Banzyk Makes Confession
Local Youth, Arrested Last
Week, Admits Robbing
Steigman's JeweIry Store

Matthew Banzyk, the twenty-one
year old youth of 267 Elm street,
who was arrested on Thursday night
as he attempted to gain entrance to
the +. D. Spruance Company's es-
tablishment at the corner of Jeffer-
son street and Madison avenue. has
confessed to being implicated in a
number of robberies and attempts
on which the police have been work.
ing for some time.
Banzyk, who was arrested on
Thursday night by Patrolman
Charles Jorgenson, admitted rob-
bing the jewelry store of ]. Steig-
man at 100 Smith street on March
3, and also admitted attempting get
ting into this store on July 2S. The
bicycle which Banzyk identified as
belonging to him after arraignment
on Friday morning, was stolen on
August from the Y. NJ. C. A.. ac-
cording to him, and it has been
since learned that the bicycle be-
longs to Henry Darbey.
Banzyk Worked Alone.
The confessed burglar is known to
work alone at all times and it has
been noticed that if he is successful
in a robbery on a first attempt. he
will return another time. Banzyk
was arrested a year ago charged
with the robbery of the store of
Fishkin. Brothers on Smith street,
and in his confession he admitted
being successful in two former trips
to that store. According to the re-
port of J. Steigman, the jeweler who
was robbed last March, from $500 to
$400 worth of jewelry was stolen, but
'Banzyk denies taking jewels of that
amount A Jimmy was used in
gaining entrance to the jewelry store
the first attempt, but on the second
visit. Banzyk attempted to get in
through the skylight, the same way
he entered the Fishkin establishment.
Banzyk has not worked steadily
since leaving school in 1918. On
Thursday afternoon he was noticed
riding on a bicycle on Jefferson
street looking over the windows in
the Spruance business house, and on
that night he attempted getting in TO
the building, when placed under
arrest by Officer Jorgenson.
Banzyk has been before the court
twice. the first time after being
caught in connection with the
Fishkin robbery. and the second tina
for violating his probation. The first
time he was placed on probation, and
ordered to report to Probation Of
ficer Charles MacWilliam. Later he
was picked up by the local police
on complaint of the probation officer.
taken to the county court. and again
placed on probation. 1t is likely the
probation officer will recommend that
he be sent to the reformatory for
full term when he appears in court

MAYACTON OIL AND GAS
 LEGISLATION

Attorney William Condon of Holbrook, recently wrote Governor Campbell t h a there is no Arizona statute to prevent the. waste of oil and gas at newly brought-in wells. That such waste in other states had resulted in the loss of millions of dollars before prohibitory legisIa- tion was enacted; that the waste of gas had also tended to lower the pressure forcing oil to the surface in the neighboring area; and that the correction of these evils was within the police power of the State legislature, as declared by the Supreme Court of the United States. Governor Campbell made a very cordial reply to this letter, thanked the writer for the suggestion, and said that if he called a special session he would give the matter attention if he con cluded to embrace any variety of subjects in his call, as he fully appreciated the necessity of such a law. In conclusion Governor Camp bell expressed his best wishes for the success of the drilling operations in the Holbrook field.

HOLBROOK OIL CON- PANY DRILL THEIR

Work at the HoIbrook Oil Co. well will be resumed Monday if there is any im- provement whatever in the weather, was the statement made by Dad" Hastings upon his arrival in Holbrook Thursday. The "dobe" flat that surrounds the well for a mile either way is abso- lutely impossible. The crew has remained continuously at the we'll and the last week have been trying to remedy the situation by hauling gravel with team and wagon. Jack Warden, manager of the company, came in from Los Angeles Sunday night after having spent ten days with Gov. Meiklejohn, and while there certain matters were discussed as to the af- fairs of the company. Mir. Warden is authority for the statement that no contract has been entered into where by the Holbrook we'll is to be taken over by any com pany and completed upon a fifty basis, and that the com pany will continue their drill ing and complete the work they have so far so ably per formed.

ROAD THROUGH
 PETRIFIED FOREST

The State Highway De.
 partment has issued a cal
 for bids for the construction
 of the s t a t e Highway
 through the Petrified Forest. The Section to be construct. ed is known as Section 3,
 Holbrook-St. Johns H i 2 h. way, Arizona Federal Aid Project No. 8. A project agreement had been execut- led about a year ago with the United States Bureau o f Public Roads covering this section of Highway, but be- fore proceeding with the construction a change in the alignment was deemed ad- visable. This change results in a shorter and more direct road, at considerably less ex- pense, and is. entirely within the forest. The State High way Department is acting on the theory that there is not sufficient money available to go to any extra expense to reach any particular point in the forest. The Highway, now located, places within a very short distance of the Highway practically the en- tire part of the forest that would be of interest to tour ists, and will open up one of the most wonderful natural phenomena to be found any where.
 This Highway is a link on the Old Trails Highway pass ing through the Northern part Of the State by way Of Springerville, s t. Johns. Holbrook, Winslow, Flag staff, Ashfork and Kingman.
 It is expected that work will start as soon as weather conditions will permit, and that this section will the completed by the beginning of Summer.
 The grading and drainage work will be done by con- tract but the surfacing will be done by the State High way Department, u S i n g equipment recently acquired from the War Department.
