MINER IN UNITED VERDE
KILLED BY SULPHUR SMOKE
w. w. OhOOb I !,
Superintendent.

A peculiar accident happened at the
United Verde mine on Friday night,
and for few moments, the lives Of
at least is men were endangered.
Luckily, but a single fatality resulted,
o. E. Garcia being overcome by the
sulphur fumes and dying before he
could be taken to the hospital.
Garcia and ID other men were
working on the 1850 level Of the mine
when round of shots was fired on
the 1900 level. 1t is supposed that a
quantity of ulphur-bearing dust was
ignited by the blast, in fact this is the
only possible assumption, for imme-
diately after the round was fired the
adjacent workings were filled with
dense smoke so heavily charged with
sulphur that breathing was impossible.
Garcia took the shortest possible
way to the shaft when the smoke
poured out on the 1850 level, his COM
panions going around another way.
He ran directly into the gas cloud
before he could reach the shaft. The
other men in the gang suffered more
or less from fumes, but none was ov-
ercome and none sustained any serious
injury.

COUNTRY DOINCS

A fine, big, happy crowd enjoyed
a great big time at the Morgan barn
dance, in Garland Prairie, last Satur-
day night. There were anyway one
hundred couples dancing. And such a
good time! They came from Will
iams and Flagstaff, and all over the
country. You should see Ed KEGS
Ter, Charlie Burton, ST Campbell and
the rest of 'em go for the roasting
ears, sandwiches, coffee, cake and
doughnuts at the midnight lunch. So
far, no word has been received Of
anyone having foundered. The dance
was the event of the season, and it
will not happen again until next year.
The next country dance will be when
they have the Red Lake fair, at the
school house, on Friday evening, Sep
tember 28th.
Mrs. Mont Anderson last Monday
thought her time had come, when
lightning struck the house in which

knocked the stove down, cut hole in

wall afire. The shock dazed Mrs. An

Foreman Harry Lowell, who was
working at the mill, and Ace Gren-
shaw, who was standing in the door
way. Mrs. Anderson threw a couple
of pals of water on the blaze, which
put it out. But for the prompt action
of Mrs. Anderson no doubt both the
building and contents would have
been destroyed.

THE VOLSTEAD LAW GOES
ON THE NATIONAL PARK

Acts of congress and the park reg
uIations made pursuant thereto, pro-
hibit the bringing of alcoholic bever-
ages into national park, and it is the
sworn duty of all park superinten-
dents to enforce this law.
Under the 18th amendment to the
constitution of the United States and
the so-called "Volstead Act,' the
transportation of alcoholic beverages
is prohibited unless written per-
nit is first obtained from the United
States prohibition enforcement com-
missioner. The superintendent of this
park has been officially advised that
it is his sworn duty as a federal en-
ploye, to enforce, within the limits
of Grand Canyon national park, the
provisions Of all the laws and regula-
tions pursuant to the 18th amend
ment and the .sVolstead Act"
The superintendent Of this park
having sworn to uphold the constitu-
ton of the United States and to ex-
ecute its laws, has no choice but to
perform his duty, and, regardless of
personal opinions, he proposes to en-
force to the best of his ability with
the park forces, the laws and regula-
tions, including those above referred
to. In the performance of these du-
ties, it is expected that law-abiding
citizens of, and visitors to, Grand Can
yon national park will assist the su-
pe1intendent to the full extent of their
powers.
There has been some evidence of the
illegal transportation to and the pos
session of alcoholic beverages within
the limits of this park. This possibly
may have been in ignorance of the
laws and regulations. 1t has there
fore been deemed advisable to publish
this notice.

If the spinal column is crooked and
is not Strengthened, there is always
trouble. Because wherever there is a
crooked place in the spinal column
there is a vertebrae pressing upon a
nerve. And a nerve that is pressed
upon by a bone is not able to ca rry
its proper amount of nerve force. Aud
when a nerve does not carry its prop
er amount of nerve force, then some
part of the body does not get its nee
essary power to work with. This re-
suits in trouble in that part which
does not get its necessary power to-
work with. Because each organ of the
body needs power in order to do its
work, just as an automobile must
have power to run, or just as an cleo
trio washing machine must have pow
er to run.
Pressure upon a nerve shuts off the
power which should travel along that
nerve, just as pressure upon a garden
hose shuts off the water which should
travel along the hose.
Chiropractic adjustments gradually
remove the pressure from the nerves
and thus the nerves are enabled to
carry the nerve force in proper
amount to the organs of the body,
and then the organs work properly
they do not know how to work any
other way than properly when they
have sufficient power to work with.

In comparing these scores please
remember that it is the smallest score

person who has the straightest spinal
column so far is the first one IN this

of deviation from the normal.
Fortunately nature allows for a
small amount of deviation by SUR

is splendid theme for an Eastern
Shore Longfellow and another Hia-
watha. Who would dare call our
Eastern Shore Indians "Savages ?"
In 1878 George Fox, the great
founder of the English Quakers,
crossed the ocean to preach to his ex-
lie people in Maryland. There were
many Of his sect on the Eastern Shore
and his journal tells many interesting
incidents concerning the Indians. One
is Of council meeting by fire light
and an Indian dance. The principal
men of the village at a set hour met
at the "lodge" of the chief. They
smoked the peace pipe; then after a
feast served by the shy brown maid
ems, the fire which had been but a
small one was made larger and larger.
The women retired into the shadows;
the red men Invested themselves of
their red and white paint, of the
stuffed hawk and strings of copper
that formed their head-dress, of their
gorgeous wampum belts and quivers
and nantes of raccoon skins; then
with the moon and stars looking cold
ly down and spreading yellow
stream Of light across the grass, with
the forest of tall pines as back
ground and the murmuring river as
an accompanist, the weird dance was
on. The wild songs and wilder dance,
the fantastic mummeries, the sudden
RACES, the sudden laughter, the great
fire with it's ring of painted warriors,
the sleepless sentinels; the wide
marshes that could not be crossed by
night, the leaves that rustled so loud
ly beneath the football of all except
the natives-this and the hour. mid
night, created a truly Indian atmos-
phere-one that can never be initial
ed. Another story in the journal of
Mr.. Fox concerned the Emperor and
the royal treatment he received while
visiting at various "lodges". The
emperor Wynicasso has some deeds
and treaties that can still be found
upon the old Princess Anne Record.
The journal also contained an account
of King Dunhill of the Pocomokes
and of an "Assateague Queen" in her

TO THE ORIGINAL NHABlTANT OF
THE EASTERN SHORE--THE INDIAN!
Old Home Prize Essay-By Margaret Bowen

extinct race, to whom we are indebt-
ed for all the inherited glories of our
Mother Eastern Shore.
The first Indian ever seen and men,
toned in history was in our own Wor-
cester county, three hundred and
ninety-nine years ago in 1924, by the
Florentine navigator - Verrazzano.
This was only 80 years after the dis
covery of America by Columbus and
long before the settlement at James
town and Plymouth Rock. Verraz-
zano had reached the coast in the
latitude of North Carolina and skirted
the continent Northward and eventu-
ally entered an inlet and anchored his
barge, "Dauphine" in the Synepuxent
Bay. Verrazzano named the country
arcadia" because of the beauty of
the trees.
When he landed with his company,
a man came to the shore to see what
people they were. He stood hesitat-
irg and ready for flight. He watched
them closely but did not permit him
self to be approached. He was hand
some, tall, with black hair fastened
back in knot and was of olive col
or. Finally he was coaxed to within
about five fathoms, showing burning
stick as if to offer as fire. Verrazza-
no made fire with powder, flint and
steel and the man trembled all over
with terror; they fired a shot; the
man stopped as if astonished and
prayed and prayed, worshipping like a
monk lifting his finger towards the
sky and pointing to the ship and the
sea. He appeared to be worshipping
them.
Thus the explorers sized up the In
dian; and the Indian that evening,
probably, called a council meeting by
fire light in order to discuss the
strange visitors from the sea. But
here from the first, was discovered
the hospitable heart of the Red Man
bringing the white man fire and well
coming him with benediction. And
' so hospitality to the stranger has al
i ways been an outstanding character
istic of people from the Eastern
Shore.
The Aborigines Of the Virginia and
Maryland Eastern Shore were of en-
ti1ely different decent. Ours were
from the north" of the Iroquois lands
and those south of the Powhattan
tribes across the Bay. The latter
were of higher status and more war
like but both showed friendship for
the new owners who were finally to
crowd them out of their ancestral
; lands.
Captain John Smith, the chivalrous
Virginian explorer, sailed up our side
of the Chesapeake in 1908. He tells
of the kind reception and entertain
ment by Kickotunk, the chieftain at
the end of our Peninsula and farther
up by Debodevan, King of Accomac.
Captain Smith was the first white
man to sail up the Pocomoke,, having
entered it's mouth for drinking water.
He writes that the Indians on it's
banks first showed excitement, which
lie took to be hostility but when they
fe und he was for peace, they became
peaceable and kind and ready to sup
ply his needs. So it was everywhere
in the land of the Evergreens. Here

We who are living in Maryland at
the present day can hardly think of
America as an unknown land, but to
it's first settlers it was more unknown
than the heart of Africa is to us.
This vast unexplored territory was
claimed by various European powers
but England was the only one that
had established a permanent colony
as early as 1910. In 1923 King James
! granted to the first Lord Baltimore
part of southeastern Newfoundland.
The climate. proved too severe for the
colonists, so another charter was
granted for what is now known as
Maryland. Thus, territory neither
bought nor obtained as a gift but
simply "found" was bartered between
royal lords on the other continent, as
though they. had legal right to it all.
No one had the slightest suspicion
that the land might already be owned
and governed by natives of the will
derness. But when settlements were
started and the adventures and
homeseekers were trying to claim
their so-called possessions, formid-
able barrier arose-for they were
trespassing upon the hunting grounds
of the American Indian.
Today when we think Of the Red
Man our minds naturally revert to
the past, when our country was an I'M
explored land, roamed and ruled by
those VINO are quietly vanishing into
the West, deeper and deeper until on
ly history will tell of their existence.
The Aborigines of our native PENN
sula, the owner through dim centu-
ries of their own native land. loved it
as dearly and periodically as our
splendid men and women do today. All
was dreamy peace before the white
man came. Oh, they had their wars
and massacres even then, but the race
as whole was stirred and their life
flowed smoothly and swiftly as the
waters of the dark Pocomoke.
The Sennels of the Evergreens had
their lovers and dreamers long before
the white hordes invaded these shores.
Both the poet and the philosopher
may find themes for the imagination
in the thought of the copper skinned
Gweller who once sailed our beautiful
streams and hunted the romantic for
ests and courted the pretty Indian
madens as gallantly as the college
youth Of today. And alas for the pa
thos of it for these were they who
welcomed the invaders to our shores
and were to remain the friends of
our ancestors until the dusky tribes
faded away like the leaves of the will
|erness in autumn. Slowly they have
receded into the land of the Setting
Sun--farther and farther until only
the silhouette of a slim bent figure is
seen riding a worn out Indian pony.
The sun sinks lower and they become
