The sudden death of Charles A. Hall,
which was mentioned last week, re
moves one Of the older people and a
lifelong resident from this place. Mr..
Hall was born in the house now owned
by Guy Barnes about two miles from
this village, on the road to Westmln-
ster, SO years ago last November. He
lived upon this farm until few years
ago, when he was obliged to give up ac-
tive work and sold the place to Mr..
Barnes. His ancestors were among the
early settlers Of the place, coming here
from Cape Cod, Mass. together with
several other families), and locating
upon this farm.
He was the oldest of three children
of Ebenezer and Betsy (Miller) Hall.
His father was for many years dca-
con III the Congregational church in
this village. He was a man Of quiet,
happy disposition, one VINO made many
friends and held the respect of the en-
tire community. For many years he
had been afflicted with lameness, which
made it difficult for him to mingle with
people socially.
He united with the church in 1868
and attended its services whenever pos
sible. He married in 1865 Miss Alice
Day of Enfield, n. H. A daughter was
born to them, who died in infancy. For

Phoenix Bowed Before Glendale In
Annual Game Between High Schools

Phoenix High School may have a
base ball team and all that, but there
is no one in Glendale by whom you can
prove IT. In fact, Glendale last night
was willing to stand up on chair
and shout to the four corners of the
compass, that all reports emanating to
that effect from this town of Phoenix,
were absolute and indiscriminate false
hoods, and if anyone thinks differently
Glendale requests that a glimpse be
taken at the box score below.
The above prelude is given just to
pat Glendale on the back somewhat,
and express to the public the woeful
tiding that Phoenix High lost in its
annual game yesterday at Glendale
to a team made up of high school lads
from that enterprising village.
There was nothing to it. One run,
was all that Phoenix could get and it
was perfectly easy for Glendale to
annex another score whenever things
looked as if another run was needed.
If the weather hadn't been so perfectly
scandalOus Glendale was claiming last
night that they could have run the
score up to any particular altitude
desired. Thoenix didn't desire it
there was no getting around that.
For three straight innings, Phoenix
was helpless before Mays alright
pitching. Not a man saw first, let
alone touching it. In one, two, three
order they gracefully bowed to his
mastery of the horsehide pill. Finally
after Glendale had sewed up all the
runs needed, Heflin decided that there
was no use in being whitewashed. and
for the honor of the school and for the
good of future generations, actually
oad n oct
The afternoon was a little too cold
for baseball. Shivering athletes
equipped with blue noses and chilled
digits We're altogether too apparent to
make the large crowd which witnessed
the game feel that the great Ameri-
can pastime was exactly in order.
Following is the box score:
