Thos. Phelps, one of the well
known ranchers and stockmen
living near Springerville, was
the unfortunate victim. Mr..
Phelps was cutting grain with a
self binder. One of his horses
was fretful and he got down

their heads to change their
brides. After removing the
bride from the fretful animal, it
looked back and caught a glimpse
of the reel of the machine, at
which it took fright and COM
menced to plunge, soon being
Joined by the other in an effort
to break away. Mr.. Phelps was
thrown to the ground finally and
the team and machine passed
over him. The sickle bar caught
him and tore his left arm off
about four inches below the
shoulder. The guards ran
through the flesh of his right
arm and piercedhis side. injuring
his ribs, and his left hip and knee
were badly skinned and bruised.
DIR. Bouldin was summoned as
quickly as possible. He amputa-
ted the stump of arm close the
shoulder and attended to the var
ious other injuries of the unfor-
tunate man, leaving him in good
condition. According to last re-
ports he was doing as well as
could be expected.
The team ran into the river with
the binder and stopped, the arm
that was torn of still hanging to
the sickle bar. Mrs. Phelps was
near by when the accident hap
pened and quickly tied a bandage
above the wound, thus saving
her husband from bleeding to
death before the arrival of DR..
Bouldin. Observer.

What's In A Name

The Damn family, of world
fame bids fair to lose It's reknown
by discovery of the He'll family
in the town of Farrell, Pa, built
by the United States Corporal
ion.
Members of the He'll family
are not averse to using their
name in a business way. The
head of the family, Conrad He'll,
an ice cream manufacturer, has
signs reading: Go to He'll for ice
cream!" scattered throughout
the city. Another sign reads:
Ice cream from Hellis guar
anteed pure and cooling"
Still another bears the inscript-
ion,
Have been to He'll? It's the
coolest place in Farrell. "
When a stranger enters Main
street he is startled by a big bill
board reading:
Hell is here; don't miss the
place.
A block further down the street
this sign is encountered;
you will find everybody here
on a hot day; He'll is always open.
The big sign which, however,
attracts most attention is in front
of Hel's place of business. 1t
represents a young couple eating
ice cream and the young woman
saying to her escort:
Hell for mine; always"

Wheat Fields, that a Navajo
singer, a medicine man, was kill
ed by q number of his fellowmen

change seemed to take place. an
other healer, a Navajo squaw
medium, was called. When she
awakened from a trance she in
formed the tribe that the Singer

Struck with this popularity,
Money discarded all the pota-
toes which had eyes and a year
ago last spring planted only the
eyeless tubers. Only a few
sprouts appeared. but Money
kept the weeds down this time.
and when he dug into the ground
last fall he found a big crop of
potatoes.
He has planted nearly all of
the seed again this year, after
discarding the potatoes with
eyes, and believes that this fall
he will have a full crop of mo
tops"
The topless potatoes are slight
ly different in appearance from
the regular tubers, but there is
no difference in the taste. The
crop averages about the same as
potatoes with tops. but the big
advantage in their favor is that
there is no danger to them from
early frosts and insect pests.

SHOWING
AIDED CHANCE
Work of Highlanders Dur
ing Last Month of Season
Caused the Change.

It 1t had not beer for the disastrous
showing made by the Highlandcrs in
the last month of the 1912 race Har-
ry WolvertOn might still be manager
of the club n Frank Chance would
have to spend the 1918 campaign with
his orange blossoms. The streak of
bad luck which hit the Highlanders at
the tail-end of last season was there
fore a blessing in disguise.
Frank Farrell says he did not find
fault with Wolverton's work until the
teams losing streak in September. OF
h last tw%cnty-fonr games the Hill
men played they won three. one of
which was handed to them on the
Hilltop by Clark Griffith. when. after
being assured the Washington team
would finish second. the genial Clark
sent Altrock and Schafer in the box
n 0 a little turn on the slab him
fertngs for a home run with two men
on the bases.
THE awful showing of my club in
the last month OF the season convinced
me that WolvertOn was not OF major
league calibcr." said Farrell recently.

club IN the field than at any other
time in the Wolverton had

"Yct In spite Of this games were
lost with monotonous regularity. and
what got my goat was that the other
teams were using mostly youngsters.
especially in the box. In Detroit they
moppcd us up in an entire series with

cd us with pitchers making their ma
1or league debut. In III game the
Athletics made our hits. and we made
fourteen off Il young pitcher. Crabb.
but they beat us Just the same"
At one time Farrell was dcsirous of
sending Wolverton ton recruits whom
the club had purchased or drafted
from the bushes. Farrell wired nyna.
mite Harry II he wanted these men.
Wolverton wired back he could not
use them at that time. as he had IL
reputation to make. Finally. after the
club lost all chances for q seventh po-
sition berth Wolvcrton consented to
try some of thb youngsters.
