Graves to be Removed From Old Gene
 tery to New One.

Coronado Lodge No. 8. F. & A. M., has completed arrangements for the removal of the graves from the olG cemetery on Shannon hill to the new Masonic burial ground up Wards canyon. The old cemetery has not been used for some time and has been allowed to run down, hence Coronado lodge is to be congratulated upon the step it has taken to pro- vide a more suitable place for the graves that still remain at the old location. The contract for the work has been let to c. J. Hill, who was the lowest bidder, and as soon as all lawful permission has been secured the work will be commenced, after which it will be hurried through with all possible haste. It is estimated that there are between 150 and l80 graves to be removed. When the old cemetery was first abandoned there was a considerably larger num- Der, but the others have already been removed by relatives. MT. Hill states that it will require about six weeks to complete the work after he gets started.
 The ground is owned by the Shan non Copper company, and will be utilized for buildings to be erected by the company.

An Accident to Clifton Hunter.

While out hunting last Sunday, Sam Andrews, one of the employees of the local A. & N. M. railway, met with a most painful accident this side ot Guthrie. He was near the railroad track and had dismounted from his horse to get a drink of water. In attempting to remount his gun struck the horse in the flank and with Sam only half in the saddle the animal began to jump and run. When the horse struck the railroad track it fell and Sam was Ithrown on the rail. His collar bone was broken in two places and he had painful ride to reach home. He did not get home until late Sunday evening and on Monday the doctors operated up- on him and replaced the broken bones. He is now getting along nicely and is on the road to recovery, though it will be some time before he will be ready for work.
 The accident was due to the fact that the horse was a spirited animal and would not stand for unusual per formance. Sam says that the next time he goes hunting on horseback he is gong to ride the slowest plug ae can get.
