NARROW ESCAPE OF
PHOENIX TRAVELLERS
Man Responsible for Wreck Near
Yuma Said to Be in Hiding.

Serious as the collision west of
Yuma Sunday proved to be. causing
the death of two tramps and the de-
struction of much property, II was
only by the merest chance in the world
that il was not a great deal worse
Only by the narrowest chance did the
train from the west happen to be
freight train instead of a passenger
train. and on the passenger train that
so narrowly escaped were about TWEEN
ty-five Phoenix people. II is this lat
ter fact that gives the incident some
thing of local interest According to
the stories heard, the operator at
Yuma let a westbound freight train
into the block somewhat thoughtlessly.
The nearest station on the west is
Ogilbia, about twenty-five miles dis
tant, but six miles out from Yuma is
a side track, which the operator had
expected the eastbound freight would
reach in time to pass the westbound
freight. He had entirely forgotten that
right behind the eastbound freight a
passenger train, including two Pull
mans and two tourists, was steaming
along. As soon as this flashed across
his mind. and before the news of the
wreck came. according to the stories,
he. precipitately left Yuma or hid out.
and when the Phoenix travellers came
through Yuma after the wreck had
been cleared away, the operator had
not yet been heard from.
But bad as the result was. il was
not as bad as the operator feared. The
eastbound freight was behind time and
failed to make the siding, so the col
lision was between two freight trains.
Had the freight made the siding, the
passenger train would have rushed
along by it at full speed and collided
with the westbound freight. with re-
suits that can only be imagined.
The passengers who had such a
narrow escape are so glad they were
not hurt that they are disposed not
to be critical; nevertheless, they have
not quite got their nerves settled yet

Good Habits, First Requisite.

Young men who hope to succeed
in life cannot afford to ignore the
unanimous verdict of men that have
succeeded, to the effect that bad
achievement of any marked success
in the world. Mr.. James A. Patten,
the Chicago Spectator, is in a busi-
ness which many folk have found
Objectionable; but nobody can deny
that he is the kingpin in his line of
business. He Of course is besieged
for advice by less successful men.
To a group of men in New York
he stated a few days ago that in his
judgment the first essential of all is
good habits:
For a young man intending to
start out in life and adopting a
business career, the first essential
is that of good habits. The modern
employer as a rule, soon drops a
young man from his pay roll who
does not possess this requisite.
He should perform the duties re-
quired of him, no matter in how
mental a position, as a second essen
tial, with the utmost willingness. II
he should see any opportunity for
Improvement in the line of his duties
he should suggest the same to his
employer, for nothing pleases the en-
ployer SO much as the fact that his
employe is working for his interest
and young man following out this
line, as rule, is advanced when op-
portunity offers"
In these times the man who
drinks, even moderately, cannot hope
for promotion, and he is lucky if he
can hold his job for any length of
time. Habits of sobriety, industry.
punctuality, and absolute fidelity to
every trust imposed are requisites
which every employee must adopt if
he would avoid being swept aside.
And the attractions are assuredly
sufficient. No matter what the croak-

The suggestion by the Bisbee Re
view. the other day. that the people
of Bisbee and Douglas would do
better to go to FL Paso. rather than
Phoepix, for the purpose OF seeing
Mr.. Taft, has ELECTED adverse COM
ment from most of the papers of the
territory. No doubt the Bisbee papers
advice on this point was more a
case of thoughtlessness than of in
territorial knocking of Phoenix, but
the incident has happily developed
the fact that jealousy of this city is
not as prevalent as it has been.
Most of the comment we have read
is of the same tenor as the sub
Joined extract from the Bisbee Miner:
The proposition of a Bisbee news
paper that the delegations from that
city and other Southern Arizona cities
go to FL Paso to meet President Taft
instead of Phoenix is quite the silliest
outpouring of the season.
All of US hoped that the president
would visit the cities of Southern
Arizona, but as that is not to be we
see no reason to be consumed with
petty jealousy. First of all, we are
Arizonians, and after that Southern
Arizonians. Why, We should like to
know, should Arizonians go to Texas
to greet the president when we can
just as well meet him in Arizona?
The great issue of statehood for
all Arizona is largely dependent upon
Mr.. Taft for success. To give him
an exhibition of small chickering's at
home would certainly do the measure
harm. Loyal Arizonians who wish to
greet the president and aid in the
great Arizona demonstration before
him will go to Phoenix and scorn
the asinine suggestion that they give
an exhibition of foolish pique by
greeting the president in another
state"
Not so very long ago it was easy
to find in nearly every other city of
the territory a hammer club" that

way in most places to a feeling of
pride in the capital city. The su-
premacy of Phoenix as the chief city
of Arizona is now everywhere ac-
knowledged, and some of the rosiest
prophecies of its future are made by
residents Of other cities of the terri
tory-residents whose loyalty to their
home towns cannot be questioned.
Nearly all the Arizona cities are
admirable self confidence on their
part that they are no longer jealous

DECISION OF LAND
OFFICE SUSTAINED
Secretary of the Interior Approves of
The Decision Made BY
Local Officials.

Receiver c. L. Arnold and Register
have received word that their decis-
ion in rejecting certain applications for
land entry made by representatives of
the Santa F'e railroad on June Bird, has
been sustained by the secretary of the
interior. The decision is not only i'm
portant to the railroad company but
1t has been until settled, of consider
abel Importance to other settlers who
were permitted to file on lands the
Santa Fe might have taken. Had the
decision been reversed it is possible
the filings would have been thrown
out in view of the Santa Fe having
been deprived of its rights. That it
has been sustained. makes everything
that was done entirely regular. The
settlers on small holdings have been
waiting for the decision before they
began making improvements. fearing
that if it was reversed they might
lose them. They can now proceed to
improve their holdings as fast as they
want to knowing they will be protected
in all that they do.
The story of the decision is as fol-
lows. on June Bird. when the large
acreage along the Aqua FRA and else
where was thrown open for settlement
it might be remembered there was a
big rush at the land office, some of the
applicants having been in line for two
or three days; Near the head of the
line was a representative of the Santa
Fe armed with scrip. 1t was reported
that he proposed filing on a large tract
of land. The receiver and registerer

THE AUTUMN CHORUS

The Jones have come back again
From DER the .seething pond;
They cast their eyes on local scenes
With glances that are fond;
And Jones remarks, triumphantly.
As men have said before:
The part of travelling that's best
Is getting home once more"
The Browns-they went away this
spring
Took in the glorious West;
BIT they are settled down again,
Safe in the old, warm nest,
And Mrs. Brown, with eyes a-shine.
Declares in tones that ring:
This getting. homes the best part Of
The game OF travelling"
And so the chorus rises loud
In these glad autumn days.
When all the suit case folk return
From far vacation ways;
The things they saw were grand-oh,
yes,
But this droMns praise of Rome:
THE best part of this travelling
Is getting home. home, home,"

PLEASANT VACATION
OF JN0. ". SHARPE
His Comment Respecting the Grand
Meyer Suit.

John w. Sharpe returned home yes
terday, after two months spent. In
California, and will leave this morning
for Bouse He says he has had de-
lightful summer vacation, spending
part of the time in Los Angeles and
vicinity and part of the time in San
Francisco. He is now going to take a
peep at the Little Butte mine. which
he has not seen for weeks AID con-
corning which he is more enthusiastic
than ever.
He mentioned incidentally yesterday
that he had just read the story recent
ly published in these columns con-
corning the suit brought by j. b.
Grand against j. 4. Meyer and others
He said he had no comment to make
except to explain an erroneous infer
ence that the Little Butte Consolidated
Mines company, the present owner OF
the property, was concerned in the
issue. The company may or may not
be made a party in the title of the
suit. but if it is there has been no
service on the officers of the Company
yet But whether any such service
shall be made would not alter the fact
that the controversy is between Mr..
Grand and the firm of ]. E. Meyer &
Co. who were the promoters of the
old company. The transaction in
question, says Mr.. Sharpe, was be-
tween Mr.. Grand and Mr.. Meyers and,
- far as he knows. even the old
company had nothing to do with it
through any action of the board of
directors.

previous to opening the office posted
a notice that no application would be
received for more than 800 acres until
all in line had an opportunity to file.
When Mr. Taliafero of the Santa Fe
made application for a large tract he
was refused and Immediately filed
notice OF appeal to the general land
office.
In due course of time the appeal
was decided sustaining the local land
officials. An appeal was then taken
from the general land office TO the sec
rotary of the interior. the court OF
final resort, and the secretary in turn
has sustained the land office. q.
Another appeal from a similar de-
cision, or rather a similar case under
the same decision of the local officers,
is still pending, but as it Is along sim
liar lines it is expected the result Will
be similar. 1t was the application of
C. F. Ainsworth to file on tract OF
land in the Casa Grande Valley. Under
the law it is claimed by the land office
officials that when the appli-
cation is made the applicant
must have credentials showing
first that the secretary of the interior
has acted favorably on the application
to file upon the certain specified lands
in lieu of the base lands on which the
original scrip was issued, and secondly
must be prepared to demonstrate that
the lieu lands are of equal value with
the base lands; that all these papers
completing an application must be filed
at once and at the same time. These
papers it is contended were not all pre-
scented together wherefore the appI-
cation was rejected and appeal was
taken. The date of the law under
which this application was sought to.
be made, is April "a, 1904.

Mans Readiness to Wrath.

The wisdom of all ages sustains
the soundness of Mr.. Taft's sermon"
delivered in the Mormon tabernacle
at Salt Lake City, Sunday, from the
text, "A soft answer turneth away
wrath" And he was on equally
safe ground when he advanced as a
corollary the doctrine that I'VE ought
to ascribe to our neighbors and to
those with whom we come in contact
as high motives as we can. We
ought to avoid acrimonious discus
sion that assigns to perdition every
body opposed to our views and ac-
cuses them of having the most cor
rupt motives. Life is too valuable to
waste it in anger and hatred and de-
nunciation of our fellow men when
they don't deserve it. The truth is,
my friends, that this matter of hatred
and resentment which accompanies
the attribution of bad motives to
those who differ from you is a
waste of nervous strength"
Mr.. Taft might have been led by
the same line of thought to comment,
not only upon mans readiness TO
wrath, and suspicion. and hatred. but
his readiness to take sides" in the
rows of other people. 1t is one of
he Of
that we are more or less pleased to
see a row going on somewhere, and
that any chance to get mixed with
it is usually welcomed. If it be true,
as the humorists assert, that this love
of a fight, no matter what the pre-
text, is an Irish trait, it must be
fact that all the world has an ad-
mixture of good Irish blood.
During the recent weeks two fine
examples of the popular readiness to
wrath, and the universal desire to
take a hand in other peoples quarrels
have been furnished in the row be-
tween Secretary Ballinger and For
ester Pinchot, and the row between
Peary and Cook. Now, the truth is
that the average man has scarcely
a remote idea of the merits of the
controversy between Ballinger and
Pinchot, and if he would give his
candid opinion. he cares less. But
the reading public, and the news
papers, have ranged themselves into
two hostile camps. A considerable
amount of mirth was occasioned
throughout the land by the tele-
graphic report that the city council
of a hamlet in Southern California
had formally adopted resolutions to
the effect that Cook had reached the
pole, and in denunciation of Peary.
But the California councilmen did
not present themselves-except in the
matter of publicity-in a more ri
diculous light than does the citizen
who engages in a heated argument
with his ncighbor over the relative
truthfulness of Peary and Cook. The
eastern papers have printed several
local stories of physical encounters
between the Cook and Peary parti-
sans.

Two Important Committees to be
Appointed.

At the last session Of the State
Convention of the Farmers Union
held on Friday two very important
resolutions were adopted. Both of
the resolutions were introduced by
DR.. J. H. Price, of Orangeburg, one
being:
THAT the executive committee
be instructed to appoint vigilant
legislation committee, whose duty
it shall be to appear before the
committees of the legislature to ad-
vocate any measure which would,
in their judgment be to the interest
of the agricultural classes and to OPP
pose any measure detrimental to
same"
The other was: THAT commit
tee. of three be appointed to meet
and formulate plans for financing the
cotton CROP" the committee being
authorized to confer with any capi-
talist looking to perfecting these
plans.
The last met with some oppo-
sition, but it was finally carried by
a large majority.

FATALLY BITTEN BY RATHER
Young Lad Lived Oily Ten Hours
After Being Bit.


The HendersonVille Hustler says
Pinckney, the fourteen-year-old son
of John Stepp, who lives beyond the
power house plant on the Polk coun-
ty line, was bitten by rattlesnake
Thursday about noon, and died from
the poison at 10 o'clock the same
night. Pinckncy, with his brother.
was getting tan bark near the edge
of their field.
Their dog barked and the boys
went to find him, and found him
barking around log in which they
expected to find rabbit. Pinckney
was barefooted and went TO the
end of the log to peep in. Just at
that instant the snake struck him
on the outer side of the ankle.
The other boy killed the snake and
hurried home with the unfortunate
brother, who meantime became very
sick
Neighbors were called. and all
remedies known to them We're
thOughtfully used, but the deadly
poison was too much. They sent
across the mountain TO Dana and
called for a physician from Hender-
yonvillc. but it was late before he
arrived and the poor boy died three
hours later.

SUMMER HOTEL BURNED.
Hundreds Of VivistOrs Flee From the
Building.

A night watchman's prompt work
in sounding the fire alarm enabled
the hundred guests OF Hotel Tybee,
a summer resort on Tybee Island,
to escape safely from the structure
when it burned before daylight Sat
urday. The fire consumed the main
building with loss of $4,000,
about half OF which was covered By
insurance.
When the fire brok out the hotel
was in total darkness but the guests
got out with remarkably little con-
fusion. a number OF the guests lost
valuable jewelry, and it is said that
the baggage OF many of the guests
wis looted, number complaining
THAT all OF their money had been
stolen.
Messrs. Stubbs and Keen, proprl-
etors OF the hotel, state they will
rebuild at once. Their loss is es-
tmated at nearly 100000 with in
surancc of nearly one-thrd that
amount.
An interesting feature Of the burn
ing Of the hotel Was the aid render
ed by Il large number OF negro con-
victs in stripes from a convict camp
on the island. The negroes gave
valuable assistance in saving pror-
