Shocking Death OF Well known
Arlxonan.

Early in the week there came in
the daily newspapers a detailed
account of the shocking death Of
MIR. Brewster Cameron at Niagara
Falls. 1t seems that Mr.. Cameron
was visiting the Falls ON business
visit, to meet couple of men with
whom he is interested. They had
gone out to the river bank over
looking the falls OH the American
side, and Sat down on The bunk,
Mr.. Cameron letting his feet hang
over the bank When they arose
to leave Mr. Cameron raised him
self to his feet, when from ,lme
cause they shot from under him.
and he wa, plunged into the seeLn-
ing stream below. One ii his com
lanions plunged into The river IN
: vain effort for rescue, bu: the
GComed man was beyond his reach
IN the swift current, to venture
INTO which would have meant the
loss OF his own life. Others en-.
Geavored TO rescue him, but he was
swept along by the swift current,
their efforts to reach him being
unavailing; and within a very few
seconds the unfortunate gentleman
was swept over the fall.
OF late Mr.. Cameron has made
his home in Ell Paso, but in for
mer years he was a resident OF
Tucson, Arizona, and was very
potential in business and political
affairs. He was clerk OF the dis
trict court in Pima county when
Judge Sloan was on the bench in
the first judicial district and was
widely known all over the territory.
He was brother Of Mr.. Colin
Cameron. All Arizonans will ex-
tend to The family and near re-
latives sincere sympathy for the
shocking and untimely end of Mr..
CamerOn'S life.

Cattle Sta e.

East Tempe looked Ike vast
cattle range for short time Sun.
day morning and many of the
residents of that portion of the
town were treated to the spectacle
of a genuine stampede that resulted
in the death OF two fine steers
finally.
The cattle, 300 in all, belonged
to Charles Mullen, and had been
brought down from the upper
range, arriving in Tempe Saturday
night, where they were turned into
the railroad corral. Early SUNDAY
morning three men started the
herd for the ranch southeast of
town and when they reached
Eighth street and Mill avenue cor
ner an attempt to turn them south.
ward partially failed and trouble
was brewing Immediately. They
stampeded and in a moment were
running pell NELL in every diree,
ton. People in all the houses
along their route, attracted by the
noise and confusion, rushed out To
ascertain what the trouble was and
this added TO the fright of the
cattle until it was we'll near i'm.
possible for the punchers to again
get them under control. In east
Tempe some of them ran into an
old brick yard and in circling
about an old building four steers
were precipitated into an open
we'll. Two of them were gotten
out without injury but the other
two were SO badly injured that it
was necessary to kill them.
After considerable hard work the
herd was again gotten together and
quoted down and were taken on to
the ranch without further trouble.
A stampede on the plains or in the
mountains has its difficulties in
abundance but when 300 cattle
take it into their heads to dodge
up alleys and between houses and
barns in a town, the COW boys
have their hands full.

GRAFTON will see tuberculosis COM
pletely wiped out of this country,
or at least under UGH perfect m
troll that the time of it's disappearance
will be very easy to calculate.
This growing activity of hundreds of
thousands of persons all over the coun-
try is more than the adoption of a fad
that is scheduled to die a natural death
just when it looks most promising;
it means a general awakening to the
Importance and absolute necessity of
placing a check IN this insidious dis
ease, which it is said kills more people
in the country annually h q is con-
tanned in a large city.
In a statement issued by the Ma
ticnal Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis after an in
v~estigation OF. the need Of beds for
destitute consumptives in the United
States, it is declared that there are
only $1,000 beds for soc, 900 patients, or
40 consumptfves for every bed.
Statistics gathered from every State
in the country show that the total
number of beds provided by both priv
ate and public sources is less than To-
900, while the number of living cases
of tuberculosis in the United States is
shown to be over 100000.
The investigation also shows that
there are only 5000 beds in the entire
United States which are available for
advanced cases of tuberculosis, which
the National Association designates as
the centres of infection and spread OF
the disease.
1t further shows that there are over
100, 900 cases of tuberculosis In the
United States in the advanced stages
of the disease who should be provided
for in hospitals, and for whom no pro-
vision has been made. The National
Association affirms that consumption
will never be eradicated until the adj
vanced cases are removed or isolated,
and when this is done. there will be an
annual saving of lives In this country
of 100, 600.
People are coming to their senses,
and realizing how lax they have been
in not investigating this question long,
long ago, instead OF sitting back with
folded hands and resigning themselves
to what they considered the inevitable
when some one for whom they cared
was stricken.
