Sad Fate of Young Girl While Participating
 In Carnival

Just as the pleasures of Labor Day were being brought to a close on the court house plaza Monday night about. 9:45 o'clock, one of the saddcst events ever known in the history of this city dimmed the gai- ety of the scene, when Miss Sarah Marshall, young lady of sixteen years, fell to the grass plot near the west side of the Rough Rider monument, and in less than five minutes later was corpse.
 Mss Marshall few moments before she was stricken was romp- ing and playing with her sister, Miss Margaret Marshal and many ,,rna girls on the green, and all were in the happiest of moods.

Prescott ---- 2l A5 seconds Jerome. --------- 2 4-s seconds
 The above time tells the story of one of the greatest wet hose racing events ever pulled of in the South west. when Prescott vanquished Je- rome on Sunday morning. This sporting contest wass without a doubt the most interesting of any on the programme of the Labor Day celebrations
 From the beginning to end there was no friction. no injection of un- fair methods, no personal bickerings of those interested, and the best team won. The contest was also memo rable one, the winners accomplish ing the feat of getting within one fifth of second of the worlds record in events of this character, made some years ago in Iowa. IL was a clean affair. and above all there are no "sore spots" for the losers to nurse in the future Nei- ther team has but the slightest ad- vantage over the other. in speed or hose ability. The visitors were somewhat handicapped in their hose work, which accounts for the loss of that fraction of time which gave Prescott the glory.
 Prescott Wins Straightaway
 The s,raightaway also was won by the Prescott team, with rec ord of l3 seconds for the 100 yards as against one-hfth of a second more for Jerome. Tut Ballinger, for Prescott. with Charles Hughes and E. w. Carroll, for Jerome, as timekeepcrs, stated after the we, test was run that all three watches indicated the same time, and the same results were given in the straightaway. J. H. Robinson, Frank F.. Andrews and Charles Smith were judges, while the starter was J M. Mahoney of Jerome.

A FEW SURPRISES.

Some surprises were sprung in the
Hammond Bowling League Thursday
when the Dave Lederers took two
games In easy fashion from those
naughty Plantistas. And that isn't all
either. for the Juniors, who are the tall
enders in the league, captured game
from the F. b. AS and came mighty
near getting another.
\ 1t does sound Improbable. but the
Lederers have 1t down in black and
white and there is no chance of getting
the records either. for they have those
wonderfully documents under lock and
key now. and they say they are going
to stay there.
The Lederers just rolled like old
demons last night and it made no diff
ference whether it was a cherry, a split
or spare. els nothing was too hard for
their pin men last night. Their first
two ga mes went far above the 500
mark and the last fell a little below.
The Plantista's second game was ex
citing; and some good pin work was
done. making a high total of Gas pins.
