Webber of the Hamilton-Beach Hamilton-Beach Sales company was driving the car. He had just cranked It in front of his office at 15 West First South street and had not gone more than fifty 3"ards when the Horsley boy. chased by two companions, darted Around the front of a street car and ran squarely into the path of the auto. The mud guard struck him knocking f hini to his knees. He tried to scramble , to one side but the left wheel caught N him. It passed over his abdomen in- ' I fllcting injuries that make recovery . doubtful. The accident happened just at i o'clock. -The streets were filled with school children returning from the field day outing at Wandamere. Young Horsley had Just gotten off a street car with his companions One of them exclaimed boyishly that he could beat tho others across the street. Away they went, unmindful of the traffic, the Horsley boy in tho lead. Webber stopped his car In lese than fl It? own .length, thus saving tho boy fl from tho rear wheel. Eager hands fl picked up the unconsious little form I and hun-Ied with it to Schramm's drug store. Later the boy was taken to the office of Dr. I Clarence Smul-fl Smul-fl lyan In the Mclntyrc building, where fl at a late hour his condition was re- -H ported exceedinglr grave. It was fl deemed best to keep him at the office H during tho night. H Mr. Horsley was notified at once fl of the accident. He was almost heart- H broken. fl "This is the first time I ever let H the little fellow go off for a picnic SM without me," he said. "But he begged -W so hard that I finally gave in. I have fl to happen " Mr. Horsley conducts a m grocery store at North Temple and H Sixth West streets, Just beyond the j 'H viaduct.

H Haag, professor of music, an and nor- H mal work ih the Juarez take academy B at Colonia Juarez, Chihuahua . ,Me.i- H co, Js In the city on lear of absence wM for two years from the acadomy. H Mr. Haag formerly lived in Salt m Lake City, having been attached to H the Uniersitv of Utah, but for four 1 years past, he has been connected with 1 the Juarez academy During his leave. am of absence he will go to Los Angeles W t and Chicago to perfect himself for the i jfl ' degree of M. D, for wlilch be Is Btriv- jfl ing. Speaking or the trouble in Mex- fl ico, Mr. Haag says: fl "One great cause for the pres- 9' . ent revolution against the Mex- ican government is the fact that fl the president has not, according ( to tho revolutionists, kept his wo-d with them. They claim that fl Maderp, when soliciting their sup- , port for his own revolution Inore fl than a year ago, promised the , M people that he would arrange the mH national laws so that the common ifl 'people could secure a share of , fl land for their own use, so that s fl they should no longer be compcl- fl led to live as practical slaves to fl the land barons of the country. This, th.ey say, he has not done. fl and In their impatience and j 'wrath against what they consider , fl Madeio's deception they have j arrisen in arms under thV lead- ( ership of Orozco and now demand ( their rights at the point of the sword. M "As a matter of fact, however. Madero is doing all that he can , 9 , to make good his promises He SI has caused to be introduced Into j fl the Mexican national congress a j bill which, if passed, will place a ( fl tax upon land owned by any one ( fl Indiu'dual up fo 300.000 acres of 7 30 cents an acre, and bovond the S P.00.000 mark Iho ta: will be $1 , an acre. This will have the ef- ( feet of making extremelv large , land holdings practically impos- , sible. . "But to show the justice of the people's cry it needs only to be known that one man alone, a Spaniard named Terrazaz. ovfns one-third of the entire state of Chihuahua. Tho peons who work for the land barons are l M ' kopt in a state closely roaombl- lng Blavcry. They havo become so tired of the galling bonds that they are willing to take any chance for having them removed. Concerning tho Mormon settlors in Mexico, Mr. Haag cays that they are in comparatively little danger, as their continued attitude of non-participation in the trouble, added to tho fact that most of them are American citizens, has commanded respect for them from both sides. |
