 J. W. Benson of Heron Lake, Min nesota, arrived in Douglas yesterday afternoon and is on his way to Mexl- co to visit mining property iE which he is interested with c. B. Bell and c. D. Taylor The property is 10. cated in the Tordillo district south ot Douglas. Mir. Benson was in Doug las about eighteen months ago and he declared this morning that the ad- vancement of the city had been all that could be expected since that time.
 The city officials are still after the yagrants. Three of trem were arraign' ed yesterday, and given seven days work on the streets of the city, were two drunken Mexican. It is t. plan of the officials to discourage h.
 bos from stopping Of in Douglas, Dy giving them work 70 do for bed all board as long as they remain in the city.
 This morning there was not a case of any kind CT description in the jus tice court. A telegram was received yesterday , from Mexico City directing Acting Consul Corona to turn over ot Con-
 sulate Sr Daniel A. Montes, as Mex. | ican consul at Douglas. The Dispatch came in answer to those sent to the
 government last week for instructions and means that the telegram received by ST. Monies, while consul at Yuma, has superceded the letter which Mir. Corona had announcing the appoint i ment of Dr. Leal.
 MT. Corona says that he has heard that Mr. Maza will he in Douglas with i In few days, but has had no ad- vices as to the causes of any of the changes. ST. Montes expressed him. ] self as equally in the dark. At a late hour last night an acci. | dent at the Copper Queen smelter i brought horrible death to Francisco 1 Hernandez, Mexican employed as a converter opener at the reduction
 works. While the exact cause of this accident is unknown, it is believed |
 grave yard shift" came to his work early and while waiting for the hour | to arrive for him to start work sought a warm spot and sat down
 near a heap of converter shells which
 were cooling. It Is the custom at the smelter to take these converter shells
 from the converters by train and | dump them of 70 the side of the
 track to cool before running them
 again through the converters. It is
 thought that while Hernandez was | seated there enjoying the warmth
 thrown of by the cooling shells an
 other train came along and dumped
 it's contents, one of the shells roll ing down upon the unfortunate Mex , ican and pinioning him by the leg The leg was burnt to the bone anC the close proximity CT the rest of the
 shell to the body burnt the trunk and face horribly. His injuries were not i discovered at once and it must have been a half hour later when another workman discovered the unfortunate i man still alive.
 The ambulance wss sent fer and Dr Tuttle arrived to give all possible
 medical aid. but before Hernandez 
 could be loaded in o the ambulance
 the team became frightened in somt
 way, broke the to1ge of the vehicle
 and the traces and ran away. Dr
 Futile, however, had the unfortunate
 man loaded into the ambulance, hitch
 ed it to his automobile and hurried tS
 the hospital with al possible speed Although still alive when they reach ed the hospital. Hernandez died with
