HURLED TWENTY
 FEET IN THE AIR

George Walton, a railroad con- tractor at Fairview, was blown about twenty feet in the air, on Friday of last week by a blast and miraculously escaped death by the thousandth part of an inch. Had he made another step forward or mad he reached the blast second later he would have been blown to atoms. As Walton weighs in the neighborhood of 250 pounds, it can easily be imagined that there was considerable force behind the ex- plosion.
 There were three blasts set off by a battery, and for some unknown reason only two exploded. Think ing all three had gone off, Walton walked toward the holes and was in the act of stopping over for in- vestigation when the third shot went off The explosion lifted him in the air as though he were a feather. Several men nearby, who saw the accident, hastened to the scene, expecting to find him man. gled beyond recognition, but were astonished to find that he was not even seriously injured. Another man was slightly injured about the head and face by the explosion.
 Walton was brought to the hos pital here. and at present writing has almost recovered from the effects of his involuntary aerial flight. His eyes were not injured nor was hrs face disfgured.

TORRES AND GERULE
 HELD WITHOUT BAIL

The preliminary hearing of Jesus Torres and Andreas Gerule, charged with the murder of John Abbey, oc- cupied the time of Judge Rounse- ville's court on Tuesday and We'd nesday afternoon. The examina- tion resulted in both of the accused being held to appear before the grand jury without bail. Strong evidence against Torres was pro- duced, Gerule testifying that while he (Gerule) and the deceased were engaged in a quarrel, Torres beat Abbey about the head and face with a pistol. Torres, on the other hand, tried to make the case look as black as possible for Gerule and minimizing to the utmost the part he played in the fatal affray.
 Twenty-two witnesses in all were examined. Henry Ashurst ap- peared for Gerule, District Attor. ney Sleeves represented the terri tory, and Torres acted as his own attorney, and the manner in which he conducted his defense showed that he has had considera ble ex- perience in criminal matters. The court room was crowded during the hearing, standing room being at a premium.
 From all accounts. Jesus Torres is pretty tough proposition. He served a term in the Colorado pen tentiary, at Canyon City, and few years ago, while incarcerated in the Williams jail, managed to make his escape. He has been in trouble frequently in Phoenix and other towns of the territory. but has here tofore managed to evade justice en- tirely or to escape with a light jail sentence.
