A fatal accident occurred ON the
3. r. 2. Z p. "Wednesday, which 10.
suited in the death Of Conductor ]. G.
Stewart four hours later.
Particulars Of the smashup Of the
two trains are meager. II was ne
! ported that Conductor Stewart had
his south-bound freight train stand
ing on . bridge, when On the rather
steep grade four cars Of . north
bound freight broke loose and came
tearing down the track at Q terrific
speed, striking the eaboose, on the top
Of which Mr.. Stewart was standing.
When the crash occurred. Mr.. Stew
art was thrown into the creek bed
over fifty feet below, where he sus-
tanned fatal injuries, being injured
internally, and one Of his arms WAS
broken. He was rendered unconsci-
ous for some time, and after being re-
moved to Wickenburg was revived.
Later he passed into the same state,
and it was while being brought to tho
Mercy hospital at Prescott that his
death followed. He was unable to
converse or give any reason for the
accident.
Mr.. Stewards career as q railroad
man of over eleven years ON this road
had been attended 1t all times with
. strict regard to duty for preserving
life and property, and his death Is
occasioning much sorrow.<
"Where the collision took place il
had been the custom for one train to
help another in backing freight cars
ON the grade, which accounts for the
train Of Conductor having been brot
to standstill.
Conductor Stewart came to Prescott
from Colorado about twelve years ago
and previously had followed railroad
ing. He was promoted from brake
man to conductor. Personally he en-
joyed an excellent name in and out Of
his calling, and for this reason his
death is deeply deplored. He |
was about 81 years Of age and a ma
tive Of Pennsylvania. Surviving him
are his wife and two daughters, Miss
Lonelva Stewart and Mrs. N. s. Nit
chell, who reside in this city; an aged |
mother in Pennsylvania and four sis |
ters and three brothers, one Of the lat
ter being Fred Stewart, an employee
Of the S. F. p. & p. in the operating |
The deceased affiliated |
with the Elks, and Knights Of Pythias
orders, also being q member Of the |
Order Of Railroad Conductors and
Of Railway Trainmen.
Burial will probably be given in this |

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
(By Alva A. Swain.)

Work on the Fourth Liberty Loan
has already begun. At a conference
last Tuesday between Director Harold
Kountze and the state committee,
plans were completed for the general
drive in October, thru which Colorado
is expected to purchase in the neigh
borhood of Forty million dollars worth
of bonds. The general campaign is
the same as the one followed in the
Third Liberty Loan. District and
county organizations are already ef-
fected. Counties will be subdivided
into local districts or precincts and
quotas assigned. The total amount of
Colorado's proportion has not yet been
announced, but it is announced that
the loan will be for six billions and
this would give Colorado forty million
to raise, if the same quota division is
followed in the Fourth Liberty Loan
as was followed in the Third.
In general analysis Of the Third
Loan it was found that the very veal
thy people and the very poor people
bought to>the limit of their ability,
but thousands Of the middle class,
those worth from five to fifty thous-
and dollars, bought very meagerly,
hundreds Of them taking only hum
Orcu OOlaT DOnQ. fne cOmmltLee IN
tends to adopt new system this time
to reach this class Of people and in
de4e them to increase the amount Of
the purchase. They will be card-in-
dexed and rating committees will in
dicate the amount they should pur-
chase and efforts will be made to have
these ratings sustained. Practically
the same army that handled the Third
Liberty Loan and the War Savings
Stamps campaigns will be used in
this campaign. There may be . few
changes, where men move away, or
really want to be relieved, but on the
whole, the army will remain entact.
Colorado has reached every quota
90 far assigned to her and there is lit
tie doubt that she will reach this one.
Returned American soldier boys will
be used as speakers thfuout the state.
Forty million seems . lot, but We
have up to date subscribed over one
hundred million dollars, and the next
forty should be raised without much
Of . strain.

REESE POTTER MAKES HIS
TORY IN UNITED STATES NAVY

Grand Junction Daily News
Reese A. Potter, a Grand Junction
boy, whose arrival home on furlough
was noted in Saturdays Daily News,
has quite list of achievements to his
credit. He was gun captain on the
cruiser that took General Pershing to
Europe and held the same position on
the ships that took Admiral Benson
into the war zone and the Elihu Root
mission to Russia
Altho only nineteen years Of age,
young Potter has crossed the Atlantic
eleven times. He has touched at al
most every Atlantic port of import
ance and has marched in American
parades in both London and Paris.
Reese was among the first 200 jack
les to arrive in Paris with General
Pershing.
Women and children strewed the
line of their march with flowers he
says, and the French women were
rouchingly affectionate, kissing the
men on both cheeks and showing much
devotion.
'While travelling thru France" says
Reese, 1--WE saw prison camp with
$4,000 German prisoners. None Of
them seemed very glad to zee MS.
They called Us kids, but we were the
huskiest kids they will ever want to
meet.
Submarines do not fiighten the
boys on shipboard as much a. they
seem to frighten you folks on land"
he continued. "They come in drcves
as q rule, and generally leave faster
than they came.
aWhen "sub. ho!" is yelled. the
boys are anxious to get there. They
even. take pictures Of them"
On one Of his ocean voyages, Reese
sighted the wake Of sub torpedo ct
. considerable distance from the ship
and sounded the alarm. The vessel
was swerved from her course slightly
and the torpedo passed harmlessly by,
but only . few fest distant.
/ In one battle with the subs, Potter's
left hand WAS broken by the recoil Of
. six-inch gun. but he stuck to his
post thru the action. 4 s9 aesi
