GIRL STRUCK WITH STONE.
Trouble Started With Snowballing
 and Had Serious Ending.

Snowfall throwing caused a mix up on Maple street last evening shortly after 6 o'clock and as result young girl on her way from work was unconscious for about ten min uteS. A woman who lives on Maple street was waiting in her yard for her husband. Just as he reached his steps snowfall came through the air and struck him in the back of the neck. But although he did not mind it and passed into the house. his wife took upon herself to stand up for her hubble" She was of the opinion that one of two girls who were back of her better half had
 thrown the snowfall and she grabbed the young lady by the neck as she was passing the steps. She
 had almost choked her into insensi- bility when young man, an em- ploye of the Clock factory came to the rescue of the girl whose neck was being squeezed. But the woman with the strangle hold was a fighter and it took lew good healthy wal lops to make her let go. Then she went into her yard and picked up a large sized stone. Sne let it fly into the small crowd which had collected because of the excitement, and a girl
 who was simply curious to learn
 what the trouble was, received the stone on the head. The stone
 knocked the girl down and it was ter minutes before she was revived by those who went 10 her assistance. Nt arrest was made.

BANK IS CLOSED
Durango Institution Failed to Open It's Doors For
 Business Today.

Durango, Col, Dec. 1.-The Smell ter City bank of Durango, a state ln- stitution, capital S30,000, failed to open this morning. No statement of it's assets or liabilities has been given out but the deposits are believed not to exceed $100,000.
 Charles Mcconnell, president of the bank, said that all liabilities would be paid in full. Lack of con- fidence, due, it is said, to the inGict- ments of prominent citizens on charges of land frauds under the federal laws led to the suspension of the Shelter City bank, as well as the Colorado bank, which failed last week.

It will probably last an hour or longer but at any rate 1t is thought that the big crowd will be ready to commence eating at 11.3O. At that hour il is proposed to begin serving the eight steers. Visitors and all are ad- vised that the town will supply bar occurred meat, bread and pickles in any amount but 1t will be required that those partaking of this repast. be prepared to handle the food with their own tools The use of knives and forks, however. is not compulsory: fingers will answer the purpose equal ly as well. It is estimated that all will have had sufficient by 130 or 2 and the hose contest is billed for the latter hour. This will be followed by a sack race at 2.30. a foot race at 2.45 and the fat mans race at 8. The baseball game will commence at 3.30 with the tug of war at 5.30.

MESA
THE MILK QUESTION

When the Mesa Dairy and Ice Plant
 was built it was in response to a kick
 from the milk producers that the
 Tempe Creamery was not giving them
 a square deal. That institution at the
 time was cutting the price down to
 the lowest point. and many people quit
 the milk business because they claim
 ed that the test given them was not
 correct and then the price was too low
 to make the business profitable The
 business men of Mesa and some of the leading dairymen got together. raised the money to build a first-class plant and began the manufacture of but ter, cheese and ice. The plant cost over s30,0O0 and this money had to be paid. The management raised the price of milk over that paid by the Tempe concern and then paid out greater part of the indebtedness on the plant. The Tempe Creamery went into practical bankruptcy and would. no doubt be closed today but for the fact that it was sold to a condensed milk concern. The latter, in order to run, raised the price of milk beyond what can be paid by the M. D. & I. Co. without sacrificing it's standard of butter or exceeding its income. There is no blame attached to the Tempe creamery. Its managers had to have the milk. and can make small profit. Several of the leading producers of Mesa quit their home creamery and are patronizing the trust. It is a matter of money with them, they say. Yet what will be the result if so many should follow their course and force the Mesa creamery out of business? It would not be thirty days until the price would again drop to the lowest point, and the producer would find that he was losing two dollars to where he saved one when the home plant was running.
 On account of the present condi- tions the milk producers got together evening and discussed the subject thoroughly. It was hoped to arrive at some plan by which the Mesa Dairy and Ice Co. could continue to run at profit sufficient to keep.l on reducing the indebtedness and at
Arizona republican., 1907-06-29

the same time be able to pay little more to the. producer for milk. No definite plan was decided upon. and the question was turned over to a committee consisting of H. B. Morris jr., w. B. Allison. Al Millett. John Phillips and J. M. Horne. who met with the board of directors yesterday afternoon to continue the work. What ever the committee and the board agree upon will be submitted to an- other meeting of the milk producers to be held at the town hall at two o'clock today. The Mesa Dairy & Ice Co. is now equipped with a splendid plant. This belongs to the business men and farmers of this section and is entitled to the loyal support of the public. IL is a home institution and keeps the money the Mesa COW produces in the community where every man. woman and child receives benefit from 1t. The product of the plant brings the highest price on the market, by req son of it's excellence. Should it be compelled to close down. it would be a severe blow to the farmers. Many of them who now largely depend upon the sale of milk for their ready cash, would be compelled to dispose of their cows to the injury of what has been one of the most important industries of the valley.
 It is believed that there are enough loyal citizens. however. to work out a plan by which the creamery of Mesa can run at a profit and yet be able to pay a living price to the producers. The report of the committee will be awaited with interest.

HURT IN A RUNAWAY.

The little daughter of Mir. and Mrs.
 Gabe Cosner was the victim of quite a serious accident yesterday afternoon
 and the wonder is that the little girl escaped with so few injuries. She and
 her mother had been calling at Mrs.
 and upon leaving. the little girl got into the buggy first while Mrs. Cosner unhitched the horse. The animal became frightened and got away, making a wild run down Sth street. In front of the J. w. Woolf home, the rig collided with tree and the top was torn completely off the rig. The little girl was thrown to the ground and for time it was thought her injuries were serious. A physician was called and upon examination, it was ascertained that she was not dan hurt, though very much frightened.
