ENGLE, N. M, July 31.---Ed. James
q we'll known and popular and it may
be desirable TO state. truthful, mining
mau in this region underwent q thrill
ing experience. few nights ago the
like of which will not be easily forget
ten by the miner.
James controls valuable mining pro-
perties in chloride some fifty miles
across the plains. The railroad does
not penetrate into the camp as 8 con-
sequence while undergoing trip to
this point Mr.. James was obliged to
knowing he could not reach his des-
tination before dark, supplied himself
with a "Cowboy Shakedown" which
consisted of Q pair of blankets and
canvas covering. These commodities
were the means of saving the traveller
from most torturing and lingering
death. AS darkness overlook the
horseman, he spread his
blanket on what appeared
convenient and suitable space of
desert ground within an enclosure of
rocks OF email elevation. He then al
lowed his trusty animal to Craze near
by and being fatigued from his long
ride "turned in" and was soon lost in q
deep repose. In short space OF time,
however, he was awakened by the Pc
culiar antics and neighing of his horse.
He arose and proceeded to where the
creature stood when he was greeted by
the gruesome rattling and presence OF
an unknown number of writhing,
squirming, and sizzling rattle snakes
abundant on all sides. just then
present moon revealed the Shiny and
poisonous reptiles in great numbers
and the perilous surroundings of the
startled mining man can be readily
imagined. Being possessed OF
on such a;aazaderouso ccasionsnd know

welcome aud dangerous visitors which
would aggregate them into frenzy
the man cody lay down and covered
his entire body and head with the
blankets and canves and remained II
that position until day light
The miner actually slept in 1
den of snakes. By exercising much
diplomacy and presence of mind hi
managed to crawl to a place of safety
and reached here Saturday morning
In relating his narrowing adventure
Mr.. James manifested no uueasines:
of demesnUr and had over dozen set:

and the story is not doubted. When
the fortunate mine man returns to hi:
home il is his intention with a party
of friends to visit the scene OF his try

A Rare Military Genius.

Lord Wolseley, commander of the
English army, and Gen. w. T. Sher-
man have said that had Gen. Nathan
Bedford Forrest received a military
education he would have been the
greatest figure Of the civil war. After
ed confederate cavalry leader, which
has been written by DR.. John A.
Wyeth, it is easy to understand why
Forrest should be so esteemed by all
those who are qualified to Judge.
Gen. Forrest was keenly appreciative
OF the necessity of giving his personal
attent ton to the smallest details con-
nected with his military operations in
order to achieve success. He was not
content to accept reports from even
his most trusted and faithful subordi-
Gates, but be made careful inspection
of his artillery, the harness, and the
condition of the animals as well as the
men, and held his officers strictly &C
countsble for keeping his command
supplied with ammunition, forage and
rations. Nothing seemed to escape his
careful scrutiny. When on the march,
which usually began at daylight he
and observe regiment after regiment
as they passed before him
He would then mount his
horse and ride through sthe
column from rear to front. II it were
raining and he saw q cartridge box ex-
posed to the weather the delinquent
need expect no mercy from the COM
mander. If in crossing a stream a
soldier permitted his ammunition to
get wet he might consider himself for
tunate to escape with a reprimand. His
quick eye readily detected lame or

not seem to be we'll fed or properly

A. SOLOMON MUCH IMPROVED.
The Famous Carlsbad Springs In
Germany Have Made A New
Man of Him.

A letter was received 10 the city a
few days ago by Nathan Solomon,
general mauager of the Ell Psso
Transfer company, stating that Adolph
Solomon who has been at Carlsbad
Springs in Germany for the past two
months UNDERGOING treatment was fast
regainine his health. When MIR. Solo
mon left Ell Paso his health was much
impaired from his close attention to
business, and he sought the famous
springs IN Germany by the ADVICE of
his physician. The many friends of
Mr.. Solomon will be gratified to learn
of this marked improvement in his
health, and will look forward to his
return to his native heath.

FELL FORTY FEET.
Boss Carpenter at the City Hall Met
With Severe Accident Today.

A shocking accident occurred at 2:3O
O'Clock this afternoon at the new city
hall building, whereby John Hurry,
the boss carpenter engaged on the
wood work of the building, fell head
long from the interior of the dome and
landed on the ground floor.
He was picked up in an unconscious
condition and ten minutes later con-
veyed to his home on N. stanton where
his Borrowing wife and children await
ed;him.
Hurry was in the dome directing
operators there when the accident oc-
Cured. He was standing on the raj
tiers and boards and an opening several
feet square was behind him. Below
this there was nothing but atmosphere
until the lower floor was reached.
On the rafters of the lower floor was
piled quantity of metal sk eathing G, dir
ectly beneath the opening, forty feet
above.
The unfortunate man lost his footing
in some unaccountable manner and fell
headlong to the lower floor, landing on
the tin. 1t was probably the pile OF
tin that saved his life, for 1t
was piled loosely across the rafters and
served to break the fall.
Blood flowed from Hurry's mouth
and nostrels and he lay asst dead. DR..
tSAC0 WAS S6ub lOE Uut NC LII doO LIZ
examin alton of the mans injuries un-
til after Ills removal, which took place
as soon as a conveyance could be pro-
cured.
John Hurry had been in Ell Paso only
five or six months. He was resident
of Salisbury, Mo-, and a great friend
of Assessor Smith, who is said to have
procured the position for him with Blu
chanan and Powers. Mr.. Hurry was
the boss carpenter in charge of the
wood work on the city hall.
INJURIES NOT FATAL.
| The injured man regained conscious
ness while being removed to his home
and after reaching there he WAS ex'
amined by the physicians, who pro-
nounced his injuries not necessarily
fatal.
| His left hip, which probably struck
the obstruction on the ground floor was
dislocsted and badly burned and the
left side of his head was bruised
There was no evidence of internal in
juries, although the shock must have
been great, and the physicians say that
unless Hurry was injured internally he
| will recover in q short time.

SERIOUSLY STABBED.
A Mexican Nearly Murdered at a
ConCordia Bale Last Saturday
Nlqht.


Night.
DR.. Bush was called to q house on
Oregon street near the Catholic
church yesterday morning to attend
Manuel Carbajsl, who was suffering
from a severe knife wound in his right
lung.
The man was very weak from excess
sive loss of blood and said he WAS stab
bed Saturday night at q bale at Con-
cordis.
DR.. Bush dressed the wound and
said this morning that the mans in
juries we're not necessarily fatal but
were rendered dangerous by the num-
Der of hours allowed to elspse before q
physician was notified.
It seems that an effort was made to
hush the matter up and the wounded
man was hauled into town and the
name of his assailant kept secret to
avoid arrests. It Is limited that the
knife thrust was the work of q Jealous
woman, though the truth of the report
could not be ascertained.
