seeking to interest those who are pack Of the good roads movement Tn thls district in a project for the is- suance Of a map similar to that which Douglas issued. H. W. Ackland came 10 Bisoee yesterday morning and met a plumber of these people at the Brooks Cooper Furniture store where the matter was discussed. His plans are for map showing two easterly routes for the Ocean to Ocean High way, one from New York to Chicago. Kansas City to Fort Dodge, where the true Borderland Route map begins and the other from New York to washington, St. Louis. Kansas City Fort Dodge and including the Border land route. It would differ from the Douglas map further in that it would show the route to San Diego. instead of direct to Los Angeles. and from san Diego to Los Angeles. His pro lect met with approval but some de lay in the matter is deemed neces- sary.
 After Mir. Ackland had explained his project yesterday morning Dr Bledsoe called attention to the fact that the state engineer had writ ten 10 the secretary of the Commer. cial club that he would be in Bisbee the last of this week, that the matter Of course of the highway would then be discussed and afterward taken up with the Board of Supervisors and that until this was done his project could not be undertaken but that it would then be considered and prob ably with favor
 MT. Ackland showed some choice paintings he had made and also a Co chise County map of particular ex. ceilence with county scenes depicted in the border frame. His work creat. ed an excellent impression and when 1t is definitely determined how the state highway will run from this city to Tucson it is likely the map will be made as he suggested it.
 Following the meeting Mir. Ackland was taken over the local roads by J. R. Henderson and later in the day met other good roads advocates. leav- ing for Douglas on the evening train.

Frank Saman has a penehant for collecting cutlery. if one is to judge by the goods which were found in his possession when he was arrest ed by Officer Brooks at an early hour yesterday morning. He was a perambulating barber shop at the time he was taken into custody. His kleptomania did not confine his col lecting of souvenirs of Bisbee merely to razors and shears, but they were the chief component parts of his stock in trade.
 Early yesterday morning Officer Brooks met Frank Sanau on Brew cry Gulch en route to nis room. He was loaded down with clothing. and Brooks became suspicioGs. halted and arrested him. Saman made no de- mur at first, and upon being searched he was found to have about him, in addition to the clothing. sixteen ra- zors several pairs of scissors. small camera and more clothing than is needed at this season Of the year in southern Arizona.
 Further investigation followed the incarceration of the prisoner in jail where he was landed after some slight difficulty. The later inyestigaA ton showed that Jacks Barber shop had been burgIarized. and the varied assortment of goods had come from that place. Saman admits entering the place. and says that he effected his. entrance st a rear door about e:3O It is believed that he returned latet after midnight, and then took the goods. which were worth upwards Of SSO. at a conservative estimate He was on his way to conceal them in his room when he was encountered by Brooks. whom ne admitted he learned was an officer the day of his arrival in Bisbee last Friday
 In court yesterday, the prisoner waived examination and was held to the grand jury. He is expected to plead guilty to a charge of breaking and entering, after indictments ara found.

WOUNDED PRISONER FLEES DETENTION
Officer Stabbed, Rowdy Shot During Melee in Saloon
 at Clifton

Alfredo Ortiz, who three weeks agC stabbed Night Officer Gid Thompson in the shoulder, while resisting ar rest in La Favorita saloon, in Clifton and who in turn was shot by the of ficer three times, made his escape on Monday from the house where he has beOn confined, under the doc, tors care, since the shooting says the Era. ..
 Ortiz is at large with two bullet wounds in his leg and a bullet in his right lung. It is the opinion of the physician that the wounded man can. not live with the bullet in his lung if he attempts to make a long ride, or get out Of the district on foot. It is the belief of the sheriff's office that Ortiz had assistance from his rela- tives and friends and is in hiding in Clifton.
 The officers are working on sev- eral clues and still hope to locate their prisoner although several days have already elapsed since his es- cape
 Since the shooting Sheriff Patty kept a night guard on the wounded man but no guard was considered necessary in the day time as the con- dition of the prisoner was considered dangerous. On Tuesday a consulta- ton was held between Dr. Burtch and Sheriff Patty and it was decided that it would be safe to move the wounded man to the jail on the fol- lowing day. Information regarding the intentions of the doctor and sher- in is believed to have been conveyed to the prisoner. After the guard left Monday morning the wounded man with the aid of outsiGe assistance, succeeded in making his escape from the building sometime during the day.
 The officers believe he is hiding within the town limits where he is being cared for by his friends. A close watch is being kept on several Mexican houses by the sheriffs of- flee

PHOENIX SEES
 4. f. REPAIR SHOPS
Capital City Feels Certain Railroad Improvements
 Will be Ordered

PHOENIX, Aug. 7:-Superintendent c. M. Scott, of the Arizona Eastern railroad, received a telegram late this afternoon from the New York headquarters of the Hartman lines to prepare to start immediately the taking of quotations on the work in- volved in constructing divisional shops here.
 The railroad proposes to build the largest shops in Arizona, being a general shop and doing repair work on all classes of the Arizona & East ern's rolling stock. A huge 2O-stall round house is to be bunt in con. neetion with the shops.
 The shops will be situated on the old Bouvier ranch" of 16O acres, which was bought by the company about three years ago for this pur. pose.
 Quotations have already been ask ed on ten miles of piping for the shops water supply.
 The shops will be ready for occu- pancy about the first of next Febru-  ary, and although there has already been an appropriation of nearly half a million dollars to start the work, the shops will all be built so that 1t will be easy to add more to them.
 Chief Engineer Jones of the Ari- zona Eastern Is now on the job here taking quotations and drawing up the plans, which have not all been entirely completed as yet.
 The shops will be about mile east of the present shops, and it is believed that over a thousand men will be employed as they open up.
 This means a great boom in Phoe- nix real estate, and those already owning land in Phoenix are in on the ground floor. This enterprise will, when completed. be the largest in- dustry in Phoenix. and is really the first step forward for Phoenix ad- vaneement. With a few more enter prises as this is bound to be. Phoe- nix Is sure to pass the 50.000 popula- ton mark.
