Railroad Affairs

Assistant General Freight and Passen- ger Agent Parkyns of the Southern Pa cifc Company was in the valley Satur- day last, going with c. R. Redwood, to Calexico Of course the visit had to do with the general question of business in the valley and the extension of the rail road, but nothing definite has been made public regarding the plans of the company for the immediate future. There is no daubt that an early eXten- sion of the line is in view, though whether it will bend to the ears through Paringa or go due south remains to be seen. While in town Mir. Parkyns ex- pressed great personal interest in de- velopments here and declared the rail road company would keep abreast of the needs of the valley.

NURSES HAD STRUGGLE

Had it not been for the prompt action
of Miss Harriet Tourison, night superin-
tendent of the Delaware Hospital Will
mington, and Miss Mabel Harshaw, one
of the nurses, the indications are that
Theodore Lenhart, delirious patient,
would have jumped from .third-story
window Wednesday morning and in all
probability killed himself.
Miss Harshaw was in charge of the
private ward on the third floor and she
had gone to the diet kitchen to get some
cracked ice, when she heard the crash of
falling glass. Miss Tourison, who was
below, also heard the crash and rushed
up stairs. On returning to the ward
Miss Harshaw went to the cots of two
other delirious patients before she learned
the trouble. She had left Lenhart Sleep
ing and he had not been delirious.
To her great surprise, she found him
standing on a window ledge preparing to
Jump to the pavement below. Together
with Miss Tourison, she rushed to the
window and dragged the patient back in
to the room. He attempted to tear him
self loose from the grasp of the two, but
ne was placed on the bed and strapped
down.
He managed to chew the straps loose.

a cup. He again was fastened down, but
soon began to rave, and it was with diff.
Guilty that he was quieted.
Mr.. Lenhart is well-known in Middle.

Parker & Son Co., harness factory for
several years.

sPoRTsMEN DO NOT FAVOR BILL

Sportsmen are almost unanimously
against the shortening of the game sea-
son as advocated by bill introduced in
the Legislature by Representative Para
dee. In speaking OF the proposed change,
a leading sportsman said that the present
legal season for shooting quail and rab-
bits, from November 18th to December
Bit, inclusive, is short enough. He
claims that during the fifteen days in
November the weather is entirely too
warm for quail shooting, and that De-
cember, owing to the severe frosts, the
birds take to the woods and spoil the
morning shooting almost daily. Then
again there is snow on the ground when,
of course, it is unlawful to shoot quail,
usually the ground is frozen, making it
very rough OH the dogs feet, and fire.
quently the dogs have been rendered
entirely useless for the remainder of the
season from that cause.
