THE FIREWORKS paoal

The committees for the fourth of July celebration are confronted with the problem of fireworks. It is the Intention to have a display at night If possible: but the committees are inclined to place ban on the mis- ceilaneous nse of fire crackers and other nerve destroyers during the day so far as the celebration grounds are concerned. Accidents have been so numerous in the past and so many
 lncipient flames have been started
 that the firing of crackers is believed to be too dangerous for the occasion.
 Of course in the business section of
 town the cracker is always barred and 1t is possible that Mayor Le-
 sueur will issue a proclamation pro-
 hlbltlng the firing of crackers in any part of the city. The weather has
 been warm. and no rain has fallen for some weeks; hence everything is dry, and easily inflammable It would
 be a wise move to cut out the fire crackers entirely

4 WEDDING HAPPENS
 UNDER DIFFICULTIES
The Opposition of Relatives has no
 Effect on the Outcome

The Kyrene district, south of town, has experienced an unusual amount of excitement during the past five days as the result of a genuine uptodate elopement performed by two well known young people of that vicinity. The contracting parties were Mrs June Carroll and Mir. Dave l.. Hen derson. Of course the gossip of the neighborhOOd conveyed the fact sev- eral weeks ago that the couple would no doubt be married within a short time but not even the wisest of them ever dreamed that it would take place in the nature of an elOpe- ment
 The romance dates back about two months to the time of the brides arrival in Arizona from Grain Valley, Missouri. She is a sister of Mrs A. L. Meredith and came here with the express purpose of paying her a sisterIy visit. She immediately took ur her abode with her sister and at the same time began forming ac quaintanceS in the neighbOrhOOd Eventually she met her present hus band and right there the plot be- gins. Within six weeks or less the young people were engaged, although it was exceedingly against the wish es of the brides relatives with whom she was residing. However the plot thickened and the date for the mar riage practically was set. Tender son made a trip to Phoenix and se- cured the necessary credentials with the full intent of returning home and securing the prospective bride. But to his sad misfortune as well as hers a certain party interfered whereby he was obliged to remain obscure from the eyes of the brother-in-laW- to-be. All this happened about two weeks ago.
 As long as the two could not be peacefully married without intrusions of relatives, the well known resort Of elopement was planned. Last Friday night was the date set by the two young people. Henderson spent the day in the field as usual. His future wife spent the day at home and tie early part of the evening, for notn- ing was expected to happen until midnight. Just as the clock struck twelve the plucky young lady made her way out of the house through a side window, and started off across the field, a distance of about mile to point on the edge of the desert where the wouId-be groom was III waiting. During the course Of her trip. the night being very dark, sne struck an unseen irrigating ditch-lt need not be told what happened. When the two met, their long rlde or eight miles to town was commenceo' and it terminated without further ac- cident at the home of Jusuce or the Peace Carr about three a. m Satur- day. The judge, with little trouble, was routed out. his wife being forced to follow to act as witness. The ceremony followed but it would be hardly possible to picture the scene.
 MT. and Mrs. Henderson are now residing at the Wm. Ray nome lh Kvrene district.
