ACCIDENT

Leman Mineer, son of MT. and Mrs. Joel Mineer met with a very serious and painful accident last Saturday at about 2. F. M.
 He was out on his fathers farm on the bench about a mile from his home with his brother and Allie Mineer's sons looking after some horses which were grazing on the grass there inside the field where there were grow ing crops. Two of the horses got over on the grain and Leman went to get them off. The horse, a black one kicked at Laman and missed him he then caught the horse and was betting him after which he passed behind him and gave another shew to try and get him off the grain. The horse kicked at him again and this time struck the boy in the fore head on the right side crushing his skull.
 He was brought home by Silas Jarvis, who was working in another field close by. Drs. Bouldin and Haywood were called and dressed the terrible wound, they removed several pieces of bone which had been broken from the skull.
 Little hope was entertained for his recovery as the wound was a terrible one and it was thought that he would not survive the shock, but at this writing al thought he is unconscious he is apparently doing pretty well al- though there is much uncertainty as to the outcome.
 The sympathy of all goes out to tbe anxious parents and all are hoping that he may yet come through alright.

MARRIED

A very happy event at the Jarvis home was the marriage of Mir. F. M. Whiting and Miss Susie Jarvis, July 18th at 4 P. M.
 The cermony was performed by President Levi s. Udall of the St. Johns Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ ofiLatter Day Saints.
 The bride is a daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Heber Jarvis of thls city and is one of St. Johns most estimable young ladies and has many friends who are rejoicing with her over her happiness.
 The groom is a son of MT. and Mrs. Charles Whiting. and a very enterprizing young man and has been a teacher for number of years both in the public schools and academy and high schools of St. Johns and Snowflake.
 After the cermony a bounteous feast was partaken of by the assembled guests.
 The HERALD joins with the host of friends in wishing them icy and success in the voyage of matrimonial bliss

Audon Pera, who for a long time has been suffering with a bad leg is again in the city. It was reported some time ago that he had undergone an operation and had his leg amputated. but this report was untrue as he IS now here and has both of lem and they were apparently doing their work alright.
 N. P. Duran informs us that the Cooley Lumber company sends him word that they could use any amount of men. He left today with 12 men from St. Johns to worB there.

MESA

The public is invited to attend a meeting Monday evening at the city hall plaza to hear discussions on the constitutional amendments to be voted on next September.
 July 4th the stork brought a fine boy to the home of Dr. Frank Brown.
 The grand jury of Maricopa county have been cleaning up??? Indictments were found for Jos. F. Robinson and J. J. Heeber for bigamy. The wives of each were taken before the grand jury. The men have not been located yet. It is reported they are in Mexico.
 Two indictments were brought against R. P. Jones for immoral conduct toward Miss Waller, daughter of Waller whom Jones accused of using the whip when he, Jones was taken from his home and maltreated. .
 The temperature has dropped. People can get a good nights rest by sleeping in a screen room with only sheet between them and the bed springs and no cover.
 It is expected that within six months or a year, work will be- gin on a $6, 900, 900 project power development in the construction of two dams at Mormon Flats, east of Mesa. 5O,000 horse power or two and a half times the a. mount now developed under the Roosevelt dam can be generated. Power will be furnished the h. spiration, Miama and Old Domin. ion mining companies.
 It is thought the revenue de- rived from the power will pay all construction expenses and also help pay cost of operating.
 Funeral services for Mrs. Mary E. Lillywhite were held in the 1st ward chapel Sunday. Mrs. Lilly white and family were residents of Alpine, Apache county in 1880 and 1881. Her husband, Joseph Lillywhite was a member of the first board of trustees in Alpine. The family moved from Alpine to Woodruff and then to Mexico.

 Dr. Junius Gibbons will be in St. Johns until August 1. after which he will go to Snowflake for a short time and from there he will go to Ajo about Septem- Der 1st.
 Snowflake is planning a big time for Pioneer Day July 24th. The day will be filled with inter- esting doing such as chariot racing, saving contest, horse racing bicycle racing. bull riding, calf tying, walking race and chuck wagon race, base ball tournament volley ball and many other inter- esting events will be pulled off, and of course big dances to make the day complete. One feature advertised appealed to us very much and that was that all per sons sixty or more years of age were honored with free tickets. To us this is a it should be, for we owe our respect to our fathers and mothers who have pioneered these lands and made it possible for the younger generation to enjoy many privileges that our parents did not and two much respect cannot be shown them. Dr. James E. Talmage, an Apostle of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and an educator and scientist of in ternational prominence will be in attendance at a three day confer ence of the St. Johns Stake July P. 23 and 24.
 Dr. Talmage, theologian, edu. cator, scientist and author is a native of England, coming to America in 1876. He commenced his education in B. Y. University Provo, Utah, later taking Bach elor of Science degree from Le- high University and later his Phd. degree from Illinois Weslyan, in the meantime doing advanced research work in John Hopkins University. In 1912 the, honorary degree of Doctor of Science was conferred on him by the Lehigh University. From 1884 to 1888 he occupied the chair of chemis- try in the B. Y. University, was president of University of Utah from 1894 to 1897 and after re- tirement from the presidency, held the chair 'cf geology until 1907. For many years Dr. | TalmaVe has been q conSultinn and mining Engineer and from 1891 to 1919 he served as director of the Deseret Museum.
 He is a fellow of the following Internationally known scientific socities: Royal Microscopical So- ciety, Great Britain; The Royal Scottish Geographical Society, the Geographical Societies of Great Britain and America; The Royal Society of Edinburgh and the American Association for the ad- vancement of Science.
 He is also member of the Philosophical Society of Great Britain.
 The visit of Dr. Talmage in St. Johns will be of great interest to church members as also to non church members because of his high standing in the field of learn ing. He is a broad minded schol- arly man whose sympathies ex- fond to all cIaScos and conditions
