DRAccED BY A HORSE.

Linton. the seven year old son OF Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Simmons. who live
at the governmental date orchard, met
with an accident yesterday afternoon
that for a time looked serious indeed,
and last evening his condition was still
somewhat precarious. He was riding
horseback with another boy yesterday
afternoon returning from school. The
horse bucked and he was thrown but
his foot caught in the stirrup and
he was dra gged some distance before
the animal could be stopped. While
he was not rendered unconscious, he
was badly bruised all over. DR.. Moeur
however, said that he did not look for
ANYTHING serious unless there should
be later developments or complications

AN ALFALFA HULLER.
A Machine Particularly Adapted for
Alfalfa Threshing.

Henry Sandoz yesterday received
from South Bend. Ind, by way of the
Santa Fe. a machine known as an al
falfa huller. 1t was made by the Bird
sell company of that place and was
purchased through the Arizona Hard
ware and Vehicle company. The hulleI
was set up during the day and in the
afternoon was started to get all the
parts in good working order for MI
Sandoz proposes to lose no time but
expects to begin threshing this morn
ing. The machine worked very well
yesterday considering its newness. 1t
is a self feeder and has the wind
stacker attachment the same as Is
used on most of the grain threshers II

ed by the gasoline engine used on th'
baler.

is that this years eighth grade has
larger attendance than has been known
heretofore. None of the rooms are
crowded but il is expected that there
will be a much larger attendance in
the course of the next few weeks, after
things are in good running order. One
thing that will doubtless add to the
attendance this year is the fact that
at a recent meeting Of the board 1t was
decided to rightly enforce the compul-
sorry school law. This law prescribes
that children between the ages Of eight
and fourteen years must attend the
public school for six consecutive weeks
during the term. It might also be well
for the parent to note that the teach
ers are not responsible for the chill
dren before half past eight in the morn
ing and they are not allowed on the
school ground before that time. There
was little done yesterday aside from
the arranging of classes and there was
no school i'm the afternoon. Everything
points to most successful years work
and the members of the faculty are
very well pleased with the start made
yesterday.
I At the training school there was an
] enrolment of 121 which is twenty-nina
less than the number that viii be al
lowed to attend. Hence most of the
0 grades are pretty well filed up but
there is room for more. This is par
ticularly true in the first and fourt
. grades for in each there were bu1
eight pupils yesterday. There was n
fault to find in the way yesterday pass
ed at the school and the teachers lool
forward to a very good years work
Just at present there is some little in
convenience on account of the crowded
condition in the school building blu
this feature will be eliminated yer,
shortly for the work on the new train
ing school is progressing rapidly AM
it will not be long before it can be used

SHIPPED TO PRESCOTT.

The latter part of last week 7. II.
shipped 1900 pounds OF al
monds to various merchants in Pres
colt. Mr.. Spainhower has one of the
best almond orchards hereabouts but
the yield this year was rather below
the average and the total crop viii not
exceed sixteen or seventeen hundred
pounds. The quality, however, is eX-
ceptionally good and he received a
higher price from the Prescott mer-
chants than he ever received for the
crop before.

A LATE CROP OF HAY.

1t looks strange to see a man buying

yesterday. He purchased two McCor-

and will begin putting up his last crop
of hay for this season this week. The
crop was too heavy for MS old ma
