When the train rolled into the sta.

catch a glimpse of the First APOSTLE
He was given most spectacular well

ties motto: God be with thee" down
&c the iffeyerent Good boy, Dowie,'
were showered upon the old man in
bewildering confusion. AS he walked
through the crowd he was, for time,
in danger of bodily hurt, SO great was
the crush. The police seemed power
less to hold back the spectators. When
he had travelled about half across the
depot platform man waving legal
paper sprang at the First Apostle =
and was thought at first to be an
attempt to do him physical harm
Zion guards, who crowded about close

police officers picked up the man bod

He LOSES BOTH FEET
TRAMP HAlLlNe FROM CEDAR
RAPIDS BADLY HURT AT Ev-
ANS THIS MORNING.

Special to Daily Herald
Evans, Ia, April 11.-Because James
Sparks was intoxicated when surgeons
operated upon him, taking of both
legs just above the knee, he came
through the operation with almost no
shock and is getting afong nicely win
good chances for recovery. Sparks
is "bum" who, while drunk early this
morning, was run over and had both
feet mashed on by the freight which
leaves that city about o'clock a. m.
Sparks halls from Cedar Rapids.
Last night with three other tramps he
came up from Eldon to Evans and
stopped off here. He was gloriously
full and continued to celebrate. About
1:45 this morning the early morning
freight which had just made quick
trip in to Oskaloosa, returned to Ev-
ans. In backing up to nltch onto the
cars left behind on the trip to this
city, Sparks was run over Both feet
were mashed off.
Sparks saw the train coming and
struggled helplessly TO get out Of the
way He was on hands and knees try
ing to crawl from the track when first
seen by the trainmen who were too
near to stop the locomotive in time to
save him. 1t is supposed that the
man crawled on the track to go to
sleep.
Sparks was put on the train, DR..
Clark summoned from Oskaloosa, and
the freight made a quick trip to OF
ttmwa, with the sufferer and Dr.Clark
on board, Since sparks was drunk
he suffered little. AT ottumwa he
was taken Immediately to the hospital
where Drs. Clark and Williams oper.
ated simultaneously, each taking leg
at the same time to avoid shock.
AS it was, the man was only under
the anaesthetic a short time, and be-
cause he was so drunk, received
scarcely any shock.
The surgeons say that because or
intoxlcation the shock was much less,
but becaue OF intoxication there was
also the accident.

the GRAHAM GUARDIAN

THE GUARDIAN is not given to
Dragging about Its fast increasing
subscription list, but a little Incl.
dent occurred last week that was
particularly gratifying to our
management: a repres tatlve of the
American Type Fou ndry called on
the GUARDIAN during press day
and noticed the regular run OF
papers. He remarked that sit
was decidedly larger than any
other weekly paper in Arizona,
or California for that matter"
To our certain knowledge it equals
the combined circulation of all
papers throughout the valley. The
principal reason for the GUARDIANS
wide circulation is the fact that
when an issue comes up, Of what,
soever nature, this paper faces the
music and writes its editorials ac-
cordingly. A newspaper is bound

it has the backbone to "take sides"

THE REGISTERS IDEA

By the most persistent effort
and with determination that
would not yield to the most ad-
verse criticism, John j. Birdno,
assessor of Graham county, has at
last succeeded in bringing the
great mining companies Of his
county to terms in the matter of
assessments upon their properties.
They have at last, after much con-
tention in and out of the courts,
accepted the figures at which he
assessed their properties this year,
the sum being an increase of some
thing over s2,500,000 over the
amounts upon which they have
heretofore been paying taxes. The
result of this action on the part of
Assessor Birdno will be of wonder
ful benefit to the people of his
county in equaliEing, in a great
degree, the burden of taxation
which in the years past has borne
heavily upon the farmers, mer.
chants and those engaged in other
industries in that county. 1t Will
have the effect to decrease their
taxes fully one-third. Last year
the rate IN that county was 1915
on each 500 of property values.
This year, by reason of the ir,
creased assessment of the miu' ing
properties, it will be about ~ %,
For this relief that Mr.. y5irdno
has brought to them the people OF
Graham county owe him ), debt of
gratitude that they sb ovid never
forget. As man and a public
officer he has shown himself
worthy in the highest degree, and
we make the easy guess that they
will remember his fidelity to their
interests and reward him accord
ingly.
And, just while we are in the
line Of guessing, we will make one
of the easiest Imaginable, and that
is that the democratic party of
Graham county, claiming, as it
does, to represent the true interests
of the people, will turn down the
numerous political trimmers that
time after time aspire to represent
them in the upper house of the
Legislative assembly, and will
name Mr.. Birdno as its candidate
for the council.
1t the party puts Mr.. Birdno at
the head of its ticket the record he
has made will bring to its support
more strength than any other man
1T could possibly name; and, be-
sides, it would be just recognizing
the meritorious work that has
been done by faithful, earnest and
efficient public officer.
The effect of Mr.. Blrdno's sue
cessful efforts in the matter men,
toned will not be to benefit the
people of Graham county alone.
1t will have its effect in every min
ing county in the territory, and
will result in making the mining
corporations bear their just and
equitable portion OF the expenses
OF county and territorial govern
ment,-Globe Register.
When asked if he had any in
tention Of becoming a candidate
for the council, Mr.. Birdno replied
that he has no intention of aspir-
ing to legislative honors at all
He SAID if he became candidate
for anything it would be for the
Office he now holds.
