picture present conditions, and
SO clearly did she make US realize
our responsibility in helping to
make Arizona a Prohibition

Sudden Death of
EStimabIe Woman

Mrs. Annie Shaw, aged 60,
widow of the late Joseph Shaw,
died suddenly at six O'Clock last
night at the family home, COS
North Harrison avenue. The inn
mediate cause of death was rheu-
matism of the heart. Funeral ar
rangements have not yet been
perfected, but interment will pro-
badly take place Friday or Sat-
urday.
Mrs. Shaw was talking to her
daughter, Maggie, who was in
an adjoining room, when the
summons of death came. There
was sudden halt in the conver-
sation and Miss Maggie called
to her mother. Receiving no re-
sponse, she entered the room,
only to find the aged lady past
all help. Death had apparently
been perfectly painless. For a
number of years Mrs. Shaw had
been a sufferer from rheumatism,
and when it reached her heart
she passed away quickly and
without pain.
The deceased leaves two sons,
Joseph, Jr., and James. both en-
ployes of the Short Line shops
in this city; and three daughters.

rive tomorrow evening. Mrs.
Mcfarland had been visiting her
mother here for several days. and
only departed fov her Wyoming
home Saturday evening. At that
time her mother was apparently
in excellent health.
Mrs. Shaw was a most estim-
able woman, widely known and
loved. She was a member of the
Episcopal church. The sympathy
of uncountable friends goes out
to the bereaved children.-From

DEMONSTRATION
AGAINST HUGHES
Owners of Trotting Horses Would
Not Start Them before the
Governor

Baliston. y. Y. Aug. 2s-For an hour
pressed hostility Of owners OF trotting
horses taking part In the events at the
Saratoga county fair toward Gov Charles
f.. Hughes held up the racing progra m
at the fair grounds here.
Governor Hughes was visitor at the
fair to-day ana addressed big gathering
which gave him n hearty greeting and
an attentive hearing. The Governor S
presence on the grounds. however, was
resented by the horse owners who have
taken exception to the Governors efforts
to suppress betting on the race TRACES OF
the State, AS consequence they re-
fused tc start their horses while the ex-
ecutive was on the grounds.
Tho strike" OF the horse owners Gre
ated an unprecedented situation and
caused the management Of the fair mark
ed embarrassment. When the conditions
became known a sensation was created
among the thol. sands of spectators on
the grounds and considera BILE pressure
was brought upon the trotting men to
change their attitude and run of the
races as scheduled. In this the fair ON
Gals took the lead, urging their case
strongly upon the recalcitrant owners
and pointing out the awkwardness of the
situation caused by the balk in the pro-
gram. Their efforts were fruitless, how
ever the owners remaining obdurate and
for an hour and a half refusing to bulge
from their osition. They openly de-
clared that Governor Hughes had antN9-
onized their interests and that they pro-
posed to retailiate by refusing to take
their horses out upon the track while he
was present
Those In charge OF the fair threatened
to have the owners disqualified for their
refusal to come to time when the races
we're called but even this threat had nc
effect In altering their attitude and the
races were held UP during the entire
period of the executives visit to the
fair
Coy. Hughes was scheduled to leave
here ON the four o'clock train and short
ly before that time he left the fair
grounds enclosure. Immediately upon his
departure the racing proceeded, The
lateness OF the start caused the con
tinuance OF the trotting until dark this
evening.
GOVERNOR SAYS NOTHING.
