HAT PRE-EMPTED BY
 CAT AND KITTENS

Miss Hazel Kirke the charming young prima donna who makes such a delightful Lady Leslie in "A Stubborn Cinderella which Chas. A. Goettler offers at the Elks' Theatre tonight, is not versed in the law but she thor oughly understands what "squatter sovereignity' is, and she obtained that knowledge first hand without paying legal fees either.
 Miss Kirke passed through Los An geles the other day and fell in love with hat, which is the usual way the young women do it or express it, in any case That hat was a dream, it was-but what can a mere man do to- ward describing such a hat? He can only admire.
 When that hat first appeared in public, it was at a morning rehearsal. The men stopped their morning dis cussion of the critics opinions, and the women forgot what they had in mind, all turned and either admired or en- vied, guess which. Miss Kirke, with a smile, told all the girls about it and then carefully deposited her treasure in the dressing room on top of her trunk for safe keeping during the re-. hearsal.
 No one noticed the strange noises that came from the dressing room in the ensuing hour. only Neal Burns. had noticed a house cat, black pussy who owned the place, wandering about rather nervously. The work over, Miss Kirke went for the hat. She passed through the door, and then wall of anguish, gasps, tears and lamentations. Everybody rushe to the rescue. the men grabbed stage braces, the girls reached for hat pins. Miss Hazel was wailing: My new hat-my hat, it is ruinedi Ruinedi RUINEDi"

JUNGLE SAM' DIES
 ON EVE OF THE FAIR
Familiar Figure on Streets in Former Years Dies From
 Injuries

One figure familiar on the streets of Phoenix for several years past during the week of the territorial fair, will be missing this year. No man, wo- man or child in Phoenix who has been here during fair time but recalls Will liam Smith, who was known as Uncle Sam," because of his remarkably natu- ral impersonations of the figure which has come to symbolic the United States all over the world. But "Un- cle Sam" is no more, death having claimed him Friday several days after he was run down by a buggy in Tue son. A party of Tucsonites who ar rived in this city yesterday told of the old mans end and stated that he was making his way toward Phoenix in or der to be present during the fair, as has been his custom for several years past, when he met with the accident which resulted in his death.
 Uncle Sam" was tall and gave evil dence of having once been a powerful man. He wore the same flowing white hair and white chin beard which is always seen on pictures of the Ma tional image. Whenever he came to Phoenix he donned suit of red, white and blue and high felt hat, and with no other makeup, his impersonation of Uncle Sam" was perfect. Wherever he went about the streets he attracted the attention of men, women and children alike. He secured the money with which to pay his expenses through the sale of his photograph printed on post cards.
 The age of this well-known man has been variously estimated at from 90 to 95 years. but his appearance did not indicate such an advanced age. He attributed his excellent health and good preservation to regular habits. He

In a game seven inning of base
ball played Thursday afternoon on
the home grounds, pretty stiff ag-
gregation from Hughesville was
nicely though not easily beaten,
the score being 80. We think it
was the best game yet in every re-
spect. This game gives Laporte a
record of five out of six one game
having been lost to Eagles Mere.
Only one hit was allowed Hughes
vile. Five flies were batted to the
out field and all were captured.
Few errors were made and quick
recovering was done. Carpenter

A Good Game.

An excellent game of base ball
was played on the home grounds
Saturday when Muncy and Laporte
came together, and as usual the
home team was the johnson of the
diamond, winning the nine round
bout by a. score of 81. In the
first inning one score was run in
for each side and thus it stood till
the third when Laporte made two
more trips around the bases. Fol-
lowing this nothing more was done
in the score line throughout the
rest of the game however the play
was full of interest and kept the
fans noisy until the end of the
ninth chapter. Fine pitching was
done by both pitchers, each having
If strike outs to his credit.
