My last two editions speak for them

remained until morning when she
went to the Armitage residence, the
first intimation of her visit to Mrs.

plete one it was none the less pleasant.
Mrs. Seiger was a passenger on the
west bonnd train which was wrecked
near Chalendar on Wednesday and was
among the first to reach the unfortu-
nate tramp who had his limb cut off
and who was the only one who was
seriously injured. Mrs. Sieger hap
pened to have some medicine with her
which she gave the unfortunate man
and which relieved his pain consider
bly,. a trained nurse also happened to
be on the train, and rendered valuable
assistance in caring for him until the
arrival of physician which was about
four hours after the accident. Mrs.
Sieger became so interested in the
sufferer that she has written to the
physician to ascertain the result of his
injuries.
While none of the passengers were
seriously injured, they suffered con
siderably from exposure and cold as
they were out on a bleak, snow cover
ed mesa, at an altitude of about 6, 600
feet from 4 o'clock when the accident
occurred until 10 O'Clock at night be-
fore a relief train arrived and provided
them with shelter from the wind and
cold.
After few days visit here Mrs.
Sieger will continue her journey to
California.

some time since, during which time
Mr.. Kneip was placed in charge of the
reserve. until the reinstatement of
Mr.. Hanna and he gave splendid salts
faction in the position, hence his re
assignment there. Mr.. Kneip is very
capable as a ranger and possesses all
the requisite qualifications to perma-
nently fill a position as supervisor

receive the permanent appointment to
the position. We're the appointing
power vested in the head of the forest
reserve department there is no doubt
but he would receive the appointment.
1t is presidential position however.
The Journal Miner congratulates him
on the honor, though it be only tenn
porary and sincerely hopes it may be

REFUTED

In connection with the divorce pro-
ceedings successfully prosecuted
against W. P. Covilland in Los Ange-
les by his wife we're some very caustic
as we'll as libelous statements against
him. He was accused of habitual in
temperance among other things and of
having tried to kill his wife while
they we're residing at the Prescott
hotel.
These statements we're republished
in Prescott with apparent sensational
gusto. Mr.. Covllland was resident
of Prescott for several years and no
person who knew him at all intimately
could ever make a charge of habitual
intemperance against him while there
is no doubt many who knew him rea-
sonably we'll that were not even aware
of his ever being intoxicated, at least
of their own personal knowledge.
The journal NJ liner has been inform
ed by gentleman who is in as good
position to know his habits as any one
that during all his years of residence
here be never knew him to be intoxi-
Gated to exceed three times and one or
two of them was during the absence of
his wife.
That he never attempted to kill his
wife while they we're living at the
Prescott hotel is best evidenced by
the fact that they never did live there.
it is a we'll known fact that he was
devoted to his wife and virtually
sacrificed his business in Prescott to
establish her in a home in Los Ange-
les and the stories as published in Los
Angeles find no credence among those
who knew him here.

IONA with him but on account of deli
cate health and the severe cold wealth

few weeks and will arrive here early

a splendid time and enjoyed every
minuta ot his visit he Is Glad to oct
back to the land of sunshine again.

Sack and Trousers Mixed.

A man of Southern birth and training was
telling crowd of admirers one day this
week of an amusing incident that came I'M
der his observation while he was in the
South, and as usual Negro was the ANUS
ing incident. The story is worth repeating
and runs like this: 'EThere was a certain
Negro on a farm who was inclined to run
about great deal at night, which, of course
meant that he was very sleeply-headed. One
morning he was called by the overseer for
work. He did not get up at once as he should
have and was soon as sound asleep
he should have been at midnight The other
hands had all gone The place of work was
fully two miles from home. 1t was cotton
picking time and early rising at that season
was common. When the man did not show
up the overseer passed along again and
made another vicious yell for him. In
frightened condition, he jumped out Of bed
and snatched up, as he thought, his cotton
sack and after running the entire two miles,
discovered on arriving at the cotton field,
that he had an old pair of trousers instead
of his cotton sack, hence he was compelled
to return to his quarter house for his sack

TALES OF THE TOWN
And Yet There S Money in Hosiery.

During the races J. B. MacDougal, the
well known dry goods merchant, was fire.
quent visitor at the Meadows and seemed
to enjoy the fun as well as the crowds that
were always present and taking a chance at
putting a dollar in the pool, trusting to get
at least ten dollars in return, which they
seldom ever did. One day while waiting for
the races to begin, MacDougal sat talking
to a friend and, naturally enough, the con-
versation drifted into discussion of the
profit and loss in the dry goods
business. In singing out the things on
which good money was made, Mr.. Mac
Dougal emphatically declared, ''There is no
money in hosiery" and went on to explain
why there was not But before the conver-
sation had been completed the first race was
on and the betting got lively. Near the
brace of business men sat a rather fastldlous
woman, who seemed to be as modest as
basket Of chips, but the prancing steeds eX-
cited her nerves and she soon picked WIN
ner and lost no time in getting her money
in action that she could make her trip to the
races profitable as well as enjoyable. Quick
er than a flash she yelled for boy, and
down she went to her stocking, pulling out
a roll of bills that would have made faro
bank dealer look like two bits with a hole
in it, and soon she had backed her judg-
ment with her money. The other fellow
looked at Mac and said: 81 thought you
told me but a moment ago there was no good
money in hosiery?" There Is always an
exception to every rule, but | would not ad-
wise you to go into those hose looking for
either good or bad money, came from Mac
Dougal. 1t was, however, one on the dry
goods prince, and the two lost no time as
soon as the racers had come in in getting
downstairs where all mistakes are cheer
fully drowned.

Why Man Gives Up His Seat.

There are those who say that man who
will not give up his seat in a street car to a
lady is a human hog. But sometimes [ have
my doubts about it. | have seen ladies(O
take the seat of tired, worn out man with
out as much as thank you. | have seen
women accompanied by two or more kids
who have allowed the aforesaid youngsters
to spread themselves over as many seats,
while men, foot-sore and stiff, swayed on the
straps. There are ladies for whom it IS
pleasure for even tired man to give up
his seat, and there are those whom it is posi-
lively shame for man to be deprived OF
comfort for. 1t depends great deal on the
woman whether or not man should give up
his seat, no matter what may be said on the
subject.-Y erkes.
Generally speaking, the lady for whom
cit is pleasure for even the tired man to
give up his seat to- is some pretty girl,
dressed in the height of fashion, who looks
at her victim on entering the car with a
beaming countenance and smiling lips, gives
him the idea that, she think, che is the only
man in all the world for her. The fellow,

the strap in the top of the car and bowling
like society ape at kangaroo ball at the

Had Red Hair Only

The latest thing in the shape of an Irish
story is being told by DR.. Allen p Mitten,
the deputy customs collector of this port.
You may have heard it. but perhaps the 9th
er fellow has not, so here goes: IAN Irish
man Just from Dublin wanted to become
naturalized citizen, and with that on his
mind, went to judge to be born again, as
it were Have you ever read the Constltu-
ton? p asked the Judge Nav, promptly
came from the would-be American citizen
Have you read the Bible?' again quizzed
the Judge Naw,' as abruptly came from
the Irishman without qualifications. With
puzzled look on his face, the judge, in des-
