July 4th, by the Accidental
Discharge of a Revolver.

The Herald has for some time
cen in possession of piece of
ad news which, for certain rea-
bns, has not heretofore been CIV
b general publicity. The victim
f the sad accident is known to
aany of the people of Hurley and
urrounding country, he having
Elsited here with his sister, Mrs.

whom he associated, and the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire

Mrs. Webster and other relatives

From the cooper Era of July
IL, published at Clifton, Arizona,
we take the following:
An accident occurred on the ball
grounds on the Fourth which de-
(prived Wallace Mcdonald, of Mo-
renci, Of his lie. Gus. Hobbs,
deputy sheriff, Of Morenci, was called
upon to arrest drunken man for
disturbing the peace. The man
pulled his knife and showed fight,
when the officer struck him with his
gun, the conclusion exploding a car

in the abdomen, front the effects OF

Mcdonald was an engineer for the

had many friends, who greatly re-

became abusive at once and wanted
to fight. Mr.. Thomas started to
take him from the grounds when sew
eral of his friends from Morenci
gathered around, some of them pick

prevent any serious trouble Mr..
Thomas turned the old man loose,
and he was soon again in trouble as
related above. Had his friends taxi

they would have assisted Mr..
Thomas in taking the old man off
the grounds, or in taking care of him

rather to take him away from the

a verdict to the effect that the de-

him. His funeral took place at Nor
enci the following evening and was
very largely attended, being one of
the largest seen here. He will be
long remembered by his friends here.
Deceased was cousin to Jack
Holmes, who was accidentally shot
here six months ago, and the two
who were such friends in life are now
sleeping side by side in the cemetery

were held Friday evening in the libra

sixteen years. in Morenci about
twelve years, during which time he

tragedy is that Mr.. Mcdonald was ex-

JOPLIN. Mo-, Nov. 14-In a cavein
at Oronogo, near here. the entire plant
of the Auroro Mining company, one of
the greatest zinc producers in the dis
trict, was swallowed up. No lives were
lost. The plant comprised hundred
ton mill, office building and engine
house, all Of which were engulfed, to-
gether with six gravel cars and an inn
mense failing pile. On entering the
ground short time before the cavein
occurred workmen heard the timbers
cracking and signaled to be drawn up.
The last man had reached the surface
only a few minutes before the timbers
collapsed, the earth yielded and with
a crash the whole plant sank into the
abyss. Further caving is feared, and
work in that vicinity has been sus-
pended. 1t is impossible to estimate the
damage.

Extension of civil Service.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-About 200
employees in the executive branch of
the rural free delivery service of the
postotiice department will be brought
into the civil service by an order of
President Roosevelt which, it is under
stood, will be issued within week or
two. These employees are clerks, spe-
cial agents and inspectors. The 5000
rural free delivery carriers throughout
the country will not be brought into the
civil service under the same order, but
they will be taken in at some later date.
Their civil service status is likely to be
somewhat different from that of those
first included, though the form of the
regulations governing them have not
yet been passed upon.
