the door locked, broke open the win dow and piled himself head first through. He had plenty of bedding and crawled into it, where he re. mained for two days and half before he was discovered.
 There was no water in the cabin and he ate snow to quench his thirst /; there was plenty of food, but he ate nothing. He made no fire, for the reason that there was cap on the chimney top to keep out the snow and the rain; and as the door was locked he could not get out to remove it. When discovered, he rode a horse to Maxton. and from there took the stage to Prescott, arriving here Thurs day. He is now cinfined to has room in the Scopel Block. His feet and ieft hand are slightly frozen, while his right hand is badly frozen, the ends oi the fingers of which hand may have to be taken off
 His experience was certainly a ter rible one, and a very unusual one for this section of the country. When the newspaper man visited him yesterday, he was eating his dinner and evidently
 ate with keen appetite. The horses were found all right

This object is an outlet to its main line on the north for the pro ducts of the heart of Sonora. but they will be fought every inch of the way by the Phelps Dodge interests, and consequently it is problematical wheth- Ter the Southern Pacific will reach the city of Douglas by the way of Nacozari.

PRESCOTT, Jan. 7.-About l p. m. last Monday, Alex Ratcliff, the well known mining man, started from Ties colt in livery rig for Maxton. He ar, rived there just before dark, found that he could get no lodging for his team, and started for Walker. When he reached the top of the divide, a howl
 ing blizzard was raging, the cold was biting, and he could not see his hand before him in the driving snow. His wet clothing quickly became a sheet of rattling ice, and his gloves were frozen stiff to his hands. Even then he says, he would have gotten through all right, but one of his horses Hound

 He had only the use Of one hand. With this he drew his knife from his pocket, opened .he blade with bis teeth, cut the harness from the horses, and they were thus enabled to get up and noye off. They would have frozen to death had he left them
 Then, partly walking, crawling, and dragging himself, he made his way to his cabin, 500 yards distant, found

FL PAsO WOMAN RUN OVER BY
 G. \. TRAIN
Was Returning From YSIeta to Her Home On the County Road When Her Horse Ran In Front of Freight Train

FL PASo, Jan. 6.-Mrs. Jesus Santa Cruz de PendelI, wife of George Pen dell, who lives on a ranch two miles west of Ysieta and adjoining the j.. ranch, met a horrible death beneath the wheels of c. H. & s. A. freight train half mile from her home yes terday morning about l0:30. Mrs. Pen dell had been to Ysleta in buggy and was returning home when the ac. cident occurred. At a point where the county road. crosses the G. II. 6 IS. A. tracks Mrs. Pendell's horse frightened at a passing freight train and becoming unmanageable ran on the track Immediately in front of the train. The engine struck the horse and threw it into a cattle guard. The buggy was overturned and Mrs. Pen. tdell was thrown under the wheels of the engine and then by the force of the impact with the train was thrown to one side.
 i When the body was picked up by the train crew 1t was found that death must have been instantaneous. The unfortunate woman's face was terribly crushed and the upper part of her body was mangled.
 The body was carried to the home of County Assessor George Huffman and later brought to this city by Mo Bean, Simmons & Carr, undertakers The funeral will take place some time today from the Church of the Immacu late Conception and the interment will be in Coneordia.
 Mir. PendelI was in Fl, Paso at tEt time of the accident end was notified lof his wife's death through a tele phone message sent from J. Smiths tranch. As soon as the message va! delivered to the bereaved husband he lhitched up his team and hurried II the direction of his home.

i counting the votes in this district In addition to setting out these irregu- l larities MT. Hardiker charged that dur l ing the count handsful of ballots wore i scattered about the room and that i itwenty-seyen ballots were taken from the box and that twenty-seyen other l ballots were substituted in their stead.
 Mir. Hardiker, in his suit, did not ask 1 for recount of the ballots.
 Rumored Charges.
 It also has been talked on the
 streets Of Douglas more or less since 1 the contest was instituted, that it
 would be proven that several old i marked ballots were taken by MT Overlook from the stove in the office
 of the justice of the peace, where the election board had repaired the night l following the election to go on with the counting where they could have i a fire It is admitted that some of the unused ballots were scattered after the voting had ceased-one pad con taining 100 ballots, being missing. l This fact would tend to discredit any claim that the ballots found in the stove were ever in the ballot box; 1t would have been possible for some ! one to take the unused ballots and mark them and place them In the i lstove. It is not likely that anyone will testify in court that these stove ballots were ever cast or were ever | in the ballot box, and unless this could be shown the circumstances would amount to nothing in consider
 ation of the fact that the unused bal 1 lots were left where they could be got. 1 ten by whoever wanted them.
 Progress O. the Election.
 The election in district in Doug las proceeded regularly ca the sixth i of November; the friends of the op posing candidates were thick on the streets and active all day long, solic I ting support for this candidate os that. There was no suggestion thai l the election was not being conducted I fairly and squarely and in each voting booth were representatives of the democratic, republican and socialist ! parties. There was no charge ol
 fraud.

CONCESSIONS
 CLASH IN SONORA
tcontilaued from Page 11

ests of the Moctezuma Copper com pany. The Phelps Dodge people will oppose the Harrimans at all points of the compass on this proposition. The canyon near Nacozari. through which the Moctezuma river flows on it's way south, for a distance of about fifteen miles is narrow and forbidding. With out the expenditure of many millions of dollars only one road can be run through it. Both parties claim the right-of-way through this rock and mountain-bound pass. Both parties have surveyed the route and at this time the S. P. people have a large corps of surveyors within two miles of Nacozari and on the premises of the Moctezuma Copper company. Con tracts for ties have been executed at both ends of the disputed line. $. F. cars of dump carts, picks and shovels are now in Nacozari ready for use in the work of grading and, 1t is said, construction work will begin within ten days.
 South of Moctezuma the Phelps Dodge surveyors are also busy at the
 present time. The Moctezuma Cop
 per company claims that it has the right to build a railroad through this canyon even if the Nacozari railroad
 company has not Their concessions, granting this right, are in effect and were granted by the state of Sonora. The S. P's right came from the fed eral government and conflict with those of the Moctezuma Copper com pany, and it may be a long, bitter fight before the question will lbe decided, unless the parties get together and settle matters amIcably. Recently the Southern Pacific sur veyors have received orders to run a
 line down the west bank of the Moe tezuma river and more than a score
 of men are now on the ground to car " out these orders.
 From Cumpas, a 'dobe town of
 about 4000 people between Nacozari
 and Moctezrma, the s. P. company
 has made a survey northwesterly to Cananea This route is level and com
 parativeIy an easy one over which to
 build a railroad If the s. P. people
 could stop at Cumpas and run to Can
 snea it would end the trouble; but their concession says go to Nacozari and go they must or lose it. The NacoZari folks know this as well as
 anyone and will blockade the s. P.'s program with their copper company concession.
 The Southern Pacific company also has a survey made from Agua Prieta to San Bernard4no ranch, and thence
 down the Bavispe river to its junction
 with the YaPli. The Bavispe is a wild, tortuous strea mrUnning through deep canyons and the survey is along the mountains adjacent to 1t; but there are many deep canyons and ar
 royos to bridge and the cost of 1t
 would be millions. This route makes three the s. P has surveyed toward the north. The road from Guaymas up the YaQui river is known as the C. R. and P. railroad ana tnfs would seem to indicate that the line will eventually run to Cananea; but Mir.
 Thomas Wigglesworth, assistant chief engineer of the s. P. system, is quot
 ed as saying that he did not yet know
 over which of the surveyed routes northward the road would be built. MT. Wigglesworth is very able man
 and has charge, with many assistants,

was no suggestion that the count was not proceeding regularly; the crowd was good natured and there was no one who mentioned that any fraud or even irregularity was being attempt. ed. The count was finally completed and it showed that Ben Rice had been elected by a majority of 19; still there was no suggestion of fraud and every body went home with the knowledge that Ben Rice had been elected justice of the peace by very narrow margin. Contest Talk.
 Early next morning it was rumored around the city that c. A. Overlook, who had bet s1100 on the justice con. test, intended to contest the election on the ground that the election board had taken the ballot box to a restaur- ant, where the members went to eat their meals during the count. It was also claimed that all the unused bal lots had not been returned to the board of supervisors. It was believed that this was only talk as all the law yers agreed that a contest would not stand on mere Irregularities where there was no fraud charged or proved.
 On the day following Mir. Overlook had bunch of marked ballots or pieces of ballots, which he claimed would be used as evidence in the con test case.
 During this talk Mr. Hardiker, who had been defeated for justice of the peace, expressed himself to a num- Der, so it is said, that he was satis- fled personally with the fairness of the election and that he would file no contest unless it was at the command of bis party. He stated to several that he believed that his defeat for jus tice of the peace was the result Of the bet made by Mir. Overlook; it was known that after the bet became known that quite number who had previously been rated as Hardiksr men in the campaign turned to Rice as & means of helping Overlook to lose his money. If Mir Hardiker felt that Overlock's bet defeated him it is a wonder that he did not bring the laws punishment on Overlook by caus- ing his arrest for betting on an cleo ton. rather than seeking to punish Ben Rice by taking an office from him to which he had been elected. Getting Ready for Trial. During the week large number of
 witnesses have been subpoenaed in Ethe contest case, including slI the I election officers and those who were present from time to time during the
 count as representatives of the sey

NET FISHING IN BANTAM.
Alert Game Warden Abroad in the Moonlight.

Game Warden Charles E. Nickerson of Torrington, captured Allen Bissell and Benjamin Coe of Bantam early yesterday morning in the act of taking Ash from Bantam Lake with nets in violation of the game laws.
 The officer has been on the watch for week, as reports of these viola tions have been frequent, but the of- lenders were crafty enough to set their nets by moonlight and take them up at daybreak.
 Wednesday morning the Game War den saw the two men approach the shore and go out in their boat to take up the nets. He drove around the lake and intercepted the men as they landed with a haul of twenty suckers and bull heads.
 Coe. surrendered when placed under arrest but Birssell escaped In the woods but was found later at his home
 The two men were brought before Justice Woodruff and on their plea of guilty were fined $25 and costs, amounting to $49,16 for each man. They were allowed a few days in which to raise the money and the nets were or dered by the court to be destroyed, The charge of fishing in Bantam Lake out of season was not brought against the men, as they were suffi- ciently punished by the maximum sen- tence on the other charge.

 New Haven easily outplayed Holyoke at the Prairie yesterday aftrenoon and won by the score of ' to g. West was in the box for the locals and was in splendid form. The nine hits which Holyoke managed to pull from his de- livery were we'll scattered and several were of the scratch variety. The feat \. ure of the game wa sa pretty catch by Wade in the fourth inning. He ran Clear to the leftf1eld fence and pulled the ball down within three feet of Hy- man's spot. He was loudly applauded Bunyan and west both had their bat ting eye with the myesterday, getting three hits apiece off Dolan.
 New Haven started the scoring in the first inning. Connell received a base on balls: Wade was hit by the pitcher, and then stole second, Connell going to the third station; Sherwood got base on balls, filling the bases. Bunyan then came to the rescue with pretty single, Cornell and Wade scoring.
 In the second inning Jope opened with neat single to left field; West also hit out neat single. Fitzpatrick was safe on a fielder's chose, Jope be- ing caught out between home and third by nearly the entire Holyoke team. West and Fitzpatrick scored on an error by Boucher.
 In the third inning Sherwood started with long hit to center, good for two bases. He scored on Mahoney's fly to Lepin New Haven again scored in the fifth, Wade received a free pass and stole second and score don Bun vans hit. In the seventh New Haven made her victory sure one by SCOT ing again. Hayward made his first hit of the game and crossed the plate on Mahoney's single.
