A Horrible Experience.--Luke Will Hams, who had both arms broken by an accident at the pump at Osborze several days ago, had an experience which will remain vivid in his memo ry the remainder of his life. The ac- cident occurred in the well sixty feet from the surface where the pump is stationed. After getting his arms caught in the machinery and both broken he was unconscious for a con siderable length of time. When he finally regained consciousness and found that both arms had been broh- en he climbed out of the well on a lad der. using his chin to steady himself, by hooking over the ladder rounds Br. Williams was reported last night as getting along very well, though his arms have not yet been set by the doctors

DISINCORPORATION HITS
 INTERNAL DISSENSION SNAG
CONTRACT DRAWN BY BISBEE AT ToRNEYs DOES NOT MEET THE APPROVAL OR GET SIGNATURES OF DOUGLGAs SALOON MEN.

1t looks now like all the talk of any suit for the purpose of annulling the city incorporation in Douglas has gone up in smoke. This assumption is based on the remarks of one of the saloon men in Douglas yesterday who was expected to make large contribution to fund 10 fee the lawyers in the proposed suit
 When the city council fixed the H. cense for saloons at $125 per quarter a number of the saloon men of the city got together and agreed that they would make an attempt to annul the proceedings by winch the board of supervisors incorporated the city. At 'torneys were consulted in Douglas, but all gave advice that nothing could be accomplished by attacking the action of the board of supervisors, as the de- cisiOn of the board was final as to the sufiiciency of the petition.
 Afterwards it was given out that the law firm of Neal & Ross, at Bisbee, had given encouragement to the Douglas saloon men and agreed for a fee of sS00 to put the city council of Douglas out of business. This fee was to be paid $150 cash at the beginning of the suit and the balance of S650 to be contingent on the winning of the suit.
 A contract regarding the fee was sent to Douglas by the Bisbee attor- neys. but it is stated by those who were expected to sign and become re- sponsible for the fee that by it's terms the whole amount of the fee would be payable whether the suit was won or lost
 This is not according to my under standing of the agreement" said one of the saloon men last night, and it will not be signed and I consider that the proposed suit is a thing of the past and that the only way the city government of Douglas could be mo- tested now is by the petitioning for disincorporation under the statutes.
 Another thing, those who expressed a willingness to contribute to the pro- posed suit have not come forward with the money, and it takes money to fight in court Some would no doubt have paid their share of the expense, but good many would have failed to make good at the proper time, thus leaving the burden on 9 few men

StDu and ONueF-lip or Nle lrJpertg- j. F. Suits is reported to have stated today that in case the original own CTS of the mine held the piJperty all Jhe original stockholders would be protected.
 Mir. Suits Explains.
 Mr. J. [. Suits is one of the origi- nal owners of the mine over which the present trouble has arisen. He said this morning that the full amount called for by the bond vas left in the hank at Bisbee. but that the cashier of the bank was specifically instruct ed to pay certain amounts to each of the original oNne'S of the property. 'Thcs a.a .ats wtie wroEs. r. in- stance. the amount ordered to be paid to Dir. Suits was S3,0o0 short of the amount due him.
 Mir. Suits stated that Mir Graham held 6 power of attorney to receive the money for the mine owners, but no tender of the whole ar2ount was made to Mir Graham at any time.
 The above is a stateuent of the facts concerning the trouble, as near as could be learned.
 It was stated by NT. Suits this morning that Mr Graham had gone to take possession of the Fl Tigre property as the representative of the Ensenada Mining Company. Q MeXi- can corporation organized recently by NIT. Graham and local Fl Tigre men in this section. It is presumed that the original owners of the mine have sold to the New Mexican corporation.
 A beautiful lawsuit in Mexico looms up in the distance.
 
 Since the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Fl Tigre company held here last April there has been friction between the stockholders at this end of the line and those at Kan sas City. At the annual meeting B. r. Graham, who promoted the company and had been its president up to that time. was deposed and Mir. Sooy Of Kansas City was elected to succeed him. Mr. Graham was elected as vice president and general manager of the company This nosition he resigned on June 5.
 craha7's Position Now Mir Graham in trying to get posses sion of the mine is acting. as beforC stated, as the representative of tha Ensanada Mining company, a New Mexican corporation organized only ten days ago. MT. Graham holds an option on the stock of this new corl- pany, which is now held in escrow at the Bank of Douglas in this city. Tue Ensanada Mining company is now the holder Of all the rights to future pay ments cn account Of the Fl Tigre mine due 10 the original owners, so Mir. Graham, holding an option on the stock of the new company. Is really in individual control Of all the inter. ests of the original owners Of the Fl Tigre mine
 D. A. Richardson of the firm of Rich. ardson & lockwood Of this city, has been the legal adviser of Mir Graham in the steps which have been taken in the matter waich had led up 10 the present tangle. Judge Cass was called to Bisbee yesterday 10 give his opin. ion on some legal points which had arisen in regard to what would con, stituLe payment, or tender Of pay, ment
