(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Worthy of a pioneer who had lead an exemplary life in this State for many years, and as a deserving trib- ute to his memory, there were many in this city yesterday who attended the funeral of Judge P. s. Wren, whose sudden death occurred last week at the Pioneers Home, as the deceased was preparing to leave that institution of which he had been su- perintendent for nearly three years.
 In closing up a commendable offl- cial career he likewise was ending life's journey, and the summons camC without the slightest warning as he was preparing to turn over to his sue cessor the day following the manage ment of the place and again return to civil life. Judge Wren's death occas toned deep and sincere expressions of sorrow among old as we'll as young in this community. To the aged Has Sayamper he always bore a true and kindly feeling, and those on the hill sincerely feel his loss. To many chill drcn his benevolent disposition was we'll known, and many deeds of char ity attested to his generous nature. He was laid away in the Knights of Pythias cemetery under the rites of that order. His only relative present, was a son, Major Clark C. Wren, U. s. A., who made the journey from Fort Sam Houston, Texas

THREE ARE HURT WHENCARGOES
 OFF THE ROAD
FRANK DREYER HAS A BROKEN WRIST; ]. E. REDDENS HEEL BROKEN AND JAKE BLUMBERG IS CUT UP.
(From Tuesdays Daily)

]. E. Redden suffered broken heel, Frank Dreyer a broken wrist and Jake Blumberg numerous cuts and bruises, when light delivery car, driven by the latter, went over bank on Bullwhacker hill, Sunday after noon, in one of the most sensational spills that has occurred along this road in a long time. That the three young men were not killed outright is a miracle.
 'Blumberg was taking his friends to Humboldt for the afternoon. They were not making specially fast time, according to their own account, but just as they started to round corner, the steering apparatus gave way and the car plunged off the grade, turning over several times before finally settling down for the night.
 Blumberg was not badly hurt. Some cuts and bruises were the extent of his injuries. Redden was hurled from the machine and rolled around considerably, but in spite of the fact he got broken heel bone in the rue ton, he retained his death grip on a cigar he was smoking at the moment of impact. In this, he is fortunate, for Barney Old6eld contends that the presence of good cigar between the teeth in an automobile spill has saved him many time from biting his ton que off Dreyer fell, also, and snap ped his right wrist.
 J. H. Morgan and family, who were touring out the road to Dewey, sorted out the humanity from the wreck of the machine and brought them in to the hospital, where their injuries were treated.

JOHN REESE TO
 GO BACK TO SERVICE
(From Fridays Daily.)

One hunk of shrapnel through the foot, while serving as a member Of the British expeditionary force in the Gallipoli peninsula, did not sour John Reese, young Italian on trench life. He came in from Jerome yesterday, enlisted in the First Arizona Infantry and took his departure for Naco, where he hopes to be assigned to the machine gun company.
 Reese is 24 years of age. He is a native of Italy but has been in this country for so long he speaks excel lent English He had taken out his first naturalization papers when the war began, and shortly afterward joined the British army. He was in the field artillery during the entire disastrous campaign against the Turks on the peninsula, and shortly before the evacuation by the Allied forces, received his wound.
 Reese then returned to America, being discharged from the army as cripple. Here he was healed entirely of the wound, which did not include injury to the bones of the foot. When examined by Lieutenant D. K. An dcrson, in charge of local recruiting, Reese's foot was entirely we'll. and as strong as ever. He has been working as a miner.
 With Reese went local boy, Ken meth Phillips Broam, who is also bound for the machine gun company at Naco.
 Lieutenant Anderson believes that he may be called off shortly after the draft has been held. He mentions this in order that anyone wishing to join prior to the drawing may see him at the Lawlcr block, where he has headquarters.

SUNDAY TRAGEDY WASNARROWLY
 AVERTED
TWO PRESCOTT YOUNG LADIES NEARLY LOSE THEIR LIVES BY DROWN ING AT GRANITE DELLS WHILE IN SWIMMING.
(F,om Tuesdays Daily.)

An occasion of merrymaking and enjoyment almost reached tragic climax Sunday evening at Granite Dells, when two young ladies of this city nearly lost their lives by drown ing. They were Miss Louise, Gunther and Miss Hazel Cassell, both operat- ors of the Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Company, and the oc- casion was picnic in which swim ming in the lake at that resort was one of the features of the outing.
 After the days recreation was com ing to an end the young ladies donned bathing suits and went into the water. Miss Gunther, it seems, was endeavor- ing to return to the shore from the little island in the lake, about 100 feet distant, and was noticed by Miss Cassell to go down. Waiting for her to return to the surface, the latter be- came alarmed and plunged in to be of assistance, being good swimmer, while Miss Gunther was not. Where Miss Gunther disappeared the water was about ten feet in depth, and when Miss Cassell swan to the place her friend came to the surface and grab bed Miss Cassell by the hair, taking her down also. Releasing herself from the vice-like hold at the bottom of the lake, Miss 'Cassell on reaching the surface gave an alarm. Two young men of the party, \. :. Nor wood. assistant clerk of the board ot supervisors and Drank Baker, lineman of the telephone company, went to the rescue of the young women Nor wood dove and found Miss Gunther at the bottom, bringing her up and wading with the body above his head, safely landed her on land, where hrst aid methods were applied to resusci- tate her. Baker swan to Miss Cas- sell. who had reached an almost de- lirious state from her perilous situa- ton in being taken down by her friend. The condition of Miss Cas- sell. however, did not satisfactorily improve, and it was deemed advisable to rush her in the auto of Manager Buehler to the city for medical atten- ton. The affair was regretted by all, but was unavoidable under the cir cumstances. It IS presumed that Miss Gunter was seized with cramps, and becoming disconccrted could not con trol herself, when she sank while famished from physical efforts. Both young ladies are receiving congratu- lations of many friends over escaping what might have been a sad fate, while Messrs Norwood and Baker are being showered with good words as heroes of the regrettable affair.

William and Archie Henderson being singled out by the same bolt that descended from high official circles at Washington.
 These three young men reside at Walker, and by way of peculiar CO., incidence they were the only eligibles from that mining camp to register. All are rangemen, skilled in horse manship and conversant with the use of firearms. They are native-born of this county, and if they get into action in or out of the saddle their carly day training will reflect creditably on them and their country.
