RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT.


There was quite a little accident in
the yards of the Santa Fe railroad at
7:10 last Monday evening. caused by
a collision of cars. in which eight
pasaengdrs, riding in the caboose,
were badly shaken up and all more OF
less injured, though not seriously
= The train was a "mixed" one
(Hreight and passengers) which had
just arrived from Widkenburg and
was backing UP on the local switch
to the depot Through a mistake Of
orders the caboose was cut loose from
the train and ran down on its own
momentum, colliding with an oil car
which was standing on this side
track The force of the impact ma
turnlly gave the passengers within
a shocking surprise, mixing them up
thoroughly, knocking some senseless
and rendering others pretty groggy
for a time
The passengers were: Constable
John Roberts of Parker; H. Nyland,
John Ryan, Deputy Sheriff Despair
OF Bouse; L. B. King, a travelling
man of Venice, and four cattlemen.
whose names were not learned.
The most severely injured we're,
Conductor Roberts, Despair, Nyland
and Ryan, the three former being
severely cut and bruised, while the
latter sustained a fracture of the
right shoulder blade. All the others
suffered more or less minor bruises
except Constable Roberts, who passed
Through the ordeal without receiving
even a scratch, his pass probably
saving him.
Agent Fuller received orders from
the company to employ the local
physician and render the best of
care to those injured.
Accidents Of this kind are some
thing very unusual On this division.
Shere being only one other accident
besides this one in the history of the
road through this section.

OFFICIAL TESTS
STATE WELLS
TO BEGIN NEXT MONDAY UNDER
SUPERVISION OF ENGINEER
FROM LAND DEPARTMENT AND
LANES REPRESENTATIV

The official tests of the experiment
aal wells completed to date by the
state OF Arizona in the Colorado
River Indian reservation begins next
Monday, February z. The tests will
be made under the supervision of
A.. IL. Harris, engineer for the state
land department, and C. R. Olberg,
superintendent of irrigation in the
Indian service, the latter represent
ing Secretary Franklin K. Lane.
A preliminary test of well No 2 is
at present in progress. A test run
OF this well made last Friday and
Saturday of twenty-five hours dura-
ton showed an average water supply
OF between sixty-five and seventy
miners inches per second, with a
twenty-five foot draw-down. An
hours run with a twenty4four foot
draw-down showed an average of over
1000 gallons per minute During the
official tests this well is expected to
show upwards of 1000 gallons per
minute On a continuous run of 4S
hours Or more.
After the three wells completed at
this writing have been tested to the
of Mr.. Olberg and the
land departments engineer, date
aometime this month will be set to
celebrate the success of the under
taking, at which time a number of
prominent visitors will be present to
attend the ceremonies and see how
the wells perform under test condi-
tiOns.
An effort will be made to have Gov
ernor Hunt attend, as we'll as State
Land Commissioner Moeur and other
state officials. Hon. Frank Murphy
and General Manager Drake of the
S. F. P. & P. will attend in their
private car. Other officials of the San
Ia Ferailroad have also expressed
their desire to attend.
Wells Nos. / and 3 are now being
prepared for testing, and will be
ready upon completion of the tests
at No. q.
Arrangements are being made for
dhe sinking Of another we'll about
five miles north of LaPaz.
These wells are being sunk by the
state to demonstrate to the interior
that the surplus lands of
the reservation can be economically
reclaimed by pumped water,
The average depth to water is be-
tween IL and 13 feet in the wells
thus far put down. A No. centri-
fugal pump is placed in a pit within
eighteen inches of the water. At No.
3 well the draw-down and lift is
thirty-egiht feet, which is considered
a most economical lift for pumped
water I

the county and that it would encOur-

The schools Of this county have
made much progress during the past
few years. 1t has been a time Of pro-
grcsS in the south and the educational
movement has kept pace and in some
sections have even gone ahead Of ma
teria prosperity We believe that this

the rapid advancement along other
lines. Gao has but TO 80 over. the
