SUSTAINS BROKEN |LEG WHEN MOTOR GAR |PLUNCES INTO DITCH l MESA, Sept. 5-Wm. H. Peterson or the Mesa service station sustained a broken leg and minor bruises about | 10. 30 Saturday night when the car he was driving left the pavement and plunged into ditch at the turn in the Chandler road on the Baseline. two miles south of Mesa. His young est son, Archie, 8 years of age, who was the only other occupant of the car, escaped serious injury but suf- fered number of painful bruises.
 Peterson was on his way to his home on the Chandler road, two miles north of Chandler. when the accident happened. Interested with his son he failed to notice the turn in the pave 1. | stead of negotiating the turn the car continued on off the pavement an l into the ditch. Peterson was braced against the stearing wheel, clutch and brake but the force of the inn pact threw his legs against the instru- ment board, breaking the lert leg just below the knee.
 The break in the leg was unusually bad and it was feared for a time t1at amputation might be necessary. Re- ports from the Community hospital where the patient was taken imme- diately after the accident, Monday evening said that he was resting g easily and that there was little or no doubt but that the injured leg would be saved.
 Peterson is associated with his brother Steve Peterson in the owner
 ship and management of the Mesa service station on West Main street.

 Heretofore the company's business | f.aee ra L. ~ea~l
 up all of Mr. Villagers time and hc
 has been unable to give Mesa city
 business any attention whatever ex-
 cept in specific cases where farm : property trades have included city property here, and the need of good man for this place has been felt for some time.
 For some IS years prior to 1912 when Mir. De Fries came to Arizona , he managed a large co-operative mercantile business in central sSah which included various properties
 such as real estate, sawmilling. sheer and cattle raising and other enter
 prises gradually accumulated by tht
 business.
 There is do doubt about the con
 fidence of the Utah-Arizona Lanc r company in Mesa and this district
 the desirability of the city for home: , and the vast opportunities of tho
 district in fruit, vegetable, cotton ana
 hay raising as well as dairying ane
 it is backing up this confidence witt T action and the right kind of service. f Alma to open Monday Preparations are now under way at the Alma school west of Mesa fol 2 the opening of that institution or :. next Monday, Sept. 12, at the sam' E time the Mesa High and city schools
