PATTON IS FIRST PASSENGER
 TO MEET DEATH ON "PEAVINE''
Record Without Parallel in History Of Railroading is Shattered By
 Playfulness of Youth

of thc play He called to them and they were about 10 lean ont of the window and admonsh the lad to de. sst when warned by the noise of the preceding car entering upon the bridge. The night was dark and the girls saw the lads figure but dimly. but a sharp noise and the disappear. anee of the figure which had been his was siificient Co reveal that which forced them back in their seats where they remained helpless and speeches. until brought to full re. alization of what had happened by the excited screams of the lad who had seen his companion dragged from the steps by his impact with the heavy side girdcrs of the bridge which resulted in instand death. Conductor MeArdle, who was in the ear ahead, heard the frantic screams of the ex. cited lad above the roar of the train and instinctively realized that some accident had befallen the boys he had SO often warned and brought his train 10 a speedy stop
 When the train had been backed to the north end of the bridge the body of the dead boy was found sus. pended across girder in such n position that a slight push would have caused it to fall into the river below which was greatly swollen by the heavy rains in the mountains to the north. The head and face were mangled almost beyond recognition and tho body was loaded into the baggage ear and taken to Phoenix where the lad who had been with the dead boy and whose name was not learned immediately disappeared and frustrated all attempts of the police to locate him although they sought all night to identify him and were unable to produce him at the inquest.
 The father of the dead lad is an old time resident who conducts a grocery stort at Phoenix as we'll as at Iron Springs and the son was an exemplary youth who was we'll known and popular both in his home town and at Iron Springs where he had been serving as correspondent for the Arizona Republican. His un. timely end will be deplored by all and the sincere sympathy of their many friends is extended to the par. ents in their hour of sadness.

BERRY TRADITIONS
 ARE UPSET BY THOMAS
(From Fridays Daily.)

D. w. Thomas upset all September berry traditions in Yavapai county yesterday by presenting to the Cham. Der of Commerce carton of ripe, luscious blackberries, the finest seen in this market this year. They aver. age over one inch in length and one half inch in diameter. Thomas crop of peaches and Golden plums has been marketed in Prescott without difficulty, proving that carefully graded and scientifically packed fruit raised in Yavapai, needs no advance agent for home market.
 A local merchant was overheard to remark that he would like to buy some of the plums Thomas had yes. terday, but was afraid they would kill the sale of some California plums he had already in stock.

Assistant U. s. Attorney J. C.
 Forest left yesterday for San Carlos, where he will look after the interests of Indian wards of the government, on that reservation, in view of al. legged attempts at absorption of water rights. The Indians are very much aroused over the appropriating of flood waters, stating that their ditehes are running dry in eonse. quence and poor crops will be har. vested if the practice is permitted to continue. The Indians also con. tend that the white race has driven them away from fertile lands, and now want the rain that falls from the heavens, MT. Forest states that he is called to San Carlos in view of the situation demanding his presence i'm. mediately to adjust the difficulty.

lrrom satnrdny,s pailyN


 During more than twcntythrec year, ,n which daily trans have been operated between Ash Fork and Phoenix not one passenger on reg. ular passenger tram ha. ever been injured. This fact. which is of it. self high tribute to the care and efficiency with which the santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix Railway com. pany. sometimes called the "Pea- vine," has been operated. establishes unique record which is without a parallel in the history of railroading.
 That such record should have been broken by the deplorablc acci. dent which resulted in the untmely death of young Walter Patton at Hassayampa bridge Thursday night, as related in yesterdays Journal Miner, is indeed unfortunate, but that the employees of the train on which the young man was riding are blameless is evident by the verdict rendered by the eoroner's jury after an inquest held in Phoenix yesterday exonerating the railway company from all blame.
 The evidence adduced at the in quest showed that on the train which young Patton boarded at Iron Springs were boy companion and two young daughters of w. D. Fulweiler, all of whom were returning from their summer outing. After having been engaged for some time in conversa- tion with the girls, the boys grow restless and began skylarking on the platform and leaning far out over the side talking to the girls whose heads were thrust through the win. dows of the coach. The boys were ordered from the platform three or four different times by Conductor I. McArdle and Brakeman McNeill, who finally took hold of them and led them back into the coach after the train had left wickenburg, and each time the boys were warned of their danger, but as soon as the trainmen had gone about other duties the boys would return to their play. His companion finally desisted but young Patton, who was very tall and agile, not 10 be denied of his sport, thrust his body far out and his head around the corner of the speeding car in an effort to talk to the girls who by this time had grown somewhat tired

QFrom Thursdays Daily,

J. R. Lowry arrived from his min. ing camp on Pine Flat yesterday and Is elated at results of the develop. ment of his property in recent months saying that in addition to a low grade ore being developed, a large tonnage is exposed for treatment at the New Cumberland mill. The ore comes from new point on the group that was recently selected for de. veloplng, and which from the grass roots prove remunerative. The com. ing of the territorial highway to that section, he also speaks of as worthy movement to benefit and assist many miners operating there. The road will be within ane and quarter miles of his camp and not over two miles away from others. The eondi. tion of the district is flattering and many miners are diligently at work.

II. D. Aitken, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce committee on fire insurance, yesterday announced that his committee, which has been working for lower fire insurance rates in Prescott since last January has just received new rate.book securing to insurers within the cor. porate limits, reductions ranging from to 20 per cent.
 These rates are applicable to poll. cies issued subsequent to July I2, and local poliey'holders, having poll. eies so dated, would do we'll to con. suit their insurance broker, as re. bates are due them.
 In the reconstruction of Prescott, private dwellings, pro ratio with the old schedule, receive slightly better ratings than mercantile risks.
 This readjustment of rates places Prescott among cities entitled Co the reduced rates average clause on brick uiHiihNAAbH not enjoyed by cities of anything like the size of Prescott. It is n com. mentary on the cleanliness of the city and the aggressive spirit of its citizenship,
 Thus, insurers carrying from 60 to 20 per cent insurance on their prop. erty will be entitled to further re. duction of from 2 to 30 per cent.
 Three months ago, the Chamber of Commerce committee was able to secure the services of Engineer Weed of the Pacific Coast Board of Fire Underwriters. The effect of his visit was the re'survey which has resulted in tho new schedule just received. Another achievement of the com. mittee was new fire map of Pres. cott, which came to hand some weeks ago.

HANDSOME PEACH
 SPECIMENS ON EXHIBITION

A box of very handsome specimens of peaches from the orchard of Frank Williamson. about three-quarters of a mile west of Ed. Stephens ranch was received by the Chamber of Com. merce Tuesday. This fruit is espeei. ally worthy of mention by reason of its flavor, color, uniform size and texture.
 NIT. Stephens states that these peaches were picked from trees which had received only one irrigation since they were planted and adds that Williamson has fine Bartletts and several varieties of apples ripeniug now which were grown under the same conditions. These will be sent m for exhibition later.
 Eugene Neuman sent to the Cham. Der yesterday some samples of large well'colored peaches. These are from the old Brooks place, of which MT. Neuman is now the ower, about Q miie southwest of Prescott.
 None of the trees on the Neuman place have been irrigated for the past twenty years. From the samples received from MT. Williamson and MT. Neumsn, it would appear that orchards in some part of the county VIII bear normal crops of deciduous fruits without irrigation, at all events after they have put their roots down well into the soil.
 Selected specimens of peaches from these orchards will be preserved and exhibited at the Congress of Inter national Dry Farming, Colorado springs, which will be held October 1920.

RAPID PROGRESS

"apid progress Is being made in surveying the railroad from Cedar "iade to the Verde Valley, where the new shelter of the United Verde copper company is to be located, and twenty-four miles of the line has been permanently staked leaving about fourteen miles more to com piete the work. The contract for construction will, it is said, be let "oout October l, and immediately afterward the work will be started it IS estimated that one year will be required to build the line, the coun' ny being rugged toward the termin' us' calling for very heavy excava' non' Two tunnels will also be nee. essary.

INSURANCE RATES
 IN CITY REDUCED
(From Saturdays Daily)

Further work will 70 on, looking to more reductions on several local risks, where it is hoped physical con. ditions which are holding up the rates, may be remedied by municipal and other necessary regulations.
 Some few increases have been made but great majority of down. town buildings have been reduced, so that the net result will be a con. siderable annual saving to the busi. ness men of Prescott. Provision is. for the first time, made for a still further reduction on the published rates where the owner agrees to keep his property insured up to n certain specified percentage of the value thereof. The rule recently adopted permitting brick, stone and concrete mercantile buildings to be insured for terms longer than one year, at term rates, Is also still in effect.
 The new rates date from July I2, Ieii, and no refunds on account of reduced rates will be paid by the agents on policies before that time except such policies as contain a re. duced rate average clause, that is to say, were written at reduced rates on account of containing n provision that the insured should carry insurance up to specified percent.
