Roosevelt, Ariz, March 19.-(Special | correspondence of The Republican.)-I Great preparations are being made | just at the present time for the ten his tournament to be held by the | Roosevelt Tennis club some time dur ing the early part of April. The courts | are rapidly being brought into condi- | tion and some very interesting play is l expected, as among the club members | there are some players of no mean | reputation. President Edson Lee re- | ports that a very fair sized list of en- | tries have been made and that the | drawings for match playing will be | made some time before the close of | March. The matches to be played l are gentlemen's singles, ladies' singles, l gentlemen's doubles and mixed doubles, for all of which club prizes will be offered. The real interest of the tournament, however, centers around the playing of Van Sant and Pearson.
 Both are Washington, D. C.. men and both are considered cracks at their respective home clubs. The for mer held the middle eastern cham pionship honors during the year of 1902, and the latter has to his credit the premier honOrs at the Washing ton Country club courts for 1904. Probably another man who may dis pute their claims to first honors on the Roosevelt courts is Cognlan, an old University of California man. With such a bunch of stars and a goodly number of ordinary players the lovers of the sport are sure to see some splendid exhibitions during the com 1 ing weeks on the local courts, and it l is hoped that later in the season, if satisfactory arrangements can be made, a contest can be held with some i outside club

 II J. F. Boone, the man who was so seriously injured in a runaway acci- II dent last week that it was necessary
 to amputate his right leg on Wednes-
 day night, died the following night as
 a result of his injuries and the shock
 of the operation. Boone was a Phoe-
 nix man and his case has been a very sad one. He was dependent upon his
 daily wages for the support of his
 family. and now that he is gone his
 wife and three small children are
 practically without means of support.
 The citizens of Roosevelt have very
 kindly come to her aid with cash and
 other necessities of life. She stated to
 the Republican representative last
 Saturday that through the columns of
 this paper she wished to express her
 heartfelt thanks to the people of
 Roosevelt for their most kind and
 timely assistance in her great be- reaVement. On account of the floods and the impossible condition of the roads the body was not taken to
 Phoenix for inteIment but was
 buried at the local graveyard.
