Mr. S. L. Daniels the Mesa repre
sentative of the Tribune, suffered a
very painful accident last Friday, De
cember 6th, when the automobile in
which he was riding turned over and
pinned him beneath for a few seconds
and then righted itself upon its four
wheels again. The accident occurred
about three miles east of Phoenix on :
the McDowell road, while Mr. Daniels
was returning from Phoenix to Mesa.
Mr. Daniels suffered two broken ribs
on his right side, a bruised leg and
painful injuries to his shoulder and
spine. He was immediately taken to

pers may have their appetites appeas
ed by visiting the Fish house, 27 S.
Second street on Wednesday or Thurs
day night. Mr. Snell, proprietor of
this popular eating establishment and
news stand, says that he had so many
calls for the delectable chitterling, till
he decided to give over two nights
a week serving this southern dish.
Influenza Conquered —-Mr. H. H.
Rice, proprietor of the De Luxe Hotel,
37 South Second street, has produced
a new wrinkle in sleeping apartments.
The big, airy screen sleeping porch in
this hostelry that delighted so many
last summer has been transformed in
to an excellent sleeping tent. A
heavy canvas surrounds the screen
and you have a warm, comfortable
place to sleep and one that is guar
anteed to prevent influenza. This
place was designed for particular peo
ple—those who regard health as para
mount. If you would have the best
in sleeping quarters, see Mr. Rice to
day. Thirty-seven South Second street
is the place. De Luxe Hotel is the
name. You can’t miss it.
Miss Fish Better —The condition of
Mrs. Charles Fish is Bteadily improv
ing and we hope to report her com
plete recovery very soon.
Influenza Maybe— Mr. Will Smith,
353 West Sherman, was forced to give
up his work last Monday and go to
bed. He felt symptoms of the “flu”
but was not sure he had a genuine
case of it. We hope that his fears
were groundless and that no further
symptoms of the disease will be felt.

Bessie Mathews, who has been a resi
dent of Douglas, Ariz., for some time,
arrived in Phoenix on the Ist instant.

Rev. R. H. Herring at his residence,
113 South Second street. Mr. and Mrs.
Killman have purchased the magnifi

818 South Montezuma avenue, and will
occupy this residence in the next few
weeks. At present they are staying at
the residence of Mrs. Brown, 109 West

C. Stewart, who left here several
months ago for a government training
camp, returned to the city on last
Monday night . He has been in train
ing at Camp Funston preparing for
over-seas duties. Since the signing
of the armistice no soldiers are need
ed “over there” and the government
gave Mr. Stewart an honorable dis
charge. He says that he was anxixous
to get a shot at the Huns and really
wanted to see France. His mother,
Mrs. A. Stewart, 238 West Jackson i
street, is delighted to have her boy
home again and we have reasons to
believe that he is GLAD to be here.

ing Mrs. W. A. Brown on South Eighth

Brown’s. They may spend the winter

show signs of improvement, will re

woodie was employed by the govern
ment. She is a first-class cook and
will accept employment in that line.
Harvey Curtis Not Dead— A letter
received from Harvey Curtis, who was
discharged from the army on account
of poor vision, states that he is not
dead yCt and to prove it, will return
here soon. Following is an excerpt
from his letter: “I wish to advise my
friends, in and out of Phoenix, that I
am not dead, as reported, but had one
of the greatest battles that was ever
fought witli that mighty champion, in
fluenza. I was confined to my bed
for one month and a half, but now am
glad to say, that by the great power
of the Almighty, I am able to be up
and about and shall return y> Phoenix
soon.” Harvey Curtis, 626 So., Bonnie
Brae, Los Angeles, Cal.
December Crisis Here —Mr. J. W.
Snell, the popular newsdealer at 27
South Second street, wants you to
know that the Xmas number of the
Crisis is here. He says that you will
have to hurry if you want a copy of
this magazine, for they are going like
the proverbial hot cakes. During the
past few weeks Mr. Snell has experi
enced some difficulty in getting his
papers. Many customers have been
inconvenienced and a lot of explana
tion was necessary. The fault was
with the government, whose transpor
tation facilities were inadequate, and
Mr. Snell wishes to be exempted from
further abuse. Adequate transporta
tion facilities are now available and
you can get your "home paper” every
week at Snell’s. Today he has left a
few copies of the Chicago Defender,
Kansas City Sun, New York Age, Dal
las Express, The Freeman, and one or
two copies of the Tribune. On Mon
day and Tuesday he’ll have a com
plete stock. Don’t fail to try some of
his fried fish and other delacies that
have made Phoenix famous and the
name “Fish House” a popular by-word
on the tongues of all Phoenicians.

Ira O’Neal and children, who have
been quite ill the past two weeks suf
fering with an attack of flu, are re
ported much improved. They are en
tirely out of danger. ,
Off to Buckeye —Mr. John E. Lewis,
who has been employed as nurse in
the Emergency Hospital here, left for
Buckeye to engage in similar work.
He has many friends among the re
cent sufferers from influenza whom
he nursed back to health and they are
loud in their praise of Mr. Lewis’ effi
ciency. As soon as the epidemic sub
sides in Buckeye, Mr. Lewis will re
turn to his home in this city. He re
sides at 728 East Washington street.
Smiths in Town — Mr. W. J. Smith
