BOY KILLED ON RAIL
Theodore LOvegrOve, Aged 6 Years
Killed at Townsend


Attempting to cross the railroad tracks
in front Of the station at Townsend We'd
nesday afternoon, Theodore Lovegrove,
aged 8 years, son of Edward Logegrove,
of near Smyrna, was struck and instantly
killed by the special train carrying

accident at the time, as he was sleeping
in his car and did not know a stop had
been made.
The accident was witnessed by few
people who were standing on the plat
form at Townsend. Mr.. Bryanss special
train was not scheduled to cpthere. and
the residents had not come out to see

his own age, son of Eugene Saviu, of
Townsend, had been playing about town
and were on their way home. They
went to the station, and alter north
bound train had passed, the two little
fellows started to cross the tracks,
apparently unaware of the special train
which was laundering down the road and
within short distance of them.
Savin got across the tracks in safety.
Lovegrove, however, was less fortunate
and the pilot on the locomotive struck
him. His little body was hurled with
such force that it struck heavy baggage
truck standing on the station platform
and the truck was overturned by the
impact. The boys skull was crushed,
and practically every bone in his body
was broken.
The special was brought to a stop as
quickly as possible and run back to the
station. The train crew and G. P.
Holcomb, of Mr.. Bryan's party, got off to
investigate. After stop of ten minutes,
the train continued. II was sGid mir.
Bryan was sleeping in his car and bad
not been aroused.
Undertaken S. A. Collins, of Townsend,
took charge of the body. He reported
the accident to Coroner Chandler.

4 FINAL APPEAL
 FOR REFORM SCHOOL
Vernon L Clark Addresses Legislature
 On Needs of the Institution.

MT Vernon l.. Clark who for several years has been deeply interested in de linquent or neglected children has ad- dressed the following letter to Sena- tor Wood of this county, relative to the Industrial school
 June 9th. Hon. C. B. Wood,
 Senator from Maricopa County, City. Dear Sir:
 It was with the very greatest regret that I noted in the newspaper reports of the proceedings of the legislature that it lad been recided to take no action at this session upon the ques- tiono the industrial school which is now located at Benson.
 For several years I have been ac- tiveiy interested in this institution and l realize the very important work of which it is capable but under present conditions the work is not. nor can it be done as it should be, the location is bad as bad as could well be selected, the main building poorly constructed and is now unsafe. it's arranement not good and there is every reason for the legislature putting this institution in CpiuillOU u pIOptIlA care TOT lllt DON < and girls that the courts find necessary to commit to it.
 No more important duty rests upon the state than that of trying by every means 10 save the young people who are inclined to go wrong and if pos sible prevent them from becoming criminals; no better humanitarian work than this can be done and from an economical point of view. no better can be 6One for the state.
 I am taking the liberty of writing you this letter to suggest that before adjournment provision be made for changing the location of this school and properly equipping it for doing the work for which it is intended
 If you are waiting to see if congress will allow the use of the Fort Grant reservation, I would suggest that you make the necessary provision for it's removal there in the event of favor able action by congress and also pro- vide that in the event this reservation is not granted by a certain time that another location may be secured.
 I feel that the necessity is so great that there should not be the least de- lay in this matter that can be avoided and hope action viii be taken by this legislature
 Yours respectfully.
