CLASSY BURGLAR WANTED HAM
 AND EGGS
(Fgom Tuesdays DailyJ

The individual who attempted to rob the Winsor restaurant of some thing to eat at about 1 o'clock Mon day morning must have been seized with a voracious appetite for ham and eggs, if the articles he was pick ing up was any indication Of his in clination.
 But his calculations were somewhat amiss when he bumped into big gun in the hands of one of the proprietors named Leong Quong Low, a celestial who was drafted in the army, and who seemed to have lost none of his training as he stood ready on the picket line again to exercise his chal, lenge of "who comes there"
 The intention of the burglar was tC get hold of case of eggs that he lifted to the first landing on the rear steps, but when he began to strip the pegs of F fat hams one or two drop ped to the floor against tin buckej that made a noise as lond as a buglc call to arms.
 This awakened the Chinese owner sleeping in the room, who grabbed his hashlight in one hand and the 3S- caliber gun in the other. The masked gent retreated like d flash and two other Chinese came hurriedly bounc- ing out of their hunks to reinforce the firing line. Leong state after ward: Me kill him, but me no want to; he get away with nothing; but he come back, h-l pop"
 The burglar entered the kitchen by a coal chute, and once inside took the precaution to unlock the door and hold it wide open with a stick to make his getaway rapidly if detect ed. He had one ham under his arm. but it fell on the steps, and the Win sor is not complaining now of the high cost of everything. It is also stated the robber had a confederate in the alley, and few moments after the burglary was frustrated the sound of q wagon was heard.

HOLIDAY CHEER FOR RETURNED
 DOUGHBOYS
(From Sundays dziiy.3

N- SAAA 0Na-N|J v
 When the United Stats Army transport President Grant" dropped anchor in New York, the returning doughboys, including a number from Arizona and New Mexico, but none from this vicinity, were greeted with Christmas messages from the gov ernors of the two newest states. The messages were sent through the Rocky Mountain Club of New York city, "the eastern home of western men,"
 The clubs secretary, Herbert Wall, who has done so much for Arizoua soldiers coming back from France, sends word that the contingent was taken care of. He asks that the rela- tives of the boys be informed of the clubs intention to make it seem like Christmas and New Years for the fellows so far from home.
 Following is the Christmas mes sage of Governor Campbell:
 The people of the state of Arizona owe the Rocky Mountain Club debt of gratitude which they can never re- pay, but in their behalf I desire to ex- tend heartfelt thanks for services in taking care of our soldiers, sailors and marines, and extending them characteristic Western welcome and bounteous hospitality upon their re turn to these shores. I have received hundreds of expressions of appreCia- ton from boys who were your guests and know they will ever have d warm spot in their hearts for the or ganization which so efficiently cared for them.
 "To the members of the club, col lectively and individually, I send Christmas greetings and the states expression of gratitude, trusting that compensation will be found in the knowledge that they have done a noble work for the men who so vali- antly represented Arizona in the fight for world freedom"
 Governor Campbell, in a previous communication addressed to the Rocky Mountain Club following his return home from New York when he welcomed the 89th Division in company with Governors Allen and McKelvie, of Kansas and Nebraska in speaking of the task entrusted tc the club by Arizona, said:
 "The appropriation by this state is insignificant compared with the mag nitude of the task entrusted and the expenditure of money required, and could not from the nature of things go very far. If it had not been fer the open-hearted generosity of the Rocky Mountain Club and its mem bers, our men would not have been accorded the welcome they received at your hands, at a time when such were doubly precious to the lads who were strangers within your gates"

ELLIS PICKED ID MEETENGINEERS
 AT GLOBE
(From Sundays pailyl

AIlOlll SuAGdg ; EdIAl
 In session last night at the cham Der of commerce rooms, the local chapter of the American Association of Engineers, recently organized in this city, selected w. (. Ellis as dele gate to the district convention of the association to be held at Globe, Ari- zona, on January 9, 10 and II.
 A committee consisting of T. E. Peacock, ]. E. Russell, Robert Roe, o. NJ. Wold and w. C. Ellis, was ap- pointed to arrange for future activity of the Prescott association as regards the state convention, its representa- ton at Globe, and to receive sugges- tions as to the wishes of the member ship in regard to the further instruc- ton of delegates sent.
 With a representative membership present, W. C. Ellis, the president ir the chair. and O. NJ. Wold at the sec retary's desk, the meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock and progressed smoothly, the discussion taking the form of suggestions rather than argu- ment.
 It was brought out that Jerome Clarkdale and Humboldt, including Mayer, would have similar associa- tions, the two cities first named to be represented at the state conven- ton. Globe has a membership of 177 Phoenix III, and Tucson s. with associations being organized at Ray. Hayden, Nogales, and many other Arizona towns.
 Prescott has a membership of 5 with the prospect of double that mum Der in a very short time, the member ship committee being an exceedingly active one. Jerome will doubtless start with 5 or 40 members. anc Clarkdale with similar number The convention which will be held a; Globe is known as the Southwestern District Convention of the American Association of Engineers, the distric. including Arizona, New Mexico anc Texas to the Pecos River valley.
 With national headquarters at 6, Adams street, Chicago, Illinois, anC district offices at Washington, New York city aud Pittsburg, the director: including such national figures as ( II. Crawford, of the Baldwin Loco motive Works; A. A. Mathews, chic. engineer of the St. Louis Southwest ern railroad; w. H. Finley, presiden, of the Chicago & Northwestern rail road; John Ericson, city engineer o Chicago, and others equally prom inent in the engineering world, tho American Association of Engineers has as its objects the raising of tht standard of ethics and the promotion of the economic and social welfare as well as interchanging information beneficial to the members, watching legislation which would be prejudiciai to safe and economic engineering an, promoting a proper professional spirit toward each other among en gineers.
 Of the same type of organization as the United States Chamber O! Commerce, of which it is a member or as the American Medical Society American Institute of Architects, bar or any other professional organiza- ton, the association expects to attail its program by the application of in telligence, d united front, and pub licity.

HLIPAH OIL COMPANY Is
MAKING GOOD PROGRESS

During the past week there mas
been a decided change in the forma-
ton at the well of the Illipah Oil
Company, says the Ely Record, n
better progress is now being made.
The ground is more friable and the
drill is making good time, and the
well has now passed the 550-foot
point. On Wednesday considerable
oil was struck by the drill, in fact,
a larger splash than ever before was
found, which is most encouraging.
But stockholders must remember that
wells go down slowly in all districts
and many accidents, such as break
ing of stems, are the rule rather than
the exception. But Notwithstanding
these difficulties the well of the Illi-
pah Oil Company has gone down
faster than any other well in the
state, which speaks well for the
management and the men.
