STALLION COMES TO YAVAPAI FROM ARMY REhOUNT DEPARTMENT
CFrom Thursdays DaIlvl


 The government remount industry will be started in Yavapai county shortly following the arrival today of a pedigreed stallion, Epiphanes, which was shipped here by Col. A. N. Mcclure of the army remount service at Sacramento, for Dr. J. W.. Osburn. Dr. Osburn has received the papers on Epiphanes, which indi- cate his worth as a breeding stud. Arrangements have been made to conduct the service here in the in terests both of stockmen and the government, which is pursuing a policy of helping local committees of horsemen to raise the quality of their cavvies by the distribution of pedi- greed sires throughout the country.
 Epiphanes was born in 1917 and is the offspring of Honeywood out of Pure Rose. The sire is by Poly melus out of Honeybird and the dam by Orsini out of Rose of China. Among the stallion's next immediate progenitors are such famous animals in order as Cyllene and Maid Marian; Friar's Balsam and Marble, Or monde and Jongleuse and St. Carlo and China Rose.
 Following is the report and request received from Colonel Mcclure yes- terday:
 "Epiphanes is billed to you at Prescott and is being shipped to- day. Lieutenant Peter T. Carpen- ter, veterinary corps, U. S. army, who is a member of our office force here, has very kindly consented to accompany your horse and Chappa- qua, IT,, who goes to Glendale.
 q hope Lieutenant Carpenter will have the time to spend day or so with you and become acquainted.
 After the horse arrives, becomes accustomed to his new environments and sufficient time has elapsed for you to form an opinion of the horse we would be exceedingly glad for you to write us a letter telling us just what you think of him; what you think of the government breed ing scheme; whether or not in your opinion our work and the class of stallions we are providing will be a benefit to horse-users and horse in terests generally; and also whether or not in your opinion congress should provide reasonable apprepria- tions for carrying on this work. If our methods are sound and logical and the work will insure good re- suits, statements to this effect from directly interested are the best argument we can present to members of the appropriation com- mittee for necessary funds to, carry on the work"

 PHOENIX, Nov. 22. - w. H. Oliver of Los Angeles, engineer of the grand division of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway, assist ant to the chief engineer of the coast line of that road, and four division officers of that railway were killed when motor inspec- ton car overturned three miles north of Wickenburg, 40 miles northwest of here.
 In addition to those killed, sev- eral persons were injured, none of them seriously.
 The others dead are:
 William Matthie of Winslow, di- vision superintendent.
 H. C. Storey of Prescott, assist ant division superintendent.
 John A. Jaeger of Prescott, as- sistant division engineer.
 William Bowman of Wicken- burg, roadmaster for the Prescott Phoenix district.
 The accident happened, accord ing to those on board the car, as the car was rounding a curve. An axle on the front truck broke, they said, and the car plunged down an eight-foot embankment, turning over at least once.
 The four division officials were instantly killed but MT. Oliver died later on the train that was bring ing the dead and injured to Phoe- nix.
 There were ten men in the party, which was on an inspection trip from Prescott to Phoenix, having left the former city at S:45 o'clock this morning. ...4t ,5s

Prescott was mortified yesterday afternoon at the news of the four fold tragedy near Wickenburg. A report of the accident was made by officials at the local Santa Fe of fices to the Journal-Miner immedi- ately upon the arrival by telegraph of details sufficient to base the facts
 At first it was believed that As sistant Engineer Jack Jaeger had es- capped the accident as it was believed he had left the official car at Con- gress Junction and aimed to return to Prescott by train. This belief was strengthened by the delay in any report from the scene of the wreck about the finding of Mir. Jaeger's body, which was only discovered later at some distance from the track.
 Roy Chambers was believed to have been in the crash, as he rode the car into Prescott, but had left it here, the point where the trackage under his care ends, and had been replaced by Bowman, who was one of the victims.
 The Santa Fe offices gladly gave the Journal-Miner facts relative to the wreck, and it was possible to give quick and accurate information to the many who called this office.
 The. official car carrying the ten persons either killed or injured when the wreck occurred about 2:30, left this city at 8:45 southbound on a regular trip of inspection. The car is the usual gasoline motored track-equipped machine and is said to have been capable of developing a speed in excess of 60 miles an hour
 The fact there were no witnesses to the wreck made it impossible to ascertain the speed with which the car was travelling when the accident occurred. The cause of the crash was attributed at the Santa Fe of fices to a broken axle or frame, and it was understood the car had w,hirl- ed through the air several times be- fore crashing to the ground, bury ing some of the party under it.
 At or near Congress Junction, the official car passed south-bound ex- tra stock train. The accident took place three miles north of Wicken- burg and at a spot almost exactly on the line between Yavapai and Mari copa counties. The stock train reached the scene of the accident a short time after it had happened, and the crew stopped to investigate The train was then rushed into Wickenburg and broken up, the en- zine and caboose being coupled to- gether to make up a special. A doc tor and party were sent out from Wickenburg and quickly took both dead and injured to that place whence they were rushed to Phoenix in the caboose of the abandoned stock train.
 At Prescott, preparations had been made for rushing physicians and others to the scene. Some relatives of the dead and injured men were gathered by Joe Metz and others of the Santa Fe force and taken to the southbound train at o'clock.
 Dr. H. T. Southworth, the com pany physician here was called as was Lester Ruffner. C. H. McLane in his capacity as coroner was at the o'clock train en route to the scene of the accident when word was re- ceived that the bodies had been taken to Phoenix, outside the county, and so, did not go to take official charge.
 Mrs. J. A. Jaeger, widow of Jack Jaeger, was at matinee at the Elks theater when word was received of

Jack Jaeger was 61 years old. He was born, according to the best ob- tainable information, at Jacksboro, Mo. He lived in Kansas and other parts of the middle-west and was in terested in some large projects in Colorado prior to coming to Pres colt in 1898 to become engineer on the old Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoe- nix railway line.
 He was regarded as a highly capable engineer and worked on the

car. lie made signs 10 the man Wltn the cattle to take his gloves off. He couldn't talk. I think it was the jar that killed him. There wasn't any blood, and no wounds that you could see.
 "We took the bodies put from under the car" The eyes of the speaker were dark with the memory of that scene, the bodies of men pin ned and crushed beneath the weight of broken steel and iron. Dick Storey was the first to be removed.
 He was pinned across under the middle of the car. He was cut thru here''-the speaker placed his hand on his left hip-"and the flesh stuck out. Yes, he was dead. We lacked the car up, and took Oliver out. He was alive. His right leg from the knee down was smashed frightful His left leg was broken in a couple of places. His right wrist was broken, and the blood spurted up out of it We bound 1t up tight to stop the blood. He died between Wickenburg and Phoenix.
 Jaeger was alive when we put him in the caboose. He kept trying to talk and he couldn't He died be- fore we reached Wickenburg. That's about three miles; he must have lived about Is minutes"
 At Wickenburg the stock train had been uncoupled and the engine and caboose sped back to the scene of the tragedy, bearing a doctor and a nurse. The last of the four men was removed from under the car as the train returned.
 Bowman was pinned behind the hind wheel" Martin Gratz con tinued. His face was pinned into bank of sand, with the wheel on his shoulder. He was dead. We had an awful time getting him out We dug the bank away with sticks. We had to jack the car up and pull his arm up over his head.
 "Matthie was pinned under the Ipilot-that's the cow-catcher. They're on motor cars the same as on loco motives. We had to raise the car It was awful His head was split straight down from the top to the chin. It was just a mass of pulp" At this juncture the train arrived and with it a small motor-car used by section bosses. Kline was walk ing around. Roy Stevenson also had begun to walk around. He seemed stunned by the accident.
 He walked around, and looked and laughed. He saw the motor or the track and walked up to it and laughed at it. He got all right after he was taken to Phoenix.
 We loaded them i'll the caboose There was doctor and a woman nurse there. We took them to Wick enburg, where we waited five min utes, and then pulled out for Phoe- nix" The stockman stayed at Wick enburg, and Martin Gratz returned to Prescott on the night train. Last night he spoke some of the way the car went over the embanknent. "The front axle broke" he said. When the frame hit the track, 1t must have spun the car end over end. The car must have turned over two times. It couldn't have gone so far without either flying or turning over at least twice, end over end. The wheels rolled down the track almost 90 feet before they stopped. The car was right side up on those four men, and facing Prescott when it stopped"

Word of the death of Superintend- ent Dick Storey and Engineer Jack Taeger, in the motor car accident three miles this side of Wickenburg yesterday afternoon fell like bomb shell on the Santa Fe offices here. Then a pail of grief settled down. Anxious questions and answers pass ed from lip to lip all over the city. And at the Santa Fe offices, wives and daughters, fathers and mothers, sons and brothers of those who had gone, or who might have gone, in the fated motor car, pressed into the place demanding word of their loved ones.
 Despite the confusion caused by the death of two of Prescott's best liked men, with three other railroad officials, every effort was made to quiet the anxieties of those who, with tears in their eyes and fear clutching at their hearts, made de- mand for information. The pressing line of people made the most affect ing scene at the offices, and their anxious queries elicited immediate re- plies. Like soldiers who have seen war, those at the offices knew the inner fears of these people, relatives of their fellow-workers, and quieted them.

Sixty-three years ago, on October

will organize a celebration of its

Emery urges every Legionaire to
honor the memory of Theodore

That Legionaires of Minnesota

voiced in many letters received at
