RISKS LIFE AND
 SAVES FELLOW WORKMAN

Joseph Luchesi, one of the chief electricians for the Miami Copper company at Globe, put himself in the hero class last Saturday in a camp where deeds of daring are hap pening every day, says the Daily Silver Belt. While directing line work on a 9O-foot pole NIT. Paxon, one of the electricians grasped a live wire with both hands, thus making circuit of himself for 800 volts of electricity. Unable to disengage his hands from this death hold. he would soon have been eleetrOeuted as his eyes were bulging, his tongue was sticking out of his mouth and his face turning black. With a great presence of mind MT. Luehesi at tempted to disengage the rigid hands of the unconscious man from the wire. Failing in this he leaped reek- leSsly from his foot hold to the arm of the apparently doomed man, breaking his hold and preeipitating himself to the ground some forty feet below, where he quickly rose to half break the fall of the insensible man who followed him. Both report ed for duty next morning rather the worse for wear.

BOY IS SHOT AND
 KILLED BY FRIEND

Lloyd .Warnke, fifteen years old
 was added yesterday to the long list
 of victims of the deadly twenty-two
 rifle. He was aeeidently shot and
 killed by his hunting companion, Zearl Franklin of the same age. The
 tragedy took place along the Black
 Canyon road two and a half miles north of the city. The boys left at six o'clock in the morning, each armed with a small rifle. They had bicycle. which they rode by turns.
 Young Franklin described the trage edy. He said that he shot a bird and his companion who was behind him when the shot was fired, ran in front to get the bird. Franklin ejeeted the shell from the gun and that action threw another shell into place, at the same time leaving the gun cooked. At the time of shooting he had one leg thrown over the bar of the bicycle and he didn t change his position or that of the gun dur ing the process of ejeeting the shell. The at fatal moment he lost his balance and his finger touched the trigger.
 He saw his companion fall but he did not realize why. He thought he had slipped but when he did not get up again he went to him and found that he was dead with a bullet hole in the back of his head, at the base of the brain. He hurried to a nearby house to summon help and found G. L. Paxton, who went with him back to the body. c. NJ. Fuqua drove along on his way to church and he was called. MT.

CRACK SHOTS TO
 CONTEST FOR HoNoRS
tFrom Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily)
 Eighteen men of the National Guard of Arizona left Prescott last night in a special ear for Camp Perry Ohio. which comprises the team that will represent the guard at the an. nual shoot of the army and nevy which will begin on August Is. and will be one of the greatest gather. ings of the regular and national guard organizations ever held in the country. Much interest follows the Arizona contingent at this year 's shoot. from the fact that they have been steadily advancing in the past five years, and from the thirty fifth rank. in 1909 went into the twenty fourth in 1910. Over 4.s0O marks men will participate this year, rep resenting the army, navy, marine and national guard services, each in teams of only eighteen men. Major Carl Hayden has been chosen as cap tain, and in their shooting order the team is composed of the following: Lieut.. LaTOurette, Captain COyken- dall. Lieut.. Seeley. Sergeant Collins, Lieut.. Mullen. Major Grimstead, Captain Harris, Captain Hill. Sergt. Fogal, Lieut.. Sigalla, Captain Woolf, Captain LeBaron, Sergt. Lyons, Lieut.. Taylor, Corporal Ochoa and Sergt. Curtis.
 Corporal Brown. one of the crack shots of the regiment, was recently married at Tempe. and few days ago was granted a furlough to visit with his bride before taking the eastern journey. After arriving home, his wife implored him to remain, whereupon he addressed Major Hay den when this officer granted the soldier the favor. Corporal Brown closed his epistle with the following plaintive appeal to his commanding officer: "I love my team, but oh you honeymoon, whereupOn the major eapitulated.

oats, horses. cattle and hogs" Some of the Republican Senators who vot- ed for the Kern compromise deelar- ed that in doing so they had accom- plished that which they had tried to effect by amendments to the reel proeity bill. In any event it appears that the republican senators who op- posed reciprocity are the ones who voted for the free list bill, while the Demo cratic House, which favored reeip- roeity is ready to accept the Senate changes in their own free list bill and pass the same up to the President.
 It is interesting to notice at this time the classification of "regular" Republicans as shown by the vote in the free list bill, and the follow ing are the Republicans who voted against the amendment: Bradley of Kentucky, Brandagee and Mclean of Connecticut, Briggs of New Jersey, Burnham of New Hampshire, Bur ton of Ohio, Clark and Warren of Wyoming, Crane and Lodge of Massa- ehusetts, Cullom and Lorimer of Hin ois, Curtis of Kansas, Guggenheim of Nebraska, Hepburn of Idaho, Lippitt and WetmOre of Rhode Island, Nixon of Nevada, Oliver of Pennsylvania, Page of Vermont, Perkins of Caifor- mia, POindexter of Washington, Rich ardsOn of Delaware, Root of New York, Smith of Michigan, Shoot of Utah and Stephenson of Wisconsin. NIT. PenrOse of Pennsylvania, the leader of the "regulars" did not vote upon the measure because of be- ing paired. Still it is known that he was very much opposed to this free list legislation.
 While the question of being "reg- ular" is indicated in a general way in the analysis of the vote. the rule is not absolute, as there are some notable exceptions in the list, as in the ease of a few senators who are known to have been prompted in their vote in attempts to square themselves in their previous position shown by the Canadian reciprocity matter.
 The bill as passed is a eomprehen- sive free list measure, and if there were any prospects that it would not become law it would undoubtedly create interest throughout the country.

PROSECUTING IS
 STARTED IN NELSON
(From Thursdays DaiIy)

J
 George P. Harrington, general manager of the Nelson Mining com pany, who arrived yesterday from .is camp at Crown King, states that the main shaft has reached a depth of TO feet, and further sinking will be discontinued, the purpose being to begin exploitation of the five veins that appear on the surface by cross cutting to the west. The first vein is now being tapped. As the shaft was being sunk, the east vein was followed for considerable distance, but was left in order that the uni form incline should be maintained to this depth from where development will be continued until the system is explored. Mir. Harrington is pleased with the progress made, and from the ore bodies cut as the shaft was being sunk, and limited work at other points on the surface, is sanguine over developing a desirable property. He states that more work is going on in the Bradshaw mountains at pres ent than at any time in recent years. and the outlook is decidedly eneour- aging for making one of the most productive gold mining districts in the county.
