Herman staggered Williams against the ropes in the eighth round with vicious right hook to the jaw In the twelfth round the first blood was drawn, Williams bleeding from the mouth as the result of a right cross from Herman. Herman appeared some what unsteady when he went to his corner in the eleventh round.
 During the 18th and 20th rounds each tried hard for knockout. but Herman appeared to have the advan- ta5e in both periods. They were fight ing saVaGely when the final bell rang. Eight rounds were credited to each fighter, with four even.

TENSION
 WIRES BADLY
 SC0RCH YOUTH

A flash of flames and the sight of a body falling through the air attracted the attention of a nurse at the County Tubercuar Hospital late Sunday after noon. She gave an alarm and those who hurried to the spot found the un- conscious form of Francis Patton, the
 eighteen year-o!d son of MT. and Mrs.
 F. H. Patton, ranchers, who are en-
 camped on the desert near the hospital lying on the ground near one of the iron standards carrying the high pow CT transmission wires of the reclama- tion service. Such of his clothing as had not been burned from his body was
 still smoking while portions of his face, hands, arms and body particular
 ly over the abdomen, were badly
 scorched
 When it was found that Young Pat
 ton was still alive he was carried to
 the hospital, and Dr. F. A. Stafford
 summoned from the Desert Inn. He found that besides having sustained q heavy electrical shock and severe burns he was also badly bruised by his
 twenty foot fall from the pole The
 physician succeeded in restoring the
 youth to consciousness and when he left him gave it as his opinion that he would recover. Last evening the young
 man was reported as resting easily. Young Patton and his parents had been living at Acre City until short time ago when they went out to the desert about five miles east of this city. They encamped there a short distance from the Tempe road. They had sev cral cows which they permitted to graze in that vicinity. The boy was sent for the cattle Sunday evening and fail ing to find them climbed the iron pole ! hoping thereby to obtain a sight of them. He says he did not climb up to the wires, but it is believed that his i hat, about which was a metal band
 came in contact with one of the wires. That he was not instantly killed and also that no bones were broken by his fall, is considered little short of mi
 raculOuS.

BUSY SESSION 0F GOVERNORS
 OF WATER USERS
Actior Taken Relative to
 Abandonment of Salt
 River. Canal. An Adver- Using Proposition Deftly Shlrnted to Another Track

Though yesterdays session of the board of governors of the Water Users Association was largely con- sumed with the consideration of the report of the central cost review board, it was preceded by the dispo- sition of several more or less routine matters. There was laid before the board resolution adopted by the city commission in the matter of the elimination of the Salt River Valley Canal The resolution asked that the engineer of the association and an engineer of the reclamation ser vice, at the expense of the city. join with the city engineer in an inquiry into the feasibility of the abandon ment of the cana and the bringing ment of the canal and the bringing als by the way of the Maricopa canal The feasibility of the pro- iect will depend upon whether the waters from the jointhead can be brought into the MaricOpa. The board granted the request of the commission without committing itself to further action than the making of the investigation.
 A communication was received from C. J. Blanchard. statistician of the reclamation service directing at tention to an advertising project set on foot by the Chicago Herald. The advertisement will consist of a part of the display at Chicago of the
 
 sition. There will be a moving pie ture feature shown in 400 towns and there will he reading notices in the Chicago Herald. The board disposed of this matter by the convenient pro- cess of referring it to the Chamber of Commerce.
 The matter of restoring the status of the g, GOO acres excluded from the Salt River project by the board of survey was brought up in a resolu ton presented by H. B. Wilkinson of the Dry Lands committee, calling up on the secretary of the interior not to declare the project open until permanent water had been assigned to all the lands under the project. Judge Kibbey objected to the form of the resolution which he thought did not quite express the wishes of the farmers. The secretary, he said, might act favorably on the resolution in such a way as to astOund the water users. He might at once make the assignment and then declare the project open. thing which now no one especially desires. Judge Kibbey was further opposed to the adoption of resolutions by the board at this critical stage The wishes of the dry land people were partially met how ever by an agreement to place on the minutes of the board a statement in tended to offset the action of the board in approving the report of tho survey board.
 The secretary of the association was directed to prepare and publisl the election notice of the board.

Respectfully submitted,
Consul of the Salt River Vale
 Water Users Association.

That the conclusions of the recla nation commission are contrary to the purpose for which the cost re- view boards were appointed by Sec retary Lane is shown by the follow ing extracts. from a letter to the various projects in January, 1914, in which among other matters he dis cussed the cost of the projects. He said: With the admission that the past conduct of affairs has not been unqualifiedly without error, and that future policies are subject to correction when found erroneous, think we may fairly proceed upon common ground to reason together to the end that we may now agree as to what, in the light of present knowledge. appears to he just and equitable as between you and the government.
