Frightful Accident.

About 6 o'clock Tuesday evening Ned Robinson was driving q horse attached to a sulky on Aspen ave nue, and in checking the horse the seat of the sulky gave way and he fell backward 10 the ground. When he was picked mp it was discoy cred that one eye was mashed out of the socket and hung on the cheek and an ugl y gash on the side of the head On a closer examination by a physician 1t was found that his skull was fractured from the eye to the ear. The injured man at this writing is in fair condition under the circumstances, and may re- cover, but he is minus an eye in any event.
 The witnesses to the accident were J. Herman and Miss Carrie Ports, but 1t happened so sudden and unexpected it was hard to tell how it was done. Mir. Herman could not say for sure whether the horse stepped backward and caused the injury, or the fall from the sulky was the main cause.-Gem.

COCONINO GOES ON RECORD.

J. E Ruffin passed through here Thursday evening on his return to Flagstaff from Tucson, where he had attended the territorial demo- cratic convention, having been Co- conino county's representative Mir Ruffin was & member of the com mittee on platform, resolutions, etc.. and protested and voted against sending an instructed delegation 10 St. Louis. His protest was omitted Intentionally, on the reading of the report, to give a look of solidity to the convention, but as Ruf1in rose to his feet to register his kick, the clerk made an announcement to this effect. Some of the southern papers failed to mention this fact, but one of them said: "Mr. Ruffin was one of the many delegates who could not be heard in the midst of the insane Hearst clamor. He was not in favor of instructions for any body, and less than all, in favor of instructions for Hearst. He is aware, like everybody else, that the insanity would shortly come to an end"
 The Phoenix Gazette of May 26 had the following:
 "J. E. Ruffin of Coconino county is at the Adams on his way back from the Tucson convention, where he distinguished himself as the only democrat in that medley assortment who had the courage to stand up and have himself put on record as opposed to instructing for Hearst. He not only had the secretary of the resolutions committee to so re- cord him, but when roll call was denied in the convention he in sisted that the minutes of the con vention should show that he for one was opposed to the journalist candidate.
 "Mr. Ruffin is an intimate friend of Mayor Taggart of Indianapolis, and he believes that the Indiana statesman voices the sane and sound views of the democracy, and he de- sires that his county, even if alone in the territory .>shall go on record against the radicalism of Hearst. In other matters Mir. Ruffin was in harmony with the majority of the
