ANOTHER FATALITY ON
THE TREACHEROUS CURVE

A most deplorable accident oc-
Cured this morning about 10
O'Clock, on the treacherous curve
at mile post 251, when Section
Foreman Antonio Lopez was
run over and killed by the west
bound passenger, third No. 8.
Mr.. Lopez and his men were on
their way to Aztec, a section
about seven miles east of Hol-
brook, when they met train No,
9 on the sharp curve. The in
slant Mr.. Lopez saw the rapidly
approaching train he called to his
men to jump and save themselves
while in the same instant he real
lied the danger of the on
coming train being wrecked by
the handcar and in trying to
throw the car from the track
to prevent a possible disaster, he
heroically gave his own life. The
engineer applied the emergency
brakes and gave the warning
whistle but the tremendous en-
gine was too close and the entire
train passed over his body before
it could be stopped. Mr.. Lopez
has been in the employ of the
Santa Fe company for about q
years and has served as section
foreman for the past 13 years,
and has made Holbrook his home
during that time. where he has
always been a respected citizen.
He is 43 years old. A wife and
eleven children survive to mourn
his tragic death. They have the
sincere sympathy of the entire
community. Funeral services
will be held tomorrow morning
at 10 O'Clock. from the family
residence.

Gulls Save Them

Concentrating the deliver
ance of the early Mormon settlers
from starvation, a monument to
the Salt Lake Sea gulls was un-
yelled in the Temple grounds on
October 1. Grasshoppers threat
ened the destruction of their
crops when fiocks of gulls de-
Youred the insects.
When the lofty granite shaft
was uncovered, a hundred white
gulls were released, soaring a.
round the bronze gull on the
monument. President Smith
and other church dignitaries
participated in the ceremonies.
Smiths address likened the gulls
to Rome's sacred geese. The
monument is the work of Brig
ham Young's grandson. Some
pioneers whose crops were then
saved, witnessed the unveiling.

RANCHERS TRUST SUED
BY The WHOLESALE

While passing through Pres
cott for Phoenix yesterday after
noon. former Governor R. E..
Sloan announced that the beginn-
ing wholesale litigation against
the Ranchers' Trust Company
was instituted in the northern
counties a few days ago by the
legal firm of Sloan, Seabury and
Westervelt, of Phoenix, with
whom would be associated Norris
& Mitchell of this city.
Suits galore have been filed in
the north, in which fifty-seven
notegivers figure, representing a
sum of over $40. 900, subscribed
to the stock. Governor Sloan
stated the appointment of a re-
ceiver is to be asked, and that
the affairs of the company be
wound up on the alleged grounds
of fraud.
He also stated that the ranchers'
outfit was cunningly engineer
ed by get-rich-quick promoters,
in short it was without an equal
in the financial history of the
country as an iniquitcus under
taking in which the generous
cattleman was to be ultimately
stripped of every dollar subscrib-
ed for so called stock in the
widest of financial institutions.
Many note-givers had compi O.
missed to evade litigation by pay
ing as much as 81, 900 on a note
given for 5000. The manipula-
tions of the promoters of the
Ranchers reached a total of near
ly $500, 900 in the five northern
counties of the State. Journal
