sane asylum, left Saturday for Hol-
brook Arizona. Mr.. H. D. Evans left
last night for the same point. and to-
gether they will journey 10 the land
dance Dr. Miller has witnessed the
dance before, and being a well known
student of chronological subjects. his
present visit is inspired by still
dents motives rather than a mere ex-
eursion for curiosity's sake. It is I'M
derstood that he has a considerable &C
quaintance with the leaders of the
tribe and during his visit will be ad-
mitted to some of their secret rites and

Off THE TRACK. One of the
big Southern Pacific engines got on
the track last night at Maricopa By
the spreading of the railS3 but it did
not delay matters much, as getting it
on again was but the work of a Short
time. In this connection it is inter
esting to note how easily a feat OF
this kind can be accomplished with
the proper tools to work with. The
pony truck and two OF she drivers
were off, but were pulled on again by
means of a re-railing device made OF
Steel and similar in appearance to a
mammoth spoon. It is placed in front
OF the wheels and when the steam is !
applied the wheels run Up on what +.
might be termed the handle OF the +
spoon and then slip over sidewise onto /.
The rails.
