THE RAGING CAVE GREEK
Board of Trade Meeting Tonight Is an
 Important One.

There ought to be a rousing meet ing of citizens at the board of trade room tonight, to listen to the report of the special committee and engin- eers, on the question of the flood wat CTS of Cave Creek. The meeting is cx- pected to not only listen to the report but to take some action toward pre- venting a recurrence of these floods. It is proposed if possible to interest the legislature in the matter, but in order to do that the board must first determine what it wants the legislature to do, and that is the work cut out for tonight's meeting.
 Concerning the subject in general, one of the committeeman said that while he did not wish to anticipate the report of the special committee or the engineers. it was perfectly proper to say that the report would be intensely and unpleasantly interesting, not only to the people who live in the vicinity of the capitol building and in the track of the late floods. but to the people of the entire city and surroundinG country.
 Investigation has shown that the Cave Creek delta that is finally lost iiI the desert. on occasions of small rains, has been undergoing some very i'm portant changes; changes that should deeply concern this city. New chan

May Loose His Eye.

While playing with pocket knife
Wednesday afternoon, Glen Vanden-
berg was struck in the face with the
knife, and his right eye may be lost as
result. He is little fellow, about
ten years old, and was playing
mumble-to-peg." He took hold of
the knife by the point of the blade
and made an attempt to throw it into
the air. His attention was called
away for a moment, and the instru-
ment fell and struck the boy in the
face. The point of the blade went
through the eyelid and into the ball
of the right eye. The blade remained
in the wound till help came, when it
was removed, and the little fellow
brought from his home to DR.. Harvie' S
Office, where the injured organ was
dressed. Though nothing definite is
known as yet, the boy may loose the
eye as a result Of the unfortunate
accident.
