UNIQUE FORMS MAKE
MERRY AT CLUB
(From Sundays Daily

No Halloween function in Pres
colt was more interesting and
elaborate than the masque ball at
that Yavapai club Friday night.
The approach OF the annual hob
goblin period caused many even
ing celebrations throughout the
city, the event which nearest ap-
preached the Yavapai entertainment
being the dance given by the Elks
in their elegant new hall.
Some thirty couples attended the
Yavapai ball, all dressed in the
most grotesque and laughable fash
ion imaginable and masked so COM
pletely that not a mothers son or
daughter OF them could have been
distinguished without the aid of a
search-warrant. If there was fea-
ture of the weird surroundings OF
the Halloween custom not repre-
sented by those who attended, it
would take specialist to point it
out. Everything looked ghostlike
and mysterious, the jolly partici
pants evidently having consulted
the most medieval works of myth
ology in an effort to Guido each
other. 1t is said that so far as the
gentlemen guests were concerned,
Leroy Anderson would have cap
tured the prize had premiums been
offered, and that Miss L. Fox, as a
witch, would have been a close
second, representing the feminine
portion OF the company. Mr.. An
derson looked the part of a big
Teddy Bear, although it probably
would not do for any one to init
mate to him that when he made

o'clock, commingled with more fun
than is possible at anything except

selves acquainted with their unreal

EARLY MORNING FIRE
DAMAGES BUILDING
CFrom SUNDAYS Dailyl

NrrOm sundays Dally)
Damage estimated at 5000 was
the result OF an early morning fire
at the Washington school building
in Prescott yesterday. 1t consists
of smoke, which defaced practically
the whole interior of the building,
rendering it necessary to do a great
deal of re-painting, water which
deluged the lobby and basement,
the chopping OF two holes in the
wooden floor of the school lobby
and one in the cement floor of the
south veranda, and the burning of
the interior woodwork, where the
blaze started.
When the helper of C. E. New
ton, janitor of the school, opened
the building to commence his regu-
lar work, about seven o'clock, he
found the whole interior of the
structure filled with a suffocating
smoke. He at once notified the
fire department, and soon the boys,
accompanied by Superintendent Ba-
ker, Prof. Hart, and the janitor,
were on the ground The binding
smoke, coming from a mysterious
source, made it hard to locate the
FIRE but soon it was discovered to
be in the small enclosure under the
veranda, where a blaze was in pro-
gress, eating its way slowly into
the interior woodwork. In the en-
closure were two barrels of oil,
one barrel of floor-sweeping com
pound and some other combustible
materials. Holes were chopped in
the floor and the blaze soon was
under control, but not until the
whole basement of the building and
the lobby floor had been deluged
with water, causing considerable
damage to the tools and parapher-
MALTA of mechanics who have been
engaged putting in a new heating
plant
No fire has been in the place
where the truble happened for
many months, if ever, and the only
theory on which to account for the
fire yesterday morning is that the
sweeping compound, which is COM
posed of a mixture of sawdust, oil,
sand and salt, was ignited by spon-
taneous combustion. The blaze had
practically consumed the barrel and
the interior woodwork of the YER
anda was burned, but the oil did
not ingite. The aperature where
the fire was confined was surround
ed on all sides by brick and ce-
ment walls, else the whole interior
OF the building would doubtless
have been burned.
Friday night there was a Halo
ween party in the kindergarten
rooms, where the second-year pupils
gathered with some of the teachers
and enjoyed a feast OF pumpkin
pic, gingerbread, apples, beans, etc,
out the older ones present say when
they departed from the building.
about ten o'clock, there was not
even the smell of smoke in the
place, meaning that the fire started
alter than that time, although in
locations are that it had smouldered
;or some hours before beaking into
1 blaze, owing to the fact that lit
lie air was in the enclosure.
1t was lucky find, and prompt
work saved one of the best school
structures in Arizona from destruc-
ion.

Doc Pardee and Lone Jordan, two
OF the most famous tanners of wild
ones in semi-captivity in the vicinity
of Prescott are coming to help pro-
duce excitement at the state fair.
They said so in a letter to Secretary
Tom Shaughnessy yesterday
Pardee needs little preliminary

who attended the Frontier Days in
July. For Doc did the spelling and
the majority of the classy riding
himself.
1t it hadn't been for something
odd that happened the last day.
Pardee would have won the dia-

buster OF the world.
Jordan is a Yavapai cowpuncher
of parts, and a trick rider and
roper of the better sort. He has
taken many purses at Phoenix
fairs, for fancy roping and bull
logging. He, too, was prominent
member of the Prescott celebration.
Many other cowboys from the
northern part of the state will be
here in addition to these two to
take part in the wild west sports,
which will be the best in the history
OF the state fair.

MUCH MONEY TO
CHANGE HANDS ON RACE
From SUNDAYS Daily

II. J. Pink and Thomas Ely, in
a Metz, and Fred l. Wing and +.
L. Paiset, in a Thomas, two cars
entered in the Los Angeles-Pres-
cott-Phoenix race, passed through
here yesterday on their return trip
over the route Messrs. Wing and
Paisct broke a shaft near town,
one which was cracked when they
flew the track soon after leaving
Phoenix, and were held up here
number OF hours making repairs.
The drivers OF both these cars
were of the opinion that the win
ners OF the race would have to
make better average than thirty
five miles an hour. They agreed
that ii there was no more rain from
now until the time of the race
the roads would be in ideal condi-
ton, and think that much better
speed will be possible than was
made last year over the southern
route.
Much Betting.
Mr.. Pink said that there was an
enormous amount of betting going
on in both Phoenix and Los An
geles as to the outcome of the
race But" he said, this betting
is small compared to the amounts
being posted by the employees OF
the various factories from which
cars have been entered The manu-
facturers of the Thomas car. which
| am driving, are fairly wild over
the proposition. There are 10000
of them and | am safe in saying
that the majority have posted mon
ey on the race Our people es-
innate that among them alone as
much as $4,000 is posted with the
employees of other factories and
themselves. All kinds of
bets have been made One man
will bet on the maximum time, an
other on the minimum, others on
the average per hour. and on every
other conceivable feature of the
event which is likely or unlikely to
happen"
