with those to be started with the

RANCHER KILLED THREE
NEICHBOR'S MACS FOR HOG
FEED, SHERIFF BELIEVES

Sheriff j., o. Parsons was called to
the camp of Tom Crockett, located
about rs miles southeast of Flagstaff
near the Jacks Canyon bridge, last
Friday morning on a complaint OF
horse stealing. Sheriff Parsons had
an interesting story to tell on his
return Saturday night. He was
caught in rain and snow storms and
in many cases nearly lost, on top
of which he had couple of experien-
ces with blind trails and detours. But
as the sheriff put it: Everyone had
a grand and glorious time"
On investigating the matter of the
disappearance of three horses from
the camp of Crockett it was found
that the animals had been shot and
loaded onto a truck. Sheriff Parsons
trailed the truck for ID miles and
located it and the bones of the ami
mails on the ranch of C. A. Louis.
Crockett identified the remains
through marks on the heads and the
age Of the animals. The carcasses
had been devoured by hogs, for which
purpose it was alleged the horses
were killed. Louis was non-commit-
tai when shown the evidence against
him but according to the sheriff q
complaint will be sworn out as soon
as travelling conditions make it pos
sible for Louis to come to Flagstaff

the score 34-34.
With one minute left to play and
each team fighting for an opening,
Detloff from center of floor, put
Flagstaff ahead with the prettiest
shot made this year.
The Flagstaff boys we're the first
to register a tally and each team put
up a fight for the lead, but the Teach
ers managed to hold their own and
had a one point lead at the end Of
the half, 1918. The second half
opened with New Mexico scoring
first and the lead changed from one
team to the other several times dur
ing the last half.
Wednesdays victory over New
Mexico marks the second one for
Flagstaff over This team. New Mex
leo was undisputed champion of Ari-
zona and New Mexico, last year and
should they win one game from the
University of Arizona in their series
Friday and Saturday, Flagstaff can
claim the collegiate championship
despite the fact that we have not met
the University of Arizona this year.

TLUO Girls Spent All
Night in Ford Coupe

Two Flagstaff young women spent
all night uncornfortably in a Ford
coupe on the highway 20 miles west
of Flagstaff, where they were STALL
ed in the deep snow Monday on their
way home from Phoenix.
Miss Katheryn Keller and Miss
Louise Wild had been in Phoenix
for the weekend. Miss Keller drove
her car. They didn't find the going
any too good, but got along all right,
though they lost tire chain, until
they got this side of Williams, when
they ran into heavy snow.drift.
Though they tried for some time
to break through they were unable
to and eventually became reconciled
to a night in the coupe. Both had
lightweight coats, the weather be-
ing so warm here when they left
that they deemed it unnecessary to
take heavier wraps. Next forenoon,
a travelling man, partly with the aid
of shovel, managed to get through
and they followed, arriving here
about noon, very tired and nearly
sick from the exposure.

TUBERCULAR CHILDREN
HOSPITAL TO GO TO CITY
THAT OFFERS MOST JACK

E. j. McCallum, Pittsburgh, Pa,
florist, spent Saturday and Sunday
here on his way home from a several
weeks tour of the west.
Mr.. McCallum is one of the princi-
pal proponents of the project to es-
tablish hospital for tubercular
children and is the principal adviser
of Mrs. May Benjamin Moran, who
was here for some time recently in
that connection.
A few weeks ago the committee in
charge of the hospital project chose
Flagstaff as the site of the proposed
hospital, giving assurance that it was
definitely settled, and all that re-
lnained to do was to organize for the
national campaign for funds.
In conversations between Mr.. Me-
Callum and officers and members of
Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce it
developed that the question of site is
again open. El Paso and Tucson
were mentioned as being considered.
1t is -intimated that both cities are
bidding for the hospital and that in
one instance $4,000 has been offered
as inducement to secure the hospital.
That this phase would develop had
been for some time suspected by the
Flagstaff people most closely in touch
with the project. In fact, request
for a guarantee Of $500 from Flag
staff had been Immediately followed
by another request that the amount
be $1,000 instead Of $500. So the To-
cal committee for the past three
weeks, since receiving the last re-
quest, had been playing a waiting
game to see what might develop fur
ther.
There have been further develop
ments, and it seems evident that the
location of the hospital does not de-
pend altogether on ideal conditions
for treatment of the little sufferers
but perhaps to as great an extent on
what city will pay the biggest price.
Therefore, despite Flagstaff having
been chosen as the location for the in
stitution, Flagstaff people may as
well realize now as later that there
is very little if any probability that it
will be located here.

BULLDOGS
FROM TEMPE HERE TWO
NIGHTS FOR REVENGE

Flagstaff basketball fans will have
their last opportunity to see Coach Fl.
Fl. "Swede" Lynch's wonder team
in action tonight and tomorrow night
when the husky Tempe Bulldogs enter
our camp for a two-game series in an
attempted Comeback"
1t is believed the Bulldogs will be
in such shape that they will give the
local boys two of the hardest games
they have had this season, having
spared no means nor the slightest de-
tail to condition themselves for their
attempt.
The Tempe squad is spurred on by
the defeat it received at the hands OF
Flagstaff the early part of the sea-
son, it being a decisive one and the
first loss to Flagstaff in any athletic
event in several years. In this game
the local boys had things about their
own way but since then Tempe has
gained considerable ground and won
several games.
Coach Lynch will take no chances
and will send in his entire first string
at the start. In order to improve his
squad, he has frightened considerably
the past week on his training rules
and will have the boys in first class
shape regardless of their hard game
here last Wednesday night with the
New Mexico Lobos.
Coach Lynch will start Detloff in
the pivot position, with Schlansky, J
Wilson, Mcclure and Kieren. In case
of any changes in the lineup, the
Flagstaff squad has strong reserve
of dependable material to fall back on

Major Midgely's Faith
in Flagstaff Decides
Him to Locate Here

Major w. w. Midgely of Clarkdale,
accompanied by Mrs. Midgely, are
spending several days at Hotel Monte
Vista.
The major and his wife intend soon
making Flagstaff their home and he
intends entering business here, partly
lish his 23-year-old son.
"Both my wife and I are in love
with Flagstaff" Major Midgely says.
when we were here some time ago,
Mrs MidgeIy said she would like to
live here, and told her right then
that she was going to. Flagstaff has
a wonderful future, because it has an
unbeatable climate and such wealth
of marvellous scenic attractions. Be
sides this it has great undeveloped re-
sources, as has the entire state.
Arizona stands today where Cali
fornia did twenty-five or so years ago.
In twenty-five years from now Ari-
zona will be much richer and much
more populous. The people who an
chored in California twenty-five years
ago and held on are sitting on top of
the earth now. Arizona offers the
same opportunity to the fellow who
anchors here now and stays"
Major Midgely said our new hotel
is just starter. Before long you
will have another new hotel," +" he said,
because as Flagstaff grows its need
will become as great as it was for the
one you have just built"
Flagstaff people will assuredly
make the major and Mrs. Midgely
welcome. Those who don't know them
when they do get acquainted will be
fond of them. And all who know
Major Midgely and the brainy, con-
structive work he did as the dynamo
of the Yavapai county board of super
visors, will realize that in his estab-
fishing a residence and business here
the community has acquired a real

Car Owners Backward
in Getting Licenses;
Delinquents Warned

On Tuesday, the deadline date for
securing auto licenses for 1927, rec
ords showed that less than one-half of
the car and truck owners in Coconino
county had complied with the edict of
officials and secured their plates. Up
until Tuesday afternoon only 925
plates had been issued at County AS
SCISSOR Howard Marines office, though
at the end of 1926 there were at least
2,052 motor vehicles in this county.
The unusual hardness of owners in
securing new license plates has prob
ably been due partly to this weeks
snow which has kept cars behind
closed doors. Mr.. Marine looks for a
landslide of applications as soon as
weather conditions moderate and
autos are again generally in commits
sion.
County and city police officials
have given notice that they will en-
force the February 15 rule. Those
who have not as yet secured plates
viii be warned to do so and if they
fail to heed the advice, arrest and
prosecution will follow.

Five Days Rain, Snow Ending
YesterdayDid VeryL
And Great Amount Of Good;
Heavy Over Most Of State

We had a fine storm, thank you.
1t began last Friday with a light
dry snow Saturday it was heavier,
not SO dry snow. Sunday it was still
heavier, just a little wetter snow.
Monday it was even heavier and wet
ter. Tuesday found it increasing in
volume and wetness. Wednesday it
reached the peak of both.
So it may well be called "prc
gressive" storm.
Also, it sure helped progress in
this community, county and state
"a million dollar storm"
Not referring to progress along
the highways. Because it didn't help
that so you could notice it. But the
good it did to the water supply and
the ranges-oh, boy!
Everybody's happy now.
It wound up early yesterday morn
ing in Blaze of glory-a real, live
thunderstorm!
The sun came out yesterday morn
ing, and though there were occas-
ional clouds all day, it could be seen
that if there is any more to the storm
it'll be only wee drop to taper off
on.
The total precipitation up to yes
terday morning when the clouds with
their golden lining began to clear
away was 4.19.
Some of the storm was rain. The
snow all except at the start was wet:
At no time was there freezing wea-
ther, so the streets were running day
and night.
IF that snow had been dry, it
would have been welcome but terribly
hard to get along with. Weather OBJ
server Walter Thompson says it
takes IA to 16 inches of dry snow
to make an inch of rainfall. That
4.19 precipitation by that same to-
ken, had it been in the form of dry
snow would have meant a minimum
depth on the level of six feet. With
the wind blowing as it did night
or so, some of US would have been
buried so deep it's a question wheth-
er it wouldn't have been cheaper and
more sanitary to have left US there.
For the first time in several years
the National Old Trails west of here
was blocked for more than four hours.
This time it was two days. The i'm
passable portion was a two or three
mile stretch between Bellemont and
Maine, where the wind Monday night,
playing with dryer snow than we had
here in town piled the beautiful into
the highway so deep that it took
two state highway caterpillars and
snow plows nearly two days work
ing from either end to meet in the
middle Tourists were held at Will

NEW MEXICO UNIVERSITY
HUMBLED SECOND TIME
BY FLAGSTAFF TEACHERS

For the second time this season
New Mexico state university basket
ball team succumoed to the disting
uished gentlemen at Flagstaff Teach
ers college. The other time was in
New Mexico. This time it was here
night before last.
The final was 1864, close enough
TO evidence to all who did not see
the contest that it was good to look
at.
On the first page of the second
section of The Sun is an account OF
the performances OF the sensation
al Flagstaff champions up to the
New Mexico game. Tonight and To-
morrow night Tempe Teachers col
lege will be here after revenge for
the drubbing we gave them early IN
the season.
To Detloff, tall rangy center OF
the Flagstaff aggrcg cgation, goes the
major part of the credit for defeat
ing the university five.
Getting out of sick bed with a
high fever, Detloff plz yed one OF his
best games of the sea son. With the
score standing 1928 in favor of Lo-
hos in the last few minutes Wilson
placed a free throw from the foul
line. Detloff, who had been hitting
baskets regularly during the even
was going to faint, would suddenly
ing. who appeared at times as if he
squirt. In the final moments Of play
he made every point to place Flag
staff Teachers ahead. Running with
the bali in his hands this flashy
center made a spectacular shot, plac-
ing the Teachers ahead S1-29. Next
NAV he made another goal from the
foul line and followed it up. with
two more free throws, making the
score 34-3O, Flagstaff leading.
