BEN YAEGER IS SERIOUSLY
 INJURED
(From Tuesdays Daily

Suffering from the fracture of five
 ribs. one of which penetrated one of his lungs and complicated by an at tack of broncno-pneumonia, Ben Yaeger has been lying in the Sisters hospital in this city far several days, in precarious condition. He is dO- ing as well as could be expected un- der the circumstances and every day that passes adds to the hope for his early recovery, but he is yet a very sick man, says the Phoenix Repub- lican.
 MT. Yaeger suffered his injuries a week ago today at Congress Junction near which point his sheep are graz ing and where shearing has been in progress for some time. Nobody seems to know exactly how the acci- dent occurred except that he was thrown from his riding horse some distance from the station. was found and brought to the station and later to Phoenix by train, suffering the most terrible pain. Mrs. Yaeger who was living in Prescott was notified and came at once to Phoenix to be at her husbands badside as much as possible, and stopping with the fam fly of her husbands brother, L. D. Yaeger, in Evergreen Place.
 Ben Yaeger formed a wide ac- quainteanee while living here being employed at various times in the To- cal banks and postOffiee, and later was for a long time manager of the Hotel Adams. Leaving that institu tiOn he engaged in the sheep business which has also been the chief enter prise of his father and brothers for many years. Ben's flOeks spend the greater part of the year in northern Yavapai but were brought south this year with many others for shearing and lambing. Though he has not been a familiar figure in Phoenix for the last two or three years nearly every body wno was here previous to that ing and touring public, know him in will sympathize with him in his misfortune and hope for his speedy and complete recovery.

FATALLY INJURED IN DYNAMITE
 EXPLOSION
CFrom Tuesdays Daily

Last Saturday at Fairview, on the Santa Fe railroad, thirty cans of giant powder, each containing about fifteen pounds, were aecidently ex- ploded while two men were engaged in handling them. One of the men was thrown against a small boulder and had large hole torn into his skull. He was taken to Williams for treatment and will die, it is said. His associate, fared more fortunate, however. He was thrown a distance of over forty feet, and when he alighted fell on soft ground. Not a bone in his body was injured, and in few seconds he was on his feet rendering assistance to his companion. The accident was witnessed by sev- eral graders on the road, and all rushed to the scene immediately; to render assistance.
 Another illustration of the freakish action of the explosive was proven when small dog that was passing was so severely shaken that he was found less than twenty feet away with both his front legs brok- en, and was killed as an act of mercy. The man who escaped says this is the second time he has been in giant powder explosions, and in the first one had his left wrist shat tered.

ENTRANCING SCENES
 ON NEW HIGHWAY
Views on Route of Territorial Road Through Bradshaw Mountains Are
 Bewildering in Fascination
(From Tuesdays Daily

When the Territorial Highway be- tween Prescott and Phoenix is com pleted, the most magnificent scenery along the route will be afforded at a
 point about three miles west of liar rington. was the statement made yes terday by T. N. Childers, county road
 superintendent, who has returned from an examination of the various routes of travel in the Bradshaw
 region. Mir. Childers states that he passed along the surveyed route, and
 for the first time in the many years he has resided in the county, he was bewildered with the fascination of the scene as viewed from an eleva- tion of over 5000 feet, and which he states is without an equal in its pan oramic effects. It was late in the afternoon when he reached that point, and So vivid and entraneing was the perspective that he remained on the summit until the glare of the electric lights in the Capital City 60 miles away, closed the event with one of keen appreciation and satisfaction. He says the day was clear as a crystal. and with his naked eye the far away Eagle Tail mountains, in Yuma county the Vulture Peak, Har- qua Halas, Sheep Back, the Mogol- Ions, with the gigantic Friseos, in the

center, the White Mountains of Apache county, the Superstition range of Pinal, Mt. Wilson and num- erous others of the more prominent elevations, were pronounced and easi- ly distinguished. Intervening were the thousands of hummoeks as they lay in silence, forming a picture that would thrill the lover of the beautiful. MT. Childers states that the cotton wood trees of Phoenix were as easily discernable as though but a few miles away, while smoke from the moving trains along the Southern Pacific, was followed until some n- tervening mound obliterated all trace.
 To him the night scene was most interesting. That night the are lights of the Capital City were seen as plainly as though he was but a few miles away, and each was counted as readily as though on the ground.
 The building of the Territorial road through that country, will be all the more appreciated when it is eomplet- ed, and if for no other reason than that of affOrding the many an op- pOrtunity to see the picturesque land scape for hundreds of miles in either direction, this laudable undertaking should be hastened along with all possible speed, he says.

OFFENDER CAPTURED.
(From Tuesdays Daily)


 Just as soon as Augustine Vega, of Tempe, learned that Chief of Police Hawkins, of Jerome, mad left for the coast, he took the back track, and a few hours after his arrival in that town, was arrested by Officer John Hudgens, and will appear before Judge Denison today to have his hearing on the serious charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Last September the accused cut a country man in several places with a large knife, and left for parts unknown. Vega was very much surprised when taken into custody, and was endeav- bring to visit his mother and other relatives before the return of Chief Hawkins.

UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.
(From Tuesdays daily)

SelsO Gutierrez, young Mexican employe of the Puntenney lime works, was brought to the city yesterday, with a bad wound in his left arm occasiOned by the accidental dis charge of a six shooter. Another illustration of the old story of "didn t know it was loaded" The wounded man had a very narrow escape from losing his life. He was sitting on the bed, and a friend alongside be- gan snapping the hammer, believing that the cylinder contained no cart ridges. A few minutes before the weapon was supposed to have been relieved of any cartridges, and when the accident took place the man handling it was getting ready to clean it.

liking to my mother. After she was mar

one floor above. Tom often CAM to visit
her. but as soon as he found out there was
a baby in the family, he never came again.
suppose he thought he would have TO take
a back seat and the baby would get all or
the attention. once when a stranger was
at the house the cat got frightened and ran

everybody thought he was dead by that
time One day when all were upstairs the
maid saw a cat thin as possible come
walking toward the house. All she said
was, "Well. Tom, did You come back. She
offered him a saucer Of milk. Tom smelled

REVIVAL OE PIRACY.

The revival Of piracy in tho Eastern seas
is not very surprising phase of the CHI
nese revolution. In the early days OF the
British occupation Hong Kong was con-
stantly troubled with pirates and they have
never been thoroughly suppressed. The
same thing occurred in the Malay Archi-
pelago and Rajah Brooke and Admiral KEEP
pei had many an encounter with the daring
pirates at Borneo and Celebes. but II was
the advent OF the steamship that finally
gave them their death blow in Malaga.
Every schoolboy ought to know the story
OF the first steamer of Borneo. Soue pirate
ships saw a steamer H. the distance, and.
observing the smoke from It's tunnels.
thought the ship was on fire, and therefore
helpless. They gave chase, but they were
amazed 10 see the strange sea beast come
up steadily against the wind and vomit fire
from its guns. II was generally agreed in
polite pirate circles that the white man had
played mean trick upon a successful and
honorable body OF traders-Dundee Adver-
tiser.
