Last Monday Mrs. Barry went in her buggy for Mrs, Cross, both of whom were to assist the children of the Baptist Sunday school in their preparations for children s day. They met near the Union canal on r street. Mrs. Cross and her little boy got into the buggy with Mrs. Barry and they turned and started back toward the church. They had gone only little distance when the horse from some cause kicked. One foot went over the cross piece in the shafts. This excited the animal and ho began struggling to extricate himself.
 The buggy was upset, tho horse get ting loose from it, Mesdames Barry and Cross, were thrown out. The little boy received flesh wound and fracture of the bone just above tho left eye Dr. Warner dressed the wound and tho little fellow is recovering. Neither oi the ladies were much hurt, though giver genuine fright and an experience that they will long remember.

OLD MAN DROWNED
 AT LAGUNA DAM
FRANK RICE, OLD YUMA COUNTY
 PRosPECToR, SUPPOSED TO HAVE MET DEATH IN SLOUGH WHILE CROSSING HORSEBACK.

YUMA, May 23.-Frank Rice, an old time prospector, well known in and around Yuma for the last thirty years, was here late in last week for three or four days, and left Monday for his ranch above Laguna dam.
 Tuesday afternoon, about l o'eloek, n man coming this way from the dam, was attracted by some white object Tn the slough, about two miles south or Laguna, and close investigation proved if to be the head of white horse. He tried to get the animal out, but was only partially successful, for the slough is deep and m.rey at that point. He returned to the dam and gave tho re- port of what he had found and then came on to Yuma, telling his story to l.. Esselburn.
 Rice left here late in the afternoon Monday, riding horse that fits the description given. With him was a cur dog. and the saddle described all tai lied with the find. When the horse was far enough out to be secure from drown .ng it was found that the saddle had turned and that one stirrup had been broken of. The old dog was on tho bank, waiting and watching, but tho old man was nowhere in sight.
 II is surmised that he fell from th' horse and that tho mud of tho slough r now his grave.
