 It was stated that there would De S30,000 of the state funds avail able next December for work in this county and it was thought wise to begin the work of construction. It was believed that the best place to begin was on Grand avenue at Glen dale, building toward Phoenix.

 A special feature will be the Ori- ental Ballet, which includes the Misses Erile Dameron. Marjorie Chlberg, Martha Casey, Cynthia Marian, Dorothy Pickrell, Hattie Snodgrass. Seraphine Renaud and Marie Felch.
 The play is one of Van Dykes best works and is well known and popular among the lovers of his writings Friday they will have the opportunity of seeing the parts act ed by local fayorites. The leading role Naaman. captain Of the armies of Damascus, is remarkably well done by Ulrich Thalheimer. who plays his part with all the assur ance of q professional. He has a wonderful voice and uses it with splendid effect The next part. but so well done that it is hard to choose between them, is Karl Ruppert, as the Rezin. the high priest. This is a difficult part and the interpreta ton shows the careful and intelli- gent study of the earnest student.
 Other male parts of importance are Benhadad. the aged king. which is well done by the popular president of the senior class.

 Murphy accompanied Topeek back to the Plaza and the tall Mexican was promptly pointed to as one of the robbers. When the officer ap- preached NalenZuela and told him he was under arrest. the prisoner began trembling with fear and was so frightened he could not speak. The identification by Topeek is the only circumstance on which ValenZuela is held. He fits perfectly the descrip tion of one of the men given by To- peek soon after the robbery. Topeek was bound with ropes after he was robbed. and during the scuffle, the masks of the robbers dropped from their faces.
 According to reports received yes tcrday at the sheriff's office, three other men are being held as suspects in connection with the robbery. It is said the three are in jail at Gila Bend Sheriff Jeff Adams and a squad of his men left Tuesday morn ing for the vicinity of the robbery. Officers from Gila Bend are said to be working the country from the op- posite direction Adams called by telephone late Monday night. saying he was stopping at ranch house and would proceed with the hunt in the morning but nothing was heard from him yesterday
