Captain Alexander Leads Seven Others to Slaugh-
 ter of Many Birds; Ed.
 Harrington Will Prepare Big Feed at Club Rooms

Say brother do you like Mulligan Stew? Well then be at the club rooms tomorrow at 1 o'clock and enjoy the best you ever tasted is the way Cap tain Alexander hands out the welcome bid to all local Elks.
 There is a little previous history connected with this Mulligan Stew that will have everything in the world to do with the relishing of it. Cap tain Alexander and seven others armed with offensive weapons started in two machines one rainy afternoon to des- troy every dove in a region south of Tempe. Although some difficulty was experienced in reaching the desired district, the brave hunters arrived at their hunting grounds and began a wholesale slaughter of the innocent birds. After destroying the atmos- phere in that region for a couple of hours they decided to return to town

BUSY LIFE IF GOV. RICHARDS
His Death on Thursday Will Be Widely Mourned for He Was Highly Els teemed During a Long Public Career

brief Associated Press dispatch
 on Thursday night announced the
 death of William Afford Richards. a
 former governor of Wyoming. There
 were no details given other than the
 announcement and the fact that he
 was well known by many in Phoenix
 and had a long career in public life,
 makes a more extended reference
 timely
 Mr Richards was born in Hazel Green, Wis. March g, 1S49. and re- ceived common school education
 there and in Galena. H., after which he went to California while still a young man. Among his early ac- quaintances on the coast was F. $. Ingalls,, now surveyor general of Ari- ! zona It is quite coincidental that | they have both been lifelong friends l from their first acquaintance and l also both have been closely identified with the United States land office | during a large part of their careers. | Their acquaintance began while both were employed in surveying parties in l the early days in California.
 MT. Richards was married to liar
 riet Alice Hunt of Oakland, California, | in 1874, and later moved to Wyoming, which continued to be his home the remainder of his life. In 1889 to | 1893 he served as surveyor general of Wyoming and served the state as gov ! ernor from January 1 1895 to January ! 1, 1899. In the latter year he was appointed assistant commissioner of the general land office serving in that capacity until 1903 when he was made commissioner. being succeeded in 1907 | by R. A. Ballinger. Tn 1909 he was ! elected commissioner of taxation in l Wyoming, which position it is under stood he held until his death.
 | During his official life MT. Richards | visited Phoenix occasionally and on
 these visits formed the acquaintance
 of many people here. They also took
 the form of personal reunions between
 himself and General Ingalls, who has | always regarded him as one of his warmest friends and who feels his | death as personal bereavement. He
 was well known the country over and highly esteemed being a very pOpu- lar man in his home state.

 Since these birds were killed with highly seasoned cartridges the stew is guaranteed to be the finest ever eaten. Ed Harrington will act as chief administer of salt and pepper and will make Mulligan himself look like a boiled pretzel.

Though They Might Do So They Will Not Deprive the Rooseveltistas of a Chance in New York State
tAssocIATED PRESS DrsPATcH1

NEW YORK, July 26.-Chairman Barnes of the republican state com mittee denied today reports that the New York election law would be in voked to present the choosing of pro- gressive presidential electors in this state. The reports became current in connection with the publication of a statement by Election Commissioner Livingston. Chairman of the republi- can executive committee of Kings county. holding that presidential cleo tors could not be nominated in New York state by petition which is the only way by which they can be chosen by the progressive party.
 Barnes said: ''The New York law seems somewhat confusing but no ac- tion will be taken by the republican committee to interfere in any way with the ambition of anybody that desires to appeal to all the voters

It was a closed incident MT Colds worthy supposed until he was advised by Chief Moore that he had received a letter from Metzger's sister, asking him to try and find her brother who was last heard from by a post card mailed lu old Mexico.
 At first thought it would seem as though Metzger had merely worked Mr. Goldsworthy for transportation, and had written a letter to break his suspense and sent it back to St. Louis to be mailed, then continued his trav- els into Mexico. But if that were his plan it is strange that he should write MT. GoldsWorthy at all. He was hold ing the sack anyway and he couldn't hold it any harder if Metzger wrote him dozen letters.
 If he went to Mexico to get away from his family it is rather strange that he should send back even a post card. If he went there with the knowledge of his family they should know better than to think that any body would know even as much of his plans or situation as they did. And in that event why should he send MT. GoldsWorthy a fake letter leading him to believe he was back in St Louis, where he would naturally have been anyhow if he did not report here.
 Finally there is a possibility that some ono knowing of his environment. relations and plans, has put him out of the way for some purpose and is furnishing transformation to both Mir. GoIdsworthy and Metzgers relatives.

Plank and Gregg, have succeeded in
winning half their games. They are
Ray Collins. Of Boston. and Pennock, Of
the Athletics. The Philadelphia young
ster has won one and lost one, while
Collins has broken even on six games.
Mogridge. Of the White Sox, and Ham,

than they have won. Jim Vaughn has
won but three out of twelve. while
Willie Mitchell, of the Maps, has won
but two out of eight. Lefty George has

ONE AND ONE-HALF

That the three-ton truck will prob

WADDELL'S ILLNESS
MAY MARK PASSING
OF GREAT PLAYER
Famous AS Having Wonder
full Character and Excep-
tional Ability.

The sickness OF "Rube' Waddell prob
ably marks the ending OF the career of
one OF the greatest characters the dia-
mond has ever known. "Rube" was Il
wonderful pitcher in his day and would
be having his day yet II it were not for
his habits. Poor "Rube" had the
physique of giant and the mind of
twelve-year-old boy. They say he
hasn't saved a cent out of all the i'm
mense amount of money his good left
arm earned him. "Rube" won pennants
for Louisville, Milwaukee and the Ath-
lctics. He put the Browns into fourth
place in 1905.
"Rube' was probably the most Won
derful left-hander the game ever knew.
Striking out from twelve to eighteen
in a game WAS pie" for "Rube" when
he felt right. But "Rube" never could
field bunt. Many a time other teams
put him up In the air by continually
showing bunts toward him.
"Rube' was happy as a child when he
hit the ball. He was a good fellow.
He believed in the adage that all work
and no pay makes George Edward a
duh boy, and he took his play like he
did his work, with all that was in him.
"Rube's" fishing trips were expected
after every winning game. Mack knew
they were coming and so did McAleer.
They couldn't do anything with him.
"Rube" finally broke up all discipline
on the Athletics when he was hurt and
didn't pitch against the Giants in the
1906 worlds series. That was why the
Browns got him. Poor Rube appears
to be through, even as a minor Lacquer
