Mornlnastar Is putcIassed.

When Jacob Schafer of Chicago. met
Ora Mornngstar of Indiana. in the fourth
game of the worlds championship tourn-
ament here today. fast work was looked
for and while the game ran through
twenty-seven innings, Schaefer did not
disappoint the lovers of the game. He
defeated Morningstar by score of 500
to 233 and made 1871 caroms in his seventh
inning. which is the high run of the
tournament up to date. His line nursing
and side play drew forth frequent APP
plause He had many idle innings but
when ne struck his gait the caroms fol-
lowed each other quickly on account of
his almost inimitable cue work. In his
last three innings Schaefer made 1866
points with 81, "a and an unfinished run
of 5.
Morningstar played gooo plucky up
hill game, but was outclassed.

Requested to Talk.

As the meeting was about to adjourn
a note from the student body was handed
to Mr.. Drennen, which requested talk
from J. D. Cunningham. the superin-
tendent.
Mr.. Cunningham said in part:
at is unnecessary for me to speak of
my interest in the new High school. 1t
had been long hoped for event. nor is
1t necessary For me to say to the pupils
and their parents that all my heart has
been in this building. 1t has been given
and you accepted Speaking to the pupils,
and You have pledged that your future
lives shall be as clean as its walls.
1.-THE school means a vast deal to the
community. If the measure of its use
fulness is based on its cost, 1t is insig-
nficant; if based on the high ideals which
is its purpose to inspire, it's value is in
estmablea
That DR.. Cunningham occupies a big
place in the hearts of his pupils was
attested Enthusiastically by their sincere
protestation.

Fire In the Early Morning.

From the little village OF Tremen.
tina, sixty-five miles away comes the
awful tale OF the death OF Mrs. Benz
TO Sanches and her two children in
the flames that destroyed their home
yesterday morning. What caused the
rire and how 1t happened that the
mother and children were unable TO
escape Is mol known for certain,
though the messenger who brought
the word to Watrous said that it was
believed the house caught before the
family were UP and the mother lost
her own life In attempting to save
her children's.
Benit0 Sanches left his heme in
Trementina very early yesterday
m0rning to drive to Watrous. It
is though quite likely tnat he built
a fire before leaving, and that this
may have caused the destruction OF
the house. At any rate. while 1t was
still early the neighbors saw flames
bursting through the roof, but they
arrived too late to save the inmates.
A messenger vas dispatched to
Watrons. He arrived about Z o'clock
and found that NJ. Eanches had come
on to Las Vegas. leaving his team at
I Watrous, A telepnone message was
sent to II. e. Winters, Who was re-
quested to try to locate the sadly De-
Tat husband sand father. MI. Win
rers got INTO communication with
Benita's brother, Patricio and the lat
ter spent the night searching for his
brother, but did not succeed in finding
him until this morning. The broth
ers left early for Watrous. whence
they will drive to Tremintlna to wit
ness the burial OF the charred re-
mains OF what was SO recently z
happy wife and two promising chill

to- death is said to have been only
twenty-three years OF age. The chiL
dren were girl, Francisquita La
