of
liquor.
The officers who took part in the
raid were City Marshal j. r. Cooper,
Night Marshal Claude Tackitt,
Deputy Sheriff Art Vandevier and
Constable b. G. Black.

HIRAMS HEARD OF
LEGISLATIVE DOINGS
FROM THREE SOLONS

Captain Gerald e. Damewood ar
ranged an unusually interesting and
instructive program for last Fridays
Hiram meeting.
State Senator Walter Runke and
Assemblymen Fred w. Perkins and
Earl G. Slipher, Coconino county's
members of the present Legislature,
were the speakers.
Judge Perkins described the routine
through which bill must pass on it's
way to enaction, inaction or guberna-
torial amputation.
Mr.. Runke spoke of some of the
more important bills, including the
highway and appropriation bills, and
pointed out the loss during the last
two years through the state doing its
own road work, instead of letting it
under contract, in one of several SINH
lar cases, the contract price being
S128, 900, while it cost the state $212,-
900 to do the work.
Mr.. Slipher paid especial attention
to the governors call for an extra
ordinary" session, and with the gov
ernor's message at the opening of the
legislature as a guide, showed that
practically all of the things he had at
that time mentioned were taken care
of by the legislature. Mr.. Slipher
also touched on the high lights Of the
Legislative investigation Of the state
highway department, alluding to many
strange transactions disclosed, such
as charging foreman $65 each for
IL T.. w. ID. truck cranks which were
cataIogued at $1.65 each, and charg-
srn* +Ln Snx.aa fnrayeanY &1 1E0 f0s. d
truck engine from dismantled gov
ernment truck.
Among the guests were DIR. 3. A.
Miller, Mr.. Al. j. Mackey, Durward
Mckinney and Del Strong.

At hour rates, they got little more

there were not too many of them on
the job-those syeggs, or that yegg,
who blew open the door of the big
vault at the Arizona Lumber & Tim
Der Co. general offices Sunday night.
The man or men were clever. Not
a footprint, finger-print or shred of
anything personal was left by which
identification might be established
The job was done with professional
coolness and skill That the reward
was not greater was their own hard
luck
Ray Simington, who has charge of
the company's railway trains, entered
the office as usual a little before
seven o'clock Monday morning. He
was soon followed by /. B. Koch, vice.
president and general manager of the
company. Both entered the front
door, walked down the corridor past
Mr.. Koch's and T. A. Riordan's and NJ.
j. Riordan's offices into the big room

which the bookkeeping, billing and
correspondence is handled.

Both Mr.. Koch and Mr.. Simington
noticed some rags or cloths on the
floor of the big room, but thought
they might have been left there by
Salvador Perez, who cleans the offices
every morning.
Mr.. Koch and Mr.. Simington left
the building by the rear side door, go
ing to the mill yards.
A few moments later Perez came in
to do his cleaning, followed by Mr..
Siade, bookkeeper. Mr.. Slade went to
the vault to open it and found that
while the door was closed he didn't
need any combination at all to open.

The burglar with an electric drill

bulb from a nearby electric desk lamp
and plugged his drill in on that
socket.
The lock was blown off the vault
door, the explosion spattering nitro
glvcerine over the desk. The un-
burned part of the fuse was found
near a window On the south side of the
room. The light inner door of the
vault, which had not been locked, was
badly bent

cyclone had struck it. The main doors

FIRE THREATENED OLD
TOWN SECTION FRIDAY

A broken firehose and the necessity
of running fire line four blocks to
get to a fireplug, imperiled the old
town section for a time last Friday
evening, and was instrumental in al
lowing considerable damage to be
done to the residence owned by j. L.
Nieto, and occupied by his son Felipe
and wife.
The fire alarm sounded at $50 and
was turned in by Mrs. Lucas, a neigh
Dor. She noticed smoke coming from
the woodshed at the rear of the build
ing and notified central.
The fire truck made the run to the
fire and dropped the large hose and
started for a hydrant only half
block away, but was unable to get
across the River de Flag which has no
bridge at that point.
The next nearest fireplug, block
and a half away was coupled to after
laving four blocks of hose, necessi-
tated by detour caused by the ioca-
ton of the burning building and a
woven-wire fence. In laying this line
it was found to be four lengths short
and the extra hose had to be taken
from the auxiliary hose truck. All IN
all about eight minutes were con-
sunned before water was turned on the
fire and when II was she building was
a mass of flames, threatening other
structures. SHORTY after the water
had been put on length of hose burst
and by the time this was "jacketed'
the fire was burning nearly as fierce
ly as in the beginning. However, when
the water was kept on the fire it was
soon under control and danger OF
spreading dissipated
The damage to the building was
great, both from fire end water. The
roof was burned nearly off and the
entire exterior damaged by flames.
The furnishings and interior were
damaged greatly by water and smoke.
Insurance covered the greater part OF
the loss, Mr.. Nieto said.

MORE GOLD COMES
TO CULTIVATE US

Lee Gould, Coconino county farm
agent, and Mrs. Gould arrived few
days ago. They drove from Nogales,
where Mr.. Gould has been stationed
for the past four years.
Friendly critics remarked that he

his immediate predecessor, the circum-
ference Of Frank Chisholm, who pre-
ceeded Mr.. Henness, and everyone can
tell with the first glance that he has
the genial personality of both. He
comes highly recommended, though he
doesn't look as if he needed any letters

tic arts. Both will be valuable addi-
tions to Flagstaff They are at home
