SERIOUS ACCIDENT
BEFALLS YOUNG Son
Of GEORGE BRISSELL
ARM SHATTERED FROM FALL
AND BONES PROTRUDE THE
FLESH.

At about o'clock yesterday after
noon the five-year-old son of George
Brissell was returning to his home
from the scene of the fire at the
Clark residence on University
Heights, when he stopped at the
home of Mrs. Laura Egan, on Bryan
avenue, to play with her children.
The Egan house. being built on the
south slope of Mt. Brougher, the
front porch is six or seven feet off
the ground The lad mounted the
steps and sat on the railing, which
runs around the porch. From some
cause the boy lost his oaian1e and
fell to the ground, striking on his
right arm.
Mrs. Egan, who was engaged in
sewing in room in the rear of
the house heard the child lament
ing and on going to the porch found
the boy lying on the ground, suffer
ing great pain.
The lady lifted up the unfortunate
child and upon examination discov-
cred that the right forearm had
been broken, the fracture being no
bad that the Jagged ends of the
broken bones were protruding
through the flesh
Her first thought was to telephone
for a physician, but upon the adj
vice of a neighbor they immediate
ly conveyed the child to his home
near Brougher avenue, about two
blocks away.
On the way they stopped at the
residence of John Farris and Mrs
Farris summoned aid from Mr.. Film
and that gentleman carried the lit
tie fellow to his home. The pail
was so excrutiating that the chilt
was semi-conscious by the time HI
\ reached his abode
A physician was called immediate
ly. When the physician reached tn
Brissell home he set at work mend
ing the broken limb The boy SUI
fered untold agony during the nigh
but today he is reported as restin
easily.
So serious was the fracture tha
it required six stitches to close tn
abrasion made by the protrudin
bones. 1t will be at least five day
before the attending physician ca
set the bones and place the arr
in a paster cast.

JAMES MAHONEY HAS
Been FOUND ALIVE BY

HAD WANDERED MANY MILES
OVER THE DESERT SANDS
OF NEVADA.

RENO, New, Sept. flames Ma
honey, the New York policeman who
was crazed by the heat on the desert
Wednesday afternoon, has been
found.
On receipt of telegram notify
ing him of the disappearance of Mr..
Mahoney from the surveying camp.
Constable G. w. Sharkey of Hazen
notified Sheriff Commit and the two
set out to find him dead or alive.
They found him late last night near
the Desert Queen mine In speak
ing Of the search Constable Sharkey
said
Late last night we returned from
the survey camp and there found
the young man, He had just re-
turned and was in an exhausted
condition, but his mind had been
cleared Of the heat madness and
| he was perfectly rational | don't
think that there will be any serious
consequences. He is now Injured
to the desert heat
"Mahoney wandered away without
clothing, food or water He did
not know where he was going, but
he hurried on and his tongue was
so swollen with thirst as he crawled
into camp at the Desert Queen
mine that he could not speak.
"The boys gave him every atten-
tion and care The next morning
he was sufficiently recovered that
the miners conveyed him back to
the survey camp. He had mighty
narrow escape, as all who know the
desert realize. His heat madness
was due to the fact that he was
not used to the desert. He knows
a few things about it now"

on the eye of an appreciation that
will splinter the efforts OF cradle

valuation.

Open TUESDAY

The Tonopah schools will open
morning, it is thought, with
a larger attendance than that of
last year, as a great many new
families have moved to this city
during the past three months. The
coming year promises to be a most
profitable one to the teachers and
students alike. Professor Yoder is
a hard worker and his efforts will
surely bring results to the scholar.
All classes begin their work on
Tuesday morning, so it behooves
all students to be on hand with
their books ready to buckle down
to then regular work

THE SIGN OF GOOD TINES.

There are very few vacant stores
or residences on the Comstock at
the present time, many men em-
ployed in the mines finding it inn
possible to bring their families here
on account of the lack of suitable
houses.
The biggest mistake property
holders made here several years ago,
was when houses were torn down
by the score and moved to Reno
when the boom first started there.
Virginia is not having a boom on
sensational lines, but steady, grad
ual growth in keeping with the
improving conditions in the mines.

JOHN BENEDICT
COMING TO CITY
Another Good Ball Player Has Beer
Secured by the Hattiesburg
Club.

The Mobile Register speaks of John
Benedict, who has been bought by the
Hattiesburg Baseball Association from
Mobile, as follows:
John Benedict, leading backstoI
of the City League last season, and
signed by Manager Holmes at the be
ginning of this season, has been sold
to the Hattiesburg club of Cotton
States league, and leaves in a few
days to join them.
Benedict has learned much of the
way professional baseball is played
since the training season opened, and
he will, no doubt, make the Cotton
States a valuable catcher. Manager
Holmes, and, in fact, all the players
have taken an interest in the young
ster, who is anxious to break into
professional company, and, quick to
learn, he has benefited much by his
experience.
Manager Holmes believes Bene-
dict will some day make a good ball
player, and goes to the Cotton States
League with a string attached, so in
case he develops, as everyone thinks
he will, Mobile will not lose his SER
vices.
THAT he will make good with the
Hattiesburg club, all the local ball
players are confident, as he cannot
only catch, but plays the 'outfeld well,
and can hit, something that will win
a job on almost any old ball club.
Local fans have watched the young
ster with interest, and will pull for
him to rise rapidly in the baseball
world"
