CAUSES
EMPLOYEES DEATH

PHOENIX, Sept. 15.-Andrew Mer-
frederick. an employe of Twohy Bros
Construction company, in county
road camp a mile west of Coldwater.
died early this morning a few mo-
ments after his skull had been frac-
iured by blow from revolving
crane, unloading gravel from railroad
cars.
Witnesses of the accident stated
that Merrederick was leaning against
the foundation of the crane and that
both Roy Edwards, who operated the
crane, and G. W. Watson shouted a
warning 10 him as the heavy machine
swung around. Merrederick did not
move from the crane and received a
crushing blow on the side of the head
He died before medical aid reached
him.
Fellow workers Of Merrederick sta.-
ed their belief that the former after
taking his position near the crane had
dozed 10 sleep and did not hear the
warning shouts of Watson and Ed
wards.
After an investigation this morning
Coroner Henry J. Sullivan ordered an
inquest to be held tomorrow after
noon al 4 o'clock in the east precinct
justice court The body was brought
TO the ]. T Whitney mortuary.
MeTrederick was about 80 years OF
age and was a resident of Gilbert. He
is survived by a wife and one child,
according to reports.

FREIGHT WAS FIVE
TIMES COST OF OIL

FHOENIX, Sept. 15.-Director Win
gar, OF the commission of state insti-
tutions, would rather own a railroad
than gusher. and he has the figures
and documents to prove the wisdom
of his preference. The documents
consist Of freight bills on two carloads
of fuel oil for the use of the hospital
for the insane.
The cost of the oil at Burkburnett,
Tex, was s203.0e. The freight On the
two shipments was $1,e3720. The
freight rate on oil at the time Of the
shipment was 60 IL cents though it
has since been reduced to "a cents.
There has been no change yet in
the rate on oil from the coast which
has always been enough higher in
this territory t, leave little choice be-
tween purchazing it in California and
the Mid-Continent field. So 1t -
expected that unless the rate from
the coast is lowered. the price of
coast oil will come down, though only
to a point at which there is still left
little choice between the Mid Contin-
ent field and the coast field.

has returned to Tombstone. Since
last February "Pelon" has been a:
work for some time on Tumacacori
Mission, near Nogales, which has just
been restored to as near its original
condition as it has been possible to
ID it. The dome has been restored
and new roof placed thereon The
trees close about have been cleared
off and now the place looks very
much like pictures made of it some
forty years ago. The work was done
under the direction Of Supt. Frank
Pinkley, and the money was cOntri-
buted by the U. S. Government, and
the Chambers Of Commerce of No
gales and Tucson. Tumacacori is
aow a sightseeing point and a camp

route and the military loop of the
Bankhead highway. "Pelon's" activi-

Peach Crop Here
No Full Failure
Says Henderson

Early reports to the effect that the
peach crop would be a complete fail
ure in this section of the state were
not well founded. Capt. w. d. Hen
derson, Seventh and Iowa, has the
evidence to prove chat Jack Frost
didn't register a Knockout blow. On
the east side of his house he has a
peach tree which is loaded with fruit,
especially on the south side, and the
quality is pronounced excellent.
Replying to an inquiry, Capt. Hen
derson said: mo, didn't use any
smudge or do anything else to keep
the buds from freezing. The tree is
between my house and the church
Immediately east of us but it is ex-
posed on the north. We have had
all the peaches we wanted for some
time. Our grape vines will also bear
abundantly this season.
On Monday, w. w. Yale, who lives
on the hill, on Eighteenth and Texas
wasN exhibiting some large Albertas,
which he picked from a tree on the
north side of his house. They were
of excellent quality and there were
quite a number on the tree. other
neighbors in that vicinity report
some peaches on every tree.
