the same log, and for time it
looked as if they could not release
him without his losing either. his
arm or his leg.
They finally released his arm,
which caused the unfortunate man
considerable pain and suffering, he
being compelled to bear the weight
of the logs while the men were try
ing to release his arm and prevent
his leg being cut off by the logs
massed upon it.
When they succeeded by leverage
to raise the logs. they hastily pulled
Montierth from under to place of
safety. Montierth had been under
the logs for over an hour.
Montierth was on the verge of
fainting, when he was revived by
drink of brandy, brought by Mrs.
Prudential, who had arrived on
the scene as Montierth was taken
from under the logs.
Montierth was placed on cot
and carried to Camp Inception,
where he received the kindly atten-
ton of the women folk and made
as comfortable as possible under
the circumstances. He suffered
great pain and came near collapsing,
but held up bravely while hot ap-
plications were applied to his arm
and leg to reduce the swelling.
Hiram Chlarson kept UP the hot
applications all night with the re-
suit that Montierth was resting
easier by morning. Although the
muscles and tendons in the forearm
and leg were badly crushed and
bruised, no bones were broken.
Yesterday, Mr.. Montierth was
feeling much better, but was unable
to be moved. 1t win be sometime
before he will be able to use his arm
or leg.
tits expected that Mr.. Montierth's
will improve so that he
can be taken to his home the latter
part of the week.

A PERILOUS PLIGHT
Alvin Montierth Crushed BY
Logs in the Graham
Mountains

Alvin Montierth, of Thatcher, EN-
ployed at Chlarson's mill in the
Graham mountains, met with ser,
ious accident Tuesday while bring.
ing logs down the road to the mill
Montierth had string of eight
logs, to which he had his team
hitched. Reaching a part of the
hill just above the mill, where the
grade is very steep, the team in
some way became detached from
the logs. The six logs behind the
two lead logs caused them to buckle
before Montierth could get out Of
the way.
The largest log, which measured
thirty inches at the butt, pinioned
Montierth's left leg on the skid and
under the log and his left arm was
caught between the logs and tree.
He still held the lines, but was un-
able to loosen his grip, the weight
of the seven logs pressing against
the log which had caught him.
Montierth was alone and unable
to extricate himself from under the
logs, and called loudly for help.
The nearest place where people
might hear his cries was Camp In
eeption, quarter of a mile from
the scene of the accident,
Ranger Birdno heard his cries and
sent his young son George to see
what the trouble was. Arthur
Jenning went along, and when they
reached Montierth they found him
in such a perilous position that he
sent young Birdno back to Camp
Inception for more help. He re-
turned with Berry Foster, Ranger
Birdno, Ph. Prudential and his
two sons.
When the rescue party reached
Montierth's side they found it inn
possible to get him from under the
logs until they had moved the up
per log bodily up the hill and block
ed it. They had to work very care
fully to remove the log that had
pinioned his leg to the skid, his arm
being also held against the tree by

We believe that a system of well
arranged and economically construc.
ted highways should be built, and we
favor the creation of a non-partisar
commission to have charge of this
important public work, as may be
provided by law.
PUBLIC LANDS
A great gift is conferred upon
the people of the State in the gift
of public lands provided for in the
enabling act. and ample provision
should be made in the constitution
for the honest, economical and eff
| ficient management and disposition
of those public lands, to the end
that the burden of taxation upon
the people of the State may be re-
duced. In the case of present oc.
cupants and holders of leases OF
school lands, provision should be
made in the constitution for their
reimbursement for the actual value
of the improvements thereon and
the appurtanence S thereto, to be
ascertained by an impartial appraise-
ment whenever said lands should be
sold, as may be provided by law.
COMBINATIONS IN FORMS OF TRUSTS
Provision should be made in the
constitution to prevent and prohibit
combinations and conspiricies in the
form of trusts or otherwise in re-
straint of trade or commerce with
in the State.
In conclusion we favor the franz
ing of constitution for the State
of Arizona which shall be truly pro-
gressiye, simple in expression, easy
of common understanding, broad
enough to protect all classes of So
ciety, elastic enough to meet new
conditions as they may hereafter
arise, and which may be amended
by majority vote of the people.
The convention then adjourned to
meet again at 4:30 o'clock.

stitutional convention to fulfill their
duty without fear with regard to
the rights and interests of the en-
tire citizenship of Arizona.
Realizing the necessity for capital
to develop our vast undeveloped re-
sources, we believe our constitution
should hold out all reasonable in
ducements to the investor, consis-
tent with good government. and
that only such restrictions be placed
upon capital as to insure to it the
same, but no greater right than the
individual.
We pledge the support of our
nominees to such provisions of the
constitution as will forever pre-
serve the full rights of the laborer
as an American citizen.
We imperatively demand and
pledge our nominees to constitu-
tional provision giving the people
the power of direct legislation
through the system denominated as
follows:
1. The right of the people to in
dicate and adopt legislation by di-
rect vote. commonly called the
INITIATIVE.
2. The right of the people to re-
ject laws adopted by the legislature
by direct vote, commonly called the
REFERENDUM.
8. The right Of the people to
remove from office any officer cleo
ted by them, commonly called the
RECALL.
We demand that the provisions in
the constitution for it's future
amendment be of the most liberal
character, to the end that the peo-
pie may in the future make such
changes as the conditions may re-
quire.
We believe that all matters that
can be appropriately covered by
Legislation should be left to abide
the action of the people or the legis-
lature.
We invite attention to the plat
forms adopted by the republicans
throughout the Territory as being
meaningless, colorless and undistin-
guished by a single definite sugges-
tion of policy or purpose.
Having declared ourselves for the
principles above enumerated and
pledged our nominees to their sup
port, we invite the cooperation of
all the voters of Graham county,
irrespective of party affiliations.
The convention enthusiastically
adopted the platform.
The following were nominated
for delegates to the constitutional
convention:

The nominations for delegates
were carried by unanimous vote.
On motion the Central Committee

A. p. Burton, a middle aged man,

Wichita, where she had lived for a
short time with him and her mother.

of contest against 1t was served in the
probate court at the same time, the
will has not been admitted to probate

which consists of real estate IN To-
peka and Leavenworth, has peen

known merchant in this city ana

today's suit, has been feeble for many
months as the result of two falls
which are alleged to have weakened
her mind. Her daughter. Ida May
Matthews, was adjudged insane two
years ago.
Mrs. Davis AYERS that she Is the
daughter of Charles J. Gordon, a son
of the testator, dead for many years,
and that she and Mrs. Ida May
Matthews are the only legal heirs
The will filed in the probate court was
drawn in the summer of 1909, devising
to Mrs. Davis a small share In the
estate, but a codicil appended In jan

cally her sole heirs. The deed, trans.

ercise ordinary judgment, with the re-
suit that her legal rights to one.har
of her grandmother's estate have been
entirely ignored.
