PASSENGERS IN PERIL.
Colorado Midland Train Narrowly Es-
capes Fearful Disaster.

Denver.-One of the most remark
able and narrow escapes from rail
road catastrophe ever recorded in this
state, which probably would have
eclipscd in horror any in the history
of Colorado railroad wrecks, had it
happened, occurred at o'clock in the
evening of February 18th, on the west
bound Colorado Midland road as train
No. 5 was rounding the famous Hell
Gate between Busk and Ivanhoe.
Only the presence of mind of S. B.
Hopkins, a Rock Island tourist man
ager, who was on board, prevented the
train from leaping the track at He'll
Gate and falling into the canon below
with its nine coaches of passengers.
w. X. Armor, a former Denver man,
now of Salt Lake. who was on board,
tells the story. The engineer stepped
out of his cab for Il moment on the run
ming board of the engine to examine
something, The cab door blew shut
behind him, and the fireman, who had
not seen him go out. thought he had
lost control of the engine and jumped
to save his life. He became frightened
and leaped from the cab himself. The
engine was running down heavy
grade and In a few moments had
gained a frightful speed.
Mr.. Hopkins was in one of the Pull
mans and, noticing the unusual speed,
realized that something was wrong. He
seized the emergency brake and pulled
hard. bringing the train 10 sudden
stop Just as it. was rounding into He'll
Gate, where the chasm is a 1000 feet
down.
The engineer was found upon the
engine, but the fireman was missing.
The passengers instituted search for
him and after an hours hunting he
was found far back along the track
with both legs broken and otherwise
so injured that he was still uncon.
scious when removed from the train
TO a hospital in GlenwOod Springs.
The passengers We're so gratefm
that they sent a letter TO the Rock
Island headquarters at Chicago, com
mendlng the action of Mr.. Hopkins.

OKLAHOMA MERGER
ORDERED DISSOLVED.
Suits Are to be Begun Against the Rock
Island and the Frisco.

Governor Haskell last week sent a
communication to Attorney General
West in which he ordered him to in.
stitute proceedings to dissolve the
: alleged merger between the Rock
Island and Frisco railroads in the
new state. The letter recites that
the interests of the roads are pooled.
and under the same management and
that they are in every sense competi-
tive. The letter states that the peo-
pie of the state have a right to the
benefit of competitive lines.
The letter demands that proceed
1ngs require a complete dissolution of
the alleged combination and the per-
petual maintenance of the two sys-
TENS as distinct and separate roads.
Attorney General West stated that
he would Immediately start the suit.
The Rock Island bisects the state
with through lines both east and west
and north and south. The Frisco has
line from northeast to southwest,
and both roads hold many branches.

Sheepmen Are Spenders.

A careful, conservative estimate
of the amount of money left in Phoe.
nix each year by the sheepmen OF
the territory would place the sum be-
tween S125,OO0 and Sl75, ,OOO," said
Isaac Barth, a prominent Apache
county sheepman, who has some I5,-
600 head of sheep at the new Queens
Creek camp, to Gazette reporter.
The sum of money mentioned by
Mr.. Barth is big one, but it is true
beyond doubt that the sheepmen of
the territory who congregate in that
city annually spend considerably
over 100000. Part of this money is
spent for the shearing of their sheep
all of which goes into the CITY.
while the balance of it is spent by
the sheepmen themselves, most of
whom keep their families there during
shearing season. A good majority of
the sheepmeu are wealthy and all of
them are spenders Of. the first water.
The minute they arrive in town there
is something doing, and it keeps up
until they leave for their homes in
different parts of the territory.
The Queen Creek camp, which is
located twenty miles east of Mesa.
is new one, the owner of the shear
ng plant being ]. S. Bowen, well
known in this city. Mr.. Barth stated
hat Mr.. Bowen had informed him
hat he would shear about 100000
heep at the new camp this year.
1t was about twelve years ago that
he sheepmen of Arizona began gath
ring their animals here in the win
er for shearing. At first there were
My a few hundred, but year after
ear the number increased, until now
is estimated that there are be-
ween 100000 and 100000 sheep gath
red each year in this valley. This {
rings in a wonderful amount of |
honey for the Phoenix people and
lerchants, who apparently have not +
wakened to the full realization of I
hat the gathering of sheepmen in i
hoenix each year means to the city d
nd county. =
Local people in speaking of the ad- .
antages OF this city are prone to
we'll upon the amount of money
rought here each year by tourists,
ut you very seldom hear of a sheep
an being mentioned, yet It is safe 4
say that the sheepmen who come
ere each winter, mere handful in
J., spend half again as much money
hile here as all the tourists put to-
ether Phoenix Gazette.

Republican Delegates will Meet in Tucson
on April Is.

!, Tucson won the republican terri
3 torial convention which will selec
n the delegates to the republican
n national convention to be held il
: Chicago in July.
p The date of the convention was Sc
for April Is.
> Tucson did not win the convention
l without a struggle. Phoenix was Z
. seeker for the honor of entertaining
the republicans in April but the Old
Pueblo was victorious after a hard
fight.
Politicians got busy with the dele
gates early and from what appeared
; to be defeat staring Tucson in the
face by vote of to 5, victory was
finally won by vote which is report
ted semi officially to have been 7 to g.
! The meeting of the executive COM
mittee was secret and not even the
faithful in Tucson were allowed in
the committee meeting which was
held upstairs in the Elk's club.
1t had been currently reported
about the streets that there would be
battle between the instructionists
and the anti-instructiouists in the
convention floor. but this was denied
bv the representatives of the Kibbev
administration and the reported vote
In the committee would indicate that
the federal crowd did not oppose
Tucson.
1t would appear from the surface
that Governor Kibbey controls the |
territorial committee. Two of his
appointees control six votes. J. f.
Cleaveland, who will be the govern
or's private secretary, has his own
vote from Graham and the proxies
from Coconino and Gila. Attorney
General Clark holds his vote from
Yavapai and the proxies from Mo-
have and Apache. W. M. Clark, of
Navajo county, stated openly that he
is for Taft and an instructed dele
cation. This would give Governor {
hlhbey seven votes in the committee. {
Opposed TO the federal crowd are ,
Col. Sturges, George Maulk and c. L. t
McReynolds, who control six votes. '
t Is understood also that Chairman S
B. Tenney is unfavorable to an in t
tructed delegation. t
The apportionment of delegates I
ccording to the ration of one dele i.
