Texas Tommy Returns

Shy about fifteen pounds of flesh, but still wearing the grin that has made him the most popular mem- Der of the house, Tommy Maddock returned this morning after two or three weeks spent at his Hunt county home, sick. This was Mad docks first appearance since the be- ginning of the present irregular ses- sion. It is believed that the great mental strain which accompanied the writing and delivery of his now celebrated speech on the last night of the former session, is what caused Tommy to take to sick bed. .-Ari- zona Democrat.

UNKNOWN MAN MEETS
 A TERRIBLE DEATH

One of the most terrible accidents that ever happened in the local railroad yards occurred last Satur- day night about 1920. As the Santa Fe limited approached the depot an unknown man, who was supposed to be riding either on the blind baggage or rods, was literally ground to pieces under the train. How the acc dent happened will al- ways remain a mystery. No means of Identification were found on or about the remains.
 It is supposed that he attempted to alight and in some way lost his hold His head was severed from his body as smoothly as if done with surgeons knife. One of his legs, from the knee down, was ground to a pulp and his bodyy was severed in twain. The re- mains, which were gathered up, were strewn along the track for some thirty feet or more. It was necessary to use stretcher to gather up the fragments. Those who
 rushed to the scene will never forget the ghastly sight and many wish they had not witnessed it.
 A coroner's jury was immediately impanneled, but nothing leading to the cause of the accident, or who the man was, could be elicited. Undertaken Button buried the re- mains in the local Cemetery,
 He was a man of medium height, about 30 or 35 years old and is sup. gosed to have been working at one Eof the railroad construction camps near Canyon Diablo.

Planting on the Forest

Planting operations on the Tusa- yan national forest for the current year were commenced early during April, on the Grand Canyon dlvis- ion of the forest, where 1900 three year-old western yellow pine seed- lings were set out in strips along the Grand View road, these strips occupying a space where the road traverses the old burn which oc- cured some ten years ago, in which as yet no reproduction has appear ed. In addition to the pine, one hundred juniper trees of the aliga tor bark variety were also set out. This stock was all secured from the Fort Bayard nursery near Silver City, N. M.
 During the past week 5000 pines of the same age have been planted on an area about two miles south of Williams, that was cut over some fifteen years ago. These trees were procured in part from the Fort Bay ard nursery, the remainder being raised at the Fort Valley experiment station near Flagstaff.
 The planting work done by the Williams office of the forest service has in the past proved quite satis- factory, and several plantations now exist which show good results and bear evidence that they will, within a few years, make an excellent showing. It is planned each year to increase the amount of plant ing work until within a short time it is probable that from fifty to one hundred acres will be re-forested every spring.

Another Passenger Train

That the Santa Fe is seriously contemplating putting on passen- ger train that will operate between Albuquerque and Needles, Cal, is the rumor given credence by local men in close touch with the railway situation. The new train, it is said, will leave Albuquerque about s o'clock each morning and do the To- cal work west to Needles. The de- cision to inaugurate the new service is said to follow the action of the Arizona legislature in passing a law compelling railways to stop any train at any station to take on pass engers. -Albuquerque Herald.

CHARLEY HAMILTON'S
 SENTENCE COMPUTED

To save him the loss of his home stead entry, President Wilson on April 25 released Chas. F. Hamil- ton, sentenced in the United States district court at Phoenix October |22, 1912, to ten months in jail for bigamy. Hamilton would lose his claim to an entry in Arkansas un- less he returned to the land before May l. The president commuted the sentence to expire at once.
 Charles F. Hamilton decided on October p of last year in the Unit ed States court in Phoenix that he would not stand trial on a charge of bigamy. Accordingly he withdrew his plea of not guilty to an indict- ment found against him in the spring of 1912, before Arizona be- came state, and entered plea of guilty. He waived time for passing sentence and was given ten months in the county jail at Prescott. He had been in jail since June.
 The indictment was found against Hamilton by the United States grand jury in the spring term of 1912, but he could not be located at that time; but after the adjournment of the term he was found in one of the northern counties and brought back to this jurisdiction.

WITHOUT WATER FOR MONTHS.
sheep In Nebo National Forest Have
Endurance OF CameIs.

Sheep in the Nebo National Forrest,
Utah, go four and one-half months with
out water except for such moisture as
they get from the dew and the juices OF
forage plants. Grazing sheep on a range
entirely destitute of water Is a recent in
rfovation- due to the increasing demane
for forage and the efforts of the forest
officers to find a place on the forest
ranges for all the stock that can safely be
admitted.
The area on the Nebo, which has now
proved usable by sheep. is high and rocky,
a portion OF 1t being above timber line,
and IL has neither springs nor streams OF
sufficient size or accessibility to be used
for stock-raislng purposes.
The grazing season lasts from June ID
to October 81, and during this period the
animals do not get a drink. Under such
conditions, however, the sheep have done
extremely well, and last years lambs
from this range had an average weight
at the close Of the season of sixty-eight
pounds on the Chicago market, which was
rather above the normal weight from that
vicinity.
In one area on the Targhee forest in
Idaho sheep get water only twice during
the four months summer grazing season.
There is no water on the range, but the
sheep are, driven 10 a nearby stream
lower down the mountain side. Lambs
from this range weighed sixty-three
pounds on the Chicago market.

George Stephenson decided in 1874 to try
his hand at making locomotives for Lord
Ravensworth's collieries, where he was
then employed as enginewright Finding
that the locomotive was more economical
than horses power, he was led later to
reflect on the possibility Of extending the
idea to the transport of goods generally
on public railway. He had an oppor-
tunity of urging the adoption Of this
method about ten years later. when his
talents had led to his appointment as
engineer to the Stockton and Darlington
Railway. It was owing almost entirely
to him that the partners in that under
taking obtained Parliamentary powers to
use the locomotive instead OF horses, the
traction power that had been contem-
plated After the public goods locomo-

py LOUIS nELIUs.

Looking through some old newspapers
recently I came across a copy OF the
Daily National Intelligencer Of this city,

ever heard of, and few Of the Older resi-
dents ever saw or knew anything about.
but which was quite a paper In its time
and one which the average citizen of the
period set much store by.
What particularly interested me among
its contents was its theatrical announce
ments. In this day of feverish rush for
novelties and something new, when the
growing taste for vaudeville and moving
pictures has well nigh absorbed the In

Theater on the corner Of Eleventh and

the one on Tenth street, where the great

public attention and forever eclipse Its
dramatic purpose.
To the youth of our time whose passion
for display has reached the limit and who
seeks in amusement, as well as dress, the
utmost that the prevailing fashion In both
can give, the staid and sober announce
ments of well-regulated taste and ra-
tional amusement as then published
would probably sound stale and hfeless,
but to US of past generation, where Is
the heart that does not thrill with pleas
