 STRANGE TRACKWALKER
Unidentified Man Found Near Alham- bra-Head is Severed From Body

The body of an unknown man with the head completely severed from the trunk was discovered lying in the water of the canal alongside the Santa Fe railroad tracks south of Alhambra, early Sunday morning He had been run over by one of two north bound trains, which, it is not known. His identity has not been discovered. noth- ing of value as clue being found on his body.
 The man was first found by Mexi- can walking along the tracks. The Mexican at once notified Walter Cross the zanjero who was but a short dis tance away at the time "Hombre, hombre'. said the Mexican pointing to the spot where the dead man lay Come show me- Cross replied. but the Mexican refused and ran at the suggestion. Cross went to the spot saw the body and notified Coroner Johnstone, who with Sheriff Jeff Adams and Deputy William Wilson and John Connors, left at once for the scene
 Examination by the coroner and the officers disclosed that the body lay in the bottom of the ditch where it had been thrown by the striking train.

A Worse Marooned Victim

Miss Bertha Pencil of Globe, who is on her way home where she was to be married on Sunday, is the unfortunate who is in a worse marooned state than any of the Salt River captives. She is here in Phoenix unable to reach her future husband and two days behind the wedding bells.
 Miss Pencil left San Francisco Fri day last, after she had purchased her trousseau, and came by way of the Santa Fe. At Bakersfield the train on which she was travelling passed over the bridge just three minutes before the structure went out. In Barstow she was forced to wait several hours for scheduled train to come over by the Parker cut off, and was finally forced to take stub to Ash Fork and come on to Phoenix by way of the Pea Vine Here she finds that she will be un- able to reach Globe by stage for at least one or two days. The stage from here is off because of the high creeks. especially Fish creek. The trip by way of Hayden or Kelvin is impossible be- cause the Dripping Springs wash is up and has destroyed a good part of the road. And reports in Phoenix that the branch from Bouse to Globe on the Southern Pacific was out in several places, cut off her last avenue of ap- proach to her home and lover.
 T could write long story on the ad- ventures 1 have gone through the past five days" said Miss Pencil last evening. And the adventures are not to be compared with the anxiety I have endured"
 Miss Pencil stated last evening that if they would let her have a horse and start out from Kelvin she would make 1t to Globe, but she has her doubts about being able to get the animal for the trip. T know the country and have been over it before but people don't let out horses for such a trip she said
 According to the advice of friends in the city she has again set the wires burning, and will remain here till she finds that an avenue to the mining city is opened.

Alexander Baker stated that while he had nothing but good wishes for the prosperity and well fare of the Country Club the inter- ests of his own firm must be pro tected.
 Acting on the advice of his phy- Sicians Drs. Craig and BrOWnfield, Mir. Jennings refused to attempt to talk on the subject It is known however, that there was an important meeting Of the Country Club direct ors yesterday afternoon and that last night.
 Mrs. George Tweed and Mrs. Louis H. Chalmers of the play committee stated that the rehearsal was not held because Maitland Davies, who is directing the play, was out of town. They stated further that christopher Jr" would positively be presented next week and that MT Jennings would certainly appear as MT. Glibb, pointing to the fact that tickets for the play were still on sale at the Adams Pharmacy. Goldwaters. the Ford Hotel, the Owl Drug Go. and the Central Drug Co.

FROM THE GRIP
 0F SALT RIVER
Sheriff Adams Rescues a Marooned Family. An other Victim to Whom Official Aid Cannot Be Extended

William O'Harra, his wife and hired man, w. Harmon, who were marooned on an island in the center of the Salt at the point where the Park road crosses the river southeast of the city were rescued yesterday morning when Sheriff Jeff Adams took his life in his hands and swan his horse across to the island whence he carried the men and women out, one at a time. The sherlft was accompanied by another man liV- ing in the Wilson district named O'Connor. while several members of the force stood on the banks of the river ready to lend assistance at any mo- ment.
 The rescue came after the marooned had spent a day and night on the island where O'Harra has farm. When the water began rising early Saturday morning. the family, think ing it would be safe, stayed on the island until it was too late to get away. when they called to man on the bank for help and the sheriff was notified. That was late Sunday evening.
  went to the point and found that the water would have to rise considerably to reach the distressed However, steps were taken to rescue them. After con- siderable trouble a boat was located at the asylum and taken to the spot by motor truck, but it was too dark at l the time to enter the rough and swirl ing water. and as the river had ceased 1 to rise. the marooned were told that | they would be carried off in the morn ing Yesterday morning they were rescued
 1 It seems that the same trouble comes every time there is an unusual rise in | the river. People who have home
 steaded in the center of the river bot 1 tom, thinking that they will be safe in any event, stay at their homes till it l is too late to attempt to cross and then l they set up a cry for help Beside the 1 O'Harras there were several athers,
 none of whom with the exception of
 one family above the Park road cross- | ing have been rescued. Other families 1 who are out in the flood are at the | crossing of Seventh avenue and the | river, and above and below that point. l No calls for help have come from the l other marooned families, but the sher- | iff's office is prepared for immediate
 action if it is learned any are in danger | of being washed away. With a sud- den change in current the sand islands
 on which the prisoners are held are apt | to be carried out of sight in very few moments, and it is to meet this con- | tingency that the sheriffs force are preparing.

occurred but a short time previous to finding the body. The trunk of the body was in no way scratched or scared by the train or by being thrown from the tracks. The skull was com pletely cleaned of brains which lay in the water about the body in pieces as big as the palm of a hand.
 Attempts to identify the man have so far been fruitless On the body at the time of it's discovery were a cheap watch. a pocket knife and a piece of pencil. In one of the breast pockets of the coat there was flask with two drinks of whiskey. In the other breast pocket were the broken remains of an other flask which had been full at the time of the death from the smell of the body which was strong with alcohol.
 The man was apparently about 45 or 90 years of age. from the appearance of his hair which was streaked sandy and grey. He wore overalls and over them corderoy britches. His coat was of the jumper style. He was apparently dressed for travelling or work. but did not have the appearance of a hobo.
 How the accident happened is a mystery. but it is thought by the off cers that the man fell from the steps of a train under the wheels. The appear ance of the crushed head. the lack of bruises on the body, and the fact that the one bottle was crushed while the other was unbrOken. all point to fall.
 Railroad authorities of the Santa Fe did not know who the man was al a late hour last evening though they had been working on the case all day. w. s. Godsworthy, general agent, and George w. Brown. travelling agent, neither knew of the accident till the sheriffs office notified them. A gen eral investigation was then started to find out who the man is. which of the two trains going north hit him, and what other facts they can.

THANK GOD. WE ARE AMERICANS.

tFrom the Philadelphia Public Ledger
OF all the great countries in the
world the United States is the only one
instead of violently destroying wealth
accumulated in the past. 1t is the only
land among those of first magnitude in
which dollar Is safe from the on
slaught of armies and navies.
The United States is much more than
at peace with the world 1t has become
the worlds storekeeRer and the worlds
most coal anl the richest oil fields.
Upon our Southern plantations grow
entire human race. More than half of
all the corn which this summers sun
will turn INFO a golden harvest is
ripening in American fields. Nowhere
else are such stupendous droves of
hogs and herds of cattle.
other lands sell more articles manu-
factured from raw materials. some of
which come from our own country. but
under no other flag are produced for
sale to foreigners so many products
protected by the Stars and Stripes. That
means that nowhere else are the facli-
ties and the implements for creating
new wealth comparable to those in the
United states.
This greatest of all wars leaves alb
solutely untouched and unharmed every
one of this s, eountry,s natural adyan-
port some of these products across the
oceans. but they are by no means vast
ing. They are accumulating for sale
and distribution later on. and the world
must then either buy them or famish.
Overtaxed and semi bankrupt mon
arches now plunge themselves into
deeper morass of debt. They are ac-
tually destroying tens of millions of
their own wealth every day. These
war torn lands, after the strife is over,
will not only stagger under their back
breaking debts. but will at once begin
to nurse new armies and navies for re-
venge at some future day.
Thus every European Power now at
war will have to tax every dollar more
heavily than 1t ever has been taxed BY
comparison this new burden will make
the United States shine forth as the
one safe asylum for capital as well as
for human beings
Foreign money must. therefore, seek
American investment, not only because
here 1t will earn the most, but because
here 1t will find the only lasting refuge
from the hazards OF an engulflng war

i thought is the perpetual popu-
larity of the Grangers' Picnic at
Williams Grove. Year in and year out
it draws it's thousands with undimin-
ished interest and enthusiasm. Peo-
pie come hundreds of miles to see
the threshers thresh, the mowers
NOW and the barkers bark About
the only explanation is that the public
likes crowds, that 1t is fond of fairs
and expositions and that the exposi-
ton manager who best appeals to the
whims and interests of the people is
sure of getting big crowds whenever
he throws open his gates.
The same is true of the county
fair. Many of them have little to
offer that those who attend have not
seen a score of times before. Still
they give up day or two of their time
and much of their hard earned money
to be in the throng that isA part and
parcel of the yearly attractions.
The American public likes its enter
tainment on large scale and 1t finds
much enjoyment in big crowds. There
fore it is with but little alarm that
the Panama American Exposition is
looking forward to next year, with
half the world at war. The eXposi-
ton is to be so large and so novel that
those who are at it's head figure. that
sufficient Americans will attend 10
make it profitable.
