EXCITING EXPERIENCE
 WITH A MOTORCYCLE
IT CAUGHT FIRE WHILE ON THE
 BRIDGE.
The Result Was Scorched Face and
 Badly Damaged Machine.

Bailey Brimhall, local motorcyclist' Jhad an experience while crossing the bridge Saturday evening that he would not care to repeat. It is a common practice of motorcyclists to ride the ties at full speed: the theory being that the faster one goes the less vibra- tion there is. MT. Brimhall started across as usual and when making good headway, the gasoline tank in some inexplainable manner caught fire. He stopped as soon as possible and did everything in his power to put the conflagration out. Such an incident on the ground is not infrequent or alarming; a handful of dust settles the matter, but on the bridge where there was neither water or dust, the extin- gushing of the flames was an utter impossibility. He tried to blow it out but without result and in so doing suf- fered a badly singed face. In trying to avoid letting the machine go overheard into the river, he likewise suffered a couple of badly burned spots on both hands. Eventually the gasoline tank melted and the fire was for moment fiercer than ever. then the oil having all been consumed, it died out. leaving the machine in a bad state of dilap- idation.

4 CROP OF OATS
 TAXES THE CAKE
CONSIDERABLE HIGHER THAN A
 MANS HEAD.
To Be Exact, Samples Measured Seven
 and a Half Feet.

Real Estate Agent A. B. Tomlinson has on exhibition a bunch of oats that are deserving of the cake, so far as height goes. They were grown on the Ben Pearman ranch west of town by H. H. Cole. Their height is just seven feet six inches, without stretching them. Mir. Cole says he made no spe- cial effort to find the tallest in the field and is confident that with little hunting around. he could find some that would surpass this record. To say the least they are fine and a splen did example of what can be grown on Tempe soil. Mir. Tomlinson also has left over from last year a bunch of the famous Chaplain Scott oats. that caus- ed so much excitement in the valley at the time. It is not now recollected whether those grown by the chaplain exceeded in height seven and a half feet, but the sample Mir. Tomlinson held over lacks a couple of inches of coming up with the Cole crop.
