 The assault took place about 10:3O Sunday night, when a strange Mex ican approached Hop Woo, a res taurant proprietor of Ash Fork, in the yard back of his restaurant, and struck him couple of vicious blows over the head with pick handle The Chinaman was knocked out, but since he had no money or valuables on his person at the time, his assail- ant was cheated of his expected spells.

BOND WILL BE FIXED
 UPON MANAGEMENT
Special to the Journal-Minerl


 JEROME, April l. -- Complaint charging a felony was filed in Jus tice of the Peace Clyde Jones' court here this afternoon, against Anna Irene Hopkins, wife of the former United Verde engineer, who on Thursday threw the contents of a tumbler of carbolic acid in the face of Lucille Gallagher, a Jerome school teacher.
 Bond was not fixed upon the fil- ing of the complaint, but 1t was in- dicated that this would be done at the time of Mrs. Hopkins arraign- ment.
 Lucille Gallagher, victim of the terrible act Of Mrs. Hopkins, is in the United Verde hospital here, re- covering her strength. That her eyes will be saved is a question, ac- cording to the opinion of Dr. Ancil Martin, a noted eye specialist of Phoenix who had been summoned to Jerome the day of the alleged as sault Whether or not the face will bear the scars of the acid is not known definitely, but there is under stood to be a rumor to the effect that the skin may be healed without permanent injury.
 Jerome is much exercised over the affair. which, by reason of the prom thence of the parties alone, is a sen- sational one. Feeling is said to have run high immediately following the alleged assault.
 Townspeop1e are eagerly interested in the progress of Miss Gallagher's treatment and many inquiries are re- ceived as to whether or not she will have her sight destroyed or inn paired.

SAWN WILL BE BROUGHT HERE
 FUR H|S TRIAL
NErom sanrday,s DaiIvl


 Fighting Bob' Sawn, whose ar rival here a week ago Sunday to lecture against bolShevism. has been followed by a series of flights and pursuits that read like detective yarn, will be brought back to Pres colt for trial at the. next session of the United States district court here.
 He will be brought here at the di- rection of the United States mar shal's office on a charge of fraudul- ently wearing a United States navy uniform.
 The fighting sailor" is alleged to have said that his 2 years of navy service' was only an enthusiastic way of referring to several months serv- ice in the year 1907. His manager, c. w. Wilson, who claimed to have been d captain in the American army. is being held by federal authorities in Los Angeles
 At his hearing before United States Commissioner Anson Smith at Kingman Thursday, Sawn said he had been registered in the draft during the world war, but the time of his registration and the name of his local board has slipped his mind. He remembered that he was register ed as Robert SaEvn, and that his all legged navy service was under the name of George Newberry, he said.
 Efforts to obtain the name, license number and, engine number of the Ford car originally furnished to Sawn at Ardmore have so far been fruitless Sheriff Mahoney of King man and J. E. Wilke of the depart ment of justice, however, are taking steps to clear up the question of the cars ownership and origin.
 w. M Roberts, post commander of the Prescott American Legion, who returned to this city Thursday afternoon following his sensational pursuit of the sailor, says that the detention and investigation of Sawn at Kingman was due to the hearty cooperation extended the Prescott legion post by Post Commander R. s. Adams of Kingman and Sheriff w. P. Mahoney.
 Despite the warmth of the Pres colt post commanders pursuit, Sawn probably would have been able to escape from Kingman before the dis trict attorney at Phoenix took hand in the case had it not been for his attempt to bluff" Sheriff Mahoney.
 By threatening the sheriff with the loss of his job and other things, to be brought on by the vengeance of J. E. Wilke Of the department of justice and others, Sawn made in evitable his detention until the fed eral agent arrived.
 When Mir. Wilke arrived and in terviewcd Sawn, one of his first steps was to make arrangements for the taking of photographs and finger prints of the man.

POISONED GRAIN IN
 DEMAND BY FARMERS
 FOR RODENT PESTS
From Fridays Daily)

That the poisoned grain distrib- uted by the biological department is doing good work in the destruction of prairie dogs, gophers and other rodents is shown by the number who recommend the use of this grain. If every one would poison the dogs and gophers, it would not be long before the country would be entirely rid of these pests," said a prominent farmer yesterday.
 The grain can be obtained free of cost by calling at the chamber of commerce office The demand for the poisoned grain IS shown by the number of farmers and stockmen who have called for it recently. It IS expected that D. A. Gilchrist, di- rector for the state, will be in Pres colt shortly to mix another supply for distribution. There is sufficient at the present time for a small de- mand. The grain is distributed free through the cooperation of the board of supervisors, working with the state and biological survey.
 During the week the following have called for a supply: C. A. Bar rett, Dewey; C. T. Thorne, H. Thorne, H. F. Fisher, Puntenney; w. C. Denny. Seligman; Wm. Rob erts, Fair Oaks; V. J.

PEP FEATURES
 ELkS PROGRAM
 FOR MORTCACE
drom Fridays Daily)

An entertainment that has for its object the celebration of the end of indebtedness-in fact, the burning of the mortgage-must necessarily be built around a core of pep. In the case of the special Zlks entertain ment which is to be put on here to- morrow night by Prescott lodge No B. the first part of the show is built around chorus of pep. There is little else built around the chorus, however, according to the few who have been privileged to witness re- hearsals.
 Impressario George Cummings has just about completed the prep aration of his part of the celebra- ton. Mrs. Harry Southworth has rehearsed the minstrel girls of the Business and Professional Womcn's s club in new stunts appropriate to the occasion and the entertainment will wind up with this "act" as its feature.

 It will open with an overture by the Fully Sisters orchestra, talented musicians whose personality is now well known here Andrew J. Hern- don, a veteran member, former of ficcr and exalted rules-elect, will re- hearse the history of the lodge building, whose freedom from debt is to be celebrated with the public burning of the mostgage.
 The turns" as tentatively ar ranged by Producer Cummings then follow in this order:
 Lloyd Ireland and company, in acrobatic oddities.
 Ernest Lira, piano accordcon solos, assisted by the Misses Fully.
 Brother A. E. Anderson, Edward J. Bowling, assisted by James, Good in Odds and Ends of 1921" These performers are billed as the "World's NNorc+ Mind Readers"

BELIEF SHE'S VICTIM IS PERSISTENT

Mrs. Hopkins was not pressed for statements concerning her motives. She indicated, however, that she felt the victim of her alleged assault was not entirely to blame, but was only an incident i'll a case of great issues.
 "She knew, though, when I came into the restaurant. She turned white the moment she saw me. I thought she was going to faint. When threw the acid, she raised her arm to protect her face. I could not have rubbed the acid in She was much stronger than I. She could have killed me. I am the vic tim of a weak heart. I could not have done otherwise than I did"
 Mrs. Hopkins called attention to her smoke-blue cape and her tan suit, both garments she had worn during the alleged assault. Both smelled strongly of carbolic acid, but there were no burnt places, accord ing to Mrs. Hopkins. who said the acid was too diluted to eat holes in the fabric.
 Part of yesterday Mrs. Hopkins spent in negotiation for counsel, but did not announce the result of her conferences, which were carried on through Mrs. J. R. Lowry, matron of the jail.
 Mrs Hopkins, who is understood to be well to do, is slender, of med ium height and of dark complexion. She has a high aquiline nose and thin lips. Her manner was quiet and composed.

 Right Eye Seriously Burned
 The right eye is the most serious ly burned and even if the sight is not affected there will be certain disfigurcment about the optic There is also grave danger of adhesions which will draw the lid and sur rounding flesh out of shape The left eye is not so seriously affected, and no permanent scars will be left anywhere on Miss Gallagher's face except around the right eye.
