yesterday when he came down town in the morning. His face was skinned beyond recognition; he carried one arm in a sling and said that the visible de fleets i'm his appearance were less than half the actual damage that had oc- cured to him the evening before in a runaway accident in front of the Cath oIic church. He was driving a fast horse in an open rig about dark and at the corner met a Mexican youth in cart who also was going at a good rate of speed. The Mexican turned back into the road too quick and the wheel of his cart connected with the wheel of MT. Bucks buggy just enough to capsize the vehicle. MT. Buck was thrown out on the ground but managed to hold to the lines until he was dragged some distance when he saw that there was no chance of stopping the horse and let go. The animal ran a short distance down the road and stopped. The victim upon taking ac- count of his injuries found that his left arm was sprained at the elbow most of the skin of his forehead was missing, his face was otherwise injured and he was considerably bruised all over. The Mexican boy escaped without a scratch.

TEMPE PUMPING PLANT.

The Tempe pumping plant is again in use after having stood idle for a long time, the extra water not being required by the farmers under the canal Of late, however. water has been more in demand and there has been less of it in the river, conse- quently the plant has been started again by Engineer Gustafson and will be run day and night as long as the water is needed. The machinery is in good shape and the plant is throwing more water than ever before. Mr Gus tafson says he can easily throw 1900 Inches now whereas when the plant was first started its capacity was but a thousand inches. The difference is accounted for by the raise in the water level. Since the construction of the plant the water has come up about fif- teen feet and the lift" for the pump is correspOndingIy less, thus increasing its pumping capacity.

The pOstOffice is not always to blame as the following instance will prove. No doubt some Tempe lady is al the present time wondering why she doesn't hear from Montgomery, Ward & Co. or receive from that firm a cata- logue of rain coats, etc. Possibly she is blaming the postoffice department for carelessness and neglect. If she will call at the office here she will find that her letter was received by Mont gomery, Ward x Co. and returned by them to the postmaster here with the request that he find if possible the writer of the letter, as it had no sigma ture. A postal card is also at the office with no address and some one is likely wondering why he or she does not get a reply to it.

NO FAMINE IN NORTH DAKOTA
Railway Official Says Reports Thereof

st. Paul, Dec. q. According to
Howard S. Elliott, president of the
Northern Pacific railroad, the reports
which have been circulated in regard
to fuel and provision famine in North
Dakota are without foundation so far
as it is known by the railway COM
panies. The railroad officials are par
ticularly emphatic in their statements
denying the food famine reports.
Elliott said: "None of the Northern
Pacific officials has had any informa-
ton or complaints about a shortage of
food or other necessaries Of life Oil the
