One Killed, Two Injured.

From the Coconino Sun we
take the following account of an
accident which occurred last
week near the lumber camp a
few miles east of Flagstaff:
John Henry, night watchman
on the steam loader at the Green
law logging camp, Bob Babbick
who had just been engaged as
camp cook and Al Larson, a
brakeman on the logging train,
were struck by a freight train
just east OF Cliff station near the
Big Fill Monday night between
9 and 10 o'clock.
Henry died short time after
being taken to the Milton hospi-
tai at about IL o'clock; Babbick
was badly cut and bruised, with
several ribs broken and possible
internal injuries. Larson was
cut about the head and was
injured in the abdomen by being
thrown from the track. He was
conscious and in his injured con-
dition made his way back to the
Greenlaw mill to report the ac-
cident.
Henry and Babbick were
brought in on a freight train and
Larsen was brought to the hos
pital in a buggy arriving an hour
before the others arrived.
Larson was so badly dazed and
shaken by the accident that he
was unable to give any account
of the accident except that a
freight train struck them as they
stepped out of the way of the
limited. They had gone'to Cliffs
on No. 10 leaving here at 8:15,
arriving at Cliffs they started
down the track for the logging
camp which is about three miles
east of Cliffs station. The ac-
cident happened at what is
known as the Big Fill about half
way to the logging camp.

In street in Richmond stood Aunt
Emily, with her hat askew upon her
woolly old white head, and a large and
vicious-looking cobblestone in one
hand. She had every appearance Of a
staid colored nanny Of the antebel-
lum strain, who had determined to
break somebody's jaw and was about
to begin the assault Amid wagons,
taxicabs, traffic of all sorts dashing
madly at auntie from all sides, she
held her ground valiantly, evidently
determined not to fire that rock until
she saw the whites of her enemies
eyes.
While thus engaged, and while the
fire shot from her outraged eyes, gen
tleman drew up to the curb in finely
equipped roadster and called out to
her:
What in the name of common sense
are you doing there, auntie?"
To which the belligerent one re-
piled:

We take the following account

who was known to many of our
people, from the Prescott Journal
Miner. Deceased was a sister of
Mrs. w. S. Bennett, of our city,
and a sister-in-law of Mrs.
Herbert Taylor also a local re-
sident:
Mrs. Robert Brown, for many
years a resident of this city, pass
ed away on Saturday morning
at 3 o'clock at her home on East
Goodwin street, after an illness
of less than two days. The
deceased enjoyed a good name in
this community, and she will be
remembered as the widow of a
former district attorney of this
county whose death ocurred
many years ago. Surviving are
her two sons, Robert and Thomas
Brown, who were present when

this car and I'll drive you home"
Auntie pondered for moment be-
fore replying:
"Ah nevah road in one dose contrap-
tions.'
"Ill take care of you. Hurry up
now"
So auntie gathered her voluminous
skirts, and with many evident nisgiv-
ings took her seat in a racing road
car that could touch ninety miles an
hour and never feel the strain. She
clung to the seat tightly as the car
started off, and hung on for dear life
as it swung a corner She grabbed
"Mistah John" by the arm in her fright
and begged him to let her out as they
threaded neatly through the crowded
Richmond thoroughfares.
She was in utter and abject misery
from fear and the tears rolled down
her cheeks.
But Mistah John took to the straight
road soon and set forth for the sub
urbs. The way was clear and he let
out a few links in the engine and the
engine hummed like a bee and sailed
down the path like a bird. Auntie
began to feel like she was flying, and
her fear gave way to a sensation of
grand delight, and by the time she
had gone ten miles she was singing
softly to herself and settled back on
the seat like an oldtime racer.
"Ratch-atch-atch atch" went the
raucous horn Notice they don't say
'honk, honk" any more).
what you do dat fo Mistah John?"
asked auntie.
II wanted to warn the colored boy
to get out of the way"
And then auntie replied.
"Shucks, Mistah John, jes' yo' run
ovah dat fool niggah What right he
got in de way nohow?"
Which goes to show, as Winfield Lar
ner says, that practically everything
depends on the point Of view.

Systematic Saving Plan.

Owing to the growing popular
ity of various kinds of savings
clubs and the success they have
proven elsewhere, the Navajo
Apache Bank and Trust Co. has
instituted systematic saving
plan to which it invites attention.
In order to encourage partici-
pants in this plan the bank will
give the first dollar to deposit,
after which the customer will de-
posit one dollar per week for for
ty-nine consecutive weeks, which
payments will be registered in a
neat book made for the purpose,
and at the expiration.of the term
the book becomes an interest
bearing $50 Gold Bond, or the
depositor may draw $50 in gold.
The same plan has been work.
ed out successfully in other
places under various names, such
as Christmas saving clubs, vaca-
tion savings accounts, and last
year many people participated in
just such schemes to save for
their trip to the P. P. |. exposi-
ton. But whatever name is CIV
en- to the scheme the result is
the same. 1t creates the saving
habit. The bank starts the ac-
count with a gift dollar, then the
depositor places another dollar to
the credit of his certificate and
in forty-nine weeks it is done.
You have $50, either to draw in
terest for you at the rate of 5
per cent per annum, for your
trip, for Christmas gifts, or any
other purpose for which you may
care to use it.
1t is not hard to save a dollar
or two each week, and $50 or
S100 saved out of ones loose
change or pin money each year
is very handsome amount.
You are invited to investigate
this plan, and the Navajo-Apa-
che Bank and Trust Co. has S100
to give away in starting these
accounts.

According to the Holbrook
News H. G. Palmer, a capitalist
and a railroad builder from Chi
cago, has been at the county seat
several days in consultation with
local business men over the pro-
ject of building the proposed
railroad from Holbrook into the
Snowflake country. Two years
ago the survey was run, and
right of way signed up, and then
the whole thing was put to sleep
from lack of financial backing.
| Mr.. Palmer is now looking over
the proposition, and if he can be
convinced that the project is a
feasible one his company may
undertake it's construction. 1t is
the theory Of the local promoters
that if the road is constructed it
will be taken over and operated
by the Santa Fe.
