w E Harold, who has been en-

by Mesa stage.
Joe Phelps. after making the trip
from Globe Tuesday, had a telephone
message from Mesa that his wife's
grandmother was dead and that she
would be buried Wednesday after
noon at o'clock. As Mr. Phelps de-
sired very much to witness the final
ceremonies toward one whom she was
very much attached, Joe started with
his family in a single rig and. driv-
ing all night over a road that most
people fear to come over in the day
time, reached Mesa the next morn
ing just after the stage had pulled
out of Roosevelt
NJ. Domini. working for O'Rourke e
Company, was very seriously injured
last Tuesday about 1880 o'clock by a
blast in one of the quarries where he
was employed as powder man. 1t
seems that he had tried twice To
spring a hole and was making the
third attempt without giving the rock
time to cool off after the previous
discharge The blast went off pre-
maturely and threw Mr. Domini over
a cliff some twenty feet into the
rocks below. He received most OF
his injuries about the face and the
hands One eye was reported blown
out and the other deprived Of sight
by the powder burns. Also he was
much cut about the face while the
forehead above the eyes was laid
back on the top of the head. Quite
a piece Of flesh was seemingly gouEed
out to the bone from just over the
point between the eyes. On reaching
the rocks below after his fall down
the stiff it was stated that he got up
on his feet. though he could not see,
and also that he was in full control
of his senses. An automobile was
telephoned for from Phoenix and ar
rived here Tuesday night. taking Mr..
Domini aboard and leaving directly
for Phoenix so that he could have
the full services of an eye specialist
in the hope of saving him part of his
sight at least We have been very
much pleased to learn since that a
telephone communication to this point
stated that Mr. Domini had recovered
the sight Of one Of his eyes and that
there was a possibility the other one
would be brought to a condition that
would allow him sight in both.
\ sad accident befell the stepson of
Manuel Guzman. d resident Of Roose-
welt. The little fellow was about 10
years old and started down to the
lake with a couple OF other boys for
a swim. In the meantime. the other
two boys changed their minds, 50
they stated, and returned home. The
Guzman boy went on alone and was
seen no more that Sunday night
The parents were naturally alarmed
and three or four men searched for
him the next day, resulting in one OF
them, a son of Antoine RomO. finding
his clothes beside a bush a short dis
lance from the edge Of the lake. He
examined the water Whereabouts but
saw nothing The men returned to
town and spread the news Of the
finding of the clothes. Several MeXi- |
cans at once proceeded to the spot
and. taking off their clothes, entered
the water at the nearest point and
soon succeeded in finding the body of
the poor little fellow. It was on the /
bottom in about eight feet of water. I.
The find was reported to Judge
Evans. acting as coroner. who held /
an inquest on the body. who brought /
in a verdict Of accidental drowning. /
