LOCAL MAN RECEIVES
 HEAD WOUNDS AS HE INTERRUPTS THIEVES

Harry Shedd, head of the Shedd Mercantile service here, received se- we're head bruises Friday night in an encounter with tire thieves at 760 East Pierce street which caused con- siderable excitement in the neighbor- hood
 Shedd was member of the party spending the evening at the home of Mrs. Flora Rosenberry. 760 East Pierce street. Four or five cars be- longing to members of the group were parked in front of the house.
 About 10:3 o'clock one of the women in the party called attention to a sound of hammering in the street. as if someone were removing a tire. MT. Shedd and J. O. Sexson went to the door and found the ham mering was coming from one of the cars. As they started forward they saw two men on the far side of the machine which belonged to Sexson.
 Mir Shedd advanced toward the front of the automobile while his

companion headed for the rear. As they did so the two men dropped their tools and started to walk away Shedd promptly accusted them, de- manding what they were doing.
 The three were fairly close to- gether at the time, and for answer one of the men drew back and struck Shedd on the right side of the head with revolver, missing the temple by only half an inch. The force of the blow caused the gun to go off and as Shedd dropped stunned his friends in the door of the house thought he had been shot.
 After striking Shedd down the two men continued walking away. some of the men of the party started in pursuit, but soon lost the quarry in the darkness, while Shedd staggered to the house. The police were sum moned at once, but no trace of the two men was found. It was found MT. Shedd's only injuries were two severe flesh wounds in the head
 Shortly after the shot was fired someone noticed that there was an extra car in front of the house. and it proved to be that in which the tire thieves had come. In itiwas found a tire taken from one of the cars and a bottle of tequila.

NOTED ENGINEER
 PRAISES PHOENIX

Phoenix receives compliment from L. M. Lawson, noted engineer, in the following comment on this city's new water project in the Los Angeles Herald:
 Phoenix, with only 30.000 popula- ton, plans to spend $2.000,000 just to improve the quality of its water, hay ing already an adequate supply of water from another source" says l.. M. Lawson, project engineer of the Elephant Butte project.
 Phoenix is securing it's new water supply from the Verde river, piping it through 30 miles of redwood tube about five feet in diameter
 This willingness to spend what ever is necessary to get the very best shows the kind of people Phoenix has It stands good all the way through. The people are well groomed, well dressed, have good homes, good streets, fine lighting, buildings of high quality.
 But what impressed me most was the beautiful atmosphere Phoenix people have created for themselves"

 (b) To grant American citizenship to races of yellow color. which are made ineligible for such citizenship
