Larry King
is in Court

Larry King and his attorneys are
in the Federal court today while the
court listens to arguments tending
to show that King should not be
extradited to Nebraska to answer a
charge of being concerned in land
frauds in that state.
King is a famous hunter of big
game and is credited with having
killed more big game in the world
than any other living American. He
tied in a championship shoot for ma
tional honors with Hershey, both
making 90 out of a possible 100 at
liv birds.
Others concerned in the land
frauds have been convicted, hence
Kings anxiety to avoid extradition.
A prima facie case must be proven
in this jurisdiction before he can
be extradited.

FLAGsTAFF'S FEARFUL FINISH
Local Ball Teams Go to Winslow and Get Lambasted All Over the Lot.
 Lose Four Games in Two Days.

The senior and junior ball teams went to Winslow to play July and 9th, and while it was impossible to secure any definite report of now it all happened, it is sufficient to re- mark that the kids would lose a game in the morning and the big fellows would repeat the thing in the afternoon.
 The first game between the senIor hines looked like a win for Flag staff until the nineth inning when the score stood ' to II in favor of Flag. In the 9th the Winslow team secured some eau de vie some old place and swatted out enough runs to win by one score. Sunday the Winslows had a walk away with our representatives and played game of romp. The boys came home feeling good. however. and said they enjoyed it.

BLIND TOM" PASSES AWAY
Singular Old Negro Pianist of Marvel ous Musical Power Dies in Sixtieth
 Year at HObOken, New Jersey.

Blind Tom," the strange old pianist, who has made music in every city of the country, died last week.
 A writer in Musical America. commenting a day of two after his death wrote
 He was just plain nigger Indeed, at one time he was slave.
 And yet it is not so many years ago that he astounded the entire country by his musical gifts.
 His real name was Thomas Wiggins. The name of his former owner was Col. James N. Bethune of Georgia. He died at the home of daughter of his old master. One of Col. Bethune's daughters, Mrs. Albert J. Leache, had cared for the poor old blind negro for many years, at her home in Hoboken.
 At the funeral a march of his will be played. This march musi- clans have declared to be of uncom- mon merit and power.
 Blind Tom was all his life a child. He used to laugh on the least provocation and always need ed some one to take care of him. After the performance of number, he used to applaud himself. Like a child, he would speak of himself, in the third person. and say: Tom is cold;' Tom is thirstyl
 As a little boy he showed mar vicious ability to initiate all sounds. When for the first time he heard a piano, it is reported of him that he groped his way to the instru- ment and found he was able to re- produce the music he had just heard. He had a marvellous abili- ty of initiating on the piano the poices of nature, and one of his compositions, in which he took the greatest delight, was known as What the Wind and the Waves Told Tom.
 He appeared in public for more than twenty years. He was in his sixtieth year when he passed away He was able to reproduce the per formance of masterpieces by ar tists. and showed conception of music which was extraorainary. His technique came as naturally to him as his musical emotions.

SEEKING COOL SUMMER PLACE
Summer Visitors from Phoenix Country Arriving on Every Train Flagstaff
 the Coolest Place in Arizona.

Gradually Flagstaff's most de- lightful summer climate is becom- ing known to our southern neigh bors and instead of seeking the fiea-bitten shores of the Pacific they are coming to cool restful Flagstaff where the grand old woods cast its shade am q the inyigorating smell of the pine brings new life to the tired sun soaked mortal. The Phoenix Gazette of July 3rd says
 "The annual summer exodus from Phoenix has begun under very favorable auspicies. but it has one feature that is rather new, namely that those who care to hunt cool CT breezes than are to be found in Phoeix. are coming more and more to hunt them within the confines of this territory rather than on the coast. Last year at this time, a mere handful of people went to Flagstaff each week, while multi tudes went over to the beach re- sorts. But this morning fifty peo- pie left for Flagstaff. and about the same number went last week. The Iron Springs travel also shows a perceptible increase over former years.
 At present it is difficult to secure furnished cottages for our summer visitors. but some of the wise ones are beginning to realize that hun dreds of visitors would come here each summer if moderate accom- modations were provided for them and they were properly informed of our many advantages.

Cleaning Silk Fabrics.

Silk of any kind or color may be cleaned in the following man ner. ' says Woman's Home Con- panion for July. For every quart of water to be used in wash ing a dress, pare and grate one large potato. Put the grated pota- to into the water, which must be cold and soft; let stand two days without being disturbed in any way, then very carefully pour off the clear liquid from the sediment into large. convenient vessel, into which dip the pieces of silk up and down.
 "Of course, the silk must not be creased by wringing; let it hang and drip nearly dry, then lay it flat on the table. and wipe it first on one side and then on the other. If necessary to press it, do so between flannel with a moderate iron"
