CHILD BROKE HIS ARM

Hubert Schlig, 6-year-old son OF Mr.
and Mrs. Mat Schlig, while playing
near the Sixth ward school building
had the misfortune to break his arm.
A playmate, Leonard Betke, came
by on bicycle and called to Hubert
to get out Of the way, but through
misunderstanding they both went
to the same side. Hubert struck a
rock with his elbow with the result
that the joint was both dislocated
and broken. In falling, the pedal
of the bicycle struck him in the head
at the back of the neck cutting an
ugly cash. 1t, is hoped that the arm
will soon mend and be all right
again.

cod never meant that We should call this

No leaf would fall,
No life decay, no shadow from II e tomb
Our hearts appal.
This home? then none would lay their al =

But, step by step, life's work would

To full completeness.
Thank God. that in life's little day, through

Sweet home, tomorrow.

In mansions fair,

Tallahassee, June 6.-(Special)-
Strung to the limb Of majestic oak
within ten yards Of the gallows upon
which be was to be legally executed
next Friday, and almost beneath the
shadow of the dome of Florida
cspitol, Mick Morris, the negro con.
victed Of the murder of Sheriff Lam
gston, gave up his life to an armed
and determined mob OF fifteen men
this morning at 8 o'clock.
The affair was veil planned, and
was over in less than ten minutes
from the time when Jailer Grey
suddenly surprised was overpowered
and locked in the iron Gagged hall
containing the cells. As the negro
was given as prompt a trial as Gov.

Gilchrist could secure for him, an!
as he had stated to a committee Of
citizens that the negro's sentence
would certainly not be commuted,
the lynching is regarded by some as
direct insult to the states chief ex-
ecutive. The gslloWs was already
under construction and the negro
was to be hanged next Friday. A
rumor which was about town yes
terday was to the effect that the ne
gro had gone insane. Fearing that
i. was but a ruse, and that it might
result IN cheating the gsllOws of
him, the mob secretly organized.
The negro did not beg for mercy,
but fought like tiger from the mo-
ment his cell was entered He was
dubbed out in the yard to keep him
quiet, and physicians state that this
caused bis death before the moose
circled his throat. He was b en-
strung up. A single volley was fir
ed and all was over The mob
came to the Jail in buggies and hur-
riedly left. There was no noise
aside from the shots, and no disOr-
der. No race feeling has been stir
red up, there being as many negroes
as white among the curious sight
seers today.

COPIES OF THE EARTH
 FOR DISTRIBUTION
But the Board of Trade Will Not Give
 Them Out IndiscriminateIy.

The board of trade yesterday re- ceived 25OO copies of the Eearth, de- voted exclusively to the Salt River Valley. In many respects it is the most valuable advertisement of the valley that has ever been prepared. Some features have been created more comprehensively, but never before have so many features been collected together and presented so infomingly and entertainingly ~
 The board of trade has decided that none of the copies shall be wasted, but that all of them shall go where they will do the most good. They,will there fore not be given out indiscriminafe- ly. but those who want to send them to friends in other parts of the cOun- try must leave the address at the board of trade rooms with sufficient money to pay postage. .-
 That is, copies of the Earth will not be given to the, people who want to mail them. but they will be taken by the board itself directly to the post office after the postage has been paid.
 Copies may be purchased at 21s cents apiece, this arrangement having been made probably on the theory that the purchaser will not likely waste his purchase, whereas people do not always place any valuation on something they get for nothing.

ANOTHER WASH0UT
 JUST BEYOND YUMA
All Trains on the Southern Pacific From the West Are Over
 Day Late.

A second washout on the Southern Pacific line in the Salton sea district at the same spot where the washout occurred two weeks ago delayed all trains yesterday and prevented the re- ceipt of mail from coast cities.
 The washout happened between Han lon Junction and Salton. The tracks and roadbed had been but recently re- paired, and the new earth was easily washed away and the rails under mined by the heavy rains of yesterday and the day before. The last train to get in was No. 8, which passed Mari- copa at noon Monday. The Rock Isl and limited No 3, going west, ran as far as Yuma and then returned over the route at No. 4. It is said that sev. eral miles of the track in the soggy Salton district have been damaged
 It was thought yesterday morning that trains would be running again by night, but later in the day there was no definite information as to when the trains would be running regularly again. All trains from the west will be at least a day late.
 Lee H. Landis, who caught stub" train out of Yuma yesterday, said that it rained heavily about Yuma up to o'clock yesterday morning.
