HURT At RACES
TUESDAY AFTERNOON

Joe otter, of Clayton, Kansas, was
quite seriously hurt at the fair
grounds race track shortly after 2
o'clock this afternoon while assisting
Miss Daisy McDermott, of Jennings,
Kansas, to get her machine in condi-
ton for the ladies' motorcycle race,
of which she was one of the entrants
otter and Miss McDermott had rid
den double on a Wagner" since the
club members started from Rexford
week ago this morning and he was
anxious to have her win the race If
possible. The motor machine she was
going to ride had not been working
properly and Otter was endeavoring
to remedy the trouble when the ac-
cident took place. Everything had
been put in "ship-shape" and otter
was just rising to his feet after COM
pleting the examination of the ma
chine when somebody. unable to stop
his motor as quickly as he had in
tended, ran into him with great force
Otter was thrown heavily to the
ground and one Of his ankles badly
sprained in addition to which he re-
ceived some painful bruises about the
body. An investigation showed that
no bones were broken. although It is
little short Of the miraculous that he
escaped without II. The unfortunate
young man, who was unable to walk
as result of his injuries. was brought
to town In a carriage and taken to
the Graves hospital for treatment.
His recovery is likely to be a little
slow and 1t is probable that he will
be compelled to abandon his cher
ished motorcycle for few weeks at
least and return home by rail. Otter
was favorite among the members
of the motorcycle association and
regret over the mishap that has be-
fallen him is universal

RINKER'S INJURIES OF A
VERY PAINFUL CHARACTER

His right ankle so badly fractured
that the bones cannot be set by the
attending physicians, E. 7. Rinker, of
this city, is in the hospital at Salida,
suffering from the effects of his ex
periences when ne encountered a
cloudburst in the Royal Gorge west of
Canon City. Rinker is Rio Grande
passenger fireman, and sustained his
injuries last Friday afternoon when
his train encountered a food, and he
jumped from the engine when he
thought his life was in danger.
The Rio Grande passenger train
met flood caused by a cloudburst on
Friday afternoon. Engineer Hartman
was the first to see the torrent of water
rushing down the river upon the en-
gine and he called to his fireman to
jump for his life. Rinker, who was
busy feeding the furnace, heard the
rushing waters, and not knowing what
sort of danger he was facing, he
ieaped from the engine, alighting upon
the rocks at the side of the track.
For six hours the train was stalled,
and Rinker. suffering excruciating
pain from his fractured ankle, and
soaked to the skin by the flood and
rain, remained at the side of tne track
where he had crawled upon some
rocks almost unconscious from his in
juries and exposure. He was then
taken to Salida and placed in hos
pital in that city. He was suffering
from fever and it has been reported
that his condition now is critical.
The nature of Rinker's injuries
makes reducing the fracture impos-
sible at this time, and the fireman has
heen driven to a frenzy Of pair
from his suffering. His wife. thinking
that he had been taken to Canon City,
went to that city in search for him.
but later succeeded in finding out
that her husband was in Salida. She
returned to Pueblo yesterday and
will go to Salida today to be with
her husband.-Pueblo Chleftain.

STATEHOOD
NETOEDBY
Taft
Objects to Provision
for Recall of the
Judiciary. -. -
(By United Press.)

Washington, August 15.-President
Taft this afternoon sent to congress
message vetoing the resolution ad-
mitting New Mexico and Arizona to
statehood.
He based his objection on the pro-
vision of the Arizona constitution
making the judiciary subject to re-
call.
The message said in part: This
recall provision in its application to
judges seems to me SO pernicious in
its effect, so destructive to the in
dependence of the judiciary. so likely
to subject the rights OF the individual
to the possible tyranny by a popu-
lar majority, that l must disapprove
of a constitution containing IT.
Judges must decide questions acord-
ing to law and justice and must have
the courage to decide against the ma
jority when justice requires. Could
there be a SYSTEM more iugeniously
devised to subject judges TO momen-
tary gusts of popular passion than
the Arizona system? What kind OF
judgment might those on the popu-
lar side expect from a court whose
judges must make decisions under
such legalized trrorism? the char
acter of judges would deteriorate
to that of trimmers, time servers and
Independent judiciary action would
become a thing of the past"

ENJOYING
SIGHTS
Visit Top of Royal
Gorge his Morn
ing---Race Gard.

The members of the Kansas Short
Grass Motorcycle association and
their friends are enjoying their stay
in Canon City to the utmost and will
carry away a pleasing and lasting
memory of their stay here. They are
out for a good time and are certainly
having it. There is hardly nook
or corner in the community they
have not penetrated during the last
few days and the geography Of the
town and its surroundings is to them
as an open book.
This morning most of them rode
their machines as far as possible up
into the Royal Gorge, where they
parked" them while they made the
trip afoot to the Hanging bridge, a
couple of miles further on. At the
Hanging bridge the visitors climbed
the walls of the canon to greet some
of their friends who had made the
trip to the top in automobiles over
the public highway. After enjoying
the view from the rim of the canon
for an hour or more the motorcyclists
descended into the gorge and walked
down the railroad track to the place
hoI 1aFt onhfnn
making the run back to their hotel
in time for dinner.
One of the big events in connection
with their visit to Canon City was
the races at the fair grounds this
afternoon; which were planned and
carried out under the auspices of
the Fremont County Riding and Driv-
ing club Prizes were given by the
merchants for competition among the
visitors and some excellent sport was
witnessed. There was motorcycle
racing for both men and women of
the party and some very creditable
records were made by the contest
ants.
The entertainment at the fair
grounds included a few trotting and
pacing stunts" by local horses, in
addition to the racing program given
by the visitors, and was much enjoy
ed. There was large crowd of peo-
pie in attendance and the affair was
in every way the success it's promoters
had hoped it would be. The motor
bike men and their companions on the
trip will be the guests of Warden Ty-
nan tomorrow morning while making
an inspection of the penitentiary. To-
morrow afternoon they will leave for
Colorado Springs on their return to
the Sunflower state.

Mrs. A. Sutherland was quite
sick the latter part Of last and
the first part of this week. She
is much better at this time.
The fall rains have made the
grass renew it's verdant green
ness and has sprouted the winter
wheat in fine shape. Another Of
the life giving rains came last
Sunday night aud all day Mon
day the downpour was something
great. With the grain already
in the ground being thoroughly
soaked and the ground which has
yet to be seeded filled with rain,
there is nothing dismal in the
outlook for the Mission valley
next year.
Otto c. Strom, secretary to
United States Senator A. ].
Gronna of North Dakota, arrived
in Roman yesterday for a visit
over Sunday with his old friend
liver M. Boandjord. Mr.. Strom
made the Pioneer a call and it
developed during the visit that
he is a warm admirer and ardent
supporter of Senator LaFollette
for the presidency. He says that
North Dakota will hold a primary
election at which a preference
for president will be voted upon,
in March next and that North
Dakota will be for LaF'ollette is
certain.
w. S. Herman. travelling
freight and passenger agent Of
the Great Northern railway at
Helena, made a hurried trip to
Roman again this week. He said
his stay was necessarily short
this time by reason Of a prior ap-
pointment at Kalispell but that
he would be back again in a
week or so to look the country
over again. It may not amount
to anything but the way the
Great Northern is keeping tab
on Roman and the Mission valley
it would not surprise some Of US
much if that road did not beat
both Missoula and Kalispell to it
and build a road before they
awaken to the fact that some
thing has gotten away from
them.

he has come back to stay. Jim
says he has been in IS states
since going on the road as travel

while away to compare with Ro-

that crops are better here, the
weather finer, everybody doing
better than any place he visited.
We are glad to have him back
and pleased to know that Roman
is the best place on earth to live.
S. G. Irish who bought the AL
lard ranch northeast of Roman,
was in town the other day and
while here told a pretty good
story. 1t seems that Mr.. Irish
lately came from Canada and
that he left some brother-in-laws
up there whom he has hopes of
inducing to come here also. Lately
he returned to his old home in
the northwest and while there
must have been extolling the
good points of the Flathead, as
he says they tell him now they
will soon be down and will locate
here, if he has not been lying to
them." It's a certain fact they
will stay.
