Travellers Snowbound-

Mr. and Mrs II. d. Payne and
baby, of Harbor, Oregon, were forced
to turn back this morning when they
attempted to make the trip to the
coast, on their way home, because Of
the heavy snowfall of last night in
the Slate creek district. They start
ed in one Of the auto stages, which
run as far as Waldo, where horse
stage transportation begins, but when
near Wonder the snow, which is very
heavy and wet, banked up to the
lights and passage was impossible.
There was a depth Of two feet OF
snow reported on Hays hill yesterday,
and seven on Oregon mountain. The
storm Of last night has doubtless add
ed much to this, as 1t has heretofore
not bothered in the lower country.
Mr.. and Mrs. Payne have returned to
the home Of Mrs. Payne's father, DR..
O. W. Miller, in the Evans creek re-
glon, where they have been visiting
over Christmas.

FOXY" MILLER LEFT A CONDITIONAL
 FORTUNE

GLOBE, Ariz., Aug Son condi- ton he marries before January 29, 1917, Theodore E. Miller, prominent welterweight wrestler, known to sport fans all over the southwest as Foxy Miller, will receive bequest Of $l5O,- OO0 Notice of the rich legacy, which is to be his own on one condition was received by Miller on July 29, in let ter from New York law firm, inform ing him of the death recently at Frankfort, Germany, of Matt Dorschid, a wealthy uncle The uncle's will pro- vides that Miller is to receive the leg cay only upon condition that he is married within six months of the day he receives notice of the bequest.
 Miller, who has not seen his uncle since 1886, remembers only vaguely the trip to Europe and the visit to his uncles house at Frankfort. He does remember, however, that he was the decided favorite of his uncle, who of ten expressed the desire to see him grow to manhood and be happily mar ried. Miller, who is now managing a crew of salesmen in Arizona repre- senting an eastern pillow top and pho nograph company, declares that ne will lose no time in finding suitable wife in the time allotted him to make his choice. Unknown to his uncle ne was married several years ago, but was freed of matrimonial entangle- ments some time ago. He is there fore, free to carry out the provisions of his uncle's will. With the legacy, which he is confident of securing, Miller declares he will quit the wrest- ling game, and settle down to more serious business. The present job of salesman, he says, is a profitable one, and \he expects to use his fortune to develop the business in which he is now engaged.

DOUGLAS INVITES
 PRES. WILSON
Effort Being Made to Have Him Come
 Here After Speech at Fl Paso.

. DOUGLAS, Aug. Son behalf of the citizens of Douglas, the chamber of commerce, through Secretary Os- car K. Coll, have extended an invita- tion to President Woodrow Wilson to visit this city and deliver speech. Secretary Coll this morning sent the letter of invitation to Joseph P. Tu- multy, private secretary to the presi- dent.
 President Wilson will speak in Fl Paso October IA, the opening day of the annual meeting of the Interna- tional Irrigation congress, and the day on which the new Elephant Butte dam will be formally opened. It is understood that the president will go from Fl Paso to San Diego, though just what route he will take has not been ascertained. It is hoped that he can be persuaded to come to Douglas and remain for several hours, or at least long enough to deliver a speech.
 Douglas has never yet had the pleas ure of entertaining president of the United States, though it has been favored with the presence of one or two near-presidents of the United States and several presidents of Mex icO.

IS
 ABOUT FINISHED
(Portland Eastern Argus)

County Recorder Ellis has submit ted the following figures of registra- tion for the county up to date. The registration as it now stands is prac- tically complete for the primaries, only few stragglers yet to be heard from in the different precincts. Re corder Ellis expects to go to York next week and complete the registra- tion at that place and with what few may drop in from time to time it is thought that the list will be changed but little.
 Clifton has registered the largest number and a glance at the table will show that the democrats out number the republicans 10 to 1, this being accounted for from the fact that a great many of kepublical fair. have registered as democrats and thus cut down their ratio consider ably. Morenci comes next with the democrats naturally predominating, while in all the precincts those of other faiths are in the minority.
 It was thought that the local regis tration would reach close to the 5000 mark before the books closed, but at this time it will probably not go over 2700.
 The following table is compiled to date.

DAVID HOLGU|N |S
 MARRIED AT GLOBE

David Holguin, of Miami, one of the most famous musicians of the southwest, was married last Satur- day night to Mrs. Marie S. Brown ing of Fl Paso. The ceremony was performed by Justice of the Peace Hinson Thomas, and the bride and groom immediately returned to Mi ami, where they will make their home temporarily.
 David Holguin is the most famous of Miami's sons in the world of art and music. His violin has been heard in most of the cities of the west and middle west, and wherever he goes he plays his way into the hearts of his hearers. Tfe great masters of Europe have pronounced judgment on his woTk, and tlcir opinion coincides with that of the rank and file. Mrs. Browning is one of the popular young ladies of Ell Paso, and the wedding which took place last Saturday night is the cul- imitation of romance which began on one of the young musicians con- lcert tours through that town. MT. and Mrs. Holguin while now making Miami their home, may eventually move to Fl Paso.

SEA GIVES UP BODY OF ARIZONA DOCTOR

LOS ANGELES, Aug. B. The body of man, clad in a bathing suit, and believed to be Dr. H. c. New berger, of Ajo, Arizona foated up at the Ho1lister avenue pier, Santa Moni- ca, yesterday afternoon. It is presum- ed while bathing in Venice.
 Newberger's street clothing was found in one of the dressing rooms of the Venice bath house while the attendants were cleaning up the rooms. The owner of the clothing has never appeared to claim them.
 Letters found in the pockets of the clothing have led the police to believe that Newberger was recently resi- dent of Ajo, Arizona and that he had been in Los, Angeles but short time presumably on his vacation. While in Los Angeles he made his home at the Milton hotel, Broadway near 5th St.

DEATH IF ARIZONA JUSTICE IS
 MOURNED
Every City Honors Memory of Late Judge Edward Kent, Who Died In Chicago.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 8.-Every city in Arizona practically joined with this city in mourning the death, early this week, of Judge Edward Kent, in Chicago, where he succumbed to the harships of an eastern journey. Hemorrhage was the direct cause of his death. Yesterday every city in Arizona paid the former chief justice of the state supreme bench farewell tribute when his body was laid to rest in his old home in Maine.
 In Phoenix every office in the state house was closed during the after. noon out of respect to the deceased. Several stores closed their doors for one hour during the funeral services in the Maine home. The flags on the state house, the city hall, the fed eral building, the county courthouse, several clubs and lodges and the down town business houses were at half mast throughout the day.
 At Tucson, according to word re- ceived here, court adjourned for two hours during the afternoon. The offices of the University of Arizona were closed for the hour of funeral service, and the flags of the city and county public buildings were lowered half way.
 Similar tribute was paid in Bisbee, Douglas, Globe, Prescott, Yuma, Flor ence, Jerome and other smaller cities where Judge Kent was known. Every paper in the state commented literally on the death and many gave over their editorial columns to expressions of grief at the loss the state has sus- tained.

Morenel at Last Breaks Jinx-

Morencl at Last Breaks Jinx-
 In last Sundays ball game on the local diamond the Morenci boys turn ed the tables and gave Clifton the beating of their young lives. It's a sad tale, mates, and the d-'stbing was so thoroughly and artistically done that to chronicle the steps which led up to the final slaughte-swr-ilt7sSo only prolong the agony of the defeat. Mo renci was an easy winner with score of 15 to 4 at the end of the game and she has vindicated herself in the eyes of the Hill City fans and they have forgotten the many pre- vious defeats administered. The Clifton boys claim they had become groggy from the intense heat and completely lost their heads, but rum ors are to the effect that they just naturally suffered from cold feet and could feel the reinstatement com ing.
 The truth of the matter is that the local team labored at a disadvantage in that but a small number of the regular team played, and the places of. the regular men were filled by old players who had been inactive for so long that they could not find their base ball legs. The Morencf boys claim that the Clifton aggreg- ation see the hand writing on the wall in the form of complete anni- hilation in the future at their hands and that they have consequently laid down. Morenci has her second wind and was after Clifton with blood in her eyes, intending to more than even up matters before the end of the sea- son.
 However, her plans have been frustrated according to reports that the regular Clifton team will play no more this season. The majority of the regular players have good jobs and work seven days in the week and when they lay of to play ball on Sundays they lose the days pay. Therefore, when it comes to showdown between bread and butter and base ball, the former comes under the wire a good winner and from present indications it would seem that the team has disbanded for the re- mainder of the season. A few games may, however, be played with pickup nine, but if so the pep and ginger will be lacking and the sport will have lost it's interest for the fans
