MRS. H. WARNOCK HURTIN EXPLOSION KITCHENRANGE CHRISTMAS MORNMrs. Henderson Warnock received

painful injuries on the body necessi-tating several stitches when a flyinglid hit her, when the kitchen rangein their home exploded at 8 o’clockChristmas morning. Mr. Warnockwas not in line with the flying scrapiron and the baby was still asleepin the bedroom.

That the house did not burn downwas a marvel as the explosion wreck-ed the kitchen, scattering fire andfragments of iron in every direction.Only the back part of the range wasleft standing.

The cause of the accident was at-tributed to the failure of a section ofthe -water pipe to drain when thewater was turned off the night be-fore, ice forming a dam to the steamwhen the morning fire was built.

The force of the explosion was sogreat that, though the kitchen doorswere tightly closed, soot filled thewhole house, even being forced intodrawers of the furniture and otherapparently tight places.

The kitchen will need considerableattention at the hands of plumbers,carpenters and others before the rav-ages of the Christmas accident willdisappear. Added to the terror anddiscomfort the water scattered overeverything froze. Mr. and Mrs. War-nock live at the L. E. Hart residence,West Cherry street.

’TWAS AN ELOPEMENTJake Bracker, who just got back

from a few days’ vacation in Texasand thi? week is hustling news andadvertising for The Sun, casuallymentioned Tuesday night to the mostsymphatetic looking fellow on thestaff that he was married last week.

Her name was Miss Grayce Mead-ows, whom he met here at summerschool in 1925, and who lives in ElPaso. •

They were married in Albuquerquethe day before Christmas, and Jakekinda admits they eloped from ElPaso, arriving in Albuquerque thatmorning and his wife returning 20minutes after the ceremony was con-cluded. She lias accepted a positionin old Mexico until next June 1, whenshe will come to Flagstaff, wherethey will live.

having drug interests in Douglas,Naco, Bisbee and Phoenix. She has

been teaching dietition at Hotel Dieu,a Catholic hospital at El Paso.

Jake went through the war, wherehe found hardships a-plenty, and ad-mits they were nothing to the good-natured razzing he’s going to getfrom his fellow' students and facultymembers, w’ith whom he’s ace-high,as he is with hundreds of Flagstaffpeople, who will join The Sun inwishing him and his bride all thehappiness and prosperity there are.

TWO SISTERS AND AUNTj OF MRS. T. 0. BELLWOODKILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT* Flagstaff people were deeply

| grieved over the tragic death a week; ago last night of two of the sistersand an aunt of Mrs. T. O. Bellwood

j of Flagstaff in an automobile acci-dent near Santa Fe, N. M.

The three, with another sister ofMrs. Bellwood and two young menwere on their way from Greeley,

: Colo., to Flagstaff. That they were; coming was being kept by them andMr. Bellwood as a Christmas sur-

! prise for Mrs. Bellwood and her mo-! ther, Mrs. E. G. Crawford who had! been here with Mr. and Mrs. Bell-

; wood for a short time.News of the accident came by wire

I Thursday night while Mr. and Mrs.| Bellwood and Mrs. Crawford wereI at the theatre. They left early nextmorning for Santa Fe and from thereaccompanied the remains of those

j killed back to Greeley, where thei funerals were held on Monday.

A broken steering wheel, slippery1 roads and an embankment broughtthe tragedy to the happy party, ac-

! cording to press dispatches. The ac-; cident occurred 10 miles from San-!ta Fe on the Albuquerque road.Those killed were Miss Edna Craw-

j ford, proprietor of the Classic Shopof Greeley; Miss Alice Crawford,

| special music teacher at Greeley, bothJ sisters of Mrs. Bellwood and daugh-

j ters of Mrs. Crawford, and MissClara Pearson, aunt of the girls.

The injured are Miss Mary Craw-j ford, another sister of Mrs. Bellwood,

! and Claude Fitze and Ben Gregory,j all three students at Greeley. Fitze’shome is in Phoenix and before leav-

; ing Greeley he wired his father todrive to Flagstaff to meet him. Thelatter wired back that he would be

i unable to because of the condition ofthe roads between Phoenix and here.

Neither Miss Crawford nor Fitzewere seriously injured, although

| they suffered severe cuts and for atime were threatened with pneumoniaas a result of the exposure. Gregory

! has a punctured lung and is reportedin a serious condition.

Fitze was driving the sedan. Hei said there was a catch in the steer-ing wheel or post which caused thecar to skid on a turn as they were

• approaching a bridge over a small| canyon. The car went over the em-i bankment and overturned. Mrs. Pear-! son and Edna Crawford were in-i stantly killed. Their necks were

1 broken. Alice Crawford died of ajfractured skull a few' minutes afterthe accident occurred.

! was 37, Alice 35 and Mabel, whoescaped all but slight injuries is 19.Mrs. Pearson was 61.

——oIT’S TRUE, TOO

A good friend of The Sun writes:“Would you like to hear some of

the things' that persons write mtheir letters about Flagstaff? This

, is one: ‘I am glad that you got goodi seats for Ben Hur. I hope the musici is good. The Sun said there would be

a special orchestra. Miss Costigan is

to be commended for getting such! good pictures for the people of Flag-staff. I believe that there is not an-other town in the west that gets thenew pictures as soon as Flagstaffdoes. She show's all up-to-date pic-tures and they are all first class,too. What an impression it mustmake on the tourists and other tran-sients. It is good advertising for

I Flagstaff in that it shows peoplej that the town is up-to-date and pro-

gressive. Miss Costigan is surely an; excellent business woman.’ ”

HIRAMS ENJOYED THESPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS

Capt. G. E. Damewood and Presi-dent F. M. Gold made the meeting ofthe Hiram club last Friday one ofgladness and Christmas cheer. Mr.Gold has the happy knack of puttingeveryone into a good humor withhis versatile wit and sober fun.

After a bounteous repast served inthe usual excellent style CaptainDamewood introduced Mrs. Jessup,who played beautifully a Christmascarol. Mrs. G. A. Pearson delight-ed with a fine rendition of “It cameupon the midnight clear.” Any pro-gram which includes these two la-dies is sure of success.

Clark Gramling spoke briefly onthe fine spirit of Flagstaff people,emphasizinz his experience here asthe finest enjoyed in his hotel con-struction woi'k anywhere. He urgedintensive advertising of Flagstaff’ssummer delights, especially to resi-dents of the San Joaquin valley. Mr.Gramling said he expects to makeFlagstaff his summer home.

Professor W. B. Niles of Teacherscollege made the Hirams realize ina speech of well chosen words andthoughts that “The Spirit of Christ-mas” is one of optimism, courageand the principal cause of changes incivilization from the hateful to thegood. The speaker pointed out howthe Babe of Bethlehem and all Hesignifies to men has brought a newvaluation of life, of womanhood andof childhood to the human race.Christmas day is essentially the dayfor the children. Due to the mater-nity of the Motherhood of God andJesus courteous regal’d for woman,the world has restored woman to herpristine glory as the equal of man.Due to Jesus’ teaching about life,men have changed their conceptionsof a man from being a mere chattel,slave or beast of burden to a valu-able divine possibility full of gloryand dignity. It is the spirit of Christ-mas which does these things.

Mrs. Vandevier and Mrs. Fair werecalled in from the shrine where goodthings are cooked to receive a smalltoken of the Hirams’ estimation oftheir fine care of the meals.

This Friday is a closed meetingfor the transaction of business andsemi-annual election of officei’s.

FLAGSTAFF MEN FREEDOF COTTONWOOD CRIME

John Dallies, who confessed to therobbery of the Norris Drug store inCottonwood early this month and an-nounced that all he wanted to do was

to plead guilty and “take his jolt,"was jolted into a term of from fiveto seven years in the state penitent-iary Wednesday by Judge RichardLamson of the superior court at

Prescott.Dallies, who talked freely after his

arrest and whose rather carelesschatter led to the arrest, had noth-ing to say when he was oentencedand did not seem either surprised or

worried when he heard the length

of the term he will have to serve.

He pleaded guilty to the robberycharge and admitted that he had en-tered the drug store armed with agun and had forced the proprietorto open the safe and hand out nearly$350, much of it in currency. Hewas arrested when he informed awaitress in a Cottonwood case thathe was spending the last of some“easy money” and was about to goback and get some more.

Two men arrested in Flagstaff aday or so after the holdup and heldin the county jail since charged withbeing the robbers, were released up-on Dallies’ arrest.

oPatrons of the postoffice missed
