CATFISH KILLS MAN
TRYING TO CAPTURE IT

Muskogee, Okla, Aug. 10
(UP)-The story of afatal
battle between Frank John
ston of Tehlequah, and a
huge catfish, was told by
members of the Johnston
family attending a family
reunion on the Illinois river
near Gore.
The group of about 25
persons was enjoying a pic
mic when Johnston spotted a
large catfish lettering in the
river. He volunteered to
captured the fish, describ-
ed as at least a 50-pounder.
He dived into the stream
to a cave under the river
bank. Those on the bank say
the water became muddied
by the struggle. In another
moment, Johnston came to
the surface, shouting for
help.
When he was dragged to
the shore, it was found a fin
of the catfish had pierced
his eyeball and had pene-
trated the brain.
The 31-year old man be-
came unconscious. He died
a few hours later in a hos
pital here.

Canal Breaks and Floods
McCellen Wash
Country

The heavy rain Saturday
night and frequent showers
until Monday filled the
washes and brought traffic
to a temporary standstill
causing much damage to
the highway.
The only road open Sun
day was the Florence enw
state highway.
A break was caused in
one of the spillways at Plea
cho lake and the flood
waters rushed down McClel-
Ian wash to the river flood
ing considerable of that
country north of the Cool
idge-Chandler highway. At
Borree's Corner the store
and other buildings were
threatened, but prompt
work in placing sandbags
and later blasting the high
way in two places the dan
ger was averted. Several
miles of the new oiled high
way between Coolidge and
Picacho lake were damaged
as part of the wash made
a channal of the bar pit of
the highway. The road was
undermined all along this
water course breaking off
pieces of the oiled roadbed.
1t is hard to estimate just
how much damage was
done.
The work on the Coolidge
Chandler highway was de-
layed several days and part
of the fills for the new
bridge at Mcclellan wash
were washed away.
Roadwork was resumed
Tuesday and the contrac-
tors are hoping they can
finish before another heavy

PROMINENT PIMA
indian IS SPEAKER
AT ROTARY LUNCH

Prof Johnson McAfee,
teacher in the Indian school
at Statonic, a full-blOOded
Pima Indian, in addressing
the Casa Grande Rotarians
at a luncheon last Tuesday
said that coodlng is the
greatest handicap suffered
by the Indians of the pres
ent day.
'The government in
Washington feeds the In
dian from his earliest days.
1t buys him clothes and
sends him to school. If he
gets a broken arm or leg, or
has the flu, the government
doctor takes care Of him.
Consequently. when he has
finished at the government
school he has not the slight
est idea of how to take care
of himself in the competitive
struggle of the world. AL
though he may have as good
a mind as his white brothers
and may have even eXcelled
them in his studies, he is
totally lacking in the impor-
tant habits of self-reliance
and initiative that mark the
whites civilization.
Prof. McAfee has for
many years been a student
of Indian conditions in an at
tempt to determine the rea-
sons why they as a race do
not make a more rapid pro-
gress in modern civilization.
and the above sums up his
conclusions, although he
pointed out that it took the
white man many hundreds
Of years to attain his present
degree of advancement, and
too much should not be eX-
pected of the Indians.
He put his theory of train
ing in self-reliance into prac-
tice mis- own family, the club
was told by its president,
Dirk Lay. He consistently
persists in refusal of all fin
ancial aid from the govern
ment, even in the case of
medical service. Twice he
has taken children to Phoe-
nix to have broken bones
set, rather than sacrifice his
principle of self-relance by
having the work done by the
government doctor at SAGA
ton. He plans to train his
Children in self support
while they are acquiring
b 0 0 k knowledge in the
schools; and he hopes to see
the day when Indians will
no longer be handicapped
by coodling during their
youth.

the affairs of the Arizona

There is a comparatively

Even in these warm"

the growing of oranges and
