SERIOUSLY HURT.
Mr.. MCLendon'S Forearm Sew
cred from His Body by Being
Caught in a Gin Friday.

A very serious accident occurred to
Mr.. Alvin McLendon at the gin of Mr..
Ed Moreland, near Sasser, Friday
morning. Mr.. McLendon's hand was
in some way caught in the gin, and be-
fore any assistance could be rendered
him his entire forearm was severed
from his body. DR.. Dean was at once
summoned from Dawson and immedi-
ately responded TO the call. He sue.
ceeded in staunching the flow of blood
from the severed arteries, the young
man having bIed profusely. 1t is be.
lieved that he will recover.
Mr.. McLendon, the injured man, is
we'll known in Dawson. His many
friends greatly deplore the serious ac-
cident which befell him, and hope
that he NAV be speedily restored.

FOR SIXTH TERM.
Bill MCLendOn Does Not Enjoy
Much Freedom These Days.

Bill McLendon is the name OF me-
gro who is finding such very valua-
bic article as personal liberty and
freedom about as scarce as hen teeth
these days.
Bill is evidently peculiar charac-
ter, and his principal propensity IS
breaking into penitentiaries and con-
Wet camps. Three weeks ago Bill was
released from Mr.. Crowell Lundy's
camp near Sasser, where he had just
completed a twelve months sentence
from Tattnall county.
But the sight of a chicken proved
irresistibly alluriug to Bill, and he
took it without previously consulting
the owner. Disappearing of this
method of procuring the toothsome
fowl, Judge Parks sent Bill on anoth-
er visit to Mr.. Luudy-this time for
period of three months.
This is the sixth successive term
served by Bill for his misdemeanors.

CONTINUAL BELT OF HOT AIR
People About Dawson Hardly
Know What Hot Is.

People 10 and about Dawson do not
realize how really blessed they are to
live in Goods country" where burn
ing heat nor bitter cold is never felt.
The general complaining about the
lawfully hot weather" when the mer-
curry climbs up to SO in the shade
should be shamed into silence by the
printed particulars of the climate in
Arizona, where it is really hot. A
traveller going from Los Angeles, Cal,
to Phenix, Ariz D., is in continual belt
of hot air, where the temperature is
seldom below los degrees in the shade,
and often nearer lis degrees. Several
times recently the temperature in the
cars, while crossing the Colorado and
Maricopa deserts, has been even liz
degrees. From June % to July 4 the
average daily temperature at stations
on the desert along the railroads was
III degrees, and the old-timers say
that the sun had not begun To get
down to active business.
In all this region Yuma is acknOwl-
edged to be the banner hot town in
America.
At 2 p. m. the mere ury stood at III
degrees in the shade of wide porch.
At it registered 119, and az 4;30 it
was l20 degrees. This was the highest
notch of the day.
At 4:30 p. N. the mercury was back
at 1l9, and at 5 il was down to ll6, and
from that hour until 2 a. m. it fell ev-
cry hour until it stopped at LOG. Then
the Yuma people went to bed on cots
in the yards and on piazzas to take ad-
vantage of the cool of the night for
slumber.
This is fair sample of the weather
in Yuma and southern Arizona towns
from the middle of June until October.
Occasionally the temperature will rise
TO 124 and even to 127 degrees, and
there have been few seasons when
for sixteen and eighteen days at a
stretch the temperature in Yuma
ranged from ia to 1876.
The walls of buildings are as hot as
if they were ABOUT ovens. The railroad
men handle coupling links and pins
only with leather mittens. Pressing
ones hand against d window pane is
like touching hot plate.

A FINE BARBECUE.
MIR. ]. II. Smith Royalty Enter
tains at His Farm.

Mir. J. H. Smith, one of the clever
and successful farmers of the county,
had abouta hundred Of his neighbors
and friends to gather at his hospltaoie
home FIVE miles northeast OF
Dawson last Friday and enjoy the
numerous pleasures attending an Old
fashioned barbecue.
When the noon hour arrived every
visitor felt that it was good to De
there, for the list of edibles was not
confined to barbecued meats. The
good ladies spared no pains in the Gull
nary art, aud had prepared great bas-
kets of cakes, pies and fried chicken,
and almost everything that could sat
isfy the human appetite was provld-
ed in profusiou. The meats were bar
becued by Mr.. George Allen, and the
manner 10 which they were enjoyed
was compliment to him.
1t was assuredlya happily spent day.
and with the evenings pronouncement
of the end there were hearty hand
shakes and wishes for future meet
ings.
Mr.. Smith is to be congratulated on
the success of the occasion, which VIII
long associate him pleasantly in the
memories of his guests.

ALBANY, August 22.-Five negro
prisoners escaped from Dougherty

night. The men escaped by saving
through an iron cage in which they
we're rincarcerated and then saving
asunder a single bar in one of the WIN
dows in the corridor. The escape was
discovered about an hour after the ne
groes left and steps were at once taken
for their capture, but up to a late hour
the efforts of the officers have proven
frultless. All the negroes were
charged with burglary and larceny.
