RACE IN SYRIAN WATERS IN
WHICH HE LOST OUT.
Was Pitted In Old Tub Against Crack
Boat Of BattIeship San Francisco,
But Afterward Won Honors In Try

Talking about sports in the navy,
said Mr.. j. B. Lowe Of the naval re

franche, France, and she had an idea
she was it in the line of race boats.
She pulled over to us that evening
and tossed under our bow with mel
dinghy. Our dinghy was a tub compar,
ed to hers, but we were game and ac.
cepted her challenge. A crew was
picked out consisting of four men, OF
which Cole pulled bow oar, being the
lightest man in the crew., and | pulled
second bow, being next lightest man.
The two stroke oarsmen are now on

trough of the sea for five miles
straight, l knew We wouldn't stand
much of a show with our sixteen-foot
oars, but didn't say anything.
We'll, We got started and our boat
acted like an old tub. Every time the
sea hit her she would dig her nose un,
der and swing away off her course.
The other boat won by two minutes,
and we lost the hardest pulled race

hard ones.
But We got even before the San
Francisco left for China. We pulled a
racing cutter race and | don't believe
she has finished yet. So keep your
eye open when she does come in"
Cole is on his second enlistment now
and Lowe is on his third, and at the
present time they are here and have
opened a recruiting Office till the 2Sth,
when they leave for Alliance, Ne,
braska.
I'VE met some Japanese cruisers
and Russian battleships while at King
Edwards coronation in 1902" said Mr..
Lowe, and l certainly admire the way
the Japs handle their ships. They are
all as quick as natural-born athletes
and are very quick at obeying orders.
The Russian looked to me like a big
fort, and would make an excellent tar
get at a long distance. She had about
four rows of guns and if they were ev-
err fired at one she would go down
like a piece of lead, because they were
too much for a ship. The Russians
are all big, healthy looking men and
although they are courageous and
brave, they lack the eye to aim a gun
and have very little target practice

"whose daughter was in love with a

"All went well until the third course

Fell to Eternity.

Florencio Nillescas. d Mexican in the employ of Dell NJ. Potter, and working on the Golden Ophir property. met death yesterday morning by falling into shaft dis tance of eighty-fve feet. He had been working at the bottom of the shaft and was being hoi>ted on a rope to the surface when the accident occurred. At the end of the rope is loop, through which the unfortu- nate man placed one leg and gave the signal to be hoisted up. When within five feet of the surface. from some unknown cause, he turned loose all hold and fell to the bottom, the fall killing him instantly. It is thought that he must have tainted as there is hardly anything else that would have caused him to turn loose. Deceased was about forty-eight years of age, of good character and had been in the employ of MT. Potter about eighteen months. He worked in the blackmith shop until last Mon- day, when he was changed to the mine. He was an experienced miner and had many friends in this district.

4 Costly Accident.

On last Thursday afternoon, at
 about 3 o'clock. just after the ERA | had gone to press. Jack COughlan. l the oldest and one of the most eff cient section foremcn in the service ] of the Arizona and New Mexico rail way. met with an accident that cost him his right limb below the knee. The accident occurred in d rather peculiar manner and from what the ERA reporter could learn. it was not employees of the company in any man. ner. Mir. Coughlan was walking through the yards of the Coronado railroad. He was on the main line with his back turned to an approach ing train, which was switching q mar TOW guage tank car on the house track. Jack was moving along in d rather unmindful manner, and just as the tank car approached, he stepped from the main line directly in front of the moving train on the side track. The car was so close that the warn ing given by the train crew could not prevent injury, although it is likely that it saved his life. Hearing the cries of his comrades to Hook out, Jack" he looked back and saw the car right at his heels. It was indeed a most exciting moment. Jack made quick move. but just as he started the brake beam struck the heel of his left foot and he was thrown to the ground. It seemed as though death Was certain. but his body fell in the clear. while the wheels passed over his right limb. between the knee and ankle. The car was stopped al most instantly and the injured man picked up and taken to the A. (. hospital bv the tender hands of his sympathy-stricken comrades. He suffered great agony. It was at first thought that he had lost both feet, but an examination disclosed the fact that his left foot had been painfully crushed, but amputatiOn not ncCcs- sary. His right limb was amputated about twelve hours after the aCci dent and the patient is getting along as well as could be expected.
 Mir. Coughlan has been in the cm- plov of the A. & x. NJ. railway as section foreman continuously for about twelve years and has the repu- tation of being one of the most trust worthy men on the road. He is q man of family and was a heavy suf- ferer in the January flood. MiSfor tune has prevailed over him since the first day of 1905.
 Mir. Coughlan has the sympathy of the entire community.
