BRAKEMAN STRUCK ON THE HEAD IN
 TUNNEL
Riding on Top of Box Car Through Tunnel No. 5 on A. 6 N. M. R. R. George Anderson is Knock
 ed Unconscious.

George Anderson, a brakeman en- ployed on the A. & N. M. By, run ming from Clifton to Hachita, had a miraculous escape from death on Mnoday evening of this week as the incoming freight train was pass ing through tunnel No. 5.
 As customary as the freight train started down grade towards Clifton Brakeman Anderson was on top of the box cars setting brakes. As the train approached Tunnel No. 5 An derson had mounted a big box car ap- proximately two feet higher than the balance of the train. It was just get ting dark as the train entered the tun- nel and it was impossible to see as Anderson was crouching on the box car he was knocked unconscious by a blow on the top of the head caused by projecting rock in the roof of the tunnel. A piece of the scalp was goughed out and the skull was grazed. Anderson lay on top of the car unconscious as the train made the run to Shelter. When the train arrived at this station Anderson was missed by the remainder of the cfew who instituted a search for him. When found he was still unconscious and a quick run was made to the A c. Co.,, hospital in Clifton. where An derson's body was removed from the top of the car and carried into the hospital where medical assistance was immediately rendered Anderson regained consciousness shortly after wards and as his wound was dressed it became apparent that his skull had not been fractured. He is still con fined to the hospital and will be there for several days yet.That he was not knocked off the box car as the train was passing through the tunnel is miraculous by the train men.

LEG|SLAT ARE. NOT RESTRICTED
 IN GALL
Governor Hunt Gives Members PIent of Latitude as He Places No Limi- tatio Upon Work; Code May Be Considered or 1t May
 Be Put Off.
IS NOW PREPARING HIS
 MESSAGE TO LEGISLATURE.
It Will Contain Mention of Matters Which Governor Believes Should
 Be Considered at This Session.

PHOENIX Jan Ex-Governor Hunt today issued his call for the legislative session to be held Feb ruary 3, and enumerated therein the various subjects of which the solons may treat. It was the desire of the executive, and his call was framed with such in view, that no limitation should be placed on the legislature. All of the subjects he includes in the MT. Patee, the code commissioner, Governor Hunt is desirous of seeing considered by the legislature, but of course such action is not compulsory and some of the subjects may not be touched upon.
 Regarding the code which for some time it was doubtful would be in cIuded in the call, Governor Hunt took the view that no harm would be done in including it for consideration at this time and if the legislature did not care to take the matter up they would not need to. The governor could not be charged with limiting or attempting to limit the scope the legislation at the extra session would take.
 In the list of subjects specially enumerated Governor Hunt is inter- ested and desires some action upon by the solons, which he no doubt will point out and suggest in the message he will transmit to the legislature when they are convened. Most of the special subjects enumerated Cover nor Hunt had called to his attention by urgent requests from citizens of the State, who also urged him to call the legislative session that changes in existing laws might be made or new laws enacted. Another point in call ing the extra session was to secure legislation which would facilitate the work of several of the new depart ments of our state government. The great reason for the session, however was that appropriations might be made for the various state institu- tions.
 In addition to the subjects which are enumerated for the consideration of the code, forty-five in all, the gov ernor made the following specific enumeration.

SNOWFALL FOR DECEMBER,
 1912.

The snowfall in the State was generally much below the aver age for December and somewhat less than that of December, 1911.
 In the Salt and Verde water shed the snow on the mountains on December 31st ranged from a trace to about feet, this being but little less than the average of former years at that date. Tn the Gila watershed the snowfall was heavy in the mountains of the extreme east and southeast ern portions of the state but was generally light and much below normal over the remainder of the watershed. But little snow fell in the Little Colorado drainage area except on the southern di- vide where some stations report amounts in excess of the normal.

SUPERVISORS CASE WILL BE TRIED
 ON MONDAY
M Members of the First Board of Super Visors Leave For Tucson Friday : Morning Where They Will
 Answer to An Indictment
 Found in this County.

In the Superior Court of Pima coun- ty, at Tucson on Monday, February 3, the case of The State of Arizona vs. . J. H. T. Cosper, George Webster and B. F. Billingsley will be tried. The defendants in this case composed the first Board of Supervisors of Green lee County. They were indicted by the Grand Jury of this county in April, 1912, on a felony charge the alleged destruction of public rec ords. When the case was called for trial in October last in this county a motion for a change of venue to Ora ham County was filed by l.. Kearney, attorney for the defendants. h. stead of granting the change of venue to Graham County, as asked for, Su- perior Court Judge Laine, of this county, transferred the case for trial to Pima county.
 What evidence was introduced be- which resulted in the indictment, is not known, but it is reported that the indictment was based upon the al- leged destruction of a certain profile of the wagon road built between York and Duncan last year. The time of the alleged destruction is said to have been the day when the Board of Supervisors went over the newly constructed road for the purpose of inspecting it upon it's completion.
 It is understood here that Senator Eugene $. Ives of Tucson, has been re- tained as special prosecutor of the case in conjunction with District At torney E. V. Horton, of this county.
 J. H. T. Cosper, B. F. Billingsley and George Webster left Clifton Fri day morning for Tucson to be present when the case was called on Monday. Since the finding of the indictment the defendants have been out on bond
