A Close Call.

O O CAOCAf dS bnc hOIhAhch Oil I1c Santa Fe Pacific's large reservoir south of town were preparing to make everything snug for the night, a terrible accident occurred by which one man nearly lost his life.
 The great dam is now almost completed and in the center of the canyon has a height of seventy feet. Derricks were in use-handling the enormous blocks of stone-and at the time mentioned, Tom George, one of the workmen, was walking along the crest of the dam holding in his hands the guide rope used to swing the huge blocks into posi- tion- When at the highest point he gave a tug on the rope-which parted.
 On the upper side of the dam there is a sheer fall of thirty feet to the water below. On the lower side the wall is terraced, forming huge stair steps It was on this side that the unfortunate George fell When the rope parted he was precipitated into space, falling backward for a distance of twelve feet before striking the terrace be- low, from which he bounded from one to the other till the bottom was reached.
 Those who saw the accident stood with bated breath and only expected when they reached the unfortunate man to find him dead. He was hastily conveyed to the hospital where Dr. Melick made an examination disclosing the fact that aside from an ugly cut on the head and numerous bruises, no great damage was done. How the man escaped with his life was a miracle, and that he could have fallen a dis tance of seventy feet without a bone being broken seems almost impossible to believe.

 This is the third accident of the kind to happen almost in the same place.
 During the construction of the original dam in 1894 a workman fell from the wall, striking his head on a rock, rendering him uncon- scious- He was removed to Ash Fork, where the hospital was then located and where he died About the same time, Ruth, the little daughter of MT. and Mrs Wm Hayward, while playing about the dam, lost her balance and fell down the terraced wall, receiving injuries to one of her shoulders | from which she has not yet re-

Farewell.

Miss Mary V. Baird, aged %
years, died at her home in East
Humboldt last Tuesday morning
at 5 o'clock.
Deceased was sister of one of
the editors of The Commercial.
There is sadness in our heart to-
day and we mourn the departure of
one who was always loving, kind
and true. A gray-haired father,
who hardly left his daughters bed
during the long illness, is bowed
down in the deepest sorrow and ut
ter desolation broods over the old
homestead. But this consolation
comes to us through the heavy mlsts
of grief She gave her heart to her
Savior in early youth, she lived
consistent Christian life, she kept
the faith, and she has received
the reward that God, the Righteous
Judge, gives to his own.
Late Tuesday evening the father,
brothers and sisters, and relatives
and friends assembled under the
shade of the maple and the magno-
liza trees in Rose Hill Cemetery and
listened to the funeral services,
conducted by her pastor, Rev. 10.
of the Cumberland Pres
byterian Church, assisted by Rev.
L. II. Wilson, of the Baptist
and Rev. DR.. Hood, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. The
remains were laid to rest in the
lallowed spot in this little cemetery
which father years ago set apart
is the resting place for his dead.
1t is only memory now, but a
so pure and sweet that it
will live when light passions long
lave passed.

Life Gone Ont.


Liesin calm and undisturbed re
pose" this morning the remains of Sic
w. Hall. Many an eye glistens witt
a tear as the sad tidings reach them
Of his death. The greatest distinc.
tion that can be conferred upon hu.
man beings is the title of man. GOD
made man after his own image and in
his own likeness and every human
soul loves a man. There is oftimes one
worthy the name, and one of these
was the heroic figure of the dead.
Sid Hall was a man in every fibre of his
being, in every impulse of his nature,
and in every action of his life. He
was one of natures nOblemen-broad-
minded, open, honest and true.
The same fatal illness which hung
like fate over the lives of brothers and
sisters finally claimed the Youngest
and last of the family at O'Clock
Thursday afternoon at the home of
his uncle, DR.. w. W. Hall.
A little more than five weeks ago
he came down town for the last time
to the drugstore, his place of business
as one Of his prOprietOrs. This was
an object of his pride and care, and
feeling that it was his last visit, bid
farewell to the familiar associations
of the pl-ce, saying, "Goodby, shall
never see you again" Reaching home
he lay down upon his bed which closed
in the death scene Yesterday.
S. W. Hall was born February /,
1868, in Weakley County He was the
youngest child of Rev. Thomas E. and
Mrs. Susan Han. While a boy he
came to Union City in the fall of 1871,
and with the exception of about
year in Brownsville he was engaged in
the drug business here about fifteen
years.
There are many who remember his
romantic marriage with Miss Lizzie
Hotchkiss, of Brownsville, which
occurred May 81, 1893. She was a
charming young woman and lovable
Christian character. There was new
er more devoted union, but the heart
of the home was crushed in the death
of his beloved wife on the 9th of Feb
ruary, 1898. A little daughter was left
to cheer the husband for only few
weeks, when she too passed into the
beyond.
When II years of age he made a pro-
fessi IN of religion and joined the NJ.
E. Church, of which he lived an hon
ored member.
Services are to be conducted to-day |
ut the residence of DR.. w. w. Hall at
3 O'Clock by Rev. DIR. Mahon and Rev.
R. NJ. Vaughn, after which the re-
mains will be conveyed to East View
to be laid beside his wife
and child.
