Romantic Elopement

Believing that it is sometimes
justifable to suppress news item,
and especially when by so doing it
will oblige young couple just EN-
barking on the sea of matrimony,
the Signal last week did not give
publicity to the event chronlcled in
the following article. Now, how
ever, that the secret is out, the
story is given, as published in the
Tombstone Prospector.
An elopement, followed by parental for
giveness in which everything turned out
0 K and the blessings of the fond parent
were received, occurred on July 4th, when
lanes Simpson, we'll known Tombstone
boy. and Miss Vera Bright, OF Johnson.
daughter of Deputy Sheriff John Bright
were married.
The couple had secretly planned every
thing, and against the parents wishes. the
groom-to-b be hied himself over to Benson,
catching the midnight train to Cochise,
where the bride-to-be was awaiting his
arrival. They caught the next train back
to Benson, arriving there in the early hours
of morning and seeking out Justice of the
Peace c. L. Rucker, the knot was tied and
they came on to Tombstone. By this time
the friends of the pair had ''got next to
the occurrence, and seeing that "it was all
off they thought it best to return to John
son to face the music" with Papa Bright
who by this time was an irate parent to
say the least. The trip back to johnson
was made, however, with gloomy forebod-
ings as to what was to happen. but on ar
rival there, after Pa Bright had "had his
say a-plenty, he extended parental for
giveness and blessings, and to make every
thing berter still, he took his and
brought the couple back to Tombstone
today, where they will make their resi-
dence.

Fairbank Postoffice Destroyed
by Fire

Fire resulting from a bolt of
lightning striking the Fairbank
Commercial Co.'s store, of A. A.
Heney, in which the postofflce is
located, almost completely destroy
ed the contents of the office, in
cluding records, envelopes and
stamps During the heavy storm
of Saturday night lightning struck
the store in the portion in which
the postoffice was located and be-
fore Mr.. Heney, who resides in
the building adjoining the store,
noticed what had happened that
end of the building was full of
flames.
The fire was extinguished as
quickly as possible with chemicals,
but only after everything in the
postoffice department had been de-
stroyed or damaged. The fire also
spread to the dry goods department
but little damage resulted before it
was extinguished. No amount has
been placed on the damage. -

"No-Accident Week" Showed a
Big Decrease In Casualties

A new mark in the conservation
of life and limb on the railroads of
the country was established by the
No Accident Week" conducted
by the government in the Central
Western Region June 22-29, ac-
cording to reports just made pub
lie by railroad officials.
On the Southern Pacific there
was not a single fatality, with only
fourteen injuries to employees,
most OF them being of a minor
character. The Western Pacific
and two affiliated short lines made
an absolutely clear record. So did
the Sacramento, Salt Lake and
Stockton divisions of the Southern
Pacific, and the Los Angeles shops.
general stores, telegraph and din
ing car departments of the same
lines.
Sprains or contusions involving
only temporary disability constl-
tuted the fourteen mishaps above
referred to.
For the region as a whole cas-
ualties were reduced from nine fa-
tales and 447 injuries for the same
period in 1913 to four fatalities and
"a injuries, ninety per cent of the
latter being of minor character.
This is considered a remarkable
showing in view of the fact that
the Central Western Region oper-
ates 55, 900 miles of railroad and
has 327 900 employees.
Telegraphing his congratulations
from Chicago, Regional Director
Hale Holden appealed to officials,
employees and citizens to carry
on.

the storage room adjoining had it's
front battered up.
The canvas awning in front Of
the store of Chas. E. Goetz was
taken by the wind and carried away
but without damage to the build
ing to any great extent.
In the lower end of town, the
awning in front of Ong Kee went
in the blow and two or three build
ing further down were damaged.
The storm seemed to be a little
freakish in its work. Some shacks
seeming almost ready to tumble
down were left intact while build
ings more substantially built were
either torn up or else lifted bodily
and set down in another place.
North of the railroad compara-
lively little damage was done. The
stable shed on the Chisholm place
was blown down and the home of
E. w. Land had doors blown of
their hinges and the house flooded
with water.
Down near the river, the barn o1
C. A. Segur, on the Morrison farm
was lifted up by the wind and car
ried a short distance and set down
right side up.
In a storm where so many sus-
tanned damages it is hard to get al
details, but the above mentioned
losses are believed to be approxi
mately correct. Messrs. Chas. F
Moss and Sam L. Wilson are prob
ably the heaviest losers. Some esti
mates place the damage sustained
by Mr.. Moss, including coal anc
ice houses, drug store, residence
and grounds at fully fifteen hun
dred dollars.

Loss of Appetite
on

As a general rule there is nothing
serious about a loss of appetite,
and if you skip a meal or only eat
two meals a day for a few days you
will soon have a relish for your
meals when meal time comes.
Bear in mind that at least five hours
should always elapse between meals
so as to give the food ample time
to digest and the stomacha period
of rest before a second meal is taken.
Then if you eat no mere than you
crave and take a reasonable amount
of outdoor exercise every day you
will not need to worry about your
appetite. When the loss of appetite
is caused by constipation as is
often the case, that should be cor
rected at cnce. A dose of Cham
berlain's S Tablets will do it.

CAN YOU BEAT THIS?
Wisconsin Hen Laid Nine Eggs in
IS Minutes.

MADISON, Wis.-Professor J. G..
Halpin of the poultry department of
the University of Wisconsin has spent
several days at La Crosse, Wis, as a
guest of Gustave Rhodes, owner of
the hen, Biddy, which has puzzled
poultry experts by her record of Law
ing an average of % eggs a week for
the last two months.
Professor Halpin is convinced that
except for her egg laying propensity,
Biddy is normal hen in every way,
He has examined her carefully and
has observed her actions. One day
he saw her lay nine eggs in Is min
utess, and the next day seven in half
an hour.
Professor Halpin is arranging to
exhibit Biddy at county fairs this fall
and will ask for a university appro-
priatlon to purchase the hen for
$500: He declares that it would be
possible to cross breed uoltry so
that. hens would ordinarily lay two
or three eggs day, just as the milk
yields of cows has been increased
through regulated cross breeding.

Rupert Grabs Last Game Of
Season After Disastrous
Session

Ernie Wells tried to pitch a baseball
game for Caldwell against a team oil
professional stars from Rupert and
they way that they manhandled him
MIN in the first inning took all the
Joy out of Jack Winnings bland coun-
tenance. 1t was awful. Five runs in
that first session and the game was
virtually over. All Caldwell sluggers
could garner in nine innings, in spite
OF II nice swats, including two home
runs, was four measley tallies while
Rupert calked up Is on the same num-
Der of hits.
Things looked fine for just one out.
Wells famed the first man up. Then
the ball blew McClay oozed one
down to Cornell that looked certain
out but the ball struck fmade-to-
order knoll and bounded two feet
over the dimunative second baseman' 5
head. Wells walked the next man up.
Then Siffert, Caldwell third baseman,
fielded nice grounder and wheeled
to third to nail McClay. Chapman
failed to cover the bag and before
Siffert could collect his wits, the bat
ter rested safely on first
Wells Hits Evans.
Evans came up. He was to pitch
for Boise the next day and Wells
took long look at him and then
planted the ball snugly in Evans mid
ribs. McClay scored Johnson came
to bat, took a healthy poke at the ball
and it sailed gleefully out of the lot.
Three runs scored ahead of him. An;
sell famed and the inning was over.
1t was Johnson's only hit of the game.
In the second inning, Rupert scored
three more runs. Other tallies came
in practically as Rupert felt like exer-
cising themselves. In the seventh in
ming, Johnson relieved Wells and per-
formed fairly creditably. Two runs
were made off him when Ansell lifted
one out of the lot.
Locals Get Two Homers.
Caldwell runs came late in the game
as the result Of clean hitting. Two
home runs are credited to the locals,
Siffert and Coffey each drawing one.
Coffeys four Dagger caused some
merriment in the crowd when it rolled
through a broken slab in the outer
garden wall and Ruperts left fielder
retrieved it by disappearing through
one Aperture and reappearing through
another. Both long swats came with
no one on base and the two hits netted
exactly tow runs.
Zweifel of Rupert made no effort to
extend himself with the lead that his
team gave him in the first inning. The
day was too cold for good baseball and
both teams were rather listless,
with an anxiety TO pet the
exhibition over just as
soon as possible. 1t must be said,
however, that Rupert, like Burley, has
a real ball team. Nothing short of
good fortune or a professional team
of considerable ability could hope to
give them good exhibition.

WAR RECORD OF LEVIATHAN
Monster Transport Carried Many
Thousands of Soldiers to

The giant transport Leviathan, fol-

Dor with Gen. Pershing and troops of
the First division, brought to close
her important service in helping win
the war. The big ship, after being
reftted for passenger service, is to be
turned back to the United States ship
ping board, the agency which seized
1t when the United States entered the
war. While the future Of the ship
is uncertain, 1t is reported that she
will be assigned to American passen-
ger trade between New York and
Liverpool, with possible extension in
the future of a service to Hamburg.
The Leviathan, formerly the Water
land, the second largest ship in the
world, was interned in New York by
the Germans in 1914 She was will

than $1,000,000. After being recon

was assigned as transport, and
during and since the war made 10
round trips on the Atlantic carrying
total of 1S5,500 soldiers, of whom
9S,321 were carried overseas through
submarine infested seas. She was al
ways a mark for U-boats, but her
speed and the armament with which
she was equipped saved her.
