Driver Meets With
Horrible Death

R. E. Spaw has contract haul
ing ore for Mr.. Spence from the
Carlisle district to Duncan, and he
had man by the name of w. c.
Whitaker, of Henley, Texas, an
old acquaintance of Mr.. Spaw,
teaming for him. One day about
the 18th of last month, while on
his way down from the mine with
his wagon loaded with ore, he had
to drop his trail wagon in order to
get up the hill; ana after he had
pulled the lead wagon up the hill
and stopped it over the divide, he
went back and got the trail, pulled
it over the hill near the lead wag-
on, put the brake on, and hooked
his team to the lead wagon again,
and from all appearances he was
holding the trail tongue up with
one hand and was standing on the
opposite side Of the trail tongue
from the brake Of the trail wagon,
and was trying to let the trail wag-
on down easy with the brake, when
it seems the wagon got the start of
him, and, being unable to control
it with the brake, he was caught
between the two wagons and
crushed to death. This happened
about one o'clock in the afternoon.
Mr.. Spaw, thinking there was some
thing wrong when the man did not
come in on time, and went out to
see what was the trouble. He
found him lying dead between the
two wagons. He must have suf-
fered an awful death from the way
he had struggled.
The deceased left widow and
six children in destitute circum-
stances out in the country near
Henley. Texas. Petitions for
relief fund have been circulated in
Duncan and Clifton to aid the
widow and her childred.

the boys say.
There is proposition on foot
to extend the Oregon ditch to this
place, it would reclaim several
thousand acres of choice lands,
between "Lizzard Ridge" and the
Hot Spr ngs. More land than we
have at present under cultivation
This enterprise deserves the en-
souragement of every property
owner in this section. If we could
get this ditch and then a county
road from the postoffice to the
section house just across the river,
so we could load hay, gram, etc.
there, it would be better than liv

our hay shippers said. The dts
tance would not be over one and
one.halt miles The arrangement
could readily be made with the
railroad company to leave cars
there for US. Hay shippers here
pay from $3.50 to $500 per ton to
get their hay hauled to Pima or
Thomas which makes hay un-
pr"fila ble to the Edenite.

FAILS TO SECURE

Supreme Court Knocks Out the
Claim of Mrs. Goodwin to

Motion for Appeal Made by the
Alleged Widow Is Dis.
missed

SACRAMENTO, May 21.-All hope of
Mrs. Josephine Goodwin TO secure any
OF the riches of the late Senator Will
liam Johnston were blasted today when
the state supreme court dismissed her
motion for an appeal.
Mrs. Goodwin Is noted member OF
the Christian Science cult in this city.
Shortly after the death of Senator
Johnston, two years ago in this city
she startled the community by apply
ing in court for large share Of the
estate on the ground that she was his
widow.
The case was tried before Judge
Shields In the superior court here and
Mrs. Goodwin introduced evidence tend
ing TO prove that she had married the
aged senator in San Rafael a few
months prior to his death.
The marriage was set aside on the
ground that fraud had been practiced
and Mrs Goodwin appealed. The ap-
peal was denied on the ground that II
was recorded before the Judgment OF
the court was entered. The premature
fling constituted q fatal error and the
dismissal of the case settles the matter
finally. The estate was worth a hall
million dollars.
