 Had Close Call

CAMP VERDE, Sept. 2l.-(Spec- iaD-Robcrt Cander had very close call from being killed by lightning on Friday afternoon, when bolt descended and hit a fine work horse within only a few feet of where he was standing. The animal met death m an instant. AIr. Candcr was com ing to Camp Verde from a sawmili on the Mogollon mountains, with an &-horse team loaded with lumber, and had stopped for the night to go into camp. He had unharnesscd one of the leaders and ii started to walk away, going less than twenty feet when the crash came. Mir. Cander was knocked down and remained in an unconscious condition for several minutes. After rcviviug he unhar- messed the team and after his arrival ,n Camp Verde stated he felt no evil effects from the terrific shock.

mate excuse should subscribe to this loan. We suggest the advisability oi tabulating the people in the commun ity and roting at each name the state ment that they have or have not sub scribed. We suggest the formation of a committee in each community whose business it shall be to go to those who refuse to subscribe and find out whether their refusal is justi- fled. We leave 1t to the judgment Of the committee in each community to decide what action shall be taken in case of a person who IS able to subscribe and who refuses. But we advance 1t as theory that cannot be gainsaid that anybody who is not with us in this thing is against us. and anyone who is against us is not entitled to share in the benefits oi our government or the advantages that each community secures from the existence of the government.
 It is considerable matter of pride that up to the present time Yavapai county has not asked the United Sta tes government for one cent toward- the expenses of raising these Liberty Loans. We request that each com munity finance itself by keeping ex- penses down to a minimum and by raising fund locally with which to pay the expenses. In case it is neces> sary to telegraph the central com mittee at Phoenix send the telegrams collect marked Government Rate" making them as short as possible, and sign it with your last name only.
 On every single patriotic subscrip- ton up to the present time Yavapai county has led the State of Arizona with no one as a second. I ask your earnest cooperation in this Fourth Liberty Loan to the end that we may maintain the proud position we now hold, and we are all particularly anx ious that the number of subscriptions may be in this instance greater than it ever has been before.
 Upon receipt of word from Phoe- nix as to the amount of the loan and the allotment to this county I will notify you promptly as to the indi- vidual allotment for your community on the basis of population in the list which I enclose you herewith.
 Yours very truly,
 F. s. VIELE.

could reload his gun the mother bear
appeared and climbed the tree. Mr.
Robinson has a fiashlight which he
used and at once sighted her in tho

the fashlight refused to work. The
hunter, who always carries reserve

Mrs. Bruin in the same position. One
shot from his gun brought her crash

succeeded in unloading his game il
