This precludes the giving Of the scores
Of the contesting cars for the two days
that were utilized IN going from Boston
10 New York. The weather conditions
prevailing for the last two days made
the roads very bad in many places, and
the prediction is freely made hat the
clean score brigade will be cut down
when the scores are worked out.

SUMMER EXPERIENCE
 OF GEORGE HAML|N
How He Was Kidnapped in New York
 by Former Arizonian.


 George Hamlin. superintendent of the Relief mine, is in the city for the first time since he returned from the east, and sneaked away to the mine without telling his story. for every body has story when he goes back eact after forty years absence in the west. First, though. MT. Hamlin re- marks that the mine has been work ing itself automatically all the time be was gone, and when he went in pn the 2O0-foot level he found 500 tons of good ore that had knocked itself down all ready for hauling out. That he figures is cheaper than hiring men to break it down. Aside from filling up the water tank and attending to a few similar duties he has done noth- ing yet at the mine except to inspect it.
 Mir Hainlin went east primarily to attend the reunion of the survivors of the regiment in which he served dur ing the Civil War. Also he planned to see all his relatives in that section if possible. having seen only two or three of them on his seldom former trips east on account of always being

TOWN Of WICkENBURG
 SAW THE PRESIDENT
The Presentation O! Canteen of Has
 sayampa Water.

Wickenburg, AriZ., Oct. 14.-(Specia' Correspondence of The Republican.)- )- The great eventful day for Wicken- burg is past and everybody saw the president and heard his cheerful laugh and while they may forget the few remarks made by the chief executive they will never forget the laugh He did not have an opportunity to say anything about statehood. but upon the presentation of the famous canteen of Hassayampa water and the gold pan full of nuggets. by Misses Bernice Baxter and Ellie Davis, he made a few pleasant remarks about what effect Hassayampa water would have upon those who drank of its fabled waters He was kind enough to declare the effect was not to make fabricators of our people. but merely to make them foresee the golden future that was to come. The president noted the base, ball players and said he was always glad to see them. His stop here was very brief; however, many. of the not ables of the presidential party got off the train and shook hands with friends Among these were Delegate Ralph Cameron. ex-Governor Kibbey. Colonel James McCiintock. General A J Sampson and a few others.
 The whole population of Wickenburg with the addition of many people from the A. X C. section. were at the train to greet the president As soon as the presidential train left the station the assemblage of people went to the base ball grounds where a lively game be- tween Parker and Wickenburg was to have been played. but unfortunately after the game was half played the bee of dissatisfaction buzzed loudly and not being satisfied with the deci- sion of the umpire, a Parker man, the Parker boys threw down their mits and left the field. The feeling ran high for awhile and after a futile effort to get the matter settled amicablv it was abandoned as hopeless. This is a matter of general regret. as it has to a certain extent marred the very cor dial relations that formerly existed be- tween Parker and Wickenburg. How ever. taken altogether. il is generally understood that the trouble came about through the hot temper of the Parker catcher and is really not a deep trouble. The Wickenburg boys have always accorded a hearty welcome to the Parker team. which was in turn duly appreciated by the latter who have frequently referred to the royal good times shown them here. Wickenburg was making rapid progress toward the winning of the game. and as Parker vowed to win or walk home it is suggested that the idea of walking was not calculated to make the poor lads very good natnred.
 After. the baseball incident the rest of the program followed and created considerable mirth, especially the la dies nail driving contest. in which Mrs. Nick McCarver won first money. Mrs. John Sa,re and Mrs. John Scott were so close that both got second prizes. Mrs F. A. Mueller and Mrs. Richard Baxter were close followers. and. taken as whole. the ladies dem Onstrated that they can handle ham mer and nails about as good as their brothers,

in hurry. Incidentally he ran across a lot of people who are not relatives but knew him well in Phoenix at one time or another. so he had a continu- Ous round of pleasure. One of these is C. E. Hart. who formerly lived here. though he IS now banking in Albion. N. Y, his native town, is doing we'll and who placed both his time and his big automobile at MT. Hamlin's dis posal Mir. Hamlin says he made con- siderable use of both to his own pleasure and advantage. In fact. Mir. Hart secured possession of him be- fore the home folks did and motored him all over that section so fast his kinfolks could hardly catch up with him. Mir Hamlin made Rochester the hub of his operations. his home town being Pembroke, not far from Botavia, which latter is thirty-s six miles from Rochester. Albion is about the same distance from Roches- ter, but in a little different direction. MT. Hamlin got as far as Batavia to- ward his home town on the night of August 23. The next morning when he started to leave the dining room he found the door blocked by Charlie Hart and party of friends from Albion who had heard of his being at large in those parts and got up at o'clock and rode thirty-six miles across the country to kidnap him They took him to Albion, and the next day they went fishing in Lake ontario and then back to Albion, and finally to the home of Mir Hamlins relatives in Pembroke.
 Arriving there MT Hamlin learned that a half brother who lived at Beth any and whom he had not seen since the sixties had also heard of his pres ence in the country and lad undertak- mobile party of four. In their rush they had turned the machine over and all of them were hurt, but not so badly but that they were out again in week After a short visit there Mir. Hamlin went to New York City for a couple of weeks. leaving just before the Hudson Fulton celebration. Friends wanted him to stay, but he said it was too big a show for him. New York is big enough for a Hassayamper on an ordinary day, and then Mir. Hamlin expected to be back in time for the territorial fair in case he wanted to see really big show.
 Returning to Rochester he made a special business of seeing relatives during the rest of his stay. with that

They want everybody who comes to enjoy himself, but make no secret of the fact that what they want most is plenty of money.

Instead of all dying off lot of them have been born since he left that section, and he found cousins and nephews and nieces scattered around promiscuously almost everywhere he went.

They invite anybody and every body who likes to ornament his inside with ice cream to come to this social. and do SD at SO much per dish, that the proceeds may go far toward ornamenting the school grounds little later. They desire to make things a bit more hOmelike where the youngsters spent several hours of each
