About Phoenix People

The postponement of the fair has brought disappointment to the hearts of many. While everything was not en- tirely ready, yet much had been done and great store set upon the outcome. Many had prepared for guests who were expected to arrive this week, but relentless fate had decreed. otherwise, and even the elements conspired against us, so it was decided the fair must be deferred until a later date.
 Christmas day being named for the initial day of the first annual territo- rial fair, the prospects are more bril- liant than heretofore, since the promi- hence of the day will insure a large attendance; such are the anticipations and so it should be, pc tho efforts put forth by the citizens of Phoenix in be- half of this glorious project should be crowned with unprecedented success.
 The fair, it is expected, will bring out society en masse and there will be many happenings of a social nature during that week.
 The Thanksgiving ball given by the Maricopa club proved to be brilliant function. There was an unusually large crowd and the ladies were beau tifully gowned in gauzy. filmy mate rials that frightened the scene as they fitted through the mazes of the dance. The music was faultless and the eve ming passed delightfully."-. Among the dancers were MT. and Mrs. Leo Gold man, Dr. and Mrs. L. H. Goodrich, MT. and Mrs. H. I. Latham, MT. and Mrs. Henry George, MT. and Mrs. Harry Kennedy, MT. and Mrs. Ernest Ford, MT. and Mrs. I. H. Andrews, MT. and Mrs l.. H. Chalmers, MT. and Mrs. A.

BEET SUGAR CONTRACTS
 OVER HALF SECURED
It is Quite Important Now That the
 Rest be Signed.

The beet sugar company is meeting with very good success in secur- ing contracts, having now made contracts to cover at least half the acreage that will be required for next seasons operation of the factory. It is just as anxious as ever though to get the other half signed up for 1t is always the last half that comes the hardest, whatever the undertaking. There is no danger of getting in too large an acreage and the more the merrier for unless all indications are at fault, the man who raises sugar beets will stand a better chance to make money than he would on any other crop. In this connection it is timely to reproduce the following clipping from the Edgerton Eagle, pub- lished in Edgerton, Wis.
 "The sugar beet harvest for this season will close with the shipments being made this week. Altogether there have been 600 acres of beets grown tributary to Edgerton this year, and from such reports of the returns as are available the results are in the main satisfactory.
 "Of these 600 acres, $50 were con- tracted by the Janesville factory and 250 acres by the Menomonee Falls fac tory. Frank Hartzheim, local agent for the Rock County Sugar company, and R. H. Stockman, representing the Wis consin Sugar company, both report the sugar test is averaging better than last year. Growers contracted at $4.50 per ton for beetS testing IA per cent or less of sugar. Each additional per cent adds 25c per ton to the returns. Eff teen per cent is common, 16 per cent has been received by many, and some have tested F per cent. One farmer near Janesville had beets which tested better than 19 per cent. Deliveries made in November give the producer another 25c per ton, so that a large number of the growers are getting bet ter than s5 per ton.
 "An average yield has been about eighteen tons per acre. Some have been as high as twenty-six tons, while

pending the outcome OF the girls injuries
She has been In a critical condition ever
since the shooting, on June !, but did not
suceumb until this morning.
1t Is alleged that the girl was shot the
morning of June l In little house on the
Hamilton road, near the Jewish cemetery.
In, Anacostia. Ferguson had been living
with BERTHE West and her mother at the
house for some time. He came home about
half-past 7 o'clock ON the morning OF June
1, somewhat under the influence OF liquor.
and demanded his breakfast. He was told
that It was not ready for him. He resented
the remark, and complained that 1T had
happened too many times" Drawing pis-
toll he commenced firing at the girl. The
shots did not take enect; ana .ne mot a..a
sprang to save the life Of her daughter. She
picked up a chair and knocked the inlu-
rated man down with that.
He got up quickly. but was again met by
the mother who tried to shield her daugh-
ter. but he reached around her and again
fired at the girl That was the shot which,
1t Is claimed, finally resulted fatally. The
girl was badly injured and screamed. The
mother was the only eyewitness to the
crime Mrs. Gets, a neighb0r. was at
tracted by the screams. and found the house
In turmoil, and saw Ferguson running
from the house toward the woods nearby.
Officers Pursue ferguson.
serrt.. Anderson learned of the shooting.
and was on the scene within few minutes
after the shooting. He ordered that the In
inred girl be sent at once to the hospital for
treatment, and soon had men on the trail
of the man charged with the shooting. Po-
lice headquarters were notified. and Detec-
tiyes Fathers and Parham were at once de-
tailed to the case. The hunt lasted all that
day all night and all the next day without
resuIta Sergt. Anderson posted two OF his
men about the house. where Ferguson had
some clothing and other property. That led
to his capture. Ferguson. tired ana hungry
after his stay of two days In the woods.
came back to get more clothes and some
food, preparatory to setting out for a per-
manent stay elsewhere. AS he entered the
house he was easily captured by the ON
GERS.
When he was taken to the Anaeostia POI
lice station he was interviewed by Sergt.
Anderson as to his connection with the
trouble He told the o61csr, according to
the police statement since made, that when
he came home and found that his breakfast
was not ready he lost his temper and shot
Berthe West. On the following day he was
taken to the Police Court, where warrant
against him for assault with tnteat to kill
