Early Day Scenes Recalled by s. P. Employee Who Was Agent in the sos.

A peep at the past, at the days
 when railroading was rife with TO- nance and danger, is given in let ter from Towerman Ira G. Hoag at Maud Junction, Los Angeles division, to Signal Supervisor R. D. Moore acknowledging receipt of his annual
 pass. MT. Hoag has seen thirty-two years of service with the Company and is still on the job, active and alert.
 There are few among the younger Company men who know of the dan gers and hardships we used to meet with in protecting Company prop eTty," he writes. q had a particularly Interesting time while agent at Lords burg, N. M, in 1SS0-S1-S2-83. Geron- imo and his band of renegade Apaches were raidine tho country ,massacring whites whenever they could lay their
 hands on them. There were four
 Indian outbreaks that I distinctly re-
 member and two battles between the
 Indians and the troops occurred
 within sight of the station. Our waiting room was used as a hospital for the wounded soldiers
 Tn 1882 and 1883 my remittances
 ran from $70,000 to $S7,000 a month
 and during that time three attempts were made to raid the depot by gam blers and other border toughs who 1 ha dbeen ordered to leave the town i by the vigilance committee. I used to take the money out and ride it fire quently, fearing the gang would hold us up during the night. In one day alone my remittance was $15,500 and T spent a sleepless night guarding it , In February, 1883, there were over i two hundred notorious border ruff 1 fans in the town, who had no respect ! for life or property, and they kept our nerves on edge until they were finally driven out."

 The auto party was on the way to the Vallandingham ranch several miles north of Deming when the accident occurred. The flagman at the Gold Avenue crossing Jagged the car which stopped. Directly in front of the auto on the Santa Fe track,was a, string of
 coal cars, stationary. After waiting Ia moment or two, the auto dashed for ward across the track, ,Crichet evident lily believing that he could make the crossing. As the auto passed the string lof stationary coal cars a switch en- zine on the adjoining track jumped out on the terror stricken party just
 as the machine ran onto the track The auto was hit toward the rear and rolled over and over, with ,Ee oc cupants. Valladingham,w who was rid
 ing in the front seat with Crichet was thrown clear and this no doubt saved his life. The other occupants were rolled along with the auto, which was smashed to splinters The

Here Phillips secured per mission to enter the toilet. Locking 1 the door he raised the window in that compartment and dropped to the ground In jumping from the moving train he was thrown violently and sustained severe decorations about his head and body.
 ! A Mexican girl riding on the train l saw the man jump from the window ] and Inspector Miller, realizing what 1 had happened, pulled the bell cord and the train came to a stop and was backed up to the spot where Phillips escaped but no trace of the missing man could be found. The train proceeded to Clifton where the Sher- frs office was notified. Deputies started out to look for the missing man and Deputy Sheriff Holland Bass and Inspector Miller secured horses and hurried to the Phillips ranch Shortly after dark Jesse Phillips put in an appearance and was again placed under arrest. An automobile was sent out Monday morning to bring Phillips to jail where he is awaiting a preliminary hearing.
 When asked why he took such a desperate chance to escape Phillips replied that he wanted to go home and see his folks before being put in jail.

The General Executive Committee representing the men recently on strike in the Clifton-Morenc1-Metc district, desire to extend on behalf of the strikers, to all friends in and out of the State of Arizona, their heart felt thanks and appreciation for the support given them in their hour of need, and trust that a like occur renee will never again become nee essary, and promise that whenever and wherever their assistance is need ed in like manner it shall be freely given
 We herewith file statement of all money received and disbursed up to and including February 2nd, 1916 and beginning on October 18th, 1915, the date upon which MT. F. B. Hooker took charge of the funds:
 Total Receipts ...... $24,114. Is Total Disbursements .. =. $23, ,926 90

 Of the total amount received 97 per -cent went to purchase foodstuffs; 2 per cent to haulage; 1 per cent at torney fees.
 It might be stated that prior to Oct. 18th there had been practically. no aid extended from any source other than credit in the three camps and further that the Miami-Globe dis Itrict donated approximately one-half of the total amount received in cash, besides many boxes of clothing, shoes, etc. Again, Arizona alone can : be credited with three-fourths of the total amount received, showing that Arizona workers and friends have practically financed their. own strike, which is creditable to Arizona, to say the least. It is estimated that there is at least s25,000. % unpaid bills which will later be audited and paid as soon as possible.

 This statement to the public would not be complete without an express sion of friendliness toward all citi- zens of the community. We realize that during the four and one-half months of struggle there has been engendered bitter feelings through the failure of us all to view things alike, but like true men let us once again put our shoulder to the wheels of industry, forgetting past experi tences, determined to try and under. stand each other better in the future to the end that we may bring nearer that day when the Brotherhood of Man will be a reality.
