DESERT WELLS TRACT
IS AGAIN H0MESTEADED
George Morey Relinquished to Babbys
Who Are Now in Charge of Corral.

Desert Wells. or at least that tract
of land on which Desert Wells. the
first station out on the Mesa-RoOsevelt
road. is supposed to standvhas changed
hands. George Morey in whose name
the tract has been for several years,
has relinquished to the government
and Fred Baby. the man who is in
charge OF the wells and corral has TAX
en- up the tract. 1t is understood that
Mr. Babby's son has also made a filing
in the immediate vicinity of the wells,
and that between the two that they are
sure that they have securely secured
the tract of land on which the wells
are located. 1t viii be remembered
that T. c. Fonda, several weeks ago
went out and made a filing on a tract
of land as near the wells as possible
for the purpose of getting water for
domestic purposes and it was thought
that inadvertently he had secured the
tract of land on which the property Of
the Shattuck- Nimmo warehouse is To-
Gated. Mr.. Fonda undoubtedly believed
at one time that he was the possessor
OF the wells and whether he has given
up or not is a matter which has not
been learned

SUDDEN BEATH OF
MRS. SARAA. KEMPER
She Expired Sunday Night After an
illness of but Few Moments.

Mrs. Sara A Kemper, for many
years a respected resident of the Salt
River valley, died very suddenly at
her home in Farmers addition TO
Tempe, Sunday evening, between 10
and IL o'clock. Her death came with
such unexpectedness that II has been
a great shock to her many friends in
Tempe and throughout the entire val
ley, where she was we'll known.
Mrs. Kemper, though a woman well
along in years, had been in her
usual state of health. and up to
within fifteen minutes of the time
of her death, did not complain of
any ill-feeling. Sunday night, shortly
after 10 o'clock, she and her hus-
band retired. Mrs. Kemper had just
attired herself in her sleeping gar
ments, when she suddenly exclaimed
that she was unable to get her
breath. She asked Mr. Kemper to
help her out on the porch, where
she could get fresh air. This was
done, and she was placed in a rock
ing chair. She desired to be carried
still farther out in the open, and all
the time was gradually growing
weaker. A doctor was hastily sum-
moned, but Defore ne arrived upon
the scene, Mrs. Kemper was dead.
The attending physician gave ii as
his opinion that death was due to
acute indigestion. So sudden was
her demise that her husband. also
well along in years and in rather
feeble health, is left in a rather pre-
carious condition by the shock.
Mrs. Kemper had been a resident
of Arizona for the past forty years.
Previous to her marriage to her sur
viving husband, she was Mrs. Decker.
She and Mr.. Kemper were married
twenty-five years ago. Since that
time they have been constant resi-
dents of the valley and both are well
known and highly respected. The
news of her death will bring sorrow
to many who were intimately ac-
quainted with her and her husband.
Besides her husband. she il survived
by q sister. in Connecticut, and a
niece, in Los Angeles. The funeral
arrangements have not yet been
made, pending advice from her sis
ter as to whether or not she will be
able to reach here to attend the SER
vices.

REVIVAL MEETINGS
CLOSED ON SUNDAY
They Were Very Successful and
About Sixty Conversions Resulted.

The union revival which has been
in progress under the direction of
Mr.. Forman for more than three
weeks, closed on Sunday night. The
series has been the most successful.
perhaps, ever held in Tempe. The
interest was maintained to the last.
Not only was Sunday nights audi
ence the largest of the entire three
weeks, but there were eight con-
versions, some of them being high
school boys. There have been about
sixty conversions and reconciliations.
to say nothing of the quickening of
the spiritual life of a large per cent
of the membership of the various
churches. The meetings began in
the NJ. E. Church South, but it was
soon evident that larger quarters
must be secured, and the move to
the opera house is conceded by all
to have been a splendid move, as
they became more definitely union
meetings and a large non-church-
going element was reached. Mr.
Forman preached right where folks
live II was the old direct way, in
what a prominent VI. f. man char
acterized as the Wesleyan spirit
The music was n strong feature from
the beginning Mr. Forman not only
knows how to sing, but he can make
others sing. Special mention is due
G. L. Garner and the members of
the Tempe Merchants Band, of which
he is. leader, who from night to
night aided in the instrumental part.
1t was largely due TO Mr.. Gamers
efforts that we secured two pianos
for the meetings. Mrs. Pafford and
Miss Quinn were faithful and eff
cient at the pianos. Nor can Te
leave off mention of Mrs. Forman,
Miss Palmer and Mrs. Goodwin, who
aided Mr. Forman in the solo work.
The various pastors and workers la
bored in harmony and unity; and let
it suffice to say that Tempe is much
the better as a result of the coming
OF Rev and Mrs. Forman. They go
from us carrying the highest regard
of all friends of the church and with
our prayers for their future work.
His closing message was from First
Peter w., Il: What shall the end be
to them that obey not the gospel"
and was considered by many to have
been his strongest sermon.

INITIAL RECITAL At
HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
MISS BELL A PLEASING READER
OF ABILITY.
Entertainer Was Assisted BY Local
Talent-New Auditorium.

The initial recital, and in fact the
first entertainment Of any kind ever
given in the new high school audi
forum was that of Saturday evening
by the reader Miss Frances Bell, as
sisted by local talent. under the aus
pices of the senior class, the proceeds
to go towards the commencement ex-
penses and the increasing Of the Ii
brary books. The audience, while a
representative one was not nearly as
large as il should have been from the
fact that IL was the first entertainment
in the new building and because also
that the entertainment was well worth
while.
Miss Frances Bell, is decidedly in
possession of a good portion of the at
tributes that go for the making of a
reader. She has enunciation, poise,
grace, and is perfectly at ease as well
as having that power of placing her
hearers in possession of the fact that
she has an unlimited amount of re-
serve that she could use in case the
situation justified ii. And while Miss
Bell has all these and more character
istics it appeared Saturday night that
something, whatever il is that mar
rows the chasm between the new en-
tertainer and the strange audience. 1t
was not lack of apparent animation
nor lack of ability. but simply lack of
personal feeling.
I Melvin Dana began the evenings en-
tertainment with a violin solo accom-
panied b. Miss Nellie LeSueur on the
piano, after which Miss Bell made her
initial bow in Bobby Shafter," a rath-
er elderly production yet a splendid
''feeler' to determine the demands Of
the particular audience which she is
trying to entertain. II runs from the
frivolous to the sad and sentimental.
The audience Saturday evening was
made up principally Of young people
and of course Bobby Shafter' devel-
oped the fact that they wanted some
thing in a lighter vein.
The piano solo. Grand March," by
Mrs Ben Harrison was the feature of
the evening. Mrs. Harrison has per-
feet control of the instrument and her
technique splendid. The audience
vainly sought an encore.
Miss Bell next recited In MAY"
Win Impairment ny MIS- mari lSOlA
on piano. This was an exceptionally
clever production and when the reader
left the stage to the time of the we'd
ding march the audience showed its
appreciation Of the happy effort.
Miss Mabel Pomeroy and Miss Nellie
LeSueur rendered a piano duet which
was well received. This was followed
by a happy little "shure huff story"
on christening the baby that proved
hit. Left the Track sufficed to
show the readers dramatic ability.
Mrs. Huber gave a vocal selection in
her usual pleasing manner. Miss Bell
recited another funny story. followed
by Bob Burdette's cure for rheuma-
tism. the sting of a bee" which
brought down the house. Melvin Dana
gave another violin selection and was
followed by the readers closing num-
