Judge Shirley Badly Hurt.

On Sunday last, Judge Shirley, who
is in the employ of the A. G. COM
pany at Metcalf, and in charge of a
gang of laborers, met with quite a
serious accident, which will confine
him to the hospital for several
weeks. 1t seems that the ore in one
of the large ore bins got ''stuck, u
and in order to loosen it so that it
will run through the ore shoots into
the cars it is necessary for men to go
down into the bin and pick it loose.
The Judge had some men working for
him who did not understand the
business and he went into the bin to
show them. This is somewhat of a
ticklish business. 1t is customary for
the man on top to give the alarm when
the ore commences to move, but the
new man did not understand this and
before the Judge realized it, the ore
came down upon him so fast that he
could not get away, and he was soon
buried under ten tons of it.
1t was impossible for the men
to remove the ore from the top
of the bin, hence the only way re-
lief could be secured was to draw
the ore off through the shoot and
into the cars. This was done, and
the Judge came out with the ore.
His left leg was broken at the knee,
and he was badly bruised about the
head and body, but the most remark
able feature of the accident was
that his life was spared. He was
brought to the A. c; hospital in the
evening, where his leg was set and
his wounds dressed, and he is now
getting along as well as could be ex-
peCted

Attempted Murder at MetcaIf.

Saturday last Juan Hernandez
Juarez severely stabbed a Mexican
at Katzville, who is now at the A. C.
hospital, undergoing repairs. 1t is
not thought that his wounds will
prove fatal, but he is dangerously
hurt. Juarez claims to be "bad
hombre," and after his arrest he
cursed the officers in both English
and Spanish, and threatened to kill
all of them when he gained his liber-
ty. The chances are that he will
serve long term in Yuma before
again making his appearance in this
part of the country.

Globe Jail Lost by Flood.

On Monday last owing to rise in

undermined, and fell into the creek,
and is complete loss. The struct-
ure was of brick and was quite a
large affair. There were forty pris-
oners in the Jail, who were removed
before the building fell. Several
prisoners who were confined for
serious offenses will probably be taken
to Solomonville for safe keeping I'M
til new Jail can be constructed.
The country around Globe has been
visited by exceptionally heavy rains,
and a considerable amount of dam
age has been done.

The Merchants carnival given by
the ladies of the Baptist church at

night was an innovation in the way
of public entertainments in this sec

season, and elected much favorable
comment. 1t was huge advertising
scheme, interspersed with good music
and recitations. Almost fifty bust
ness institutions were represented in
the carnival, hence a general in
crease of business may be expected.
Unfortunately for the entertainment
the weather was most unfayorable,
hence the attendance was not what
it would otherwise have been, how
ever it was financial success, and
Melted the ladies about $40.
