ARMIES WILL ENGAGE
 IN ANOTHER BATTLE

Jiminez, April g. Develop ments of the last few days have resulted tin a situation almost identical that existing just prior to the battle which ended in a federal defeat at Corralitos seven teen days ago. The federals, under the immediate command of General Tallez, are at Conejos, forty six miles south of Escalon, where the vanguard of the rebel army is located. The rebel com manding officers are Generals Campos. Argumendo and Murilo.
 General Salazar is expected here tomorrow and will resume charge of the operations in the south, while Orozco will direct the campaign from Chihuahua. If the resumption of hostilities depends on the initiative of the rebels there will be no fight for some lays.
 The federals continue the oper- ation of military trains between Bermejillo and Conejos and rumors come of the presence of government troops near Santa RosaIita. It was near this place the wires were cut last night on the railroad. The headquarters report regarding the enemy in that quarter discredited the wire cutting and attributed it to bandits. Orozco is yet in Chihua- hua and Campos in Juarez nurs- ing an injured limb.
 Mexico, April g.
 The rebel forces were routed from the city of Joiutia, Moreos, an important commercial center today and five hundred of their were killed in the battle, according to dispatches made public by the department ot the interior tonight.

H. A. Larson is Dead

Yesterday morning at 4::20 o'clock H. A. (Hook) Larson passed away at the Brunswick hotel, of which he was owner and proprietor. Heart trouble combined with a sudden attack of pneumonia brought about his death. He was i'll but a short time.
 H. A. Larson was born in Denmark in the year 1858. He came to this country with his parents when a small boy, the first place of residence of the family being in Utah. Mir. Larson came to Navajo county twenty-five years ago, and for many years was engaged in the sheep and cattle business. He was successful and accumulated a considerable fortune. About seven months ago. through a trade. he acquired the ownership of the Brunswick hotel, took possession, and has since been in charge of the place. He leaves three sons. two by his first wife, who was buried here a quarter of a century ago. and one by the surviving wife-a lad of four years. One of the two older boys is engaged in business at Globe, Arizona, and the other is in Denver. Colorado.
 Hook" Larson was an ex- ceptionally large, strong man physically and he lacked not in those qualities which usually characterize the Arizona pioneer honesty, energy and gener- osity.
 Funeral services will not be held until the arrival of the two sons, therefore it cannot be stat ed defnately what time the funeral will take place, but pro- bably not until Sunday.

Arizona's Postal Savings

Washington, April 2. On Jan- uary 31, 1912, there were 24 pos tai savings Repositories in opera ton in Arizona, with deposits amounting to over $177, GOO. This amount was deposited by. about 1900 depositors or an average of $148 per depositor. Since the opening of postal savings de- positories in Arizona there have been approximately 17OO accounts opened and more than 4500 de- posits made or an average of three deposits to each depositor. and about 130O withdrawals, or an average of less than one to each depositor
 Compared with number of de- positors and amount on deposit with other states, Arizona ranks thirtieth in number of accounts remaining open January 31st, and twentieth in total amount re- maining on deposit, showing that as compared with other states the average amount to the credit Of each depositor is very much higher in Arizona than is the average amount for the United States.
 Arizona is the 46th state in the union judged by population so that standing of Both in mum Der of depositors and 20th in amount on deposit puts Arizona in an exceptionally high standing when judged by per cent of population using postal savings as a means of saving and even better when compared with the amount on deposit.
