done time before in the city bastile, and should be sent up for a good long term. John Bell, a cowboy working in the Gila roundup, was thrown from a horse last week and his leg broken in two places. He is at the Sister’s hospital, and doing as well as could be expected. General Superintendent Gilchrist of the S. C. & N. met with an accident on Saturday evening last. He in company with another man was traveling on a hand-car at the rate of twenty miles per hour when an obstruction was encountered. General Gilchrist was thrown high in the air and lighting upon his left shoul- der, it was badly fractured. A special convey- ing the wounded man arrived here Sunday morning, and he was conveyed to the Sisters’ hospital where he was attended by Dr. E. L. Stephens. He is doing nicely. Billy Conant, foreman of the J T ranch, met with what might have been a very serious accident last Saturday. He was riding after a cow when his horse stepped into a prairie dog hole, throwing him to the ground. It was some time before he recovered consciousness. Col. Horace Hooker, the broncho buster, is in his native element when there are cows to punch or a bucking broncho to ride. Horace is the life of the round-up.
