WOMAN DIES FR0M INJURIES WHEN
 STRUCK BY JAR ON 4 C|TY STREET

Mrs. Christina Theis, aged about 50, died at Mercy hospital at 7 o'clock last night as a result of in juries received when she was struck by light motor truck of the Ari- zona Bus company on North Mt. Vernon avenue, an hour and half earlier.
 That the tragedy was the result of pure accident was the theory of Deputy County Attorney Westervelt who investigated the case last night A merry party of workers from Fort Whipple, exchanging jests or their way home from work was plunged into the deepest sorrow in the twinkling of an eye. Carl Theis, also employed at the post, had step lped out of the employees bus which had stopped at the corner nearest his home His wife fingered, and as l she dismounted, turned to fling a testing remark to her friends. She then turned to hasten across the street after MT. Theis, and saw bear 1! ing down on her the converted tour Ii ing car, being driven by Bert My berg. Indecision cost Mrs. Theis her life. She made several abortive attempts to select a route to safety, turning one way and another, with Myberg desperately striving to stop, and at the same time to avoid the woman. One of the front lenders struck Mrs. Theis, knocked her down, and both the front and rear wheels passed over her body.
 Myberg stopped his car after it had passed about foot beyond the body of Mrs. Theis.
 Josephine Lacy, also employed at the post laundry, and an occupant of the bus, and Mrs. E. H. McIlvain, who was on her front porch nearby, both signed statements yesterday afternoon, giving their accounts of the accident. Both declared that Myberg was going slowly, his car was going downhill, and that the only reason he could not stop sooner was that the street was slippery from the recent shower.
 Both these witnesses described the confusion that overlook the unfor tunate woman when she saw her dilemma, and tell of the happ cries and laughter Of the party in the Fort Whipple bus from which the two had just alighted.
 Myberg, thoroughly shaken by the tragedy, did not know of the subse- quent death of Mrs. Theis until he had returned from a little ranch near Thumb Butte, where he hurried after the accident to bring in Frank, the 13-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. Theis. Manager R. w. Byrns of the bus company, Myberg's employer, also shaken by the fatal mishap, was attempting last night to gather every fact in connection with Mrs Theis' injury and sent Myberg after the young boy.

IN THE
 SHORF-LIVED FEUD

William s. Bourne, killed in gun battle with James Mcclure, IS miles south of Wagoner, Tuesday night was 49 years of age and unmarried so far as anyone knows here
 He was the general manager of the Independence Mining, Develop ment and Recovery company, Gal lup, N. M., corporation. He was as sociated with William S. Bickel, a leading merchant of Gallup, and R. L. Roberts, who has been sheriff of Mckinley county, New Mexico, for several terms.
 James Mcclure, aged 36 years, was miner, and at one time leased and worked some claims near the Inde- Ipendence. He was volunteer sol dier in the world war. On his return he patented the ranch where the tragedy occurred, taking it up il order to get title to the spring that supplies the only water for a con- siderable territory thereabout. Bourne has brother, Robert Bourne, who lives somewhere ir New Mexico.
 Mrs. Mcclure, the possible cause of the tragedy, is woman oi medium stature, rather dark and sturdy, with black eyes and hair Cheerful at all times, a good cook and willing worker. She was hope ful and always looking for something better.
 Bourne had considerable mining experience and an unbounded faith in the Independence mine that usual ly consumes the prospector who goes to the hills to seek his fortune He had pictured great bodies of rich ore, bearing silver, gold and copper in the big veins on the Independence claims and thought that even their solitude and isolation from transpor- tation could not keep them from making a wonderful camp at the foot of rugged old Silver mountain. Some others joined him in his hopes and some doubted his rightness of mind.
 Mcclure and his wife believed in Bourne. They believed in his hopes and ambitions that the mines would make good They believed in his theory that they would some day get the money necessary to develop and equip the property They stuck by him for five years
 Mcclure took a trip to Denver. He stayed a month He was coming back He met his wife roughly clad as the. people of the hills go, on her way in a desert country for the mail. He felt peeved at her, she said. He went on to camp and she went for the mail. He arrived at camp and went to work cutting hay. She came back. He saw her, sunftanned and weary, going with the mule to turn it out to graze. Did he feel a jealousy toward Bourne, whom he found in camp evidently not hard at work, and letting the woman go for the mail and take the mule to graze? Or did he have a disillusion- ment of his hopes and dreams of wealth which had so often been pie tured to him by Bourne, and did he then and there decide to slay the man who had caused him his disil- lusionment? Did the disappoint- ments of the past five years drive the man to this desperate act? Or was 1t jealousy?
 Mrs. Mcclure says No" But other people ill the district, accord ing to Grant Carter and Sterling Hummer, say Yes"

A Little Child Shall
Lead Them
BY ANNA w. WAGNER.

A little sufferer lay;
She had been wounded in an acci-
dent.
That had occurred that day.
Seated by her bedside.
Was a man. head bowed. IN prayer
She was a child OF the slums-
While he was a millionaire.
He had never seen much suffering,
Had never known a care;
He had been the cause Of the acci-
dent
The reason he was there.
But that little child in the hospital,
Had brought him TO God that day
For that was the only time in his
life.
He was ever known to pray.
In time his prayer was answered.
The most eminent surgeon was
found.
The operation was successful,
And the shattered bones made
sound.
Now. she does not live in the slums
any more.
But in a beautiful bungalow.
Bought for her folks by the mill
llonaire.

'Neat But Not Gaudy" Should

NEW YORK. May 2s-It has been

remark. However, he was partly
right. Even the devil may lend the
Fashion world good advice for
when ne painted his tail red he is
supposed to have said, "Neat-but
not gaudy."
II is often difficult for the woman
who wishes to comply with the con-
stantly changing demands of fash
ion to distinguish the difference Je-
tween clothes that are "chic" and
clothes that are gaudy.
II one can afford the imports or
the highly priced American gowns.
one has no worries of appearing
too hashily dressed. for the work
manshlp and materials Of these
gowns are so exquisite that they
quite overcome any overriding OF
color or extremity of lines.
II Is the cheaper duplicate of
these higher priced gowns that one
must beware Of. They are often
liable to become grotesque in their
accentuated lines and colors when
made up in inferior materials.
II is often a good plan when one
has moderate means for dressing
TO select gowns that are not too ex-
treme and to rely upon accessories
such as chains. parasols, pocket
books. scarfs, etc, for their chic"
French women have this kDack
OF selecting harmonizing novelties

almost as much thought TO the selec-
don Of the pocket handkerchief as

that has achieved for them the dis

Summer Novelties
Among the most fascinating OF the
summer novelties are the new para

of them contain powder puffs and
hp-sticks; others are used for carry
ing perfumed candy drops. which
perfume the breath and still others
are but cases for cigarettes.
There Is a model favored at the
races that has a dogs head carved
of wood as a handle. The mouth
opens and shuts and is made to hold
Milady's cigarette when she is not
smoking. Most OF these novelty
parasols are short, reaching scarcely
