PLAYWRIGHT Thomas Meets Her Father
and Chats Over Old Times.

While In Denver, Augustus Thomas,
the playwright unexpectedly met the
father Of The woman who was the In.
spiration for his Bonita IL Arizona
| He hadn't forgotten how be came
TO write the pretty play dealing with
frontier life, and when General Chas,
Cooper, U. $. A., called he was ready
to indulge in "reminiscences of old
Fort Grant as II 1t had All happened
but yesterday.
II seems that the plot FOR "Ari-
aona" was suggested by little scan
dal which was disturbing Fort Grant
when Augustus Thomas went there
for a vacation some years ago. The
playwright stopped AZ the Hooker
ranch, one 81 the show places Of Ari-
coma which was not far from tho
Fort
The ranch was owned BY Henry
Candy Hooker, Los Angeles mill
lionaire. whose stock was 80 numer-
ous that no one ever tried to reckon
Us cAtent. The Hookers were wont
to stay II the ranch in relays, and Il
happened that Forrestine Cooper
Hooker, the daughter Of General
Cooper. and the daughter.in-law of
Henry Candy Hooker, was there st
the time Thomas made his visit re
was attracted BY her perso&l.iy, and
celebrated her as Bonita, The delight
ful little frontier girl Of Arizona"
Colonel Hooker is nc original of
Henry Candy, except that the Colonel
was q man Of polish and culture, real
exquisite n fact whtls the stage char
acter Is q r,uGh And ready frontiers
man, with 0 good heart aud a keen
wit. Mr.. Thomas told General Cooper
that he had preserved many snatches
Of Colonel Hoopers conversation for
use in his play. Frederick Remington
was called to Arizona to illustrate the
sketch when Thomas had finished it.
The Hooker ranch was called the
"Sierra Bonita, and is even now visit
ed by tourists, who are amazed at
such lavish elegance far from human
habitation. Many distinguished men
are eneireled on its guest sheets.
General Cooper, the father Of For
res,ine Hooker, took command Of
Fort Grant after the visit Of Thomas,
and, although he had heard the story
Of the play, he was anxious to verify
II BY Thomas himself, and called for
that purpose.

Cross to read il to tho society.
 The paper dealt with the life and Wl'ting. of Noah Webster Most of the points read were from clippings nom newspaper articles that Mir. Cross has written on the subject.
 The tar'F life of Noah Webster was aiNfn mostly to school tcqchme .bc reader said. He was admitted to the bar in lISl but did not find it ncra- tive enough to continue and returned to school teaching at Goshen. N Y.

 Threats are made to City.

No person can pro- luce one. Why therefore. should the Labor Trust leaders so strenuously de- mand that the courts be stripped of the right to issue iniunctions to pro- tect people and property
 These leaders want to be free to order the sluggers to proceed with their work and their dynamiters to blow up homes and property before the courts can interfere to protect. That's exactly what Is meant by the proposal to prevent any court from is- suing a restraining order without five to seven days notice.
