NARROWLY ESCAPED
 DROWNING NEAR MESA
Mother and Four Children Precipitated From a Bridge Into Canal.

On Tuesday last, while returning home from a shopping trip in Mesa and in attempting to cross the big canal near her home, Mrs. Thomas Buyers narrowly escaped drowning by the vehicle in which she was riding, going off of the side of the bridge.
 Mrs. Buyers had spent Tuesday af
 ternOon here in shopping and was re- turning to her home, accompanied by her four small children. The animal which Mrs. Buyers was driving. sud
 denly started when on the bridge, which is constructed across the canal near the ranch home of the Buyers. and the bridge having no side railings. the buggy ran off upsetting the occu- pants in the stream of water. The four children escaped from the over turned vehicle and flOated down the canal. The mother. however, was not so fortunate, and was pinned beneath the buggy. Several Mexican labOrers working nearby at the time. saw the accident, some of them running to the assistance of Mrs Buyers and others rescuing the children from the wateJ The children we're none the worse for their experience aside from the fact that they were thoroughly drenched. Mrs. Buyers was uncOn- scious for several minutes after being taken out of the stream. but has thor oughly recovered from the accident.

who is now living in Mesa, suffered the loss of the suit case and by chance saw a man carrying it as he got on the train ct Phoenix Wednesday even ing bound for Mesa. It likewise hap pened that Deputy Sheriff Reed was on the same train on his way home from Phoenix where he had been on official business. The lady related the circumstance to the deputy and the man with the suit case was placed un- der arrest and taken off the train here and held on suspicion until yesterday morning when a formal complaint, charging him with the theft of the case was filed against him. The hearing was held yesterday afternoon. several witnesses for the prosecution being at hand.
 John Lemane, the name of the man arrested, when placed on the stand told a very plausible story of having arrfv- ed from Roosevelt where he has been working for the government with sev- eral hundred dollars in his pocket. He stopped over in Tempe a short time, and this much of the story was veri- fled by Tempe parties. Going on to Phoenix he proceeded to spend the greater portion of his savings in hay ing a good time. As a matter of pre-. caution against future bankruptcy, he handed 9 friend SIP of what he had left. to be kept for him until further need. A few days later he found his friend about to leave for Tucson and asked him for the money. The friend had violated his trust and had squand- cred the cash. He offered to let him take the suit case he carried. however, as security. This MT. Lemane agreed to do and according to his story, it was in that manner that he obtained possession of the cause of his trouble.
 It chanced that while in Phoenix he called at the Leland house in quest of room and it so happened that the very day he called, the suit case was found to be missing. The evidence on this point was a little shaky for it appeared that the loss of the suit case was discovered before MT. Lemane was seen about the premises. There was no doubt, however, but that the case had been stolen by some one and oth- CT evidence presented was regarded by the judge as sufficiently strong to warrant his sending the defendant up for thirty days.

4 Polite Doctor.

When the baby came Co Mary's home she was told that the doctor brought it. She thought he kept an unlimited supply. Mary had been taught that politeness was one of the greatest charms a person could pos sess.
 One day the doctor called, and said, Mary, we have a new baby at our home; would you like to go with me to see it?''
 Mary was delighted. The baby was very tiny, only weighing three and One-half pounds. When Mary saw this frail bit of humanity she turned her face up to the doctor, and said:

FIELD DAY SPORES
 IN 1Ht GEM CIlY
The Committee m Charge Decides to
 Celebrate the Event on Labor Day.

A. Mortensen, who is the chairman of the committee on arrangements for the field day exercises and sports which will be held at Drew's park. has given out the following concerning the change of date for holding their cele- bration: "On account of Monday, Sep tember 7th, being Labor day and territorial holiday, the committee has thought 1t proper to change the date and hold the exercises on September 7th. instead of Friday, September 11th."
 The above statement is the result of meeting held by the committee dur ing the week. as it has been deemed proper and fitting for all concerned that this change be made. one of the chief reasons being that Monday, Sep tember 7th is a general holiday, and therefore will enable a great number of those who could not otherwise att tend, to come to Mesa on that date. and enjoy the day to the fullest ex tent. Everything possible is being done by the committee on arrange ments to make this occasion a memo rable one, as well as the most enjoy able of field days that have previously been celebrated in the Gem City.
 The grounds at Drew's park. where the contests will take place, are being placed in first class shape for the diff fereHt events. which are scheduled. Much interest is being manifested in this event in the surrounding tow1s, and in all probability large delega- tion from each of the towns which will be represented in the contest will be present.
 The girls basket ball team is train ing under the direction of Miss De- borah Allen. and other athletes who will take part, are getting in shape and training.

Two Grand Divisions viii Meet at Dodge City
For a Big Ball Game, September 9th
The Santa Fe boys Of the Western
Grand division, have had a good
deal Of argument about the relative
strength Of the base ball teams Of
those two divisions. and they have
agreed to settle the matter by a
match game on September ~. By
mutual consent the game will be
played at the Dodge City park
grounds, the teams meeting here on
the morning Of the 9th, for the Of
ternoon game. OF course the To-
peka boys will employ a league pitch
or for the occasion, and the La
Junta boys will sneak in a profess
sional battery from Denver or
Pueblo. but that will make the
game more interesting. It is hard
to tell which team the Dodge City
people will root for. Topeka, Of
course, is Kansas town, while La
Junta is not. At tho same time, La
Junta has more Of "westness"
about it which will appeal 10 Dodge.
Then it is in the Great and Only

Dodge City received word Tuesday
that the game was certainty, and
that they should 60 ahead and make
all arrangements for it.
