MOTHER IN LAST
ILLNESS, WANTS SON
Police Strive to Locate Boy Who
Worked For Valley Horse Fancier.

a letter was received yesterday at
the office of the city marshall request
ing that every effort be made to learn
the whereabouts Of Dallas DitmOre. a
young man Of eighteen who came to
the Salt River valley several months
ago from McCabe Arizona, to find
work. When last heard from he had
accepted a position. so the letter says,
with keeper Of fancy horses. whose
name was not given.
The reason the writer has for find
ing the young man Is a serious illness
of his mother. whose condition makes
III imperative that Ditmore be found
without delay. as little hope is enter
tanned Of her recovery. Written by a
friend Of the family. and not by the
mother herself who is unable to write.
a strong appeal was made to the city
officers to do everything i'm their power
to assist in locating the boy, who was
last heard from on May l.
Since the letter was received last ev-
ening every effort has been made To
find young Ditmore. and all the men In
the city and the surrounding country
who are known to be horse fanciers
have been referred to in hope that one
of them might have the boy in his en-
ploy. or be able to give his address IN
case he has left the position he de-
scribed in his last letter home.
Nothing has as yet been learned of
him. and nothing has come 10 light
that offers much encouragement To
the officers in their search. 1t is
thought that Ditmore may have left the
valley for the coast, or that he has en-
gagged in some other business since
last May.
Ditmore is described as age eigh-
teen, about medium size. yea rather
tall and slender. and light complexioned
with auburn hair"

BIG MEETING OF
MENOAC|OUs AR|zON|ANS
Hsssayampers Club Will Meet in Los
Angeles to Swap Yarns.

What a Grand Army Encampmeni
is to the old veteran; what the cor
ner grocery is to the oldest inhab-
liant, says the Tucson star, the meet
ing of the Hassasampa club at Los
Angeles the coming month will be to
the old time Arizonians who will as
semble in the city in August.
For the Hassayampa club is a club
of memories and "reminiscences. II Is
a club that is designed to keep alive
memories of the old days in this ter
ritOry. And the fact that it is made
up of the most progressive people in
the west does not prevent their re-
currence to the old time when one
and all they lived in Arizona and
were full of loyalty for its Interests
and traditions.
And they are all of that yet. For
though they have followed the march
of the empire to the still father west
they have never fully divorced them
selves from the associations of the
past.
And that is why they hold their
annual reunion. Furthermore. il is the
moving cause in the wonderful sue
cess of the club Almost half a thou
sand of them have already registered
for the annual picnic. and. according
To advice from Los Angeles, they
are coming i'm every day. The re-
union of the Hassayampa club for the
year 1911 bids fair to be the great
est. the most successful and the mos;
enjoyable event of the kind yet held
The plans for the great meeting
are well along and will be perfected
within short time The meeting
will be held at the Hotel Hollenbeck
and while it will be of vast pleasure
to the people who attend it. it also
will mean much to Arizona. For wheT
crowd OF five or six hundred peo-
pie get together and when their talk
is all of Arizona, it is inevitable that
Arizona, her resources and her pro
grcss will be called To the attention
of vast number Of other people
And all that must do some good.
