POST OFFICE BUSINESS
 FOR FIFTEEN DAYS
An Increase of More Than Fifty Per
 Cent for the Period

If the postoffice figures are any ln- dcation, there has been an increase of business and population in this city in comparison with similar period last years Receipts from the sale of stamps and from other sources for the first fifteen days of March amounted to $6.56l.l1 For the first fifteen days of March a year ago the receipts were $4.34S.72, gain of $2.212.39.
 No unusual conditions are responSi- be for the increase. Nothing extra ordinary has happened in Phoenix during those fifteen days to swell the postoffice business.
 A step has been taken at the post office to improve the carrier and the rural delivery service. George F.. Der " has been appointed to new posi- tion. that of foreman of the carriers He will accompany each of the car riers on his route and arrange for the installation of proper receptacles for mail matter and otherwise order such Improvements as may he necessary to facilitate the service.

 FOR THE CELEBRATION
A Zig Barbecue at Roosevelt Dam Is
 Suggested

The Water Users Association IS great barbecue to he held at the dam site. But President orme of the Water Users association says that It will not be practicable or safe to hold it at that point for lack of room If a great number of automobiles are parked in the vicinity of the hotel as it is expected there will he. there would be danger that members of the throng would be crowded into the lake. Such a feature'of the celebra- tion. Mir. Orme said, might he held at New Town. about two miles above the dam.
 The suggestion has been made that freight wagons be kept off the Roose- welt road for three days. one before the celebration and the day after But that proposition is not looked upon with favor The freighters have buSi- ness on the road and not only they but many others would be seriously in commoded by such a side tracking of business for pleasure.
 Though the committee in charge of the affair has not been definitely in formed it is expected, or. at least. hoped that Senators Smith and Ashurst will be there. Representative Hayden is certain to be one of the guests.

MEXICAN HAD PLANS
 FOR ESCAPE SPOILED
Man Who Had Killed Companion Comes to This City; Turned Over to Sheriff's Office by His Companions

Juan Anaya, the Mexican sheep ican Thursday morning during a quarrel over some sheep. had his plans for escaping the. law badly frustrated yesterday morning. when he confided in friend who was bringing him to this city that he had killed man the day before, and was then in the act of escaping. The friend who had a wholesome respect for the law. collared him and brought him into the sheriff's office. gun and all. and turned him over to Deputy Sheriff Ed Luke. who placed him behind the bars.
 After killing his man with a Win chester rifle, Anaya footed it for 33 miles west to the New River, where another Mexican was in a sheep camp. Arriving there. he told his friend that he was sick and in inn mediate need of medical aid The man to whom he had applied for succor, responded to his plea, and secured another horse from neigh
 
 horse. started for Phoenix.
 They left there about eight o'clock in the evening and arrived here the next morning at ,. They drove their team to the Star corral and were unhitiching when Anaya told them his plea of being sick was d hoax and that he was escaping from the law.
 The other two men with him took his gun awayf from him and forcibly persuaded him to accompany them to jail. where he was turned over.
 The crime was committed in Yava- pal county, and a posse of deputies were then out looking for him. The sherlffs office there was notified that their man was in jail here ami awaiting their call
 It is the opinion of officers here that it would have been an easy matter for Anaya to have escaped if he had kept his own counsel as to his reason for coming to this city. The fatal impulse that leads criminal to commit one little act that eventually brings him to justice was all that made possible his ap- prehension
 He will be taken to Prescott today by a deputy who was in the city yesterday with a convoy of prisoners for Florence Shortly after his ar rest he confessed to the killing and gave the officers a signed statement telling all particulars of the tragedy.
