ALWAYS IMPROVING

Howdy, Folks! Do you know that
Summer has arrived, and that your
editor of the Tribune does his best
work in the Good Old Summer
Time?" This is because OF the TACT
that others are inclined to slow up,
mad we break away from the crowd
and put our best foot forward.
We have some snappy new fea-
lures that will be added to your pa
per, and the first release will appear
in our next issue. 1t has cost con-
siderable money to bring the Trl-
bune up to the standard that we felt
our readers demanded, but nothing
is too good for the patrons OF this
paper.
Our motto: Always Improving,
is the guiding principle in conduct
ing The Tribune, and we seek con-
stantly to make worthwhile improve
ments that we know you will ap-
preciate. No one cares for heavy
shall make the news items in The
Tribune compare favorably with
your diet-something tempting, ap-
petizing, light and refreshing.
There is no better test of a pa
per's popularity than the eagerness
with which it is received by the
readers. Judging from the interest
shown in The Tribune by its many
readers, it is now more popular
among them than at any time during
it's Ten Years existence in Phoenix.
We appreciate the keen interest you
show in the paper, and shall 1ot be
content to rest on our 1aurels, but
will strive to make each issue just
a little bit better, more interesting
than the one which preceded it.
Phoenix tribune., 1927-07-01

Now for a big semi-monthly pay
roll and Phoenix will be in a class
all by itself. Although we have the
$2,OOO,OOO Roosevelt hotel, the Echo
Canyon Bowl and other noteworthy
enterprises, lone thing likest thou
yet" Phoenix must and will have
a big semi-monthly pay roll.
Phoenix tribune., 1927-07-01

Time is money, and some of us
spend one as foolishly as the other.

CHAPL LIN IS
SUED FOR
DIVORCE

BY international News Service
Los ANGELES, Jan. IL
Charging extreme cruelty, Mrs.
Lita Grey Chaplin, wife Of
Charles Chaplin, famous film
comedian, today had a divorce
suit on file against her hus-
band.
The Chaplins were married
at Empalme, Sonora, Mexico,
on November 25, 1924 They
separated about two years later
on November 80, 1926.
Fortune Tied Up
The 42-page document fairly
dazzles with phraseoiogy seldom
seen in print, and In addition, the
giant fortune OF Chaplin, estimated
conservatiVely at over $4,000, 900,
including realty as well as movie
properties, is tied up by the wife.
An Injunction has been granted
dependent upon the result of the
divorce action, with Chaplin or.
dered into court January II. to ex-
plain, IL he can, why receiver
should not be appointed to direct
the destinies Of his business.
Following demand for the Gus
tody Of the two children, Charles
Spencer Chaplin, jr., 1s months
old, and Sidney Earl, nine months,
Lita Grey Chaplin seeks maintei1-
ance, counsel fees, and money to
cover the support and education
Of her two sons by the comedian.
Accusations Listed
An affair under promise of mar
rage, public humiliation, countless
kinds Of insult, and Chaplin's un.
welcome reception of both children
at birth are few OF the highlights
OF the wife's elaborate complaint.
She states unequivocally that her
married life with the great film
star was unconventional from the
beginning Of honeymoon, at which
time Chaplin is alleged to have
said:
'Thfs marriage won't last. I

President Coolidge's. special
message to Congress was &C.
cepted on all sides today as
constituting a blunt warning to
Mexico to keep "hands off"
in Nicaragua-and q warning,
too, that is backed up by the
presence of Is American war
ships and 5000 marines and
bluejackets In waters adjacent
TO Mexico.
All Washington today was
looking to Mexico City for the
expected 'scome back" of
President Gales. He knew
nothing of the message until it
went to Congress.
1t is anticipated that Gales will
make q vigorous reply, setting up
the contention that Mexico is
sovereign power, and that she has

4 DEAD: I HUR I
IN 6 AS " Ell
BLAST IN TEXAS
Flames Shoot 200 Feet In
Air, and Earth Vi
brates for Miles

SANFORD, Texas, May 26. P-A
roaring pillar of flame tonight stood
guard over the million -cubic-foot gas
well which exploded here today and
killed four, injured seven and put
two others on the list of missing, to
be accounted for definitely only when
the well is eXtinguished with ex-
plosives tomorrow afternoon.
Only one man tonight had entered
the burning well crater. He was
"Tex" Thornton, a well-shooter for a
torpedo company, who is widely
known through the oil belt. In a
fireproof suit, Thornton pushed
through the furnace of fusing earth
and peered into a hole he found
forming about the bore of the well.
He saw no bodies, but if there are
any they have fallen into the hole,
he reported.
Meanwhile the little oil town was
frantically removing it's frame build
ings from the vicinity of the blade.
Teams and tractors dragged some
away on skids while the sca.lty water
supply was played over others in the
houe of preventing their catching
fire. The dead and wounded had
already been removed to Berger and
every effort was bent on saving the
well and recovering the missing.
The dead:
Jack Daniel.
E.. l.. StillWagen.
The seriously injured:
Elmer Richards, Lester Nelson, G.
II, -1Je
Evans.
The death well is known as Nc
MILAN No. /. Workmen were in the
act of withdrawing casing to probe
the oil region when the explosion oc'
Cured. It's cause had not been de-
termined tonight.
Flames from the well were shoot
ing 200 feet into the air tonight and
the earth shook and vibrated for
miles, adding to the terror of the
women and children hastily fenced
away from the scene of destruction.
Meanwhile, preparations were 60
ing forward for shooting the well to-
morrow afternoon, which Thornton
set as the earliest it could be at
tempted with hope of eXtinguishing
the blaze. Much explosive and live
steam will be required to effect the
desired result and failure will mean
a long delay, it was explained.
1t was practically definitely estab-
lished tonight that there are at least
two more bodies in the well, but they
cannot be romved until the blaze is
extinguished. Their identity had not
been established.
