HAPPENINGS IN THE COPPER
 CITY

her fathers ranch on Oak Creek. about thirty miles from Jerome, by being dragged by a horse.
 Only mearer details of the accident have reached here as yet, which are as follows: Frar k Jones of Jerome, who has ben fishing on Oak creek for the last few days, and who arrived in Jerome this morning, was at the Schnebly ranch when one of the horses came rushing in, dragging the ifeless body of the little girl, tied to him by a rope, one end of which was tied securely around the neck of the child, and the other end to the saddle. The child's clothing was completely torn from her body, and her head was crushed and mutilatcd. The horse had evidently passed through the creek, for the rope was wet.
 There are all sorts of conjectures here by people who are acquainted with the mode of life on the ranch, as to how the accident happened, the most probable of which seems to be that the children, the little girl and her brother, who is her senior by two years, went out on the horses, as they were in the habit of doing, to drive up the cows. While coming home the horse, on which the little girl was riding, became frightened, and threw her off, and as she fell the rope, coil ed on the saddle horn formed moose and fell over her head, and was pull ed tight by the horse.
