- ApAiA AlAtA NAlslN lbdllN.l
 Caught in the belting of the en- zine in the ice factory at Camp Yer de few days ago. Fay, the thir- tecnycar-old son of Mir. and Mrs. George Harbcson. had a miraculous escape from being killed outright. ani although severely injured he will recover. His left arm was bad ly fractured at three places. one above the elbow and two below. His nose was broken. also. while on his body are many contusions. Fortunately no internal injuries were suffered, although he was roughly handled for few seconds.
 The accident was due to the play ful pranks of several young people who entered the building and were enjoying themselves in an innocent manner, and without appreciating the dangers that faced them in be- ing in contact with powerful ma chinery in motion.
 Mir Harbeson returned to Pres colt yesterday, to resume his duties on the high school building as al carpenter, very much pleased over the accident not being as serious as first reported.

INNOCENT CHILD IS
 VICTIM OF POISON
(From Thursday's Daily.)


 For the third time in two year, the grim reaper has entered the home of NIr. and Mrs. Charles C. Evans of Kirkland Valley, and their last child of three has been sum moned, in Norman, who was but two and one-half years of age.
 His sad death occurred in this city yesterday morning, and was due to a very unfortunate circum- stance. the taking of arsenic by ac- cident. The boy was playing in the yard on Tuesday afternoon, an l had entered the garage Of his fath- CT. where an old tin can was lyin 3 on the ground partly filled witl the poison in powdered form, whicl had been laid aside over year ago, after being used in doctoring a horse.
 Seeing the boy handling the can and swallowing the powder. Mr Evans was not aware of the danger imminent He picked the child u, in his arms. and carried 1t into the house. Immediately sickness fol- lowed, and it was soon appreciated that the services of physician were needed. Local remedies were ap- piled, but without success. when Mir Evans started for this city in auto. The child was placed in Forrest Sanitarium. but failed tc rally after every care and consid eration had been given.
 Very much sympathy is expressed for Mir. and Mrs. Evans, in the fate that hovers over them, as one by one their loved children have beer torn from their side under condi- tions that are extremely pathetic,

MOHAVE MINES CAUGHT
 IN THE CRASH
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From W edneSdayS Dally.)
 Arrivals from Mohavc county state that it is given out that unless present conditions are remcdicd within the next month. the Tom Reed and Gold Road mines will be compelled to suspend production from lack of supply of cyanide with which to treat the output in their plants. This compound is a necessity at both mines. and it has been supplied for over one year from Germany. the sole manufac- turer. No other source IS available it is reported.
 Leading up to this deplorablc condition is the fact of the big New Jersey manufactory suspcnding pro duction of this article immediately preceding the passing Of the pres ent tariff and when the supply from Germany was landed in the United States the price was far below the cost of manufacturing at home. 9th CT Mohavc producers also will be affected. and in the aggregate it is estimated at least. 500 miners will be thrown out of employment in the gold mines now running in full blast.

BELIEVE ROBBERY THE
 WORK OF A GANG
From Wednesdays Daily.

While details of the bold burglary are meagre at local headquarters. deputies of the sheriff's office arc searching for the daring perpetrat- ors Of the crime in Ash Fork late Monday night, when the Babbitt- Poulson store was broken into and merchandise valued at several hun dred dollars was stolen.
 The theft was discovered within twenty minutes after the break-in. it was yesterday declared. How ever, no explanation is advanced regarding the way in which the bur glars got into the large establish ment CT how the burglary was dis covered. Deputy Sheriff Frank Bartlett was notified at his post in Ash Fork and he immediately got upon the trail of several suspects. Yesterday afternoon, he was joined by one of the deputies dispatched from the local office. Up until last night, no capture was reported.
 The goods stolen included two Colt army revolvers and two Colt automatics. In addition there was taken two other guns, eighteen pieces of silk, tray of rings and three or four watch charms.
 The Ash Fork burglary is in striking similarity to one recently reported at Kingman where the burglars got away with seven or eight rolls Of silk and a number ol revolvers. The officers are inclin- ed to believe that the Babbitt- Poul- son robbery was the work of a gang which has been working along the main line of the Santa Fe rail road. The thieves weakness for silks and guns, ii is declared, may lead to clue.

September ?, 1914.

Mir. W. T. King.
 Deputy County Recorder,
 Prescott, Arizona.
 My Dear Sir:
 You have asked this office for an opinion on the following proposi- tions:
 1. May the Recorder issue the Certificate of Registration" pro- vided for in Chapter ", Title 12 Civil Code of Arizona, 1913. after the Precinct Register has been sent out to the Election Officers?
 7. May voter who is register ed in one precinct vote in another without the Certificate of Registra- tion' above mentioned? $. May a person who has reeis- tered properly in a precinct swear in Ilis vote in that precinct. if for any reason his name does not appear 1pon the precinct register? In answer to the first proposition | have to say: Par. 2913 provides that on demand the Recorder shall issue a Certificate of Registration 10 any voter whose name appears upon the general county register. and who has not cancelled his reg IStration as to a precinct as provid- cd by law, and who is a qualified elector. Failure on the part of the Recorder to issue the certificate to | qualified and duly registered cleo
 or on demand makes the Record r liable to a criminal prosecution. The law also requires (Par. 2qO8) he Recorder to note in both the county and precinct registers the word, certificate issued" together with the date. If the precinct reg lster IS not in the possession of the Recorder this cannot be done How ,ver, this Is no fault of the Record 1T or the electOr. and the latter is untitled to his "Ccrti6 cate of Regis ration in the first instance. The Recorder may make the proper mo- tatlons on the Precinct Register when 1t IS returned to him. In or Ter to save himself from a criminal prosecution the Recorder must is- tue the certificates called for and IS provided in Paragraph 20O3.
 It IS true that this construction nay m some cases defeat the pur- pose of the Registration Act: but he Recorder is not responsible for he law and should not be placed D. a position where his failure to do ! specific act on the ground that louble voting may result from it will subject him to criminal presecu- ion. l, therefore. advise you to ,ssue certificates of registration upon lemand of a qualified elector whose lame appears upon the county reg ster, although you may be unable 10 make the proper notation at the ,ime on the precinct register be- cause 1t IS not m your possession.
 The question involved in the sec ond proposition must be answered in the negative. \ voter may vote 0ut of his precinct only on the Certificate of Registration" me.- toned above. or in certain cases on cancellation certificate. as provid- d in Paragraph 2SS9, Civil Code. 1913.
 In answer to the third proposition have to say that under the pro- visions or Paragraph 5042. where a voter has been properly registered in precinct. and his name does not appear upon the precinct regis Ter, he may swear in his vote by swearing that he has been register ed for 1914
 Trusting that this sufficiently an- Swers your questions. I remain.
 Very truly yours.

SAFETY FIRST is WINNING.

The railroads are making steady
progress with their safety first
propaganda, says the Omaha Bee.
They show up in the interstate com
merce commissions reports with "a
great decrease in the number of col
lisions and derailments'' for the last
period of accounting. Defective road
way and defective equipment together
are held responsible for more than
72.3 per cent OF all the derailments
reported In train accidents only
104 persons were killed in three
months and 2,157 injured, the total
number Of accidents being 1877 fewer
than for the corresponding period the
previous year.
1t would seem from this. that while
the record as whole is commendable
to the railroads, it Is not as much so
as they might make 1t by proper road
way and equipment improvement.
AS a matter OF fact, this leaves 1t
far from satisfactory. The report
does not show how many of these
casualties were due to unprotected or
inadequately protected grade cross
ings, but we imagine the number is
large. The railroads will not be en-
tfrely free from structure So long as
they deliberately refuse to do what
they can to bridge or otherwise for
tify these death traps. And where
they exhaust every civil recourse to
keep from making such improvements,
they must expect continued criticism
They deserve praise for what they
have done. but certainly not for leav.
