Oil Prospects.

Interest in the oil wells has
again struck this section of the
country and considerable excite
ment has been stirred up over
the discovery of crude oil on the
north side of the Colorado river
near Lees Ferry. Oil was dis
covered floating down a creek a
mile from the source where it
seeped out of the ground. 1t
seems to be Of asphalt base and
burns readily. The discovery
was made about a month ago by
a man named Lee who brought
samples to Flagstaff. A COM
pany was organized composed of
S. S. Acker, George Babbitt, w.
G. Dickinson and Lee. An
engineer and surveyor was sent
over there to make locations and
further investigate the find. If
their report is favorable, work of
sinking wells will be commenced
this summer on the property.
Experts have long claimed
that there was oil in paying
quantities in that section of the
country but no company has so
far attempted to develope it.
A few good oil wells in this
section would materially advance
the prosperity of Flagstaff. =

The state tax commission in

Attempted Murder.

Last Friday evening about
7:30 p. m. w. W. Scribner made
a deliberate attempt to murder
Mr.. Nick Dovas, firing five shots
at his intended victim through a
window, but fortunately none of
them took effect. The origin of
the trouble dates back several
weeks when Scribner bought the
carpenter shop of Mr.. Dovas,
and trouble over payments due
have been frequent since.
Saturday afternoon another dis
pute arose which terminated in a
fight in which a few blows were
struck. Smarting under his al
legged grievances Scribner armed
himself with a revolver early in
the evening, and walking up to a
window looking into Mr.. Dovas'
room opened a fusilade with his
gun. At the second shot Mr..
Dovas fell to the floor, and the
other shots went wide of their
mark.
Thinking he had killed Dovas,
Scribner went to the home of
Leon Schmitz, and under pre-
tense that he wanted to attend a
charivari party, hired Mr..
Schmitz to take him in an auto
mobile, and borrowed his gun
and an extra stock of shells. He
also went to the home of Joe
Bauer and borrowed another gun.
After proceeding in the car as
far west as the round house
Schmitz asked how far they
expected to go. when Scribner
whipped out his gun, explained
to the now frightened driver
that he had killed Dovas and
wanted Schmitz to keep right on
going as fast as he could and he
would tell him when to stop.
After proceeding short distance
further Smitz, with rare pres
ence of mind, told the Graz
ed man that he could not go
much further without getting
more gas, and the man got out
of the machine so the driver
could return to town for gasoline,
threatening him as he started
away that if he was not back in
forty minutes he would kill Mr..
Schmitz' family.
Officers by this time were on
the trail of Scribner, and he was
shortly afterward picked up and
lodged in Jail, and the next day
he was given a preliminary hear
ing and released on a So, 500 bond
for attempting the life of Dovas,
and $500 bond to keep the
peace. The court also placed
Nick Dovas under $500 bond to
keep the peace.

Murdered in Mexico.

Mr.. w. G. Kelly, secretary of
the Elks lodge, is in receipt of a
letter, written by R. L. Estes on
board the supply ship "Glasier"
off the coast of Lower California,
giving a full account of the cold
blooded murder of Walter Wal
lace, a member of the local
order here, by some Mexican
bandits. Mr.. Wallace was we'll
known to many of our citizens,
as he was employed by the Santa
Fe as brakeman until he left
here few years ago for Mexico.
The facts as we gather them
from the writer are that on
April 18th Mr.. Wallace, accom-
panied by four other men, two
women and four children, start
ed from Acaponeta by handcar
to reach Rosario, where they
expected to take a train for
Mazatlan. When within about
five miles of their destination
they came to small settlement,
and leaving one man with the
women and children, Wallace
with three others started for the
village to try to arrange for
breakfast for the party. They
had only proceeded a short dis
tance when they were fired upon
from ambush and all four were
killed within sight of the balance
of the party left at the car. The
bodies were brought to Mazatlan
the following day for burial.
Mrs. Wallace is sti at Mazat-
Ian in almost destitute circum-
stances, as the bandits robbed the
party of all their valuables after
the murder.
