HOLBROOK. LAST NIGHT.
Zl.
Two Men Are Hurled' .From' Top of
f Tank, But Not Seriously'Hurt Men
Have to Climb Out of Mine by the
Ladder Route.
Last evening what might have been a
very serloua accident, occurred near
the Holbrook shaft of the Copper
Queen mine. A car uponwhich a
tank of oil was loaded was being
backed up for use of the boilers of the
Holbrook, when In some unaccounta
ble manner It was tipped over and roll
ed down the hill bursting and allow
ing 'the contents to run out upon the
ground. There were two men on tne
car who were hurled to the ground and
slightly injured. They were taken to
the dispensary and their wounds- dres
sed., and they were sent home.
The turning of the car caused the
oil flow to the boilers of the Holbrook
hoist to be stopped, and of course the
engines had to be shut down, and the
work of hoisting was discontinued for
the night.
This morning a new supply of oil
was taken up to the mfae 'and the
work of hoisting was resumed. The
men working on the lower levels had
la rllmh out on the ladders when they
'came'off shift, and forborne of them
it was. a long and. hard, climb. ,

that imperilled a va3t foreign
trade. McClelten delivered
his valedictory to the, Ko'trae,

THE, .CITY JAIU.AGAIN
CONTRACTOR SCHWARTZ FINAL
LY PUTS PLUMBING IN SAN
ITARY CONDITION.
The Work Is Inspected by Marshal
..John Mullen, Who Accepts the
Same, and the Bill Will Probably Be
Ordered Paid at the Next Meeting
of the Council.
Atter many months,, the plumbing
work en the city jail has been proper
ly put in anc has been accepted, and
the contractor'3 bill will be paid.
No less than two committees from
the city council havve examined tne
work heretofore, and refused jto report
tavorably upon It or upon the bill. The
lat time a committee was appointed
Mr. Schwartz, the contractor, accom
panied the committee to the jail, and;
when the defects in the plumbing was
shown to him he calmed that it was
all right when he left It, and that the
defects had been caused by tne jail
contractor after he had turned it over.
The council refused to audit or pay
the bill until Mr. Schwartz had placed
tne plumbing in pertect condition. Ta
Mr. Schwartz refused to do, and the
matter has stood this way lor over
two months until today, when Mr.
Schwartz reconsidered his former de
clination, anc went to work and com
pleted the work according to plans
and specifications. When he had fin
ished the work he called in Marshal
Mullen, who inspected It and pro
nounced it satisfactory. At the next
meeting cf the council the bi 1 will
be ordered paid and the incident will
be closed.
Jail Breaker Caught.
An individual named Baker, about a
year ago broke into a harcware store
at Douglas. He was bound over In
the sum of $500, and placed in a box
car for safe keeping until morning.
During the night he escaped. The
sheriff learned a few days since that
Baker was in Silver City, and he has
telegraphed the officers there to ar
rest Baker and lock him up until he
can get requisition papers and go al
ter him. The sheriff went Xo Phoenix
this morning to got the papers from
Governor Brodle.
