Arizona republican., 1899-08-23

evening a reporter bearded C. H. \.
 lunrs, nigh school trustee, ii his iair
 and was informed that the high
 school would opsn positively on the
 11th, unless the buildings should be
 burned in the meantime CT the teach
 CTS selected succumbed to the chilling hand of death. As for the grammar
 school, Mir. Luhrs said that his latest
 information was to the effeC.s that {
 would open on the 18th, but he would
 not vouch for it, as they may have i changed their minds The reporter in his travels could not find Professor
 Creagar, who undoubtedly could give ] some light on the subject and Mr i Robinson, who had just returned from
 '-he coast, is so absorbed in private 1 business it wns thought best not to disturb him for a day or so MT i F'ickas is just now engaged in bathing I his tootsie-woots.e in the placid Pa
 cific and Mir. Armstrong, the other i trustee. is getting his ears frosted on
 the San Francisco peaks, so it is con- fdently believed that September IS
 goes unless some of these gentlemen
 upset tEa calendar again. In the mean
 time if any more dates are submitted
 the readers of The Republican may be 1 assured they will be told all about it.
 A PAINFUL COINCIDENCE. In q suite of rooms at the Ford hotel two men occupy as cOmforta bly-as they
 can couple of beds which to many in
 the city would appear luxurious touches, but which to them are getting as hard as the hard side of plank. Both men are suffering from an in jury to their right ankles, and the time and maner in which they received
 their injuries is somewhat remark
 able. One of the gentlemen is Mr :. J. Mcdonald, a well known cattleman
 of this valley, and the other is MT.
 John R. Cromh of Clifton; cattle buyer for the Arizona Copper company,
 which supplies the Clifton market
 with fresh meat Mr Cromb came over from Clifton about a week ago to purchase cattle of MT Mcdonald, and on the 17th they went about zen miles
 west on the Yuma road 10 pasture where the cattle were grazing In some manner MT. Cromb's mount be-
 came frightened and alter charging around bit managed to unseat his rider Mir. CTOmb landed On his right fOC., which twisted under his weight, and he went down with aD ankle both dislocated and broken. He was made as comfortable as possible and sent to town for medical treatment. Mr. Mcdonald took charge of MT. Cromb'5 horse. riding his own and leading the other animal. He rode into a ditch to water them and while they were drinking his foot, unknown to himself | caught in the empty stirrup Of the ] saddle on MT Crombis horse. Ills | Own-hOrse being of. 2 nervous tempeTa | ment, soon discovered that in some 1 manner he was attached to the other | beast, and bCEh began plunging. His | horse jumped ahead, twisting MT. ! foot backward, severely 1 straining the ankle. Though he sui fered a good deal he managed to ride | the horse into town and went to Dr. i Dufneld's office 10 see how MT Cronb 1 was getting along. The doctor Cb- served his limp and told him to take his shoe off, which he did and :.s has been eff ever since, with a prospect Of not being called upon to do much knocking about for some time. No bones were broken, but the fragments of the ankle were torn loose and he really has more painful imb than his fellow sufferer, who sustained the breaking Gf the bones. The two gen tlemen are making the best Of whas n some respects was a bad cattle deal and agree with those who come to call upon them that their mutual m.sfor- tunes are eXcruciatingly funny, al though they are not given to much laughing about it. Two pairs of adorn tlcair rooms. but thus iar they, like the wounded limbs, are # no use to them. though their many friends sincerely hope they will be able o run foot race by the time next field day rolls around.
