LOSES LEG ON HIS
WAY TO PHOENIX
Salt River Valley Had Almost Fatal
Attraction for Mexican
Wanderer

Felipe Canon. a wandering son of
Chino BampO, FL Fuerte, Sinaloa,
felt drawn last Wednesday evening
TO extend his itinerary on to the
smiling Salt River valley, and being
at that time in Tucson. he promptly
took steps to board a north bound
freight train. Having an aversion
to walking. he took the train, but
without the knowledge, collision or
consent of the train crew. Therefore,
when he fell under the wheels, and
had one of his legs cut off. he had
only himself to blame for the acct
dent.
Wednesday night Ramon Comache
found an injured man on the South
ern Pacific tracks between Church
and Stone streets in Tucson and he
Immediately notified the police head
quarters.
Securing a hack, Officer Ybarra and
Plunkett went to the place where
the injured man was lying and took
him to the Southern Pacific station
where medical aid was summoned by
them. There it was found that the

there was a cash of at least ten
inches in length, the flesh being cut
clear to the bone. II is thought that
the man was dragged along the track
and sustained this injury by being
caught against some object This
wound can be cured without amputa
ton, if the man lives.
According to the story told by Ca
mon. he attempted to board a South
ern Pacific freight train, intending
to go to Phoenix. He claims that
he was pushed off by "A man who
wore brass buttons like an officer"
Before the train left the yards the
police looked il over. as did the i'm
migration officers, and they agree
that there was no person on the train
that answers the description which
the injured man gives. 1t was a
freight train and there was no mem

JUAREz B|CKERS
OVER new MAYOR
important Position in Border City
Made Vacant by Blanco's
Resignation

The appointment of General Jose de
la Blanco to the office of command
ant Of the rurales in Northern Chi
huahua has necessitated his resigna-
ton from the command OF the city
government of JuareZ in order that
he may devote his entire time to the
duties of his new position. His re-
quest has not been granted as yet,
but il is probable that it will be at an
early date, as the state of affairs
now prevailing in the state make 1t
necessary to mobilize the rurales, and
give Chihuahua an efficient police
system, pending the reorganization of
city governments, and the return of
the people to peaceful occupations.
The resignation of General Blanco
has opened the question as to who
will be his successor as municipal
chief of the city of Juarez. The gov
ernments' choice has not been an
nOunced as yet. but the people Of the
city seem unanimous in the selection
of Lieut. Col. Medina for the posi-
ton. The situation of the city makes
il necessary to place an able man
in charge of it's affairs A petition
asking that Medina be appointed to
the vacancy made by the withdrawal
of Blanco was circulated among the
business men and prominent citizens
Of Juarez early I'm the week. and was
forwarded to Governor A5ram Con
Zales II il expected that the gov
ernor will take action on the matter.
as word of his selection is impatient
" awaited by the people.
When interviewed on the subject
a few DAYS ago. General BlancO said
he did not know who his successor
would be. but he expressed the opin-
ion that Juan Medina might be select
ed for the place by Governor Con
zales, as he seemed to be the choice
of the people.
A few OF the citizens of JuareZ have
been favoring Pedro f. Masse. deputy
l'collector of the JuareZ custom house.
to fill the place. but Maese says he is
well contented with his present place
and would not care to change. He is
also an ardent supporter Of Col
Medina.
Gen. BIanco intends to devote his
entire efforts To the organization of
the military and police of northern
Chiahuahua His appointment as
commandant of rurales I'm northern
Chiahuahua arrived Monday. and so
the general intends To- take up his
work as soon as possible.
However, he will attend to the
civil government Of JuareZ until his
successor is appointed. Gen. Blanco
intends to retain the office Of mill
tary chief of JuareZ for the time be-
ing. and will make his headquarters
in JuareZ.

BALL FANS GALLERY
OF NOTABLEs
OLD BOY DOCKNEY.
Whose Spartan Endurance Stands Un-
equalled Among Catchers.

Philadelphia Athletics are seldom
unknown to prominence. Most fans
are familiar with recent performances
of the star team of the sleepy city.
but not so many realize that this is
just the pursuance of a happy habit
formed forty years ago. There was a
was winner. History repeats.
The early Athletics came honestly by
their name. There wasn't among them
one who couldn't bend nickel with
two fingers and outswear an admiral
And of all the crew, one Dockney. who
specialized in catching. was by far the
hardest. BY way of diversion his fellow
players used to take ten-penny nails,
jab them into Dockney's cheek and
watch them break This was great
sport for the boys in their hCurs of
east, and Dockney didn't mind; besides,
the nails didn't cost much.
Dockney used to catch without the
aid Of artifice other than a sawed-off
kid glove. which you must admit didn't
offer much of resistance to a swift
pitched ball. But the precaution was
all Dockley wanted. He considered
further safeguard womanish.
one time when the Athletics went
a-calling on st. Louis. Mr.. Dockney
became properly enthused in a success

he had Exhausted his pleasantries of
conversation. he introduced 4 glass

One night i'm the hospital vas all
Dockney asked for, and next afternoon
he was back of the bat, with a set of
stitches in his body and an OLD flannel
shirt to cover them. Dick Mcbride was
doing the pitching. and Dick. you may
recall, was a Niagara for swiftness.
Dockney missed one. and the ball
crashed into his mended chest and UNI
mended it. The flannel shirt sopped
up the blood, and the game went on.
Now and then Dock would miss another

few stitches. But good old Dockney

LIGHTNING STROKES
MADE CLOSE CALLS
Two Citizens Were Missed BY a
Hair When Lightning
Strikes

An exceedingly narrow escape from
death by lightning was that of A. J.
Williams, lineman for the Western
Union. whose jurisdiction embraces all
Of Arizona north of Winkelman, west
as far as Parker. north to Needles and
east as far as Flagstaff
On Thursday afternoon Mr.. Williams
was making repairs on the line near
Ash Fork He had just planted a
pole and the storm coming on with
great violence he made a run for
a train which was standing on the
track nearby. As he reached the
platform the sky was ripped open
by a streak of lightning and at the
same instant the earth shook under
the impact of something heavy. Mr..
Williams looked back and was amazed
to see the place of the new telegraph
pole huge sheaf of quivering spint-
ers.
A not less narrow escape was that
of C. T. Bonney living near Eleventh
and Pierce street on Thursday even
ing He was working with a shovel
in the garden when the sudden storm
came up and his little boy was play
ing beside him. There was a blind
ing flash of lightning and Mr.. Bonney
saw his little son fall down. He
picked him up and ran into the
house with him when he too sank
into Inconsistencies from which he
was aroused i'm a short time. 1t was
later found that the blade of the
shovel with which he was working
at the time OF the lightning stroke
was split for its whole length.

erty band will accompany the players
from this city, although this plan has
not as yet been definitely settled. II
will be a good thing to have little
good music to bolster up the spirits of
the Phoenix boys when they find them
selves so far away from home. They
tell themselves, however, that they will
matter which way the battle goes. they
expect to come home reporting the fin
est kind of a good time, and n day of
unadulterated joy. SO the brass band
will not be taken along for the purpose
of bolstering anyone or anything, but
for the purpose of adding a little har-
mony to the other less musical sounds
which are commonly created on such
an occasion.
The train will leave Phoenix at o.
clock tomorrow morning. and will leave
Tucson on the return trip tomorrow ev-
ening at $50. 1t is expected that a
crowd will fill the cars TO their utmost
capacity, and that Phoenix will send
the largest representation she has ev-
er gathered together to attend an out
side ball game.
As White puts it: we feel that we
are going to play for Phoenix. and we
want to have the support of every fan
in the city who can possibly get away
to go down with us"

Tho shops are now showing beautiful
new styles, with all sorts of fancy
buckles-some OF them set with
mock Jewels inlaid with enamel or
carved in intricate designs.
The belts themselves are In the
most part plain. but for the woman
who desires a fancy touch 70 her cos

Straps and cross-bars OF shiny kid are

with long metal buckles covered with

attractive belt is of golden brown
