LONDONERs STATED ON LARD

London. June 24.-lR)-Skating on
artificial ripks was popular in Lon
don long before artificial ice came
into existence. The ice" at a rink
opened IS years ago was a COM
pound Of alum. soda and melted sui
phur. mixed with lard.
The surface was satisfactory for
figure skating. but ploughing through
the cheese-like substance was too
sShausting, save for the most robust,
and fall on the greasy rink was
ruinous to clothing.

 OF MURDERING WOMAN
In Latest, Wisconsin Man Says He Killed Bigamous Wife in
 Cold Blood

Lancaster, Wis., jan. 31 P-A desire to hide his bigamous mar riage to Mrs. Hattie Halns from his wife and children in1ucsd William N. Coffey to kill Mrs. tIalos as she lav asleep. he tod authorities in his third and latest ocufessions.
 After holding for several days to story that he accidentally killed the Corner La Crosse woman, who eioped with him 10 Winona last Sepiember, .hs itinArant bond sales mar brol. down under a fire of questions and admitted that he de- liborateiy plotted Mrs. Hales' death, A baseball bat and a hammer were the Instruments of death, he said. He converted to his own use $5.000 In securities which the woman pos sessed.
 Coffey's latest confession was given 70 Lyall Wright, the youthful sheriff of Juneau county.
 "I killed her deliberately; there was no quarrel" Coffey said In a whisper. T struck her first with the bas and then with a hammer we used to pound tent stakes.
 She was asleep in our camp in Bratton's Woods. I knelt beside her bed and there on my knees l lifted the bat and struck her across the temple. Then I picked up the ham, mer and hit again. It must have been the last blow which fractured her skull.
 T was afraid this bigamous mar riage would get back to my family in Madison. I murdered her and am willing to pay the price. I have tried my best to conceal the crime. I am guilty"

Bros. own the rest, to Jot B. Stiles of

er, Zarrel Stiles, in charge.
Johnny O'Farrell for the past seven
years had devoted his energies to
making Red Lake Trading post a
success. He and his wife by their
kindly hospitality have given Red
Lake an individuality which their
guests advertised afar Johnny put
in many modern improvements for
the comfort of his guests, besides
carrying on q lucrative Indian trade.
This is one Of the more famous
posts on the reservation, established
about 40 years ago by Sam Didden-
hotter whose violent death occurred
not so many years ago. Red Lake is
the scene Of part of seevral of Zane
Grev's better known stories, scenes of
which were filmed there recently.
Jot Stiles is part owner Of Shekayah
ranch and the Tuba Trading company
at Tuba City, devoting most of his
time to the live stock and Indian trad
ing part of the business, while his
partner, Jess Smith, runs the dude

expeditions of guests. Zarrel Stiles
was government stoclSman for the IN
dians at the Leupp agency.

GARBAGE DISPOSAL TO
START in CITY JUNE
FIRST SAYS COUNCIL

For the first time in its history
Flagstaff is to have a garbage dis
pogal system, it was decided at a
special session of the city council
held yesterday afternoon.
A three months contract has been
let to Al. J.. Sullivan at d stipulated
sum of $500 month to handle all
the garbage and rubbish in the city of
Flagstaff. Heretofore the only
method used to dispose Of garbage
was for each individual home owner
to take it to some convenient place in
the back yard until a sufficient
amount had accumulated to warrant
hauling to the public dumping
grounds south of town. This resulted
in an unsanitary and unsightly con-
dition and it was to alleviate such
that the city council took action and
secured Mr.. Sullivan to install an ade-
quate disposal system Particular
attention is to be paid by the health
department to see that people assist
the city in the plans to better sanitary
conditions.
Although the contract has been let
to Mr.. Sullivan for only three months,
the disposal plan is to be IL months
proposition, and will start June !
The garbage which can be used for
hog feeding will be hauled to Mr..
Sullivan's ranch near Lake Mary and
the balance will be disposed Of at the
public dump grounds.

Corello slept in rear bedroom.
During the meal, Mrs. Queseda said,
she smelled smoke and went to in
vcstigate. On looking into the bed
room where the two babies were she
was astonished to see the Corello baby
on the floor with box of flaming
matches and other burning material
nearby. The mother snatched her
own baby from the bed on the further
side of the room and removed it to
safety and then sought to get the
other child out. She was kept from
going back into the room by her
children who surged about her and
she ran to her husband, who was in
the barber shop in the front part of
the building. Mr. Queseda gave the
alarm and returned to the room to get
the Corello baby, but the flames were
then sweeping the room, making en-
trance impossible.
The body of the child when found
was partially underneath a table. 1t
was lying over a brace which was
about the bottom of the table, as
though it had made an effort to
escape the flames. The fire had char
red the brace to depth of half an
inch, but the spot on which the body
laid was still white and untouched by
the flames.
Mrs. Corello had brought her two
boys to the Queseda home while she
made trip up town. Her other child,
aged four, was eating with the Que
seda children and was removed to
safety with them.
just where the baby found the
matches has not been ascertained,
but it is thought they came out of
suitcase which was in the room and
which was burning at the time Mrs.
Queseda removed her own child.
The body was removed to the Flag
staff Undertaking parlors and burial
was made yesterday in the local
cemetery.
Sympathy is extended by everyone
to the grief-stricken parents of baby
Amanda.
The firemen made Splendid and
heroic efforts to save the little life.
They also deserve commendation for
the rapidity with which the flames
were extinguished so that an exani-
nation of the ruins could be made.
The burned building was just south
Of the American Laundry and on the
east side of South San Francisco
street. The property belongs to Bah
bitt and Taylor.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
UNANIMOUSLY ENDORSED
HIGHWAY BILL NO. l27

State highway house bill, No. 127,
as passed by the state legislature and
and vetoed by Governor Hunt, was
unanimously endorsed by Flagstaff
Chamber of Commerce at its regular
meeting Tuesday night at Hotel
Monte Vista.
There also was unanimous endorse
ment of the splendid work done in the
legislature by our three members,
Senator Runke and Representatives
Perkins and Slipher.
There was considerable discussion,
all of it favorable to the bill. It was
made plain that Governor Hunts and
State Engineer Lefebvre's desire to
bond the state for $10,000,000 for
highway purposes is not favorably
received here.
1t was pointed out that bill No. I27,
which it is believed by many the state
legislature will pass over the gov
ernor's veto when it meets again on
April 18, is entirely adequate finan-
cially to the needs of the highway
department. The provisions of the
bill creating a highway commission to
have general charge of the policies
and expenditures of the highway de-
partment, seemed TO be in especial
favor at the meeting.
AS was pointed out during the dis
cussion preceding the vote on endorse
ment of the bill, the chamber in
endorsing it is not injecting itself into
politics. The bill, it was asserted, is
the result of the careful thought Of a
big majority of both houses Of the
legislature, comprising the legislative
leaders of both parties, and was to be
regarded as an economical rather than
a political question.
Copies Of the resolution endorsing
the bill will be sent to our three mem
president of the senate, the speaker
of the house and the governor.

Local Radio Station
Heard at Cincinnati

Those connected with KFXY, Flag
staff's own radio broadcastfng station,
are wearing big smiles these days
following the receipt Of a letter from
Cincinnati, Ohio, telling Of hearing
concerts broadcast from the local
station.
The letter reads as follows: Dear
Sirs: Your programs have been very
fine and / have heard your station
quite few times this winter and
KFXY came in clear and loud here in
"Cincy." Please send me one of your
programs Vernon Water, Cincinnati,
Ohio. P. S. There was very little
interference"
The remarkable part of this re-
ception is the fact that the local
station is only rated at five watts,
although according to Cecil Walters,
the operator, it is overcrowded and is
broadcasting about Is watts. The
range Of five watt station is APP
proxinately $50 miles. Cincinnati in
an air line is nearly, 1000 miles from

COrbett Got Water
At 1880 Feet Near
Wupdtki Monument

Water at depth Of $50 feet was
found this week on the desert two
miles north of Wupath national mon
ument, according to r. B. Corbett,
county live stock inspector.
Considering the fact that it was
generally believed that this was inn
possible, this is an important develop
ment. MI. Corbett had sunk six wells
in an effort to establish a constant
water supply in this district where
Babbitt cattle of the CO-Bar herds
ranged.
Contrary to opinions of geologists
who stated that the volcanic origin Of
this country prohibited the holding
of underground water, Mr.. Corbett
persisted in his belief and his at
tempts disprove the theory. Water
is standing in this well in column
100 feet high, an even greater depth
than Mr.. Corbett had hoped for.

Flagstaff Again Tied For First
UncleD Dud Clay Pigeon Tourney

The unexpected happened. Through
Yuma losing last Sunday to Fort
Morgan, Flagstaff is automatically
elevated to tie with Yuma, Pres
colt and Denver for first place in the
Uncle Dud intermountain states tele-
graphic clay pigeon tournament.
The local scatter-gun men had Civ
en- up hope, renounced all claim to
first place. And here they are lacked
up by someone else's misfortune.
Flagstaff had a slump Sunday,
shooting tie with Sterling, a seq
ond division club. That tie and the
tie for first viii feature In next Sum
days shoot. There will be no trouble
disposing Of Sterling, as far as the
shoot-off is concerned. And our op-
ponent in the regular schedule is La
Junta, which club should give US no
trouble at all.
Phoenix goes against TT. Collins,
Denver against Longmont and Yuma
against Prescott. The dope now
favors all four Of the leading clubs
winning, in this the last Sunday of
the regular schedule. But Yuma has
no cinch and may drop to Phoenix, in
which case Flagstaff, Denver and
Phoenix will be left to shoot off the
tie, which probably will be done a
week from Sunday, though the exact
time will not be known until instruc-
tions come from the Denver head
quarters.
AS the French say, so expressiyely,
ooh, la, la, la!"
It's up to every Flagstaff man who
thinks he's got an eye to get out Sun
day and shoot. The first rs birds
each man shoots at will figure in the
results. We want five men who will
90 straight with their first 25 birds.
High wind is reported as the rea-
son Yuma lost Sunday. Well, il there
was more wind at Yuma than there
was III Flagstaff, the shooters Of that
southern inferno sure musta had to
tie themselves to the pegs when they
shot.
