RANCHER KILLED

Jesse M. Finch, well-known ranch
man of this vicinity, was struck
and fatally injured at Hayden
Junction April 4, Finch was stand
ing on the east crossing at the juno
tion needless of his danger, and was
struck by an eastbound ore train,
which was unab' to stop in time to
save him.
From the testimony given at the
coroner's inquest it appears that
Finch's own absence of mind was the
sole cause of his death, and that no
blame can be attributed to the men
on the train, who did everything in
their power to avert the tragedy. 1t
was shown that on the morning in
question the engine picked up nine
cars on track number one, tried the
air, and backed out on the main line,
then started up the hill, blowing the
whistle for the block signal, and for
the crossing as usual, the engine being
on the rear end of the train, which it
was pushing. About twelve car
lengths from the crossing, Conductor
Cole and Brakeman Overbay, which
were riding on the front end of the
train, hanging to the front end of the
forward ore car, saw Finch very close
to the crossing. A moment later he
stopped directly on the crossing and
stood there, looking to the east, and
apparently entirely unconscious that
a train was anywhere near him.. AS
he did this Cole instantly threw on the
emergency brake, and both he and

GERMAN LOSES

Deputy MarshaIs Will Take This Hy-

HAYDEN, Ariz., April 13.-War
came near being brought home to us
in a dramatic manner at the beginning
of the week, when Arthur Knight, en-
ployed at the power plant of the Ray
Consolidated Copper company, came
into collision with German fellow
employee who did not like Knights
political leanings Young Knight, it
seems, has strong admiration for
Great Britain, and considering that
some honor is due her as our ally
hung the British flag up under the
Stars and Stripes in front of his own
doorway. This excited the Germans S
ire and he ordered knight to take the
flag down. Knight refused. There
upon, the German, assuming a Won
Hindenburgish expression, poured
forth a torrent of profane and abusive
language, and stated that if the flag
was not down within twenty four
hours he would pull it down. Knight

prepared to give the Kaiser's friend
a warm reception. The twenty -four
hours passed without incident, and, the
flag being still intact, it is assumed
that the hyphenated citizen has
thought better of the matter.
PROTESTS FLAG; JAILED
Mike Durate Mexican born in this
country, was arrested Monday for
threatening another Mexican who was
displaying an American flag on his
car. When Durate saw the flag on
the car it is said he exclaimed: "Well
Chapo, always knew you were Grin
go --i Either take that flag
down or stay out of San Pedro" (the
Mexican settlement) Chapo, however,
although much the smaller man, vail
antly refused to take down the flag.
Duarte then told him to go back to
Hayden with the other Gringos, and
not to return, or bodily harm would
be done him. No official notice was
at first taken of the matter, but later
it was decided to give the bellicose in
dividual lesson, and he is now in Jail
here awaiting trial.

val of the action of the Tax Commits
sion in it's efforts to solve this problem.

During the conference held in Janu-
ary with the County Assessors it was
brought to the attention of the Tax
Commission that Maricopa, Pinal and
Yavapai counties were not receiving
their just proportion of transient herd
taxes.
The law provides that owners of
transient herds SHALL when paying
their taxes, make affidavit showing the
number of head of livestock and the
period such livestock have ranged dur
ing the calendar year in the different
counties. The County Treasurer is
then required to Immediately transmit
copy of the affidavit and the taxes
belonging to other counties to the
State Treasurer, who, in turn, properly
apportions the money so collected to
the counties entitled thereto.
The Tax Commission has under
taken to see that these laws are strict
ly enforced and an equitable distri-
button made of the taxes collected,
and with this in view issued call
for the above mentioned meeting.

Always look for bleeding, and if the
blood is bright red and coming in
spurts, try to stop it at once.
Don't give an injured man brandy
or whisky or any stumulants while he
is bleeding; keep him quiet and

If any bones are broken, put on
splints before moving him. If you are
in doubt as to whether the bones are
broken, always put on splints.
If you find that he has no broken
bones and is not bleeding or splitting
blood, but is very pale and is cold and
kreathes fast, keep him quiet; lay him
on his back. lower his head, cover him
with brattice cloth, clothing, blankets,
or the like; place safety lamps, if
they are used in the mine, under covers
near him as an aid in keeping him
warm; do not let others crowd around
him, but give him plenty of air-State

TENNESSEE STRIKE
OF GREAT IMPORT

CHLORIDE, Ariz., April 13.-Details
of the new strike on the 1900 level of
the Tennessee mine just given out, con-
firm the report that the new discovery
is one of the most important ever made
on that property. The new ore body
is four and one half feet in width and
was encountered in the crosscut from a
wing from the 400 level to the 1900
The most significant feature of the dis
covery, it is said that the zinc values
are thinning out and silver and lead
coming in higher values. The new ore
is said to be equal if not superior to
any taken from the Tennessee.

PHOENIX, April 13.-It is report
ed that Governor Hunt is about to
institute suit for 100000 damages

Overbay shouted with their utmost,
strength in an effort to warn Finch,
who, however, heard nothing, and
ed him down and the cars passed over
him So great was the momentum of
the train that the emergency brake
did not stop it until eight cars had
passed over Finch AS soon as the
train stopped it was uncoupled and
Finch, who had been dragged forward
and into cattle guard, was taken out,
put into machine, and hurried to the
Hayden hospital, where he died short
time afterward.

On the 9Th of the month the Ray
Con. Hotel, concerning which a num-
Der of rumors have recently been cur
rent, changed hands, Ling 10, the for
mer proprietor, having been bought
out by Mrs Corliss, who is well known
in Hayden as having been in charge
of the A. S. & R. boarding house, on
Smelter Side. With Ling JOS depart
ure vanished also his help, and now
Maggie and Maud are no longer with
US, at least in the well known capacity
in which they have served the public,
so long. Ling Lo himself is going to
start a new restaurant there under the
auspices of the Ray Hercules Copper
Co., but later he will also operate a
restaurant and lunch counter in Hay
den, to be located in a new building
which Mr.. Geo Mauk will erect for him
between the new theater and the place
occupied by Mr. Bland. JOS many
friends here, who remember his unfail-
ing courtesy will wish him success in
these new ventures. In the meantime
the Ray Con. Hotel, under Mrs. Cor
liss' management, is setting an ex-
cellent table, and we hope will enjoy
a prosperous future
Mr.. Won Bergen, of the Worthington
Pump & Machinery Co.. arrived here
from Hurley N. NJ last week, and is
now at the Ray Con. plant, giving ex-
pert advice and assistance in relation
to certain machinery there.
While the news of our declaration
of war against Germany was receiv-
ed with the greatest enthusiasm in
Hayden, it is said that three or four
individuals were scared stiff by ad-
vices that the recruiting officer will be
here soon. Joe Thompson, working at
the Ray Con. plant, approached a fell
low workman recently and made eau
tious inquiry, as follows:
"Say, how about this drafting busi-
ness?. Do they allow you to go home
and see your folks before you go way
to the front?"
"of course not replied the man,
they just pack you right off to the
front first thing. That's the last you
are ever heard of until you are killed
or the wars over Joe turned pal, back
ed away, and dropped the matter right
there. A day or two later he resigned
his position and is said to have gone
to his home somewhere in the east.
Evidently he is determined to have
that farewell visit with his folks in
spite of the recruiting officer.
