RIDES TOUR DAYS WITH BROKEN
 ARM.
(Fsom wedassdsy's Daily.j

 from the Grand Canyon country, where the accident happened, before being able to secure the services of a sur geon competent to reduce the frac- turc and relieve her suffering.
 With her was her faithful friend and companion, Miss Helen Richards, whose kind attentions and genial dis position kept her in good cheer every moment of the tedious journey from the place where the accident occurred, until Dr. Linn of this city set the broken limb and reduced her pain to . minimum.
 The story of the accident, as told yes. terday by Miss Selo, in her apartments at the Scopel hotel, while slightly ting. ed with romantic adventure, is yet sad in some of its details.
 She said in part: "Miss Richards and l were returning from an outing in tbs Grand Canyon country, where we spent several days viewing ihe sights of the great gorge. On Thursday the mule on which ] was riding showed some m. easiness. and bucked very hard with me, afterwards quieting down and tra. yelling quietly along.
 "wbcn within about 3s miles from Williams. and about 3:3O in the aftcr- noon, the mule again showed uneasi. ness. but believing that he could not | throw me, stuck n spur in his side. He started to buck and the saddle com. ing loose slipped forward over his | neck, and l was thrown over his head heavily to the ground. At first I did not realize that my arm was broken, and when I turned over and saw the mule standing n short distance away. looking at me in n very peculiar way, with one ear up and the other hanging down. ] could not help laughing and wishing that I had n kodak picture of myself and tho beast no we eyed each other in such peculiar positions. Sud. denly l felt n great pain in the crazy bone of my left elbow, and on rising found that I could not use my left arm. It then dawned upon me that my arm was broken. The pain was something terrible. and with the assistance of Miss Richards, l bound it as best l could. Being then at least 3s or 70 miles from Williams, surgical atten. ton was out of the question until we arrived there. Miss Richards caught the mule, and we rcsaddled it, and with her assistance l again mounted the animal and proceeded on our way. Af- ter riding a short distance tho pain became so intense that we agreed that the best thing to do was to go into camp for the night, knowing that 1t was Impossible for us to reach there before night would ovcrtnke us.
 "Staking out the mule and horse, we went into camp, and after spending n night in torture we again resumed our journey at daybrsak. Again iu the saddle felt AS if l did not care whether the mule bucked again or not as long as I vas satisfied that the cinch was tight, hut as if ordained by luck. the mule was good for the entire trip. Arriving in Williams n physi elan was hastily summoned, who, find. ing that my arm was badly swollen, advised mo to continue on to Los An. geles and there secure the services of good doctor. l begged him to do something to relieve my pain, hut it seemed that everything he did added more to my sufferings.
 Finally on Sunday mfrning afte, spending a night in agony, Miss Rich ards and l concluded that we would come to Prescott, SO we took the first train ont of the place on Sunday after. noon for this city. We arrived here on Monday morning, and ] was very for. tunate in securing the services of Dr. Linn. who set my arm and relieved my pain after q little effort. [ am resting easy now. and hope to he able to ride again in a short time.
 "Leaving out this little mishap, l consider our outing in the Grand Can. yon country one of the most pleasant experiences of my life. As it is, the grandeur of the scenery of that land will always he in my memory, hut l will never forget that mule as he stood gazing at me. with the saddle pulled forward on his neck, with one ear standing straight mp and the other hanging down. after bucking me on and breaking my arm"
