HAYDEN

HAYDEN. Aug 13-About the live Hest event of the season was the blow out" a the office dOtmitOry of the Ray Consolidated Saturday eve ming as q fitting farewell to Nels Johnson on his departure for a few weeks vacation in Minneapolis and other Minnesota points. Nels is president of the Nocyar club, prom inent member of the Hayden Tennis | association, and chief draftsman for the Ray Consolidated, and enjoys pop ularity in proportion.
 This great farewell party was not arranged because we expect to lose 1 Nels entirely but in the last few 1 weeks grave fears have come over his 1 Hayden friends that he as been grow
 : ing desperate and will probably de- sert the happy state of bachelorhood l before returning and join the colony of newlyweds. Those who know Nels best think this has been on his mind
 for some time and that he went i away for this purpose about a year ago but returned alone after his nerve | failed him. He took with him the best wishes of host of friends for the continued happiness and prosperity which should be his.
 In evidence of MT. Johnson's popu- l larity there was on hand as large a gathering of young men as has ever 1 participated in a similar event here and there was a great time in store l for all.
 Deputy Attorney Studley, Deputies 1 Gibson Nash and Farmer have just returned from a several days man I .I,ir r7cr | the hills between here and Tucson 1 for one Jose Martinez. a life termer who escaped from the penitentiary at i Florence few days ago while en- gagged on work of the town sewer system there There was a reward of | two hundred dollars offered for his return to the penitentiary which has ] been claimed by Bill Kellogg and J. l L. Brown. who were the successful | searchers, having located their man in Putnam wash. After locating their l man the arrest was @ very tame af- l fair as he made no resistance what | ever Brown escorted the prisoner
 i back to Florence by rail from Winkel- l man Some of the searchers were in | the hills several days after the fugi- l tive was captured. being ignorant of l the fact that the man had been taken l On Sunday afternoon there was a very exciting ball game on our local l diamond between the smelter boys and San Pedro in which the former were victors by the close score of 1 three to two The latter part of the | game was played in the rain but the 1 interest in the event was so great that | this fact did not seem to mar the
 sport in the least.
 The Hayden hotel which has been l operated for several years by Mrs l Katherine M. Reagan has just been ] taken over by w. A. Smith, who has purchased of Mrs. Reagan the hotel l equipment and will continue to con | duct the business along the same lines | as Mrs Reagan has in the past. Aft CT making this deal Mrs. Reagan left l Monday accompanied by her three | children and will spend some time on 1 the Pacific coast.
 1 Harry C. Adams has just returned 1 from a short trip to Phoenix. M. E Webster returned from Ray Monday.
 Messrs. A J. Maclean, R. Jay Mitch l ell and w.. J. Allen went over to Ray Sunday returning the day following. Robert T. Jones has returned from a trip to Globe. On his way over l Bob stopped in Tucson to purchase several additional autos to place in his auto-stage service in the vicinity | of Globe
