JURY STILL OUT
 IN DAMAGE SUIT
From Tuesdays Daily)

| With the arguments of attorneys for both sides closed, and it's in- structions received, the jury ill the suit for $20,0OO filed by the estate of Ralph w. Griffith against the Arizona Power company for dam ages in an accident in which Grif fifth lost his life. late last night re- tired. Up to late hour, the jury had not come in. Attorneys for both the plaintiff and the defendant company express themselves as con fident of a verdict in their favor.
 The case has aroused considerable interest. Filed in behalf of Mrs. Mildred Griffith. widow of the man who met his death on August 50, 1918, when he came into contact with a live wire while engaged on line work at the Poland substation of the Arizona Power company, the suit is being bitterly fought by the company, whose attorneys deny the allegation of negligence in the cir cumstances giving rise to the acci- dent, and seek to prove that Grif- fifth met his death through disre- garding instructions and notices, ob
 servance of which they state, would have prevented the accident.
 The defense yesterday sought to establish that the death of Griffith occurred through his not cutting certain wire before climbing a pole to perform some line work.
 Attorneys for the plaintiff contend that the pole climbed by Griffith was not the pole he had been in structed not to climb, and through this alleged circumstance, that If he failed to cut down the grounded wire he had been instructed to cut before climbing the pole the defense sought to establish he climbed, his failure was not responsible for the fatal accident. Testimony was in- troduccd by the plaintiff seeking TO establish that witness of good hear ing present at the time it Is alleged Griffith was instructed not to climb the pole failed to hear such instruc- tions, and that therefore. if they were given at all, Griffith himself probably failed to hear them.
 The entire case last night rcvolved about the question of the defendant company's responsibility under the Arizona employers liability law, for the accident. The verdict will prob ably become known today.
 Attorneys for the plaintiff were Howard Cornick and Favour & Baker, Lamson and Jones and George Purdy Bullard, representing the defendant company The jury was as follows:
 w. R. Merrill, V. H. Buudy, Will liam Crocker, William Hoffman, w. R. Hancock, Archie T. Sutton, Jacob Schleisman, Howard D. Owens, J. c. Van Dercn, J. H. Reeves and Thomas w. King.

 FUR BANK TALK
Members of Chamber of Com cree Organization to Hear In teresting Exposition by Judge Wells of Yavapai Banking Progress
From Tuesdays Daily)

Banking as 1t pertains directly to Yavapai county, will be the principal subject taken up at the Luncheon club of the Yavapai county chamber of commerce today.
 Giving the history of banking ill Yavapai county and its present status, Judge E. w. Wells, recog- nizcd as one of the leading pioneer bankers of the southwest, will talk to the members of the Luncheon club, their guests and friends. The Luncheon club meetings arc attend cd by members of the chamber of commerce, as well as prospective members. That reservations may be made properly, those who have not notified the chamber of commerce office that they will be present, should do so this morning, not later than 10:30. A delicious menu will be served, and the luncheon will start promptly at noon.
 No collections and no fighting sensations" was the way Chairman Ruffner expressed his view of the luncheon. A good deal of mirth was caused by reason of the remarks made by Fighting Bob Sawn at the last luncheon and the action of Trailing" Bill Roberts of the local American Legion, in looking into the credentials of Sawn. However, 1t has never been customary for a collection of any kind to be taken up at the Luncheon club meetings and this will be enforced strictly.
 The meeting today promises to be an interesting one. While many realize something of the banking importance of the city of Prescott, the remarks to be made will be in structive and interesting.
 Following are the Tive wires" who have given notice that they will be ill attendance at the luncheon:

THIEVES ENTER
 AND RANSACK
 ROBINSON HOME

Thieves early last night forced an entrance into the Mt. Vernon street home of City Manager John H. Rob- inson, during the absence of the en- tire family, and in short while ran sacked every drawer and cupboard in the house, upstairs and down. While no money or valuables were taken, these having been safely on deposit at the bank, it was not known up to late hour last night, whether the thieves made away with any minor articles or not. Consid- erablc time was required to go thru the house and put things in order.
 An entrance to the house was ob- talned through the transom over the the kitchen door, After entering, the thieves went through every part of the house which they suspected might harbor money or valuables, scattering the contents of drawers and other reccptablcs over the var ious rooms they ransackcd.
 The robbery was discovered by Robinson upon returning from town. He stated last night that clues have been found in the finger-prints left by the thieves on the glass of the transom through which they entered. It is believed that the burglary was committed by some one who had carefully watched the movements of those living in the house, selecting a time for their deed when every one was away.
