Col. Ben Crawford arrived home Friday night. He was in the wreck and had the experience Of his life. He was in the last sleeper of the east bound train, and was sound asleep when the wreck occurred. He Is sound sleeper, and when the crash came he thought it was the porter trying to awaken him for Tucson, as that was his destination, but this illu- sion only lasted for moment as there was great confusion, and mOstOf the men, women and children were screaming and crying. He realized that he was in q wreck, and grabbing his clothes and grip, made his way to the car door and stepped out. when, such scene oi horror as he hopes never again to wit ness, met lis gaze. The train was all ready in flames. Several hundred pco- pie were on the ground, all in their night gown, rushing frantically from place to place trying to save the moro unfortunate ones who were crushed and caught III Illc DuI lllilS "l''h' I ''N fire was so hot that but little could bc done for those in the wreck, whose agonizing appeals for help, rent the air. The cries of the wounded, the walls and moans of the dying, the stench of the roasting flesh, the illumi- nation of the desert by the red glare of the burning cars, all combined 10 create an impression not soon to be fac- gotten. Mr. Crawford does not yet caro to talk of the wreck, but he tells a story Of q porter on dead head sleeper which has not yet appeared in print The sleeper was immediately behind the one upon which he was passenger. and Was the last car in the train. When the crash came the cars were broken apart. and were brought to a full stop. The train was travel ing up d steep grade. and soon after the collision this dead head coach started back down the track for Tue son. Some Of the spectators called to the porter to put on the breaks, but he evidently did no understand them or they would not work, and soon the car was rolling away towards Tucson at d fearful speed. The porter realized that something would soon happen, and to protect himself as much as possible he gathered up all of the bed clothes and made q huge pile of them on the floor of the car, and then crawlcd into the center Of them. When the car reached the Tucson wards it was travelling at the rate of not less than one hundred miles an hour, and sure enough something did "happcn', for it struck an engine stand ing on the track, and was cut squarciy in two in the middle. The porter was thrown twenty feet in the air, but was not injured in the least, though it took some time to convince him that he was not killed. He was badly scared Negro. The next morning it was found that his hair was not only per fectly gray, but had also lost all of its kinks duriuU the night.

A Plague Scare.

There was considerable excitement at Morenci and Clifton last week caused by tho rumor that Mexican had died at Morenci from beaubonic plague. It seems that Mexican tool; sick n Noreuci soon after arriving on the train. and in few hours he Was a corpse. Rumor- Of al. kinds were soon in circulation. and II wa7 said that the corpse turned black within a few holr- after death. It wa7 a--o stated in Clifton that The body and the building had been burned. Justice Chapman was down from Noreuci this week, and from him the ERA learns that there Was very little truth in any Of the statements except that theMezi- can died soon after reaching town He was from Fl Paso, and had been q month on the road, having been em- ploved in some of the railroad camps. It was not true that the corpse turned black. neither was the body CT ematcd nor the house burned. However, the rumor itself is not without benefit. as it should cause our people to take a keener interest in sanitation and the spread Of contagious diseases. Our territorial health officers along the line of Mexico should be furnished with ample means and help to prOtc ct the people of the territory from this dreadful disease. If the plague ever strikes the happy-go-lucky population of this camp, with the careless sani- tary habits of It's people, it will be ''all off'i with them.

Justice Chapman was down from Morenci this week and made the ERA a pleasant call. Mir. Chapman is con testing the right of the board of supervisors to issue a second certificate to Justice Settle Of Morenci, and now has the case in the supreme court at Phoenix. When the case came up last week the board Of supervisors was not represented, though the records were in court. The court thereupon gave a decision ir Mir. Chapman's favor, hy default ot defendants to appear, but afterwards received lengthy tele- gram from Seth Hazard, who was then in Clifton, and had been employ ed by interested parties to look after the case stating that the notice was so short that he did not have time to pre- pare his case, and asked for n continu- auce. The court considered the mat ter favorably, and carried the case over until the twenty-third day of this month, when the question will be determined.

Arrested for Theft.

One evening last week Deputy Sher- if John Parks observed a young man from the D. C. store at MOrenci pawn a new watch for few dollars, which he at once proceeded to lose gam bling. The young man left the table, and followed by the deputy, he pro- cceded to pawn another watch, which convinced the officer that something was wrong. Mir. Parks secured the number of the watches and telephone then to Mr. Van GOrder, manager Of the store at Morcnci, who commenced an investigation, and soon learned that the watches had been carried in stock, and were missing. His room was searched and thirteen watches and lS1 ounces Of filigree jewellery found concealed therein, also two suits of clothes and an overCOat, which had also been stolen from the store. After this discovery Ralph D. Emery, who had been employed in the store only three weeks, was placed under arrest by Deputy Sheriff Hobb. to whom he CODItSSeu HIS CIlillt' anu Slittb tllib llt was born theft and could not he lp it. He was arraigncd before Justice Chap man, but waived preliminary eX- animation, and was bound over 10 await the action of the grand jury and is now in jail at Solomonville. The young mans father is capitalist O. Oakland, California, and is now en- route from his home to get the young
 man out of his difficulty. l. is likely
 that the bond will be put up in cash,
 the young man taken away and the bond forfeited The old gentleman is
 more than eighty years Of age, and is highly respected citizen. With
 wealthy people this sort Of business is termed kleptomania. which is polite
 word for theft, which is the common term used with people of limited means. There may be such disease as kleptomania, but it is like the gout. for it is never observed except among the wealthy. It is fortunate that the young man was detected in his crooked practices while he had been with the company but q few weeks.

psny CUTTING TeIephone wIres.

TO the Editor of The Leader:
An article appearing in the morning
paper. purporting to be an interview
with e. E. westeryelt of the Pioneer
Telephone company, in which he is
reported TO have said that they have
found several telephone wires cut, and
citing as an instance the lines of tho
company n West Guthrie, calls for a
statement from the Central Labor un-
ion and most emphatic denial that
none Of tn" linemen who, last week,
severed their connection with that
company have had anything TO do
with. OF have done. any OF the cut
ting OF the wires of the company
since the strike was FIRE declared We
can hardly believe that any Of the
linemen would be guilty OF such an act
and to the company's reward OF 500
we would respectfully add our s25 re
ward offered for the arrest and con
viction Of any person or persons found
guilty Of tampering with the lines.
The cause, no doubt, Of the wires be-
ing cnt is from inexperienced help
and boys which they have attempted
10 employ The linemen art not out
to do any damage to the lines. If they
are giving good service We do not see
the necessity Of having the numbers
called, as Is the case now, and which
never was until inexperienced girls
were employed TO take the places Of
the former girls.
Mr. westervelt is reported to have
said that only two telephones had
been ordered taken out TO the best
OF our knowledge we know OF over 80
phones having been ordered out.
If the statement is intended 10 mean
that the l:nemen who are now on a
strike cut the wires on the west side.
It is not true and any such state
ment only casts a reflection upon the
conduct Of the linemen in this strike.
The linemen have never tarnpered
with the lines Of the company since
they went cut
