B. F. Thumn, Injured
by Exploding Cur,

B. F. Thumm, who formerly
resided here and now a resident
of Florence, met with a serious
accident while quail hunting, ac-
cording to the following account
in the Florence Blade Tribune:
Last Sunday morning, De-
cember I'd, B. F. Thumm met
with an unfortunate accident
while hunting quail. Messrs.

E. o. Devine. with their families

After several birds had been
killed by Mr.. Thumm, and while
in the act of firing at a flying
quail, the left hand barrel of his
shotgun exploded just at the end
of the cartridge and the wood
portion of the gun under the
barrels was blown through his
left forearm, tearing fearful
hole.
Mr.. Price was nearby and
hearing MIR. Thumm's call for
help, went to his assistance. A
ligature was Immediately put on
the arm to staunch the flow of
blood and the injured man was
then taken to the Shannon home
near by, and Mr.. Price made a
record run to Florence for DIR.

GOES OVER THE TOP
Savage Grip Treads on First
Auto to Reach Rim of
Zion Canyon

Seventy miles through virgin
forests; a climb of 5000 feet in
five miles; over razor-edge bould-
ers; through mountain washes;
across saw-tooth ridges; on prim-
tive roads covered with shales
and small stones; with wheels
spinning almost continuously for
lack of traction; from San Diego
to the rim of Zion Canyon, Utah,
then back to Los Angeles-that
is the record of the bort Globe
Trotter, equipped with four Saw
age Grip Tread Tires. The tires
were worn down to the fabric
and the treads were cut to rib
bons, but the Savage stood the
gaff and reached Los Angeles on
the return trip with the original
air in them.
The performance of the bort
car in making this strenuous trip
without serious trouble is re-
markable; so remarkable in fact
that after the car completed the
trip, it was placed on exhibition
at the Los Angeles Auto Show
and motion pictures made on the
trip are now being shown in all
of the principal California The
aires.
The performance of the Saw
age Grip Tread tires is also re-
markable. l.. j. Burrud, who
made the trip for the bort peo-
pie, to express his appreciation
of the excellent satisfaction the
tires gave. wrote the letter, from
which the excerpts are given be-
low, to Mr.. Claus Spreckels,
Vice President of the Savage
Tire Corporation:
Am sending under separate
cover a set of still pictures on
the bort climbing to the rim of
Zion Canyon, Utah, and wish to
call your special attention to the
of Savage tires on
this trip. To the writer's GER
tain knowledge there has never
been a test as gruelling or stren-
uous on tires, where absolutely
no tire trouble was encountered.
Leaving Cedar City, Utah,
we encountered a grade five
miles long that climbs almost
3, 900 feet in the five miles. The
road has been used for years
hauling coal and supplies and the
bort was the first motor car to
reach the summit of this grade.
The grade alone was sufficient
test for any car or tire-razor-
edge boulders and point centers
continually blocking the way,
the wheels spinning continuously
for lack of traction in the shale
and small stones. The entire
day was consumed in reaching
the top. We camped that night
on a plateau nearly 5000 feet
above sea level.
''The next day we began day
of torment to reach the Rim of
Zion Canyon, driving for 70 miles
through virgin forests, cutting
our way, and over miles of lava
beds, through mountain washes
and over the crests of tooth
ridges. The tires cut to ribbons,
with the fabric showing through
the gashes, we reached the rim
of Zion with the original air
placed in the tires at San Diego"

RED CROSS DRIVE

A nation VIDE christmas HE'LL
bership drive has been planned
by the Red Cross War Council.
The building up Of Red Cross
membership TO 100000 in the
United States is the goal of the
campaign. This means an addi-
ton of approximately 10000, OOO
names to present muster roll.
The drive is to start December
18th and continue increasingly to
Christmas Eve. The general fea-
lures of the membership cam
paign were worked out and ap-
proved at conference at national
headquarters of Red Cross, in
which representatives OF each
Red Cross division of continental
United States participated.
A national Christmas member
ship drive committee has been
appointed by the War Council to
have general charge of planning
and later conducting whole cam
paign. Theodore N. Vail, presi-
dent American Telegraph and
Telephone Company, has accept
ed the Craftsmanship, and DR.. H.
N. MacCracken, president of
Vassar College, will be executive
secretary. Other members of
the committee are: His Emf
nence James, Cardinal Gibbons;
Bishop William Lawrence, Bos-
ton; DR.. Henry Van Dyke, form
er minister to the Netherlands,
Princeton, N. j.; John A. Brit
ton, San Francisco; Benjamin
Gratz, st. Louis; Ban Johnson,
Chicago; Hervey Lindley, Seattle;
John Mitchell, New York City.

mas" is to be the recruiting slo-
gan. Everyone taking out a
membership in the Red Cross
during drive period is known as
Christmas Member" and eff
fort practically will be limited to
securing annual members paying
annual dues of one dollar or two
dollars in case of subscribing or
magazine members.
During Red Cross week in
June the 500, ,OOO,0 mark set
by War Council was oversub-
scribed and gave assurance of a
national interest in Red Cross
work, which should make Christ
mas membership drive fully as
successful.

mas drive committees are to be
selected by division managers,
committees to work under gen.
eral direction of national COM
mittee. Each of the 5000 or so
Red Cross chapters also will ap-
point committee to cooperate
under guidance of respective di-
vision committees.
1t is felt that people will be
thinking of service rather than
festivities and that minds gen.
orally will be turned to battle
fields of Europe and especially to
our own soldiers and sailors. 1t
is believed, therefore. that the
country will be in a frame of
mind at Christmas time to give
expression to all it's anxiety and
hope by showing and renewing
evidences of its support of Red

A SPLENDID RECORD

days, not only among aspirants
in the county, but is putting in
overtime fitting among the lead
ers in gubernatorial aspirations
in the State.
Among those mentioned in
several papers of the State, we
note the name of Hon. w. A.
Moeur. State Land Commission
err. Mr.. Moeur's splendid record
as the head of the State Land
Department has brought him in
to prominence as a candidate for
the democratic nomination for
governor.
Mr.. Moeur certainly has done
we'll in his position as land COM
missioner.
Mr.. Moeur, by good business
methods, has made a complete
success in every line of work in
selection, survey and disposal at
good prices for State lands, and
has made the State Land Depart
ment an income maker for the
taxpayers of the State, where in
the past it was a source of great
expense.
A summary of the receipts for
the quarter ending September
Both, will illustrate the good
work being done by the State
Land Department under the
direction of Mr.. Moeur.
The summary, is as follows:
Sale of land --. $3l, ,359. rs
Deferred payment of lands
sOld ----- b9, lU9 ~
Classification and appraise-
ment ices ------------- 9,SI. 5U
Filing fees s 1854. .65
Rentals from lands leased 75,7l8.9 80
Total receipts for quarter -$19l, ,3l4.39
The above is fine showing
and is good evidence of what
business methods, under, CON-
petent head, can accomplish for
a State Office.
Mr.. Moeur is also a real demo-
crat and if there is one thing
more than another that the State
of Arizona really needs, it is to
have as governor real democrat
that will represent true demo-
cracy.
MIR. Moeur's success in the
democratic primary will mean a
democratic land slide in the State
of Arizona next November.

begun to run with the pitchers wind
up, in which case he could have
scored on a single just as easily.
This is the second guess, of course,
and it is easy to figure the plays aft
erward. In defense Of the play as
made, it can be said that Bagby was
in hole and was compelled to put
the ball across the plate. But he
would have been in exactly the same
position on the next pitch. Appar-
emily the Hose had no respect for the
arm of Steve O'Neill. Four of them
tried to steal. Three he caught and
the fourth would have been out sew
eraI feet if Wamby had not dropped
a perfect throw.
Running wild on the bases was a
failing of last season. 1t is good
strategy against some teams, but not
against one which has a catcher like
O'NeiU.
LieboId had some difficulty in de-
Tending right field, but Cancelled
these liabilities with three hits of the
seven made by the locals. Our slug
ging trio, Collins, Jackson and
Felsch, failed to put the ball safely
in a composite ten times at bat.
Fred Mitchell must start on his
mems brains where Joe Tinker left
off. He must teach them to be alive
and present a defense for every play.
If Phil Douglass had been alive yes
terday he would not have been de-
feated by the Reds.
Twice with men on third base
throws from the oUtfield took bad
hops and went by Art Wilson, allow
ing the runners to register. If, on
each occasion, Douglass had backed
up the catcher there would have been
no scoring and the North Siders
would have taken the odd game
from Redland to st. Louis, where
they are billed for the next five days.
Some pitchers have an idea that
the OnlV dUtV required of them is to

and look like inYincible parties. They
are heroic guys, and loud is the praise
for their stuff"
But there are other pitchers who
are ambitious enough to do a bit of
fielding on occasion, covering first
base, backing up the catcher and
also protecting third on throws to
that corner. They are the boys who
are alive to every opportunity and
will win more often than the station
airy shooters.
Mathewson, Brown, Gene Packard,
Ferdie Schupp, Claude Cooper,
Claude Hendrix, Dick Rudolph and
Grover Alexander are only a few of
those in the National who field as
well as pitch. All of their defense
doesn't rely on their pitching arms
and the hands and feet of their field
ers.
Rollie Zeider has left the team be-
cause of the death of his father and
will not be back until Monday. In
the meantime Hunter will play third
and Deal short. If Ruether was not
needed in the box Mitchell might sta
ton him back on first and let Mer-
kle take Zeider's place, for Ruether
is hitting the ball, and hitting is al
ways needed. He pinched for Deal
yesterday, tripled with the bases full
and counted himself on a sacrifice fly.
That was all the scoring the Cubs
did.
The last graphing show at the Chi
cagO Athletic assn this season will

piOn Earl CaddOck, who as a MEM
