SHE ESCAPED INJURY
But the Little Two Year Old Had
Thrilling Experience.

A most unusual occurrence took
place Tuesday in Scott township near
the w. r. Lacey farm. The two-year-
old daughter of Tunis VanVerbeak, a
prosperous farmer of Scott township,
is the heroine of the affair. The little
one passed through thrilling runa-
way experience and came out without
a scratch.
Mr. Verbeak hitched up a team for
a trip from home. He made prepar-
ations to take his family, and driving
to the front of the house hitched the
team. He went to the house, took
up the baby and placed her on a seat
of the rig. He turned from the horses
to call his wife when the little girl
picked up whip that was at hand
and possibly struck the horses. The
team started down the road and were
running away about as fast as an ex-
press train when Mr.. Van Verbeak re-
turned. The telephone was put in use
as soon as the nature of the affair was
discovered The neighbors down the
road were advised Of the approach OF
the runaways and asked to stop the
rig. Mrs. E. Klaaren got the message
about half mile from where the
team started. She and child arming
themselves with a stick or whatever
was near, ran to the roadway and max
ing demonstration stopped the team.
The little girl had been jostled from
the seat by the rough ride and was
lying in the bottom Of the wagon, APP
parently none the worse for her wild
adventure.

MAN 10 MOURN FOR
 J. GARDINER FIELD
The Funeral of One Whose Claim to Honor Lay in His Great love For Little Children.

The funeral of j. Gardiner Field took place yesterday afternoon. After ser vices at the Central Methodist church there was a procession to Greenwood cemetery headed by the Salvation Army band and the members of that organization in which he had for years been a consistent worker
 The hearse was followed by a closed carriage containing the sorrowing widow and several little children to whom the dead man and his wife had been father and mother. And. in spite of the attractions of the fair there was q long procession of the acquaintances and neighbors of the dead.
 Mir. Field had perhaps never cut an important figure in municipal affairs. There was not in all the town less ostentatious man but here has been no man perhaps who has done more real good Oher men have died here whose loss was felt over wider area but none has died who will be so keen ly missed by those within the partic- ular field in which he Iabored. It Is doubtful if any man has been more actually useful than he and his helpful wife have heen.
 His love for helpless children has been called a mania. If it was one. any man who tries to follow closely the teachings of Christ must be called maniac. All that the Savior had said about little children he believed and acted upon. fl Christ desired lit- tic children to come unto Him. MT. Field believed that He desired His fol- lowers to receive them and he did.
 It is said that he and his wife have cared for no less than fifty homeless orphans within a few years. The good they did cannot be measured. Beside the bodily comforts they afforded them there is the training which may have saved them from cirme and disgrace.
 They did not wait for the children to hunt them up but they themselves hunted them out, clothed. fed and gave them homes. All this is the more re- markabic. seeing that they themselves were very poor. MT. Field at d time of life when even a man in robust health feels that he has earned rest was compelled in spite of his fraIl frame and waning health to labor hard for the daily bread of himself and those whom he had chosen to protect.
 The man who does what he has done is a greater benefactor in his commu nifty than the man who causes streets to be graded and municipal improve

TtMPE
THE RIDENoUR REUNION.
Every member or the Family But One
 Was Present.

Much has been said and written dur ing the past few weeks regarding the reunion of the members of the Riden- our family which is being held here this week. The different members of the family came from the east. west and south to attend the event, and it has been a most enjoyable occasion for all concerned. No particular day was set for the reunion. but it had been hoped to have every member of the family in Tempe yesterday and on that date invite in the many Tempe people who were former acquaintances of the different members. Granville Ridenour arrived here Monday morning from Globe. and it so happened that on that evening it became necessary for MT.
 Sherman and wife of Kansas City Mo. to return on account of urgent busi- ness. That meant that the only time it would be possible to nave the mem sbers present together was Monday. On account of the limited time before the event. it was impossible to notify as many as the Ridenours wished. but during the afternoon on Monday large number of former friends and ac- quaintances gathered at the home of

It may have joined in the dirge. knowing at the time that it had really lost nothing for there are lots of men always prominent in their large or small circles and lots more ready and equally as capable.
