CRUEL ACCIDENT
ENDANGERS LIVES
WELL KNOWN YOUNG MEN DE-
POSTED IN CITY DITCH
LAST SUNDAY.
Gallant Conduct of e. G. Barker Avert:
Tragedy and Saves Companions.

! What was intended to be a pleasure
party last Sunday afternoon almost
terminated in a tragedy when four
well known young people of Phoenix,
out for a drive along the canals, were
deposited in the city ditch about two
miles west of the country club on the
Yuma road. The unfortunates who were
given the unexpected plunge have been
somewhat communicative on the
subject since their return from the ex-
cursion but because the truth will out.
the exact details of the affair have
been given out by well informed par
ties who are in position to describe
matters in detail.
The generosity of Mr.. E. ]. Bennitt
was tested early in the day when a
deputation was received asking for the
loan of his two seated rig, with horse
and full equipment. Because the loan
was sought by DR.. f. S. Godfrey and
E. G.. Barker Jr., both well known and
popular young men of the city, Mr..
Bennitt was inclined to grant the plea,
and he accordingly turned his rig over
to the young men who drove through
the city avenues until they reached

accompany them. When all were safe
~ in, and matters comfortably adjust
ed to the satisfaction of all the horse
was guided into the regions Of verdent
fields and orchards, while idyllic con-
versation was carried on touching up
on the ultimate destiny of man, and
concerning the joys which might best
serve to ameliorate his lineliness.
The minds of the four were thrown
out into the limitless space of youth
full speculation, as they drove on, and
ever on, and finally. as the influence
of the lovely day stole over them con-
versation was neglected, and people
ordinarily verbose subsidized into quiet
dreams and mental rhapsodies of all
that really ought to be. but never is.

Mr. Kirkland went to Tempe Satur-
day night, and little after s o'clock
Sunday morning he went to work on
the safe. He found it would be nee
essary to drill it in order TO open it.
There was only one thing that made
him nervous and that was the drill
hole of the robbers, which suggested
that there might be some nitrOgly-
cerine inside that had not been ex-
ploded, and he was not keen to per-
form the functions of a percussion cap,
meanwhile sitting on the lid. However
he figured that a hero can be killed
but once anyway and he has got to be
killed once in order to earn his medal,
so he went at it. He found no gly-
cerine.
AS he drilled away toward the in
side the dust curled out of the hole
much like smoke, but that was evil

which the door was lined and when
he finally got inside he found that
the lining had been literally pounded
into dust by the battering on the safe
door. In the course OF an hour or so
the door was opened and the contents
were found uninjured. 1t was found
also that the door had been cracked
from its step-like edge on the side TO
the top. The combination too was be-
yond repair, so it will be necessary
to get a new door.
One other fact showed the amateur

CYANIDE PLANT
FOR OLD ARIZONA

Unionville, the old county seat of
Humboldt and the first town of any
Importance in the county, which has
been lying dormant for many years, is
taking on signs of life.
The Unionville Mining company,
composed of men with strong finan-
cial backing, recently acquired the old
" Arizona with one of the greatest
records for production of any mine in
the state. Thousands of tons of rich
silver ore are blocked out on the frac-
tion of the property that has been
opened up, and very little work will
be required to take the rock out.
For the past few weeks Supt. Fletch-
er of the company has had force of
men at work constructing new eya-
nide plant, with daily capacity of
100 tons. This will be running by the
18th of June, and it is estimated that
there is enough ore blocked out to keep
the plant in full operation for the next
three years.

YERINGTON WINS OUT
IN COUNTY SEAT FIGHT

Yerington today becomes the seat OF
government for Lyon county, while
DAYTON, which some time ago lost its
other chief industry, the Nevada re.
duction works, will now be compelled
to exist upon the intermittent mining
that is done in the vicinity and the ag
ricultural resources of the nearby re
gion along the Carson river.
Every effort was made by the peo
ple of Dayton to prevent the removal
of the county seat, which was decreed
by the late legislature, but in vain.
The matter was fought out in the
district court and change of venue
was taken to Reno, but in each case
the decision was against Dayton and
an appeal to the supreme court was
of no avail, for on Saturday that court
declared the decisions of the district
court and the act of the legislature to
be valid, giving no further recourse

UNABLE TO MILK
COWS HORSEBACK

Judge NJ S. Bonnifield returned this
morning from Loveloek, where he went
Saturday evening to meet his nephew,
William b. Bonnifield, Jr. The latter
is prominent banker at Ottumwa,
Iowa, and is accompanied on the trip
by his wife and three children.
Some 20 years ago William B. bon
nifield was a partner in the Hill ranch
with Joe Hill, selling out to the latter,
and for several years young Bonnifeld
worked on the place.
At Lovelock Judge Bonnifeld and
the visitors chartered an auto and yes
terday made the tour of the entire
valley. hits was Judge Mes first visit
to the locality for some years and he
was much impressed with the many inn
provements that have been made.
The visitor, also, was somewhat as
tonished to see how the country had
developed during his absence and at
the size of the ranches. compared
with the 80 and 160-acre farms of
the Hawkeye state. Frequent stops
were made during the day, one of
which was at large creamery, which
had been fully equipped to handle a
great amount of milk but had never
been started. The Iowa man was very
curious to learn why the institution
had never been put in operation, and
finally asked man whom they met in
the vicinity, receiving the following
laconic answer to his question:
''Well, II tell you, Mister, That
creamery was never started up because
they can't milk cows on horseback ~

SELLS FLOTO SHOW
WILL SOON BE HERE

Of course, as soon as the warm
weather causes us to forget the dull
monotony of winter we turn to the an.
ticipation of pleasures of the summer
season. First and foremost comes the
circus. 1t is a time honored institu-
tion without which no springtime could
adequately be ushered in. So it is,
that when the agent of the Sells-Floto
circus made his appearance we were
doubly assured that the Morse King
had lost his grip on us.
The Sells-Floto circus will give two
performances here on the 10th day of
May, and it will be the first circus of
the season to arrive.
This show is popular for several
reasons. In the first place it comes
back year after year giving possibly
the cleanest and most edifying per
Torrance of any organization in the
world of the big tents. These people
are the pioneers of the popular priced
idea, having cut the admission fee in
half last season and will continue that
policy this year. Their war cry is "25
cents to see the greatest show on earth
for the money!
They are an Independent corporation
owing aHeSlance TO no circus cohpihe
or trust. Their aim is to give the best
values for the price in the history of
amusements.
Many novel features are promised
for this season. An army of clowns
baby hippopotamus, twin baby ele-
plants, Feoflo Carbo in the most des
perate act ever seen and for the first
time ever produced-that of sliding
head downward on a wire from the
dome of the big tent, and hundred
other acts of the star variety are ad-
vertised.
The Sells Floto people have always
kept faith with the public and it can
Q stated as an absolute fact that the

KIND WORDS FROM
MADAME SARAH BERNHARDI

Sarah Bernhardt who was the guest
of honor at the annual ladies' day re-
ception at the National Press club at
Washington recently, iauded the con
struction of the Panama canal as a
great achievement that "would be a
monument to the energy and grit OF
the American people, She declared
that inasmuch as she had gone to Pan
anna withCount de Lesseps to celebrate
the turning of the first sod for the
canal, she desired to take part in the
celebration in 1915 for the completion
of the great water way, and would
return to America at that time.
Nine Bernhardt was presented to
the club by M. Jusserand, the Franch
ambassador, who characterized her
cas- one of the imperishable glories of
her country"
'9The United States has grown, -
said Nine. Bernhardt in responding,
"snce / first came here, grown in
power and grown in wealth. Your
political and commercial development
has been the wonder of the civilized
world. but / am here to tell you that
they have not outstripped your appre-
citation of things artistic. The more
| appear before the American people
the more I am impressed by their
great love Of things beautiful, by their
true enjoyment of that art which lays
bare the soul of things as they are.
Nowhere have | been inspired to
greater efforts than in this free and
great country; nowhere have | met
with more flattering receptions, and
nowhere have | felt myself better un-
derstood'

GOULD LINES TO
BE DOUBLE-TRACKED

Strongly reinforced by the election
to the Denver & Rio Grande director
ate of f. ID. Adams and E. l.. Marston,
representatives of two of the largest
banking companies of America, the
Gould interests have called confer
ence in New York for this week, at
which it is expected will be financed
the double tracking of the road be-
tween Salt Lake and Denver and the
proposed improvement on the Western
Pacific, at cost of $50,000,000.
Word of the election of these two
additional directors was received from
Denver yesterday. Adams represents
the Duetsch bank, one of the largest
Institutions in the world, commanding
a capital of $400,000000, and Marston
is of Blair & Co., private bankers,
which succeeded Kuhn, Loeb & Co. as
agents of the Missouri Pacific when
George Gould scored his signal victory
over the Hartman interests recently
The acquisition of the capital Of
these men is expected to remove all
doubt as to the ability of the Gould
system to raise the money for its pro-
posed $lO0,0O0,000 worth of double
tracking and improvements throughout
its western lines.
Defeated by Gould.
1t is well known, say local Gould Of
fcials, that Kuhn, Loeb & Co. had
planned to segregate the three main
lines of the Gould system. This pur-
pose has been defeated by George
Gould 8 victory in which he proved
that he was still somewhat master OF
the situation. According to latest re-
ports from Wall street the system
will not be segregated and the control
of the system remains the same as
heretofore with the exception that
Gould has succeeded ins strongly rein.
forcing himself by the acquisition of
Adams and Marston with their almost
unlimited capital.
Failing in their purpose and finding
themselves far from controlling the
situation, Kuhn, Loeb & Co. are said to
have recently sold 1000 shares o.
Missouri Pacific stock, or practically
all of that purchased year ago from
the Pearson interests, and with which
they expected to oust George Gould.
From this it is evident that the Harri-
man interests have abandoned their
attempt, for the present, to control the
Gould roads
Keen Competition Expected.
The result will be the keenest CON-
petition in recent history of western
raliroading, it is believed. With $780,
100000 practically assured for imme-
diate improvements the Gould forces
will compel the Hartman people to
make good N their romise of $75 5,000,-
900 improvements and as result the
west will profit both ways.
Plans for the spending of the first
$50,000,000 include only improvements
on the lines west of Denver. Later, a
like amount will be put into the Mis-.
souri, Pacific, placing the entire sys-
tenn on par with any railroad system
in America. it is claimed.
Local officials are expecting an
nouncement of the beginning of the
double tracking between Salt Lake and
Denver early this year. Large con-
struction gangs are already double
tracking out of Pueblo and it has been
announced that work on the same scale
will be started out of Salt Lake
