SoIons Faver Dockery.

Jefferson City, Mo-, May 22.-The
closing DAYS of the fortieth general
assembly have been marked by an
increased interest in the democratic
guberpatorIal nomination next year.
Colonel David A. Ball, of Pike
county, has been a frequent visitor
to the capital during the session
and he has been prosecuting his
campaign with an energy that is
characteristic of the ''P kerr when
he gets on the trail OF an office. Mr..
Dockery has been at tbs capital
three times since he returned from
Washington in March and Colonel
James r. Waddell, who is accredit-
ed with desire to be the head OF
the state ticket next year, has min
gled with the lawmakers on several
occasions.
A poll of the senate shows that of
the twenty five democratic senators
twenty are unrsservedly for Dockery.
A poll of the houss shows that of
the eighty democratic represents.
tives ffty.nine are certainly for
Dockery.

The populist editors in convention
"a Kansas City last week passed a
resolution against any more fusion
with any party. The populist con-
vention held in this city last year
when a county ticket was nominated
did exactly the same thing, but
when the time came they changed
front, and fused with the republi-
cans. Not only that, but they pulled
off their candidate for circuit judge
and substituted the nominee of the
republican party. Atkeson attended
both conventions.

DANGEROUS ADVENTURE.
W. F. Russell Lost in the Colorado River
 T. A. Fleming Has Narrow Escape.

An accident that has cast a gloom over the people of this community; an accident that is only another proof of the awfulness of the Colorado river in the Grand Canyon, was the loss of William Russell in the river last Sun day. Russell was u member of the Clifford party, who left here last week in charge o; Messrs. Henry Sellers, T. A. and George Fleming.
 The party took along a canvas boat and reached the river proper last Sun day evening about o'clock. Mr. Russell was taken along us canoe man and when they reached the river the boat was prepared, Mr. T. \. Fleming together with Mir. Russell attempting the dangerous feat of trying to cross the river.
 In MT. Fleming's version he says: "I noticed the moment that Russell got into the boat that he was not an exper- fenced canoe-man, and as he sat down about midway of the canoe told him to get nearer the bow. The river is very high, the waters angry and the whirlpools, which are dangerous in low water, are doubly so during the present high water. Russell, in taking his position in the bow of the boat, slightly turned it on one side. At this time We were in very dangerous water, made so by the heavy surge against the walls of the canyon. The waters at this moment caught the boat, upsetting it. I had all that I could do to look out for myself, and as Russell said
The Coconino sun., 1899-07-22

that he could swim I naturally thought he was doing the same. immediately struck out for the bank, about twenty five feet distant, through the fierce waters, and the moment got within my depth I let down and. turning around to look for Russell, imagine my horror to see him going down the stream cliDging to the boat which was turned upside down. He had pulled himself about half way upon the boat and was going down stream at rapid rate. "-Williams News.
 w. F. Russell ran barber shop here several years ago, going to Williams from this place. Although several parties are searching for the unfortu- nate man No news Of the result of the search has reached here at this WritinU

Ehrenberg, on the Arizona side of the Colorado river, about sixty miles on an air line from Yuma, is looking up brightly. Rich dry placers have been discovered, and a large, energetic camp has been established. Over $2,OOO, ,O0O was taken from the placers of this section some 9 or 30 years ago, and as much more will be taken out in the near future.
 A thrilling incident occurred at the Rosemont mine few days ago. A group of men were standing engaged in conversation when peal of light ening struck at that point, killing q Mexican and his team of horses, and bringing everyone dumb-founded to the ground. All, however, revived except the poor Mexican and his horses. This would not be considered very remarkable evenl east of the Rocky Mountains, but for Arizona it is rare occurrence.
