the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment OF

trouble is due to diseased condition Of the

TRAGIC DEATH
 OF A PIONEER
Was ThrOWa From Animal He was Riding and
 His Skull Fractured

Globe, Oct. t1.-Tragedy and pathos are combined in the story brought from Pleasant Valley by Cy Byrne Cn Monday. J. R. Haigler, a pioneer of that county. well known in this sec ton of Arizona for many years. was thrown from . mHle he was riding on September t6 or 27. the precise time not being known to anyone, sus- taining injuries from which, together with exposure and loss of blood re- suited in his death on September 29, interment taking place on the 3Oth.
 Deceased was a single man and his comings and goings were so cratic that no notice was taken by MT. Young, his nearest neighbor, of his absence until the mule he had ridden away returned to the ranch riderless. He left home to repair a water gap and was advised not to ride the animal Ie bestrode on account of it's vicious tricks, being but half broken. but he insisted. He was warned that the mule would shP at a certain spot and near this same place he was found un- conscious by Mr. Young and cempan. Son.
 They ascertained that he had repair ed the water gap and was on his way home when he was thrown from the trick mule. A sharp edged jagged rock. matted blood and gray hairs. gave mute evidence of the manner of his wounds. He revived few mo- ments after they found him and told at odd moments how he had lain there for nearly two days being unabie to make anyone hear his appeals for help.
 When he became conscious he ex- perienced awful thirst and dragged himself to a pool a few yards away. In his efforts to get where he might slake his thirst he fell into the water nearly up to his armpits With de- spairing energy he grasped the bank and drew himself partially from cer- Vain death and had dug his hands into vhe earth. his legs being immersed to the knees. The horrors of mental and physical sgosy endured by this enfeebled old man during the awful hours can only be imagined. But he must have died a dozen deaths if. indeed, he was more than semi-con-l scious.
 He was lifted ol horse and care fully hrouPht to his ranch where medi- cal aid was quickly summoned and every thirr dops that was possible to restore his lost vitality. but his ad vanced acc. t'ie great loss of blood and dreadful exsosure had rendered their attempts abortiVe.

MILTON IS HUNTING
 A LOST MINE
Widely Known Frontier Diff. Cef and Associates on
 a New Trail
Phoenix Enterprise.)

: J. D. Milton, whose record as a frontier officer would make an inter, esting story, spent a few hours ID thoehIx IhIS morning. joining sam F weob and George Webb m their search for a lost mine near Arlington Milton'S left arm has been crippled for several years as the result Of his having been one of the central figures in the famous Fairbank train. robbery in which Billy Stiles and Burt Alvord s gang attempted to rob the Southern Pacific train to Nogales.
 But for the bravery of Milton. who was express messenger on the train the robbers would have succeeded in making rich haul. As it was, Milton received a bullet wound in the left arm between tke elbow and shoulder that necessitated the taking out oi 1 three inches of the bone.
 In pitched battle with the robbers Milton killed one of them and wound ed several others. He beat them off after they had succeeded in getting SPA in Mexican money. They never reached the safe containing a large amount.
 Burt Alvord is now serving a term in the Yuma penitentiary and Billy Stiles is a fugitive from justice as a result of this robbery, though neither of them took an active part in 1t. They were at Wilcox at the time. but it has been proven that the gang that at. tempted the hold-up was acting under directions.
 In speaking about the hold-up this morning Milton stated that five mask. cd men were in the party. One of them ordered him to throw the yalu ables out of the car. but instead he opened fire. The battle that followed was desperate one. the robbers be ing driven off and escaping into the mountains.
 Milton is now in the immigration service with headquarters at Nogales. His duties take Tim to points all along the Mexican boundary between Yuma and El Paso.
 For many years Miltop has been aE officer along the frontier. where the iawbrekears were the most numerous. Tn early days he was a member of the Texas rangers and later chief of po- lice in Fl Paso. His reputation as an enemy of criminals is wide.
 Milton reports that five Chinamen were caught three days ago at No gales as they were attempting to cross the Mexican boundary. They are now in jail there. Two Japs who had been refused admission under the i'm migration laws. attempted to cross anyway. and were caught recently at the same place.
 On his way to Phoenix Milton saw ChiEamau board the train at Pata conia. He asked him for his certifi- cate and found that he did not have any The Chink was brought to Tue Son and put in jail there.
 After Milton and George Webb. i'm migration inspector. get through their search with Sym Webb for the lost mine. they will go for a hunting triI into the mountains
