Worst Dust Storm
Hits This Section
And Balks Traffic

By far the severest dust storm
that ever occurred in this section
of Arizona prevailed for more than
five hours last Monday, beginning
at about o'clock and lasting un-
til about 7 o'clock, when a gentle
shower came down.
At least two dozen automobiles
were caught in the dust trap in
and about the vicinity of the eleven
mile corner. The dust in that COM
munity was greater than in any 9TH
er section The Examiner has a re-
port on, due, it was said, to the
fact that there were more freshly
ploughed acres there than at other
places
More than a dozen cars were
damaged, some very badly. The w.
T. Mckinney new Pontiac was
crashed into, the radiator was caved
in and it's tenders twisted out Of
shape.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. Lenter and Miss
Louise Stevens, all three residents
of Mesa, were in the clashes and tie
two women had to be sent to a
hopsital at Casa Grande for surgi-
cal attention. Two men on the way
to Tucson removed a purse from
their car that contailed travellers
cheques in the sum of $780, but they
came back to Coolidge and returned
the purse and it's contents to Miss
Stevens according to Constable Ed.
E. Stringer and Deputy Sheriff Asa
Gardner.
Fowler Hood and his son Frank,
of Coolidge, were returning from
Tucson, and when they ran into the
dust storm they left it and went
east over a dirt road. Hood said ne,
got out OF the heaviest volume or
dust, but said he could not drive
more than three or four miles per
hour.
The Dodge pickup owned by Ben
DillenbeCk of the Coolidge Weld
ing & Tractor Works here was hit
headon by a car driven by a state
highway patrolman. Both machines
were damaged slightly, the state
car getting the worst of it. Many
cars had to be towed in Tuesday
morning, and some of them were
so coated with the dust that they
were hardly recognizable by their
owners.

sixteen months ago, from Albuquer.
que, N. NJ, and brought with her

much appreciated in Coolidge. Mrs.
