THE MAIL SERVICE
 MESA TO ROOSEVELT.
A LETTER FROM DEPARTMENT
 ON THE SUBJECT.
A Wide Spread Petition Showing
 Why It Should Be Continued.

! In accord with the statement made by post office inspector who passed through this place several days ago, W. M. Newell, the postmaster, re- eeiyed communication yesterday from the department suggesting that there was a. probability of a discOn- tinuance of the mail service between Mesa and Roosevelt and in cOnclu- sion the letter ended with the ques- ton, Why not?" or words to that effect. At any rate there was little time lost in getting together dozen reasons for a continuance of the mail contract between Mesa and Roosevelt and it was not long until petition was in circulation which is strong enough to convince the ordinary in dividual that daily except Sunday mail service between Mesa and Roosevelt is a necessity. The petition was enthusiastically sign ed, if it were possible for a docu- ment to be signed in such a manner. The signers were at least gratified to have an opportunity to sign such a. petition.
 There are a good many reasons tIltIlHB lulO lHt iilsill StINlIG CDI- tract which are found in the petition to be sent to the second assistant postmaster general Among the more pronounced is that a discontinuance of the service will not only deprive the nine way stations between this point and Roosevelt of their mail, but will in a measure retard the de- velopment of the mining district to the east of Mesa known as the Gold field section.
 The petition, in part, is as follows:
 We, citizens and taxpayers of Maricopa county, Arizona, and resi- dents of Mesa, Arizona and vicinity, respectfully ask that the daily mail contract between this place and Roosevelt Arizona, may not he dis continued at the expiration of the present contract, without due investi- gation and full hearing of our reasons why the daily service should be maintained. Knowing that a dis continuance of the daily service, via stage, between this point and Roose- welt, Ariz, will not only work a hardship on great number-of people who are already enjoying the privf- leges of the mail contract, but will actually retard the development of an extensive mineral district and also discourage the establishment of a summer resort -dp the mountains be- tween here and the Roosevelt post office"
 There are then set forth in detail, the reasons why, the service should be continued W

The work at Roosevelt as has heen announced through the columns of The RepublieanEwAl shut down Aug ust first and remain in that condition until October first The result will not have any perceptible effect on the conditions in that the Shattuck-Nim- mo company will continue to deliver oil, the only difference being that it will now go up by easy stages. The maximum contract with the govern ment is something over 5000 barrels per month. It is planned to put up wards of two thousand barrels of oil in the Roosevelt tanks during July and half that amount during August and another 1000 barrels during Sep tember.
 The stage line into this point is carrying its full capacity of workmen every evening and it is anticipated that between now and August first that the population of the camp will be considerably lowered.

EXCITING EXPERIENCE
 WITH RUNAWAY TEAM
A TEMPE FAMILY HAD A RATHER
 CLOSE CALL.
Accident Happened on the Way Home
 From Phoenix Yesterday Morning.

W. A. Moeur and family have been spending the past week with friends west of Phoenix and returned home last evening. MT. Moeur says the wis it constitutes his summer vacation. All this. however. is merely incidental to the main story for upon the return trip hangs tale. ,a
 It was on this return trip yesterday morning that the Moeur family played q leading part in a most exciting run away. It was almost a miracle that none of the party were injured for they had every chance in the world. Mir. Moeur was driving and beside himself there were in the surrey. Mrs. Moeur and the three younger children. A short distance this side of Phoenix, one of the horses in crossing a bridge stumbled and fell; in falling one of the neckyoke straps was broken. Both horses started forward suddenly and the pole fell to the ground. The next minute or two was one that Mir Moeur will never forget. Seeing that the team had the best of the argument. he called to Mrs. Moeur to drop the chif- dren out behind if possible before the team gained too much headway. This she did and two of them were de- posited in the road. By that time. the rig was going too fast to make it safe to drop the third. Mir. Moeur gave up all hope of stopping the team and con fined his efforts to keeping it in the road. One of the tugs came un- hooked and this suggested to him an idea; in less than ii takes to write it. he elung to the lines with one hand and with the other reached down with the whip and unfastened two more tugs. This let but one attached to the rig. He then let loose of the lines and gave the team their heads. They gave a jump. the remaining tug came loose and the wagon run a hundred yards of its own momentum. turned a graceful curve into lane leading up to a farm house and came to a stop. MT MOeur hurried back and found the two chil- dren trudging along in the dust fol- lowing the surrey. The younger of the two was slightly scratched and bruised but his injuries are not at all serious But little damage was done to the conveyance and the entire accident was most remarkable.
 Mir. Moeur went to the asylum and telephoned for help and then hunted up the team. It had run about a mile and half and he found the two horses tied to a fence. nothing missing or broken about the harness but the sin gle strap that caused all the trouble He could not find out who had stopped the team even.
