DANGER SIGNAL o BE
HOISTED AT COURTHOUSE
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The huge chimney on the south
west corner OF the court house is as
Stunning a dangerous condition, and
yesterday threatened to topple over.
The crevice has widened during the
past week to over FIVE inches at the
top, due possibly to tine rains that
have undermined its foundation, and
the board of supervisors is to take
action to avert what might possibly
be a calamity in the loss of human
life.
That section Of the building is 20
be fenced off, or else the chimney
is to be RACED TO the ground. Pc
destrians travel that section of the
plaza frequently, going and coming,
but hereafter they are to be request
ed to take a new route, in view of
the danger imminent.
This structure was erected over
three years ago as an auxiliary of
the steam heating plant in the base
ment of the building, and a few
months ago it was seen to be leav-
ing its moorings, the crevice at the
top of the second story being over
two inches wide and extending down
20 the foundation. On the east side
of the building a similar detection
exists, and both deplorable facts
were presented to the voters in the
recent bond election as an unans-
werable argument in favor of new
court house, that was carried.
1t seems rather suggestive that
so soon after the election taking
place such a dangerous condition
should have developed, when in re-
ality it has been apparent for
months. The breach in the wall is
now at the danger point, and which
is to be remedied without further
delay.

GRAZING LANDS ASSESS
MENTS DISPUTED
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


Practically all of yesterdays ses-
sion of the tax conference was spent
in dabbling with figures and valua-
tons of relative cattle lands in the
counties of the north and south.
The tax men representing every
nook and corner of the state en-
gagged in a discussion which occu-
pied the attention of the conference
for over five hours and today there
is conceded to be about as much
more enlightment upon the subject
necessary as was advanced yester-
day.
The argument which gave rise to
the lengthy discussion arose during
the examination OF the assessment
abstracts produced by Coconino
county. When the item of cattle
grazing lands was brought under
"the hammer" the representatives
from the southern section of the
state objected to the minimum pro-
portions of the figures upon the
grounds that they failed to equalize
with the higher assessments of the
southern counties. As the discus
sion waxed warm it gradually devel-
oped that the question was all issue in
which the nine southern counties
of the state lined up against the five
northern counties. The representa-
tives of the northern counties CON
tended that the value placed upon
grazing lands was lower because OF
sales just eliminated.
Owing to the delay encountered
in this discussion the conference is
now running along behind schedule
and it is now conceded more than
likely that night sessions will be
needed in order to dispose of all
the work on hand within the sched
uled time of one week.
The assessment rolls of ella and
Graham counties will be taken up
for discussion this morning and the
work will be pushed in the other
counties in Alphabetical order just as
rapidly as possible.
The first OF the hearings to be
given public corporations was held
last night before the conference in
the court house when representa-
tivcs OF the Santa Fe and Pacific
railroad appeared and argued upon
the grant land appraisements in the
five northern counties. Hearings will
also be allotted divers other corpor-
ations as they appear and make the
requests in order.

WITHDRAWAL OF LARGE
ACREAGE ANNOUNCED

PHOENIX. July 29.-As a result
of orders received at the United
States land office from c. NJ. Bruce,
assistant commissioner at Washing
ton, 1,97l.522 acres OF land in Ari-
iona that was designated by the
secretary OF the interior as being
subject to entry under the enlarged
homestead act is withdrawn.
1t was originally believed that
this land was such that irrigation
water could not be obtained in the
usual methods; or, in other words.
1t was only good for scientific dry
farming.
A total OF 200 townships or parts
of townships are involved in the
cancellation, which is one of the
biggest in the history of Arizon1
The land is practically evenly di~
vided between the north and south
base line.

der received at the local land office,

HORSESHOE DAM ON
VERDE TO BE BUILT

PHOENIX, July 29.-Permission
to use the diamond drilling outfit
which the Indian service has stored
at Sacaton for drilling operations
upon the Horseshoe dam site on the
Verde, about so miles northeast OF
Phoenix, was received today at the
reclamation service from Washing
ton.
This outfit was used by the army
engineers on the San Carlos damsite
last summer. In anticipation OF
getting this permission from Wash
ington. the reclamation service had
engaged a driller to make up a
party and take charge OF the opera
tons.
The driller will be here by the end
OF the week, ready to gather up the
outfit and so up to the Horseshoe
site. Survey work will be finished
by the time the drill gang arrives.
The length OF time that it will re-
quire to finish the drilling opera
tons depends entirely upon the
character of the material that the
drillers will strike.
There will be about eight in the
drilling party.

ELECTRIC SHOCK
KILLS PIPE
Filter
INSTANT DEATH MET BY
D. M. RIGGS EMPLOYED
BY THE HUMBOLDT
SHELTER
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


Shocked to death by a powerful
electric voltage was the awful fate
met Monday afternoon by Daliel
Milton Riggs, a pipe filter employed
by the Consolidated Arizona Smelt-
ing company at the pump house on
Chaparral Gulch in Humboldt. A
c0roner's inquest held yesterday
delivered 4 verdict in which the
unfortunate man was declared TO
have come to his death accidentally.
Riggs was working together with
a helper in fitting some pipe when
the electric apparatus was brought
into play. According to the fore
man in charge OF Riggs, he had
warned him not to handle the cleo
trio light attachment by virtue OF
the fact that he, Riggs, was work
ing in over a foot of water. Rigg' :
helper was also warned, declares
the foreman.
Riggs IS declared to have had one
wet hand on one end of the pipe
as he prepared to receive the cleo
trio bulb handed down to him by
his helper with the other. As he
grasped the bulb, he uttered cry
and instantly dropped dead. The
shock was relayed to the helper who
escaped a similar fate by miracle
through the mere fact that he was
upon a ladder instead of in the
water. He had hold of the other
end of the pipe. Just how great
the voltage was which passed
through Riggs body cannot be
learned but it is known that he was
killed instantly.
The cononer's jury rendered the
following verdict after hearing the
evidence of Hendri Blazina and DR..
Vivian:
We, the undersigned jurors find
that Daniel NJ. Riggs came to his
death on July p, 1914 while in the
employ Of the Consolidated Arizona
Smelling company at the pump
house on Chaparral Gluch, Hum
boldt, Yavapai county, state of Ari-
zona and met his death arricedtally
by using an extension light, being
electrocuted after being warned re-
peatedly by his foreman, he CON
tinued to use the light Deceased
was forty-one years old, married
and his remains are taken in charge
by his family.
(Signed) J. E. Bark, r. A. Kins-
man, c. P. Wingfeld, Bert Hall,

BIG LEAGUE GETTING
OLD TIME SNAP
From Wednesdays DaiIy.)


NEW YORK, July 2S.-The two
worlds series contenders of last
year struck their strides in the week
just closed, each playing for the
first time this season at real pen
nant-like clip.
The New York Nationals breezed

OF five games won and none lost.
The Philadelphia Americans went
their old-time rivals one better,
scoring six victories, meeting NJ re

that were pressing them closely less
than a fortnight ago has resulted IN
lead for the Mack men hat the
trailing clubs will find it difficult 10
overcome In the National league,
however, the situation is materially
different.
Playing just about as consistent
ball in the palmiest days OF their
notable past, the Chicago Cubs have
succeeded in keeping the National
League race at pitch OF tense III
terest. In the past two weeks they
have matched the Giants victory for
victory, and even gone a trihe be
yond this The fortnight's record
shows O'Day's men to have won
ten games and lost two, as again t
nine victories and three defeats for
the New Workers. The result OF
the stick-to-itiveness OF the Cubs is
that bare two and one-half games
separate them from the leading
champions.
Bostons' squirt. which carried the
team from the cellar position up to
fourth place within less than a week
has been a notable feature OF the
league race.
Pennant aspirations of several
clubs were further blighted in the
American league play during the

Just exactly by what majority

Monday at the regular session of

There are still number of small

Immediately after the votes and
