 en Hours Later ty Engine of Train Ne. e-Recovery Is Doubtful.

What will probably prove to be a ia tai accident occurred to Edw. Ever. a lineman in the employ of the Bisbee Improvement Co. yesterday morning about half past nine near French Sta ton.
 The whole gang of linemen went out yesterday morning t1'nstall a tele- phone system on the H. A. Smith farm. The water supply giving out early in the day. the men sent Eyer over to the farm house to get some.
 Ever walked along the railroad track until he got to French Station. where he caught the hind car of the passenger train, which was just pull ing out.
 Several Of the linemen saw him leap from the train when he was about opposite the farm house, but paid no attention to him.
 When train No G was going past inc spot on it's way to Bisbee the en- -sineer saw a man lying a few feet from the track apparently dead He instantly stopped the train. and the Wa2 being found 10 he alive he was if.NA Ol bOulu anu O'l AllE dI " dl bL tue train in this city he was taken at cnce to the Copper Queen Hospital.
 Upon examination it was found that the mans skull was very badly frac- tured. and that he had sustained num- erous bruises about the body.
 The fracture is of such a serious na- tura that the mans recovery is very dorbrful Ever is quite well known al~~ut thN city. and is generally liked.
 The other linemen could not think what hal become of Eyer. and did not know of the accident until yester- day afternoon. when a man went down i- them with a canteen of water and told them of the occurrence.
 The canteens which Eyer had around h's neck were the principal cause of his injuries. Both of them were bent ont of shape. and it would seem that in jumping he lost his foot ing and feli. striking his head violent ly on them.

COUNTY ASSESSMENT
 HAS BEEN EQUALIZED
CHAIRMAN BOWEN RETURNS TO CITY AFTER THREE WEEKS
 AT TOMBSTONE.
Coehise County Stands Second in Ter rtory m Matter of Taxable Wealth Figure Will Be Better Than se,oo,- Cco.

Chairman J. J. Bowen. of the Board of Equalization, returned home lass evening from Tombstone. where he has been since the first Monday in July as a member of the County Board of Equalization.
 When seen last evening Chairman Bowen stated that ,he assessment roll for Cochise County would undoubtedly be above the nine million mark. and placed the figure in his estimation at S9. 100000 The last days of the session Of the Board were not marked by any sensational raises, as had been predicted earlier in the session. The assessment of the mining companies W ere allowed to stand as returned by the Assessor. In the opinion of the Board the mining companies had re- turned 9 very fair assessment, the Copper Queen Co. appearing on the roll for almost two million and a quarter.
 Property abutting on Brewery Ave nue in Bisbee and property in Doug las aEuttlnc on C. Avenue was rais- ei bv the Board. The Brewery Ave. property in B'sbee was raised from $50 front foot to S75 a foot. This .aprlies 10 property between the depot and the Brewery Gulch Restaurant on rotn sides of the street.
 Main street property is assessed for a valuation of S100 per front foot.
 The catuemen of the county came .in for tFe heaviest raises. something like S2O00GO being added to the valu- alton of 'he cattle owners of the cOun- ty The Board of Equalization ad- iourned on Thursday to meet again on August 21. At that time persons who have been raised by the Board have the privilege of appearing to show cause why their assessment should hot be increased.
 On Wednesday the Board made a trip 10 Hereford for the purpose of in spectine the new county bridge re gently constructed at that point. The bridge was accepted an dwill fill a lCng felt want in that locality, espe cially for the convenience of people residing in the Huachucas.
 Three clerks are at present at work making a copy of the assessment roll which will be forwarded to the Terri torial Board of Equalization at the earliest possible date.
 The Board also made progress in the matter of a poor farm for Cochise county. Attorney Gibson was in structed to make abstract of the Hay Hands property located between Charleston and Lswls Springs, as the most available site.
 C. A. Taylor, the Douglas member of the Board, returned to his home | last evening, and Wm. Riggs depart cd for Wilcox.

Ion9STeet OloSeS hecrultlng Ottlce.
Lieut.. James Lonsgstreet of Oklaho-
ma City. a son of the late General
Dongstreet. was a distinguished Wis
itor to Ardmore today. His mission
was to close up the recruiting office
which Sergeant Granfield has been
charge of, the past two weeks. Unfor-
tunately the office did little business
here in the way of securing recruits.
He had hoped to establish perman-
ent station or rather recommend 1t to
the war department. His ability to
secure 1t for Ardmore depended main
ly upon the showing made. There
fore it is highly improbable that the
city win be able to secure the sta
tion even though a favorable recon-
mendation should be made. 1t was
stated that Ardmore would be visited
again in the near future and applica-
tions received for enlistment. OF the
many applicants passed upon only
one man'was accepted. Sergeant Gran
field assisted in the work of closing
the offices here. Both will return
to Oklahoma, the headquarters for
this section.
Lieut.. Longstreet entered the SER
vice in 1898 and was sent to Cuba.
After the close of the war he was dis
patched to the Philippines where he
saw actual service. He was commits
stoned and has charge of a regiment
in Uncle Sans new possessions ana
has figured in several engagements IN
that country. 1t was during his SER
vice in the Philippines that his father
died
Returning to this country his regi-
ment was assigned TO different Sec
tions of the country. Recently he was
sent to Oklahoma City and has charge
of the recruiting Office there. He says
that this Is his first trip to Ardmore
and tnat he is greatly impressed with
the town. He is courteous in manner
and a typical southern citizen.

Amusements,

Many who remember the charming
girl with the pretty figure. who did
the club swinging act with "The Beau
ty Doctor" will be pleased to learn
that this famoys but modest beauty
will appear in the performance of "A
Trip to Egypt" next Saturday night
at the opera house.
Besides Miss Egbert, many other
new features will be seen with "a
Trip to Egypt There are some new
and many old favorites in the cast,
which is still headed by the team
of clever German comedians, Carson
and willard. who still continue to do
their side splitting specialties.
A new Jew character, played by
Golf Philips, is a great addition to the
comedy and the fakir as portrayed by
Jack Vincent is simply inimitable.
Among the catchy songs are Rose,
Sweet Rose "My Alsatian Maid,
Take a Stroll The Tale of the
Flowers" Fizz Pop" "The Drinks Of
the Nations" and The Hurdy Gurdy
Song"
New and novel electrical effects
have been added and the pony ballet
and grille chorus Have lots q" new
dances and pretty maneuvers. 7-2t

a Good Company.

An entirely original production will
court public favor when the opera
house throws open its doors next Sat
urday night. "a Trip to Egypt Is the
name of the offering and the fact
that book and music were written by
C. Herbert Kerr, who also gave us
"The Beauty Doctor" "Over the
Fence" "Papa's Baby" etc, is sufil-
cient to establish 1t as first class WI
all theater-goers. There is no end OF
in "A Trip to Egypt" and the com,
plications come fast and furious and
every movement Of the auditors time
is consumed with whirl wind rapidity
with the breezy comedy, the maneu'
vers of the pretty grille chorus and
the irresistible work OF the pony bal
let
Notwithstanding the fact that most
companies of the size and importance
of "A Trip to Egypt" usually charge
from $3.50 to $500 admission the
prices for next Saturday will be $1.OO,
75c, soc and 35c.. 7'2t
