IF CAR
 SECOND WITHIN
 SHORT PERIOD
(From Wednesdays DaiIyl

With the interception at Seligman yesterday of a Westcott car believed to be that stolen from the Plaza Annex garage sometime between midnight Tuesday and early yester- day morning, and with the lightning detection and arrest of one of the men who entered and burglarized the clothing store of Ed Block on North Montezuma street, the band of thieves who have been staging a small-sized crime wave in Prescott during the last few days have been given enough acton to put the fear of the law into their hearts.
 The seven-passenger Westcott touring car owned by A. Borden and operated by hi mas taxi from the corner of Gurley and Cortez streets, was stolen from the Plaza Annex garage sometime between midnight Tuesday and 6 o'clock yesterday morning. Borden had placed the car in the garage after finishing his trips, and at midnight, according to Carl Anderson, night man at the ga rage, who was called out at that hour to fill car with gas and oil, nothing about the place had been molested. When orden called at the garage in the morning to take out the car, 1t was gone.
 Unfortunately, Borden yesterday did not remember the license nor the engine number of the car, and this seriously handicapped Sheriff Davis in his efforts to trace it. How ever a Westcott car answering the description of that of Borden was intercepted at Seligman yesterday with its four passengers, and both car and men are being held pending an investigation and further infor- nation from Sheriff Davis. The ar rest at Seligman was made by Dep uty Sheriff M. s. Hummer
 The theft of the Westcott car was the second automobile theft occur ring within five days. A Studebaker car was stolen late last week from the garage and salesrooms of Chas. c. Reibeling, owner of the Stude- baker agency for this city, and city police and the sheriff's office were put on the trail of the car, which was soon recovered and returned to its owner. It is believed that the car was borrowed" by persons wishing to enjoy joyride.

 News of the encampment has aroused keen interest ill parts of the state. where formerly there was no interest at all 'It is amusing to note," said Colonel Ingalls,, "how some communities which turn down the proposition of organizing guard units are now showing unusual in terest in the encampment grounds A case in point is that of Safford We offered them cavalry troop at first and then a rifle company, but there was no one to be found who would take sufficient interest to start the organization.

SHERIFF TO BATTLE
 ON DEPUTIES STAND
From Thursdays Daily)

VT AOAAA AAilA quay 3 GdAlSJ
 "If the board of supervisors wants economy, why didn't they buy me cheaper cars," Sheriff Warren C, Davis asked last night while dis cussing the controversy which has recently come up between his office and the board relative to the curtail- ment of the force of deputies. The sheriff spoKe with some heat and said his troubles were due to Chairman w. w. Midgley's attitude He said that on a certain day dur ing his early service in office, he was called on to explain why he had hired cars to go to Jerome and to Seligman to investigate the murder of Arthur De Steunder. He said he had been obliged to hire cars or else walk. The question was asked by another county official at that meeting: "Whatl Hasn't the sher- if carr" and the next morning the sheriff had Cadillac.
 Twice since then, the sheriff de- clared, he had asked the board to buy Dodge cars, believing that this machine, being inexpensive to buy and keep up, would serve, but the first time he was given an O1dsmo- bile, costing about $400 more than a Dodge, and the second time, was given a Cleveland. This car, he said, was secondhand and cost $174O.
 Economy, the sheriff said, could have been effected in these items, but he did not believe it good policy to cut the deputy force. q have been told that the people want more deputies and feel they need them"
 Board Notifies Men
 Ernest Childers and w. R. Hughes, deputies at Humboldt and Jerome, respectively, were notified by mail yesterday of the form of resolution passed by the board Tuesday.
 Asked what effect this would have, the board said that the notification carried revocation of commissions. Davis declared that the two men had been told by him to keep on the job. Asked what he might expect, he said the two pay warrants would probably be disallowed the middle of the month and said he would take the case into court if the demands for salaries were not allowed. This, it was indicated, would bring out the entire case with reference to the powers and authority of the board and other county offices, to name and keep on the payroll certain forces of deputies.
 It is the belief of the sheriff's of- flee that paragraph 2539 of the civil code clears the matter, leaving to the board authority to revoke only such appointments as arc made by the boards consent, the same includ ing specifically ''ranger-deputies." !" Other deputies, t was said, arc not affected, although it is the contcn- ton of the board, that all deputies save chief deputies are under the authority of the board.
 Tt is left to the county officers to name deputies to fill the needs of their offices, and I am labcring under the belief that I am the judge of the degree of necessity" the sher- if said.
 Recall Tinted
 The sheriff added that it was his intention at this time to consult at torneys and have a recall petition drawn up against Chairman Midgley, He made the statement that he aim cd to see that the petitions were cir culated as a measure to refer the disDufr to the DeOD1c

TWO ROBBERIES IN TWO DAYS
 NET PRESCOT I AND HOSPITAL
 THIEVES CON SIDERABLE LOOT
(From Tuesday,s Dailyl


 Two robberies in as many days with a total loss of approximately $3Q0 was the weekend record for Prescott.
 The repair shop of Stich & Cain, on North Cortez street, was entered some time between midnight Satur- day and early Sunday morning, and robbed of revolvers and pocket knives whose value was estimated last night by Stich at between SIPS and $25O. No trace of the thieves has yet been found.
 The second robbery occurred Sun day night at the Post Exchange at Whipple Barracks. Forcing an en- trance through the transom, the thief or thieves, judged to be some one at the Barracks who knew where the money was kept, robbed the till and a punch-board of $47. The per petrators of this robbery have not yet been located, either.
 Finds Shop Rifled
 Coming down to the shop about g o'clock Sunday morning, on some business he wished to attend to, w. ]. Stich, a partner ill the firm, dis covered that during the night the shop had been entered, and that the thieves had ransacked a case of re- volverS and another containing pocket knives. A case of rifles and shotguns, above the revolver case, was unmolested, the robbers taking only such goods as they could carry.
 Entered Through Window
 The robbers effected an entrance to the shop through rear window. At first trying to break in through the door, they broke the glass in the door, but could not open it. They then pried a board off win dow that had been nailed up and en- tered through the window. Once inside, the thieves forced the door open with a screwdriver for their exit.
 It is Stich's belief that the rob bery must have occurred some time between midnight and Sunday morn ing. Persons who passed his shop Saturday night from 10 to 12 o'clock accured him that the streets were rather full of people up to midnight. The shop was not closed until 9 o'clock Saturday night.
 The city police and the sheriff's office are on the track of the rob bers, as well as on that of those who rifled the Post Exchange Sunday night
 Climbed Through Transom
 Entrance to the Post Exchange Sunday night was effected through the transom, as was the case in the recent rifling of the home of City Manager John H. Robinson. The thieves ill this second robbery found about $20 in a punch-board operated by the proprietor of the place, B. Shimonowsky. Twenty-seven dollars were found in the till. No trace of the robbers has been found, though 1t is believed that attempts will be made to trace them through finger prints left on the transom glass.
