Fri9htfuI Accident at MOrenciI

Mr Foster, Harry Crane and a boy
 known as Overall kid' met with
 very serious accident while cdmlnS down from Morenci one mighty this
 week, by which they were all lbadly
 hurt. They left Morenci after dark and were driving at q pretty lively rate when the tongue Of the buggy struck one of the supports Of the first culve-t of the railroad just this side or
 the Newtown road. The buggy tongue
 was broken and before the horses could be stopped the buggy was upset and its occupants thrown to the ground with great violence. Mr. Foster sus- tained compOlnd fracture of one leg.
 Mr. Crane had three ribs broken and the F. i'd was generally bruised up, and pretty badly hurt. but nothing Of a serious nature. Mr. Crane managed to make his way to Newtownf where help was secured. Mir. Foster was taken to the hospital where his bro ken leg was dressed. He will be F ! up for several weeks, however, .aey all consider themselves very It. rssy that some of them were not killed.

C. at Morenci. one nige+ 144fs- week shot and seriously .wonris6 d man by the name Of ThompEoe. or Wells, who had previously bee the employ of the Shannon con ? .ny. It seems that the two men .ad been rooming together, and that Gardan quit his job and got on q big drunk, and while in that condition Thompson met him and asked him if he had given up his job. It is said that Gar dan, without further prOvOcLtion, then jerked out big six shooter and took d shot at his friend, the ball pAssing his mouth md jaw, .nflbcting a very painful and ragged wound Thompson then ran away andI soon found doctor who dressed his wdunds. Gardan was arrested and is now ih the tunnel at Morenci. He is d man of more that fifty years of age, and has two sons living in Clifton. ThOmpson, O" Wells. is about thirty years of age. and is said to be good steadyiman. It seems that he was known as Thlomp- son in Clifton, but was on the paE roll Of the D. C. company aS Wells.
