TO BUCKEYE BY MOTOR.
Despite Bad Roads Two Cyclists Made
 Quick Trip Yesterday.

F. A. Carr of the Arizona Motor company and the writer devoted part of yesterday to little run to Buckeye and back by way of recreation on mo- tor cycles. They figured before the "trip that if as much rain Nell in the Buckeye district as fell in this end of the valley little over week ago. the roads would be in fine shape. In this presumption, however. they were de- cidedly off their track as they discov- cred after covering but a very few miles. There has been practically no rain in that section for several months and the roads were in about the worst shape possible. Notwithstanding their bad condition. however. the two made the run down in two hours and twenty

 The theory of the origin of the fire is that it was started by the accidental dropping of a cigarette into some fan mel goods a short time before. when the store was opened for the accommoda- tion of an out of town customer who wanted to make some purchases and did not want to wait until Monday.

 Time.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon fire damaged the stock of the W. Lu- ken cash store. to the value Of approx imately s2000 and pending the arrival Of the insurance adjuster the store will be closed.
 The fire started near the rear and an alarm was quickly given and was re- sponded to promptly by the Tempe fire department Entrance was effected through the back door and good stream of water was turned on. AS much damage was done by the water perhaps as by the fire but it was un- avoidable for it was very necessary to stop the flames at once. not alone to save what was burning but to stop the

A Mexican woman was in the store of Le Seuer (. Gibbons Saturday and was caught putting some silk pieces his eye on her and followed her down the street When she arrived at Geo. Johnson's. she took some other things and handed them to a girl who was with her. The girl slipped the things into a sack she was carrying. MT.

That the worlds series to decide

verse will be started later than usual
this year Is obvious from the situa'
ton in the National league where any
of three teams may get the champion

Giants and Cubs appear to have q
real opportunity.
In case New York wins the PEN

at New York.

start here Saturday, the Cubs drop

Gotham for the opening game and

schedules but nothing definite can be
ascertained. The Detroit park will

state Of gridiron matters on Frank

been a hard nut for the Quakers to
crack, and which this year Is excep.

the injury to Quarterback Keinath
In the Bucknell game may keep him
out Of today's contest. and there Is
not man in sight who can satlsfac-
torily fill his place.
Nearly all Of the players are still
nursing injuries as a result OF the
Bucknell game. which was as hard
fought as any championship match.
Yesterday the coaches gave the team
a long signal drill. and also a hard
scrimmage.
