We had to strap him down in bed, for he used to tear himself dreadfully in his sleep. The agony he went through Is quite beyond words. No one thought We would rear hm. The regimental doctor. a very clever man. pronounced the case hopeless: at least, he said the only hope was that he might. if he lived long enough, outgrow it to some extent. We had him in hospitals four times and he was pronounced one of the worst cases, if not the worst, ever admitted. From each he was dis charged as incurable; in fact he got worse under the successive treatments. At one hospital they incased him in plaster. and this seemed to aggravate the soreness terribly. He looked so badly that no one liked to go near him and his life was a burden to him. We kept trying remedy after remedy, but we had got almost past hoping for a cure. Six months ago we purchased a set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent Pills and persevered with them.

TWO MEN BADLY INJURED

Two men in the employ of the gov ernment were badly hurt yesterday, one a workman at Government Wells and the other workman at Granite Reef. J. M. Ware, at Government Welt was struck by a falling timber. One of his arms was dislocated at the shoulder and was also broken. He took the afternoon stage and came to Mesa for treatment. IL was about six hours after the injury before he could secure medical treatment but last eve ming he had been properly cared for and was resting as comfortably as could be expected.
 The victim of the other accident was Joe Toheo. The big cable across the river at Granite Reef, utilized in con- structing the dam, broke on Saturday and was being repaired yesterday. Toheo was up on the cable. twenty five or thirty feet above the river and fell into about a foot of water. One arm, one leg and his jaw were broken. Dr. Palmer is attending him. While he is very badly hurt. it is not antici- pated that his injuries are likely to prove fatal.

FOR CREAMERY ENDOWMENT
Q. Q. Smith Writes on a Mesa Enter prise Which May Become of
 National Repute.

Another piece of Mesa magic will in the near future become a topic of na- tional interest, as something novel and without a rival, and that is an endow- ment feature of the Mesa creamery. We occasionally see notices of endow- ment funds for colleges where the in- lrerest only is used which goes to the support of the college, but the endow- lnent plan in connection vlIh a com munity creamery has never before been dreamed of. As a college is benefited by its endowment revenue. so will the Mesa creamery be benefited by a feat ure Of its organization, placing the creamery on bosis without a parallel in the United States.

 one day while sweeping the sea ward horizon with the office spy glass. the forlorn British skipper let fly an oath of the most profound amazement. He dropped the glass. rubbed his eyes. chewed his beard and stared again. A schooner was making across the bar. and presently she stood clear of the island at the harbor mouth and slip ped toward an anchorage well insideA
 There was no mistaking her at this range. IL was the Amity. his own schooner which had been taken from him in the West Indies. from which he and his mate had been cast adrift by the piratical seamen.

 MT. Derby was man of the great est promptitude and one of les an chored brigs was instantly manned with a heavy crew. two deck guns slung aboard, and with Captain Dun cansOn striding the quarterdeck. the brig stood down to take the Amity.

SOUTH SIDE NEWS
MESA
WILL START NURSERY.
E. H. Johnson and Richard w. Madi- son to Supply Trade With Home
 Grown Trees.

Ellis H Johnson and Richard w. Madison have formed a partnership for the purpose of starting a nursery. They have leased the O. $. Stapley tract of five acres immediately east Of the city limits for a term of years and will commence work sometime within a week They have already received several shipments of seeds and will soon commence on their grape and vine stock. MT Madison has had a number of years experience in the nursery business and will no doubt make a success of the enterprise Mir. Johnson has had little experience in the manual part of the nursery bus mess. but has had some experience as a salesman and will be able to get his goods before the people. He has re- gently purchased forty acres of land south of town and will next fall set this out to naval oranges.
 It is the intention of the gentlemen in charge of the nursery to erect lath sheds under which will be located the orange beds. The beds will be sown to seedlings. After the plants have at tained the age when budding is to commence. choice navel trees will be selected from which to secure the cross. IL is believed by the men in charge of the project that they can keep the pests out of this section of the country which would be liable to find their way here if the trees were ship ped from infested districts. While the Salt river valley is free from all orange and fruit pests, it is the purpose and desire that it remain so.
 Within two years it is estimated that there will be no less than five hundred acres ef land in and around Mesa planted to oranges. pomelos and lem ons, while a large acreage will be set to peaches. apricots and pears. A nursery putting out good grade of trees at a minimum cost should enjoy a good trade and that is what MT. Johnson and MT. Madison expect to do.

4 Curious Coincidence of the Sea.

Ralph D. Paine. while delving into the old sea-logs kept by eighteenth century captains. and now stored in the Essex Institute at Salem, brought to light a strange tale that vet was fact. He tells about it as follows:
 The Grand Turk. a good ship be- longing to Elias Hasket Derby of Sa- lem. a well-known merchant. was re-
 turning to Salem from the West In- dies During the voyage Captain In gersoll rescued the master and mate of an English schooner the Amity. whose crew had mutinied while in the Span ish Main. The two officers had been cast adrift in a small boat to perish. This was the first act in a unique drama of maritime coincidence in 1774.
 After the castaWays had reached Salem. Captain Duncanson, the Eng fish master of the Amity. was the guest of Elias Hasket Derby while he waited for word from his owners and an opportunity to return to his home across the Atlantic. He spent much of his time on the water front as a matter of course. and used to stand at

cooperative plant was established and the resulting benefits wero made known to the people. The disadvant- ages of small plant were so apparent that the people were aroused to make an effort to secure a community creamery on the grandest and most liberal scale. One hundred and twen- ty-one men were induced to take up shares in the new organization and a capital of S17,S00.00 was the beginning of the new plant. Finding that this would not be enough these same men signed a joint note for $l0.000. The incorporation agreement was that the share holders be restricted to one vote each and no proxies to be allowed so that a controlling interest could never acquired by any single individual. that it be strictly cooperative. that the share holders receive six per cent as interest on their investment and the benefits over this to go to the encour- agement of the diary industry. or as stated, on the price of milk.
 The endowment plan comes in like this; The interest of dividend" to the share holders is less than $l 200 and the sales of ice in the neighborhood of s10.00O. enough to pay the ''divi- dend' and all expenses of the plant which would make the price Of milk equal the price of the product.
 The advantage of daring at Mesa is readily calculated. As this would in crease the price of milk 9 to 50 cents over other creameries that must neces- sarily take the expense and proprietors profits from the price of milk. As a good acre of pasture should feed a dairy COW and a good COW should pro- duce 10000 lbs. of milk per year the increased annual profits Of dairying al Mesa is shnu.n tn he s2a nar acra
