LITTLE THUNDER IS
 TAKEN BY BURGLAR
(From Saturdays Daily)

The home of Mir. and Mrs. Sabin al POS South Alarcou Street, was visited by burglar yesterday afternoon dur ing the absence of the family, and while the crook made a thorough search of the house and turned things topsy-turvy, the only thing missed by the family was pockctbook con taining few dollars, the property oi Mrs. Sabin.
 The Sabins have boarding at their home a young automobile mechanic by the name of Milligan, and last week, several times a strange man came 10 the house and made inquir- ies about Milligan. the latter being absent each time the stranger called. Mir. Milligau could not recollect any of his friends who answered the dc scription of the stranger, and the family finally came 10 the conclusion that the stranger evidently had some sinister purpose in his calls at the house, and yesterdays occurrence seems 10 bear out the theory. It is believed that the crook watched the house until he was certain that all the occupants were away, and then made his raid.

SLACKER SOAKED
 WITH HEAVY SENTENCE
[From Saturdays DaiIy)

In pleading not guilty to an in- dictmcnt returned against him at San Bcrnardino, Cal, for cvading mili- tary duty, J. Gordon Wilson was tried and convicted of not register ing, and given a sentence of a veal and a day in a Federal prison.
 This news is of local interest, Will son being quite we'll known in this section during the crusade last Spring against the bootlcgger, when he was reported to be with d coast detective agency. In the trial given him in the above city the evidence showed that he was still following his favor itc pursuit, and he dwclt on the im- portancc of his detective work to SO, cicty by stating that he was so stren- uously occupied in hunting down blind pigs" in San Bcrnardino coun- ty that he forgot to register for mili- tary service. He said he was sorry, and so did the committing magis- tratc, but gave him the maximum sentence, due confessed stacker. He was willing to get in line, after the sentence was pronounced, but the in vitation was not accepted, and he will serve the time limit with other slack CTS from that section, there being five others in his class.

crete policemen, the whole effect would be to give our city the most beautiful and unique down town light ing system in the country, further, such a parking strip would reduce the cost of down town paving ap- proximately 20 per cent and would regulate the street traffic, absolutely dividing the flow of traffic in op- posite directions.
 Tt was further suggested to the City Council that if funds at present were not available for this whole work be immediately undertaken on Cortez Street from the Depot to the Plaza.
 At the conclusion of your Com mittee's call on the Council, the Council offered and passed a reso- lution to form joint committee composed of their committees on streets and finance to report on ways and means to carry out this project.
 The Council appeared favorably inclined to your Committees sugges- tions.
 q beg to add that almost the en- tire credit for the work of the Com mittee Is due to Mir. r. $. Viele and to MT. Floyd Williams.
 Respectfully submitted,

EARLY TRANSFER OF THIS
 REGIMENT IS ANTICIPA- TED BY MANY RELA- TIVES OF THE BOYS CO., ING TO CAMP KEARNEY.
(From Saturdays DaiIy)

That the early departure of the l5Sth Infantry from Camp Kearuey, Cal, to a new station is anticipated, is the conclusion drawn from the tenor of letters now being received in this and other sections of the coun- ty by relatives of the soldiers at that cantonment
 Significance is also attached to the early transfer of this regiment by many relatives leaving during the past week, and although no military orders have as yet been promulgated, it is reported, however, that before the first of the year will sec this Arizona command cn route for for eign station. The parents of one youth on leaving Prescott on Thurs day afternoon stated they were call cd to the garrison by their son to say farewell, and to carry to the old home in Italy remembrance of those who were in this country, in anticipation of the bearer of the tidings sooner or later being on the home soil of his father and mother.
 The l5Sth it is also reported is to be recruited at once to a war footing of l,S00 men, and when the order comes for moving less than 24 hours notice is to be given. The destina- tion will be carefully guarded also, and only those in higher ranks win be convcrsant with what service is ahead

Most of this acreage is in small sections. largely in mountain valleys The largest acreage by far is in the historic old Verde valley, cast and southeast of Jerome, where an elaborate system of irrigation dates back to pioneer times. In this valley and in the Williamson valley, much attention has been paid to the growing of fruit. particularly apples of the highest quality In the last state fair and in previous fairs, the county has led in its grading on hor- ticulturc. while Navapai county's corn took the first prize at the Wichita Farm Congress, year or so ago.

While travelling by team II dead steers were noticed by the side of the road and in making an examination Of the carcasscs it was evident from their appearance that all had perished from thirst and hunger. Many of the heads of the animals were swollen to abnormal sizes, due to eating prickly pears for the mois- ture contained. Goats arc escaping the severe drouth as they have the ability to procure food and subsist on very little.

TRAMPISH GOATS GET
 SHEEPMEN IN TROUBLE
(From Saturdays Daily)

Two of the Echcvicrrc Brothers oi
 Flagstaff, said to be among the wealthiest sheep owners in the state, were arrested near Kirkland ycster- day on a charge of stealing about GO head of goats belonging to II. F.. Sheppard of the Kirkland district. Ii seems that the goats had become mix cd up in a big band of sheep which the Echevicrrc Brothers were driv- ing 10 the valley for the Winter, and instead of cutting out the stray goats as the law requires, the men in charge of the herd allowed the animals to go along with the sheep, probably witL no intention of Thigh grading" tho beasts.
 Sheppard swore out a warrant for the men and they were arrested near Wickcnburg and brought to this city, where they at once gave the required bond. In the band of sheep which was moving southward, a number of trained goats were used as leaders, and it is probable that the goats own- ed by Sheppard took fancy to their travelling kinSmen and decided to fol- low them on their march. Stockmcn say. however, that in event stray ami mals are allowed 10 join a moving band of sheep or cattle, it is the duty of the herdcrs to separate the two brands and see that the stray ami mals are not allowed to accompany the movement, even though the strays did get into the band through no fault of the hcrders.

YAVAPAI MECCA
 FOR METALLIC THIEVES
(From Fridays Dailv.)

The wilful wrecking of mine plants and selling the material for junk has assumed a high handed state of af-
 fairs in this county, and the thicvery prevailing Is assuming a notorious situation as the practice continues. A local mine owner who is con versant with these depredations stat ed yesterday a fair valuation of the sums derived from this high handed proceeding would easily reach to Sl00,OO0 during the past Is months. He mentioned Is milling plants that have been stripped of all brass and copper metal, and in addition the wrought iron and steel of another eight mills had been broken up and shipped out of the country as junk.
 Two instances are known of where team pulled up to mill in broad daylight and the thieves worked free ly and openly as travellers were pass ing, unmolested. Prescott is not the only port of entry" of this metallic brigandage, but many stations along the line of the railroad are the re- ceiving point for shipments. The in duccmcnt for this wilful destruction is the receipt of requests from ma chinery houses on the coast and else where to secure this material, and cx- cccdingly high prices arc offered, one firm in particular going so far as to offer to pay for all expenses incur, red in wrccking, frcighting to the de- livery point on the railroad, and in addition would advance a good bonus on the gross weight, pay the freight, and close the bargain with a net price of as high as one cent a pound net
 The above informant also stated that there are fifty-hvc mills of diff fcrcnt makes, which are idle and un- used today in this county, many of which have no keeper It is known that thieves have stripped many of these and in their marauding had a free hand, the locations being iso- lated, and the mines abandoned There arc dozens of cases known where everything of brass or cop per construction in a mill or hoist, had been removed, and from proper ties which were situated near those in active operation.
 Another feature of the we'll man. aged system prevailing in thievcry is the report given almost daily at the present time from mine owners, who state they are subjected 10 losses of varied articles from their cabins while absent for short time, in which powder, food, and small hardware 1,r,.y.oy ,,-h., ,-,-,t,-n = .oI,xoj for a few hours. \ miner of Big Bug district, visiting the city on Wed ncsday stated he must hurry back" to his camp, anticipating that his property would be subjected to prey ing by the organized thievcry that is rampant at the present time.

COTTON SEED USED
 TO EATEN CATTLE

PHOENIX, Dec. 7.-All cotton seed produced in Arizona this year is being milled at the Arizona mills and the meal and cake sold only to Ari. zona feeders, according to an agree ment between dealers in the Yuma valley and the Salt river valley made by Timothy A. Riordan, federal food administrator for this state.
 Contracts with Texas and Califor. mia mills have been abrogated by Yuma dealers, and yesterday several carloads of seed intended for Texas mills were diverted to the Phoenix mills from Yuma. It is estimated that there are 10000 tons of cottonseed coming to. the Phoenix mills through this arrangement, and the product of meal and cake will be sold only to Arizona feeders. Agreements are on file in the food administrator office with both the Phoenix Cotton Oil Company and the Egyptian Cotton Company to buy the Yuma valley product at the current market price for cash, and the hulls, meal and cot tonseed cake from such seed will be marketed entirely within the state of Arizona.
 This is the outcome of the resolu- ton adopted by the stock feeders week ago calling attention to the dTouth and scarcity of stock feed, and asking the food administrator to keep all feed in the state. Alfalfa will come within this ruling, and dealers are asked to supply the local demands and the government first in order to save thousands of head of stock from perishing from the drouth which now threatens certain portions of the
