JUNK MAN ASSAULTED
Found in Franklin Court With
 Badly Battered Face.

E. A. Kopelovitz, junk dealer and rag picker of 517 North Main street, was badly assaulted this morn- ing about 80 in Franklin court. Af- ter the mans face was made to re- semble a countenance that went through the war, he was thrown among pile of papers where he re- mained for about twenty minutes be- fore the police station was notified. The man came by his injuries from a young fellow said to be under the in- fuence of liquor and who is thought to be Piggy" Blodgett. Although the listing bee took place in the alley on which fronts the rear of several stores and which can be seen by hun dreds of tenants who live in the vi- cinity as far as is known only one woman saw the assault. She told the detectives that the fellow who did the punching was about the size of--and looking at those present. pointed out John Whitehead of the American. She also declared he wore a blue blouse. Detectives Dodds and Colesanto. who with "Terry" Lynch were there ready for action, held a conference. Terry" disappeared for a few minutes and when he returned he brought the information that he was pretty sure who the fellow was. ''Terry" and Tom" then struck the trail of the bad man.
 The injured man said he was in the alley picking rags when fresh guy came along and asked him for a | match. He did not have one. With out another word, so he claims, a big fist connected with his left optic. His nose was the receiving end of the next smash. He said, q tried 1 to grab him by the collar, but he tore away and almost tore my face off, y pointing to bad gash on the left side of his face which was evidently the result of a mans nails. His upper lip showed that one of the jabs had i also landed there; in fact. his whole face was a sight. Before the man was taken home his left eye had more colors than a beautiful rainbow.

Richard Cooper Failed 10 Return
 With S1O Bill.

Richard Cooper was arrested this morning by Detective Keegan and is charged with embezzlement. Cooper, so the police say, has been selling store eggs but getting the price that it paid for strictly fresh eggs, deceiv- ing the people to whom he sold. But he might have continued to sell his eggs all right if yesterday he had not tried to get away with ten dollar bill. He entered the home of W. NJ. Hall, on Linden street, and after mak- ing a sale, went out to change a ten dollar note which the buyer had given him. He failed to come back. It is said that he worked the same trick in another place. last week, although the bill was only "V." Cooper says he was selling eggs to make enough money to take him to col lege.

It Is Prize Fighting and It Is Un.
 American, Declares Attorney.

Kankakee, H., Oct. 31.-Charging that football is prize fighting. Attor- ney s. R. Moore yesterday filed a bill in the circuit court for an injunction restraining high school students from playing the game.
 Moore declares that F. \. Tracy superintendent of public schools, and L. W. Smith, high school principal have aided and abetted prize fighting among students. that the game of football not only injures but demoraI- izes the student body, that the mem bers of the team use profanity on the field. and that the game is "degrad- ing, un-American, unchTistian and uncivilized."
 The case will probably be heard on next Tuesday.

 OPERATION.
(From Thursliay's Dd1y.)

Over twenty-six years after losing the sight of his right eye in pre- mature explosion in the Cincinnati mine, Mineral Park district, Mohavo county, Frank Marlow had the optic removed ten days ago.
 Marlow arrived here yesterday from Phoenix with a glass eye in place of tho one removed, that is almost coun' terpart in color and size of his left eye. After the accident in which he lost the sight of his right eye he experienced no pain until about six months ago, when tho eye became very painful to him.
 After the eye was removed, Marlow asked the physician to cut the mem Der open and learn the true cause oi the loss of the sight. The eye was cut open and small piece of bone, ap parently from some other part Of hl' face. was found embedded in it, sur rounded by Il crust in place of the usual watery substance.
 If is needless to add that MT Mar low. who is among the pioneer miners of the county, is enthusiastic over th' success of the operation.

"In the Verde Valley, Clear Creek and surrounding country, an agitation has started for local option election, and the matter of ordering tho election will come before the board of super. visors on August g." said Rev. Eugene Kecnc of Camp Verde Co n Journal. Miner man, last evening.
 "It will take n two.thirds majority to close tho saloons," he said, "but I believe that the good people of that country will vote in favor it, and that it will carry by safe majority. I ccr. tainly favor local option. l do not want 10 be quoted as saying that l am against man drinking liquor if he DO desires, at his own home, but believe that the saloon business is detrimental to the community in general.
 "Thc district involved in the cleo. ton will be about eighteen miles in length and about twelve miles in width. It will embrace Camp Verde, Middle Creek, Beaver Creek and Clear Creek, six townships in all. l anticipate that the board of supervisors will act favor. ably in the matter, as it appears to mo that the great majority of tho pco. pie of the sections mentioned favor it. ' Speaking of industrial conditions in the country surrounding Camp Verde he said that farmers and stock raisers were prosperous tnisN year, and that the alfalfa and apple crops were ss pecially good. Melons are now com mcncing to ripcn, and prospects ar, good that the melon crop will turn out much better than expected in the early part of the season.

 On the afternoon of July 16, Frye engaged the horse he rode away for man in charge of the stables that he wanted the same horse and saddle the following morning. He was particular in having n double cinch saddle for the reason, he said, that he expected he would be compelled 'to use n rope in capturing his own horse, which was loose in the mountains.
 Frye is a stranger in these parts, and is described as about 20 years of age, 3 feet, 8 inches in height, and smooth shaven. He weighs about l5o poun Is, and when last seen was dressed in blue overalls, light hat and blue coat.
 The horse is a bay, with white stripes in the face. It is snod with plain shoes and branded N bar on the left thigh, low down. It weighs about 950 pounds, and can also be identified by " scar on the left si 10 of the neck, and n kidney sore on the right side. It is not known what direction Frye rode when he left the city. Frye II alleged to have impersonated an Ari zona Ranger before he left the city.
