DAYS OF 40 F1OLDUP TURNS
INTO REALISTIC EPISODE AS
UPSET STAGE INJURIES TWO

FLAGSTAFF, July 6.--More realism
than was specified in the script, anC
more cussedness than was suspected oi
the mules, turned a stage" hold -ur
into sure enough overturned stage
and painfully injured two actor pas
sengers, in the historical parade which
opened the last of the days of 40 cele-
bration here yesterday.
Frank Richmond, sitting beside the
driver, was hurled dozen feet when
the frightened mules bolted and the
stage upset. He landed head foremost
on a pile of rocks and was rendered
unconscious. Physicians who attended
him said tonight that he is expected
to be out of danger in a few days.
Frank Hanley, one of the occupants
of the coach, was bruised, but not Sc
riously injured.
Governor G. w. p. Hunt, punching a
burro pack Immediately ahead of the
stage, was a "close up" witness of the
accident.
And all the time E. E. Kunselman,
staff photographer for a news real
weekly, was turning the crank.
1T was the most realistic scene I've
shot in a long time," he said after

The parade lived up to all expecta-
tions by providing the outstanding
feature of the last days program, but
proved top-heavy at an unexpected
turn in the road.
An old Concord coach, riddled with
bullet holes, creaked and ratified down
City Park lane at 1890 o'clock this
afternoon, with full load of mail and
passengers for Fort Valley.
"Rimmy Jim" Giddings, one of the
best known cattlemen of Coconino
county, a moon faced. bullet headed
man, with huge pair of gray .walrus
mustaches, specially raised for the oc-
casion, sat on the drivers box. He
knew there was to be hold -up-led
by his old friend Lee Doyle, who, when
not engaged as a bandit, accepts money
as a guide-and Immediately after

What he didn't know was that the
bandits would jump him at vantage
point, not previously rehearsed. Meth
er did the mules. They hadn't been re-
hearsed, either Perhaps real forty
miner mules, accustomed to hold-ups,
would have taken road agents more as
matter of course.
So "Rimmy jim" Giddings wheeled
unsuspectingly around the turn of a
rocky ledge, murmuring to his mules
the soothing Establishments that mule
skinners are supposed to murmur, when
they desire to be realistic and the rob-
Der band of his old friend Lee Doyle
cut loose with their ambuscade.
Lacking a cue, the mules took it
distinctly amiss, but by heightening
the wave length of the Establishments
and tightening up the reins, "Rimmy

That was too much for the mules, that

the injured by Drs. e. A. Miller and

the spectators. Others in the coach

Mr.. Douglas and associates came
into ownership of the group of claims
in the Aravaipa district a year ago

of the ore was made in a mill OPP

the mine was started, blocking out
the ore bodies preparatory for milling.
The principal values of the ore are

to the smelter at Ell Paso.
