Bookkeeping by
 Machinery Will
 Save Mam[power

Bookkeeping by machinery. That is the latest way to save manpoWer and of the most interesting install Iations along that line is the one put in operation this week by the Phoe nix National bank. The change was made over the dual holiday which inauqurated the week for the trans fer of thousands of accounts from hand kept to machine kept forms was truly stupenduous task even in the double holiday.
 Few realize the immense amount of work expended in keeping books and of course banks in common with other lines have their troubles in keeping up with business when so many skilled men are called or vol unteer for war work. The machine bookkeeping, which is done by four power propelled devices, saves much time besides being so perfect in me chanicaI check and design as to make for accuracy. Aside from the human liability to ms-post book the ne wsystem cannot possibly make a mistake and greatly reduces the work of the bank thus freeing men for service. In addition, the sys- tenn is so simple that women with little training could operate it if the supply of skilled men should grow shorter.

ASSAULT CASE WILL
 JET PRELIMINARY

On charge of making a demonstra- ton with revolver and threatening the life of J. l.. Berry. Albert Martin was yesterday held by Justice DeSouza for preliminary examination in the sum of $500. Martin furnished a cash bond and then wanted to know what about the revolver which had been seized by the officials at the time of the arrest. Could he not have that while out on bond? Certainly not, re- piled the court. That was hardly fair thought Martin. One might meet up with people of evil intent and need it mighty bad.
 Berry told the court that he went to the Perkins ranch where Martin is em ployed to get a ring, a book and a ra- zor which were in the possession of Miss Grace Royance who was stopping at the ranch. This property Berry said, belonged to one w. F. Case While he was talking to Miss Royance, Berry said Martin emerged from the house with revolver. pointed it at him and threatened to let it go off. He also said something about killing Case.
 Martin told quite different story. He said that on his return to the ranch he saw Case in the road a. short dis tance away and that he threw the re- volver into his buggy. thinking that he might have to use it in self defense But he said he didn't point the weapon at Berry or threaten to kill.
 The very brief proceeding of the ar raignment did not bring out the real rause of the trouble, though the aprar- pntly irrelevant fact was brought cut that Case who has been incidentally mentioned is a man who was arrested by the United States authorities some time ago for white slavery. on the com plaint of Grace Royance.

From window and loop hole the defenders put up brave fight, shooting down score of MeX1cans until their ammunition is almost eX- hausted and nearly everyone is suffer- ing wounds.
 Their fate seems sealed when the rancher's daughter slips from the house unobserved by the bandits and, 1 riding across the prairies, returns with a troop of United States cavalry just as the outlaws set fire to the house. The latter are quickly routed and flee to the mountains, where they run into | a band of vigilantes and are eXterml- mated and their leader killed.
