FTDEL BACA SHOOTS DAN
 PITZEL

Yesterday about noon Eide Baca fired five bullets from 38. 'calibre revolver at Dan. Pitzel. Four of the bullets lodged in Pitzel's body, two in each leg, below the thighs. Immediately after the shooting Baca hunted up Undersheriff Harp, surren- dered his gun and asked to be placed in jail. He was accomo- dated by the sheriff and he will remain there until the probable result of Pitzel's injuries are as- certained. Unless blood poison ing develops no serious results are anticipated as the wounds are in the flesh and no bones are broken.
 A complaint charging him with shooting with intent to kill has been lodged against Baca by County Attorney Larson.
 The shooting occurred at one of Rabbit Bros. warehouses. Pitzel was unloading cement from his truck when Baca came upon the scene and started al conversation with him. After a few words had passed between the two men Baca drew a gun and started shooting. The first shot missed. but the other four found their mark.
 Hot words had passed between the two men on a former occa- sion, which had been brought on by discussion of family affairs.
 Baca will be given a prelimin- ary examination before Justice Boyer today.

MINING MAN
 BOOSTS HOL-
 BROOK FIELDS

H. A. Burt. formerly with tn Goldfield Consolidated in Gold field, Nevada, when that famouI company was piling millions il the laps of it's stockholders, anC who recently honored Holbrool with a visit, is loud in hls praise of the oil possibilities here.
 In a recent letter to a friend he says:
 That the Holbrook field has
 excellent possibilities for the
 production O f petroleum
 there can be no doubt. While
 1 went there recently, en-
 outraged by the endorsement
 of c. E. Major, whom 1 have
 known for some years and
 whose integrity and ability
 no one can question. in re-
 ality I found the field deserv-
 ing more than he has said
 about it; and before the next
 twelve months 1 believe that
 the Holbrook field will dem
 onstrate to the world that
 the opinion of the several
 geologists who have endors-
 ed it will be found to be ab-
 solutely correct. "
 MT. Burt is now connected with the Hidden Treasure Min ing Company, whose property is near Prescott; but this company like a great many others at the present time, has suspended operations until conditions be- come more normal, MT. Burt intimates very strongly that he has about determined to jump into the oil game at Holbrook and it is quite likely that he will induce some of his mining friends to join him in such a venture. He is one of the best known men in the mining busi- ness and 94 with the Wingfeld interests, she most successful in Nevada. for about eight years. and for twelve years prior to that service he was with D. c. Jackling. His favorable com ment on the Holbrook oil field will have great weight in the oil and mining circles.

Practical GeOIOgist Brought
 Here by Adamana Oil Co.

Col. J. A. Pufinburg, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, has been in Holbrook for several days look ing over the oil field with w. J. Hennessey. managing director of the Adamana Oil and Land Go. Colonel Pufinburg is one of the best known and most successful practical geologist ia the country. During an ex- tremely busy career he has been connected with the Standard Oil Co.,, and the Union Oil Co.,. be- sides a number of corporations of lesser note. Some of the largest and most productive fields in Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, Oklahoma and Texas were indorsed by him and their development was due to his eff forts.
 For a number or months Col. Puffinburg has been engaged in developing the Seven Lakes dis trict in New Mexico. As soon as his business there is finished he will come to the Holbrook district and will assist the Ada mana company in getting their field operations under headway.
 Colonel Puffinburg uniformed the editor of the News yesterday that the Holbrook oil field looks very promising to him and he has but little doubt that oil in large quantities will be found when wells are sunk.

 Remain in HOIbrOOk

Dr. A. F. Switzer returned Tuesday night from Clarkdale where he had spent three weeks Investigating a business propo- sition offered him by the Clark copper interests. Dr. Switzer's investigations convinced him that there was nothing better in Clarkdale than in Holbrook and he has definitely decided to re- main here and continue the practise of dentistry. His many trends and patients will be glad to know of his decision.

 Harry Matthews. represent ing eastern capitalists, spent the past week here studying the oil field. He was shown around by Frank Paddock. an old ac- quaintance now engaged in the oil business here. This is MT. Matthews second visit and just before leaving he promised 8 third visit very soon. He was evidently pleased with every thing he had seen, remarkinR that it was his opinion that the reports of a well-known geolo. gist noted for his conservative statements but who in his re port on this field unhesitatingly endorsed it, did not go fal enough to do it justice. These are very strong words and com, ing from a man of MT. Mat thews' high standing will dC much to strengthen and spread to other sections the conviction of our people that a wonderful oil field will be brought in a Holbrook.

Interest in HOlbrOOk
 Oil Field Is Unabated
New Converts Are Being Added Each Week. Experienced Oil Operators and Geoogsts Are Unit In Their Endorsement of the Field as Probable Bonanza

Manager of Holbrook Oil Com
 pnny Returns from Business
 Trip.
 Jack Marden returned Thurs day after spending two weeks in Prescott and Jerome on Hol- brook Oil Company business. He says that the threatened strike of miners in the Jerome district is uppermost in every one's mind, but it is believed trouble will be averted through the action of the government in advancing the price of copper to 26 cents. A government medi- ator is on the ground and it is hoped that within the next few days there will be a satisfactory adjustment of the difficulty. MT. Warden says that under normal conditions Jerome is one of the greatest mining camps on earth. The activity is remarkable and without question it will soon rival Butte. He has travelled the western mining country very extensively and has been in on practically all the boom camps of recent years, but each visit to Jerome is a revelation. It is based on a substantial founda- tion that nothing short of an act of Providence can upset.
 The new shelter was blown in recently but mechanical adjust ments will delay some ten days more the putting in full commits sion.
 Prescott, like Jerome is on the upward trend. Old Fort Whip I pie has been selected as a hos pital for tubercular soldiers and the government is spending huge sums of money in remodell- ing the present buildings and in erecting new ones to care for our invalid fighters. The new shortcut road from Prescott to Jerome is now assured, reduc- ing the present distance of 66 miles to about half that distance.
 Er. Marden before returning paid visit to the Chino oil fields and found three rigs at work boring for oil, with splendid in dications of developing an oil field. The operators are very much encouraged over the re- suit of operations up to date. oil men are very much interested in their sister field and wish for it the same degree of success that they anticipate for their own field.

County Merchants Form
 Conservation Association
Dealers in Merchandise in Navajo County Organize to Assist the Federal Food Ad- ministration in Conserving Food

Tuesday morning in the direc
 tors room of the Merchants &
 Stockgrowers bank preliminary
 steps were taken to organize
 the merchants of Navajo county into an association for the pur-
 pose of working in harmony with the Federal Food Admins stration for Arizona in eonserY- ing food. Fred J. Elliott of Phoenix, state chairman, ex- pIained the operation of the card system which is being voluntari- ly adopted by merchants in near Iy all the counties of the state. This plan has not yet been ordered put in force by the gov ernment, but such action by the federal food authorities may be expected at any time. In order that the merchants of Navajo county may be ready for the contingency when it arises, they deemed it advisable to adopt the plan before it's enforcement was ordered.
 Present at the meeting Tues day morning, besides MT. Elliott, were J. w. Doris and Al Roca, of Phoenix. MT. Doris is state representative. MT. Roca is field inspector for the state and his duties are to see that every merchant in the state complies with the food regula- tions. Many of the local busi- ness houses were represented in the meeting and as a result the Navajo Dealers Association" was organized with the follow ing officers: L. R. Gibbons, chairman, and ". J. Hookway,. secretary. An executive com mittee was chosen composed of Jno. R. Hulet. Adolf Schuster and L. E. Carron. The secre- tary's salary was fixed at $25. co per month.
 Below is publised a list of business houses that are eligible to membership in the association and also the amount which each will be asked to pay to defray the expenses of the organization. Those whose names are printed in this list may forward their prorata share of the expense to w. J. Hookway. Holbrook. Ariz. The list of eligibles follows:

Frank Turner, who has been associated as consulting engi- neer with many large companies in this state and Nevada. is one of the important personages who have come in the past week. He has been quietly absorbing all the facts in connection with our oil field for presentation te his principals. and has made several trips through the field to acquaint himself with the geology of the structure.

Government Will Assist
 Oil Men With Supplies

Oil producers are to be favor. ed with the strong arm of the government in their efforts tc secure steel and oil well supplies ample for their needs. This ap- plies to new as well as old fields and is an indication that it is the intention of the Fuel Ad- ministration to foster increased production in every way it can. Had the scarcity of material not prevailed many more wells would have been sunk and much more oil would be at the com- mand of the government. It must prove a great relief to the oil men to know that the govern ment is to back them in their efforts to whip up on produce ton by seeing to it that delays cannot be traced to inability to get material.
 The fact is becoming more evident daily that this country dare not rely on the future as much as it has in the past on the production from Mexico and that an attempt is being made to bring our production up so that no matter what may occur in Mexico it will in no way seri- ousIy effect our oil fuel supply. The recent movement in Hol- brook is one example of what oil men are doing in many parts of the country in their endeavors to open up new and promising fields. It is hoped that the shal- low sands here will yield sufici- ent oil to enable it to be said that Holbrook is doing it's bit. The men who are going to drill predict. that the lower sands around 1900 feet will open up a wonderful reservoir of oil. If this estimate proves true HoI- brook will be the greatest mag net in the oil world because of the great area covered by the oil structure and by reason of the high grade of oil it will pro- duce as evidenced by tests of sand taken from various points near where drilling is to be done.

MAKE CHANCES N
RULES Of Church
Marriages Between Catholics
are Permitted During
Lenten Season
NEW CANONICAL
BOOK Is ISSUED
Containing several potent changes II

Containing several potent changes In
the ecclesiastical rules and government
OF the Catholic Church. a new conoai-
cal book has just been issued The
book contains i56 pag.s, embod.es 2iii
canons and Is divided in 1--WE books.
Formerly the canon was made up in
three books. The first act Of the new
canon law treats Of general rules The
second OF persons, the third Of things
fourth, Of purposes, and the nth, Of
crimes and punishment.
Chief among the new changes are
those relating to baptism, matrimony,
fasting and adoption. Formerly the
Catholic Church forbid the sponsor at
the ceremony Of baptism TO marry the
mother OF the child baptiscd. The new
change In the canon permits this. For
years the church did not solemnize
marriages during the Lenten season. BY
the recent change marriages are now
performed during this period, but not
with pOmp and ceremony. These mar
riages may be solemnized during this
season. but not on Sundays and feast
days As has been rs custom for years
the Catholic Church does not recog-
nize breach Of promises among its com
munlcants. However. the new rule re-
quires the persons who have become
engaged TO call upon their pastors and
before him signs articles Of their be-
trothal. The age Of consent among
tnose who were to enter a matrimonial
alliance was fixed az eighteen and six
teen years old. Now the ages Of con-
sent are: Nan, sixteen years, and the
girl. fourteen years.
The marriage within the fourth de-
gree Of kindred has been eliminated
from the new economical law. Persons
who are third cousins are now allowed
to marry. In the Lenten rules regu-
lating the fast, fish and flesh meats
were never allowed 20 be eaten az the
same meal. Both are now permissible
/ According 20 the new canon. Lent now
ends at noon on Holy Saturday II was
/ always the rule Of the church that the
season did not terminate tin at mid
night on the same day.
