MAN KILLED FROM
 TOO OMUCH MINE GAS

MESA, June 20.-A man by the name of Richards was killed by gas early yesterday afternoon in the Mammoth mine about 25 miles east of Mesa.
 He had gone down to 90-foot depth to repair some pipe when gas from an old drift asphyxiated him, reports from the mine say. The helper at the top was to await his signal to hoist him up and when Is minutes had elapsed from the time of Richards entrance to the mine, the helper became alarmed and descended, but was forced to turn back on account of the gas. Two other men then tried with the same result. They hurried to the Buckhorn and Boulder mine for additional pipe and the blower was put to work. AS soon as entrance could be effected the man was brought to the surface but death had already occurred. Dr. R. F. Palmer had been phoned for as soon as the gas was discovered and made a hur- ried trip. all to no purpose. The cor oner from Pinal was notified and the body brought in last night and placed in the care of undertaken Gibbons of Mesa.

THRIFT STAMP-HAY
 MEETING 4! GILBERT
 PROVES BIG SUCCESS

GILBERT, June 20.-A joint meeting
 which finally merged into an enthusi- astic thrift stamp effort was held in the school house at Gilbert Tuesday night. A meeting of the Gilbert Hay and Grain company had been called for the purpose of disorganizing the body. the. need for its continuance being no longer apparent. Twenty eight out of the 52 members of the organization were present and Charles Huffman
 was made chairman of the meeting with Dr. F. D. Powell secretary. There was a fund on hand which is to be diveded among the stockholders. The
 amount is around $500, and it was
 decided by unanimous vote of those
 present to disburse this amount to the stockholders in proportion to their
 stock. and accompany the check with
 letter requesting the recipient to
 put the money into thrift stamps. Following this action. the meeting
 was turned over to the thrift stamp committee. c. H. Russell, chairman
 of the Gilbert thrift stamp committee, took charge, opening the meeting with ! brief and emphatic talk on the needs of getting actively to work for the
 campaign.
 The Mesa orchestra had been ex- pected but were unable to be present and the meeting being thrown back upon its own resources for the enter tainment feature. listened with pleas
 ure to a reading by MT. Russell, a brother of the chairman. The encore
 was responded to by both gentlemen
 who rendered song with whistling ac- compartment America" and ''The | Star Spangled Banner" were sung by the company present and an address | by O. s. Stapley of Mesa followed Then came the Gilbert women, all
 ways doing the right thing in the nic-
 est possible manner and announced ice
 cream in abundance, all profits to go toward buying thrift stamps. In this way some 20 gallons of cream were disposed of and nice sum realized.
 Five people present pledged themselves | for $40 purchases each of thrift stamps
 between now and January 1, 1913.

CHANDLER RIFLE CLUB MEETS; MUCH
 INTEREST |S TAKEN

CHANDLER. June 20.-The Chand- Ter Rifle club held its regular semi weekly meeting last night. The other date for each week is Friday. On both of the occasions the club has a stiff and energetic drill practice. in which from twelve to eighteen men now are taking part, with the pros- pect that this number will grow into al least 40 who will receive instruc- tion in the manual of arms. The Chandler club is fortunate in having tbe assistance of H. q. Beardsley, agent at the Arizona Eastern depot. as drill master. MT. Beardsley gained his knowledge in the army where he was a member of the 22nd U. s. In fantry. The club soon will begin target practice. It is believed by those members in Chandler, who are enthusiastic over their rifle club, that it's members should cheerfully give of their time toward perfecting their efficiency in drill that they may be Of use should any emergency arise requiring their aid.

ENGINE DETAILED,
 DRIVER HURT; SUES

An echo of a Christmas eve accident was heard in the superior court yester- day when Jeff D. Brown, at that time employed as locomotive engineer, brought suit against the city of Phoe- nix for s10,000 damages. He claims that through the negligence and care- lessness of the street cleaning depart ment in leaving dirt on track loco motive of the Arizona Eastern railroad was derailed and that he was thrown to the ground and seriously injured.
 Through his attorneys, Niles and Sheperd, Brown is seeking to recover several thousand dollars, claiming his own ability to earn a living has been injured. He further claims that he lost 63 days of labor by the accident and was in bed for period of F days.
 The derailment took place at Third street where that street crosses the main line of the railroad. It was o'clock when the locomotive reached the intersection, and the gravel and dirt alleged to have been on the track are said to have caused the locomotive to rock from side to side. Brown, who was riding on the locomotive. was thrown to the ground and badly in- jured, it is claimed.

MESA, June 20.-Yesterday about noon a man giving his name as An drew Ralston was arrested by a secret service officer here and placed in jail The girls who were conducting the thrift stamp booth in front of Every bodys Drug store, had asked the man to buy stamp and they state that he replied.

 w. A. Burton hearing of the remark, called the attention of the local off cers to the man, and while he was be- ing interrogated, secret service of ficer who was in town walked up and took Ralston in charge landing him in jail.
 The officer was not known to be in the community, and the promptness of his action when he heard of the affair brought an additional feeling of confi- dence to those who always are wonder ing whether or not the department of
