DR.. SMITH SAVES
VICTIMS OF POISON
HELM RESIDENTS HAVE
VERY NARROW, ESCAPE
DIR. j. Griswold and Mrs. John King
Take Enough Fluid Extract Of
Aconite TO Kill Several People
Poisoning Was Accidental.

DIR. J. Griswold and Mrs. John
King. the Helix victims of Saturdays
poisoning, are rapidly recovering from
the effects of their carelessness and
are reported to be out of all danger
They probably owe their lives to the
fact that each took enough of the
deadly drug to kill several persons
and to the prompt arrival and hard
work of DR.. c. ]. Smith. Both were
in a critical condition when the Pen
dleton physician arrived and he was
compelled to work over them for sew
eral hours before they shovel signs
of recovery.
According to reports which reach
ed Pendleton yesterday, Mrs King
had not been we'll and had taken q
teaspoonful of what she thought was
medicine. AS soon as she had swal'
lowed the poison, she noticed her mis-
take and rushed to the physician will
the bottle The latter CLAN ed at th'
label and misleading it, thought the
bottle contained a harmless mixture
and proceeded to reassure the fright
ened woman by telling her that h
could take a tablespoonful of it with
out any i'll effects. Suiting the actiol
to the word he took a large swallow
as both became critically i'll almos
Immediately, DR.. Griswold took
second look at the label and discov
cred that they had taken fluid ex
tract of aconite, a drop of which
a dose.
AS soon as this discovery was mad

a very false but natural method OF
reasoning 1t is that when we see two
events happening together. especially
when they are extraordinary, one OF
them near and the other far and more
mysterious, we link them together as
cause and effect. Even supposing that
the comets tail contains cyanogen.
1t may be in such a rarified condition
that billions OF men could pass

"And even supposing that the high
ly attenuated cyanogen OF the comets
tail came to combine with the earth's
atmosphere the question remains to
be decided what sort Of combination
| II would be, For 1t is well known that
certain combinations of the most
deadly deleterous elements are not
only harmless, but will be greatly
beneflting. as for instance, prussic
acid in peach leaves, not to mention
other examples well known to chem

THE FACILITATES
 OF THE WEATHER
Wind, Rain and Dust About Equally
 Divided

Regardless of whether ar not th. comet was responsible for ycstcr,lays peculiar and unusual weather the fact yet remains that it was unusual and decidedly peculiar. Earl comet gazcrs yesterday morning noted nothing strange about the condition of the sky. yet in half an hour heavy rain was falling. IL lasted but a few mom- euts and failed to settle tho dust There were couple of spsmodiC showers during the forenoon but they did not amount to much During the forenoon there were frequent gusts of 6isagrecable wind, scattering dust and destruction in their paths.
 One gust of more than common force upset La Monts small barn back of the New York store. The barn tipped away from the buggy and left t standing in the open. The horse was tied to the manager and was very near strangulation before help arrived. William Goodwin was an eye witness to the accident and quickly released the animal from it's prodi- cament.

DISTRIBUTION
 P|NEA|R LOTS Plan of Division Among the Stockholders WILL BE DONE BY LOT In the Same Manner That
 Government Disposes of
 Public Lands In Giving
 to the Successful the
 First Chance
WILL BE DONE BY LOT

When th" directors of the Piu-.ir summer resort accepted their offices they had in mind that their real duties
 lay in the iudici"us expenditure of the money which should be entrusted to their care in the building uf @ road of twelve miles i'm length from the Roose- welt highway to the Pineair resort. And while the expenditure of the money in Ia way calculated to give satisfaction to everyone of the 3l2 stockholders has been fairly successfully carried out there k another obstacle directly ahead which k giving the directors some concern. The men who have been elect ed to the position nf directors of the company are very desirouS nf evolving some plan whereby the selection of lots may be made in the ne,r future and in d manner s0 that every stock holder or lot owner may feel assured that he has come into possession of the very best tract of land in the land set aside for the resort The directors. of course. cannot guarantee to give every shareholder tn" best lot. but it is their intention to give every stock
 
 th, best lot Pineair is said ,u he q place with an even temperature. That iS one lat will probably he as cool as another during the summer months. which k after all the importan. feature of the summer visitors. However. there are some lots that lie much mor" level. and then again there are some lots that are covered with pine trees while there are others that are not.
 The selection of the lots must of necessity be a sort of sight unseen with absolutely no blanks. Every one is to get a prize. The plan which has thus far met the approval of the directors probably more than any other is to place the numbers from l .o 3ls in d box and allow the shareholders in the resort to draw. The first man up may draw out No 5o or he may draw out No. 900. The point is that if he draws out No. 50 he will take his place and after forty-nine men have had chance to select ticir lots he will be given a chance |" make a selection from d plat or map which will possi- bly, be blind as far as any illustrations such as trees and streams are con ccrned. The man who secures the first choice will in all probability make selection no better than the man Se- curing d number farther down the line. for but very few men know the real lay Of the land at the resort.
 There is another feature of the draw ing that has been put up to the direct urS and it iS one in which they have about decided to consider favorably. and that is the permission to allow grouping of lots. For instance. if number of families desire to be close nciGhbors during the summer ar desire to. have their lots adioining thiS will Inc

TRAVELLING MEN
 QUICK CHANGE ARTISTS

Never before in the history of Mcsa. where the standards of dress may he considered conservative. was there such a shock received as that of yes tcrday morning when the prunc ped dIcrs" began to arrive in town fresh from the scene of the fire at the Hotel Adams where practically all of them had been reused from their s!umbcrS into thcir trousers with haste that they should not have been blamed if one of their number did try desperately to stretch his half hose around his neck until it would serve the purpose Of . cravat. and then walk across the street and attempt to trade his paiamas for a pair of trousers No wonder then that the nccktic on the man travelling out of st Joe.

A man who climbs out Of third story window. slides down a porch post. picks out . few splintcrs where they would nd- iurally stick goes without breakfast and then attempts to borrow enough money to wire the house for more to buy an outfit of clothes and catch an x o'clock train does not have much time {" look after the particular blend ing of colors which may naturally b" expected of the ordinary wcll-3roomed travelling man.
 However. all of them were thankful that they were alive. one of the more optimistic in recounting his experiences expressed himself as being especially SO. He had q room on the third floor He stated that when the bell-hop came through the hall crying fire. he had the presence of mind to put on his pants Yes. that's what he called them pants" You know a man in dead earnest will usually use the shortest word to express what he means. To- morrow this same man in rccounting his experience will doubtless say trous CTS. Well anyway he was respectfully dressed when the l-hop let him out through the kitchen door. but he was not comfortably dressed. He was without shoes After walking around on the cobbIc stones and broken beer bottles in the alley for a half hour a thought struck him to get . pair of shoes. He walked along as best he could until he came to a clothing store bcmoaning his fate all the time. when in came one of his fellow laborers in the travelling salesman line and asked for pair of brooches as quick as pos siblc Then he estimated tha: he was not the most unlucky man in the world after all.

CALL OF ASSISTANCE PROMPTLY ANSWERED
Tempe Was Ready to Respond to the
 Phoenix Call for Help.

The fire in Phoenix yesterday morn ing created good deal of excitement here for time. A telephone mes sage was received asking for the as- sistancc of the Tempe fire department and fire fighting equipment. It was thought in Phoenix at that time that pretty much all the Adams block and possibly more was doomed. The ala rm was sounded here and the hose cart was immediately taken to the depot. The call for help came at about half past six and there was enough time for the equipment to be taken to the depot in order for it to be loaded on the incoming Maricopa train. All pre- paratiOns for this plan of procedure were made when a second message came stating that it was then thought the flames were under control and that the assistance of Tempe would not he needed. Consequently tho equipment was not sent over.

done. or rather it can be done. by designating someone hy giving to that particular someone their proxies. The giving of proxies. however. must be done before the time set for thc draw ing commences. for if this was allowed to be done after the time set for the drawing the chances are that the man drawing No. l from the box would have an opportunity to select for a number of other stockholders and the entire plan would be made useless.
 An attempt has been made to out line the proposed system of making elections 50 that if there appears to be any features that would come in contact with anyone's idea of fairness and justice. that complaint might bc registered at this time or before the directors decide conciuSively 70 follow the plan above outlined. It should be further understood that the plan has not been finally adopted. and if any one has better proposition to offer for the making or allotments the direct ors will be glad to consider it.
 In the consideration of the allot- ment plan there is another feature that the directors do not wish lost sight Of, and that is the payment of the monthly installmcnts as they come due. M. A. stewart has been named as collector for the resort comrany and it will grievc him greatly to be compelled to knock q few dozen people in the head in order to get the SIPS payment which has been due for some time.
