PIONEER MINING MAN ARRESTED
 FUR BAD CHECK
John F. Gibbons Taken Into Gus
 tody at Tucson and Brought
 Here; Alleged Bad Check {. Signed by Mysterious Baxter.
lFrom Wednesdays Dailyl

|
 Tohn r. Gibbons, aged about GA, was brought from Tucson. and placed in the county jail yesterday on a charge of uttering a bogus check. Ed Block, local merchant, a short time ago cashed check purporting to have been signed by George Bax- ter and made out to Gibbons. In- quiry, according to the sheriff's of flee has revealed deep and wide spread ignorance of the identity of Baxter. The bank upon which the check was drawn had no account in that name, according to the officers.
 Gibbons has lived in Prescott for the past year at the Grant hotel. He is known here and there in Yavapai county as a prospector and mining promoter. Deputy Sheriff Bill Mur- ray. who made the arrest and brought Gibbons to Prescott, says he has known the defendant for twenty years.
 According to the sheriff's office, Gibbons presented check for SZ50 at Blocks, and it was paid, partly in cash and the balance by the firms own check An attempt later to real ize on the Baxter check revealed the fact that there was no account in that name. Inquiry at Mayer, where the check was said to have been drawn, also failed to disclose Bax- ter there. Gibbons is said to have maintained that man named Bax- ter had paid him the check, but that he does not know much about him.

COUNTY BONDS
 GO ID BUYERS
Seven Hundred and Fifty Thou
 sand Dollars Soon to Reach
 Yavapai Golfers as Bonds Are Signed and Shipped
(From Fridays DaiIyl

Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, one-half of the proceeds of the Yavapai county million and half dollar bond issue, will soon be placed on deposit in this city, it was stated yesterday by County Treas urer Frank E. Smith. The bonds were prepared to be shipped away yesterday to Prudder & Co.,, of Chi cago, and others who have bought them. The balance of $750,000 will be paid later, Treasurer Smith said.
 Transfer of the bonds yesterday followed a busy session of the coun- ty treasurer's office and the board of supervisors Wednesday, the large block of bonds, in denominations of $1,OOO each, being signed by the chairman and clerk of the board, and checked.
 With receipt here soon of the ac- tual cash, it is expected that finan- cial conditions in the county will be- gin to brighten considerably, large amount of money being put into cir culation, and work afforded to men now out of employment
 Writers Cramp Threatens
 For a time it looked as though Bob Donovan, clerk, and w. w. Midgley, chairman of the board of supervisors, might acquire bad cases of writers cramp merely by signing their names to the 750 $1,000 bonds which were demanded by the buyers as the initial installment The work of signing and checking was com pleted at last, however. and neither of the officials sprained wrist, all though they did seriously strain their for veracity. When they spoke of the hundreds of thousands of dollars they were working on, their friends looked blank but polite.
 Movement of bonds to the buyers and of money in the form of credits in the eastern banks to Yavapai county and the expected immediate beginning of construction work at Whipple Barracks were items of con siderable financial interest yesterday. Both transactions mean the consid- erablc enlargement of financial re- sources of the county, due to the expenditure in the channels of trade of much money that would not otherwise be expected to lubricate those channels.

ROCk LEAVERS CAUSE CRASH
 ON HILL ROAD

Eight inches of chaparral oak tree growing beside the Copper Basin road saved the lives of three men yesterday morning, according to George Shea, superintendent of the Pioneer Home, who came back from a trip to Skull Valley and witnessed the finish of what might have been a fatal as well as sensational acci- dent.
 Three men had been riding in a light truck on that part of the road that pitches steeply just beyond the Government Springs. The rear wheel struck a rock which some altruistic motorist had left i'll the road after using it to brake his car. The rock was twice as big as mans head. The crash threw the head end of the truck toward the outer edge of the road and the radiator collided with the oak tree. The force with which. the car plunged toward the edge of an abyss down which car and men would certainly have plunged to destruction, was shown by the fact that the radiator, front wheels and engine were wrecked. The rear wheel which had struck the rock was also mess. How ever, there was one good wheel left on the truck
 Criminal negligence is the way Shea characterized the habit of some motor car drivers who halt on hills and use rocks to steady their cars while waiting for the engine to cool or effect repairs. It is seldom, he said, that the driver is thoughtful enough to throw the rock out of the road after he is through with it. Driving on some mountain roads, he declared, is one continual dodge to keep from smashing tires or wheels against these Instructions.

WORK II START
 NH|PPLE TRACT
Land in Whipple Heights Sec ton to Have Graded Streets, Water and Sewage Facilities, Says Chris Totten

Work of grading streets on the Whipple Heights addition tract under charge of Chris Totten will begin shortly, it was stated yesterday by Totten, who said he expected to have the work begun in about two weeks.
 It is Totten's plan to grade streets through the land, which will be placed on the market shortly, and then have that part of the tract ly- ing outside the city taken within the corporate limits. It is also planned to have water and sewage facilities extended to the tract.
 Opening of the Whipple Heights tract marks an extension of purch- asable homesite land in Prescott. Chris Totten last night denied that the land or any of the work con nected with it is under control or being managed by the recently or ganized Prescott Construction and Engineering company, of which he IS member, and stated that the project is being managed by him self. He also denied rumors that he intends building houses on the tract. He is concerned only with develop ment and sale of lots in the tract, he said.
 The tract included in Totten's pro- ject lies in East Prescott, a part of it extending beyond the city limits. It includes the old ball park.
