All was in readiness today, and the ladies had prepared a nice dinner for a goodly number who had promised to be on hand to assist Carpenter Ashworth, and while the ladies are somewhat disap- pointed In not having a larger number at work they wish to offer their thanks to the following gentlemen, who did good work and made splendid headway on the building: The Rev. MT. Taylor, Burt Gill len F. M. Hogg. Lon Crook, W. w. Hol- lin ngsworth and Mayor Rush.
 Another good dinner will be prepared tomorrow and it is hoped that not only will more of the business men who so kindly offered their services, but that the several experienced carpenters who offered days work, will be on hand early in the morning.
 The ladies are very desfrous of getting the building ready by July 4. and with little cooperation from the men, 1t can easily be done.

REGRET OLD TIMERS DEATH.

Many regrets were expressed yes
terday for the death of tom" White
one of the old timers of the county
wAo was laid to rest on Monday at
ternoon. Almost everyone who has
been resident OF the county for any
length OF time well remembered the
days when the deceased was fairly
well to do, and when a person riding
across the desert could stop at his
ranch near the line without being
asked any questions, but receiving
the most open-hearted hospitality. All
of the cowboys of the county remem-
Der him when he constructed the
first house in the city of Douglas. 1t
was stated by many that in tom
Whites house the worst outlaw could
be asleep in one room and an Arizona
ranger in another, but, neither one
would be informed of the presence of
the other by their host His one idea
was to give food and shelter to any
one who wanted it, without asking
any questions or troubling with any
one else's business.
