his search for ice in the semi
darkness fell in the tank of scald
ing hot water used tor dipping
the ice tanks.
Cries for help brought assist
ance to the man but the scalding
hot water got in it's work before
the clothes could be removed
from the body. From his waist
line down the skin and flesh was
scalded raw, down to his foot
soles, burning every inch Of the
flesh. The skin virtually peeled
off with his underwear when the
same was removed.
The injured man was taken in
charge by the local Santa Fe
surgeon Dr.. Oscar S. Brown,
and was by him taken to the
Santa Fe hospital in Los Ange-
les on an early train. What the
outcome of the severe scalding
will be is hard to tell and the
physicians say that it will be at
least ten days before indications
for better or for worse will show
Mr.. Mellus has been in the
Santa Fe service here for at least
two years and has wife and a
boy of ten in this city.

TATION DAMAGED

Two suits against the Santa
Fe Railroad company, each for
$4,000 damages. reached the
city today, having been trans
ferred from the superior court OF
Navajo county to the United
States district court.
The Plaintiffs in each are Ollie
Glaze and Thomas Votoe. They
alleged that they were falsly i'm
prisoned by the railroad com
pany at Winslow on December
5, 1911, and that they spent
several months behind the bars.
Their prison sentences, it is al
legged. have caused their good
names to be damaged. They
claim they were "trappers OF
wild animals" and that their
Jail sentences caused them to
lose their jobs.
It is said that the two men
were en- route west from Kan
sas, and that they refused to pay
their fares; that when the audit
or on the train approached them
they pulled out guns and threa
ened him. At Winslow, it is
claimed, they were put off the
train and jailed by Santa Fe Off
cials.-Phoenix Gazette.

The Texas Kids

Morris Sheppard is to succeed
Joseph w. Bailey in the Senate
And he is but thirty-seven years
of age, though he has already
served ten years in the House.
Mr.. Bailey was but two years
older when he come to the Sen.
ate. and though he retires under
fifty he is a veteran statesman
and more than that he is classed
as one of the ablest men the
South has sent to the Senate
since the war. Sheppard has
stood the ten year test which
Texas exacted from Bailey, and
he measures up to the high
standards imposed by the Lone
Star State, AS an orator he is
considered quite equal to Bailey,
though his manner is entirely
different. Bailey has been a veri.
table warrior, and in his early
days would~q"6ght at the drop
of a hat.'' Sheppard is mild
hammered, srckly looking, but he
possesses dynamic force that
has won in his service IN the
House, and while Bailey is a
hard pacemaker to follow, yet
Washington confidently expects
that the new Senator will make
good.

BIG DEMAND FOR
OFFICE HELP

Never before in the history of
the southwest have there been
SO many and such lucrative po-
sitions open to those trained for
business, as today. And the new
era OF business prosperity now
at hand is certain to produce an
even greater demand.
The Albuquerque Business Col.
lege finds it impossible to supply
the calls that it is receiving from
prominent business firms, con-
lition due, principally, to the
fact that this institution has a
reputation for turning out the
very best help that can be pro
cured, its graduates even being
preferred to most experienced
office assistants. Its recommen-
lation is conclusive evidence of
competency. Every call offers
from $50 to 500 month, with
splendid chances for promotion.
Enter September 9, devote a
few months to persistent study,
and you, also, will be- qualified
to enter the great, busy, COM
mercial world, overhowing with
such unlimited opportunities.

:Khedive of Egypt Coaxes Former
Ola Humphrey, of Oakland, CAL,
Not to Return to Stage.

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE Khedive of
Egypt, when passing through Paris
incognito on his way to Berlin. called
upon the Princess Ibrehim Hassan. for
merly Ola Humphrey, Of Oakland. Cal.
and made a supreme effort to prevent
her from returning TO the stage. The
Khedive's interest in the situation is
that the princess husband Is his first
cousin
As she has been incorporated into
the royal family of Egypt. the Khedive
informed her that IL would be a dis
grace to his house were she to return
to the stage. no matter what her talent
may be. The Khedive also impressed
upon her that she Is the only America n
royal princess in the world. and reached
a climax when he pointed out to the
California girl that she is in line for
the throne Of Cleopatra. The last ar
Rument staggered the Californian, who
asked time to consider. and also i'm
posed as conditions that she should not
be compelled to live like an Oriental
woman; that she be given a palace of
her own In London and Paris, As well
as in Egypt.
The request will probably be grant
ed, as Prince Hassan. who is now In
Constantinople taking active part in
