Other tentative plans include
patriotic addresses by prominent

Told Girls
 Folks Goodbye

"Say, those Williams people are sure there when it comes to showing anyone a good time," said one of the Kingman men at the dance Saturday the Williams ball club gave at that place, and that was the opinion of the whole bunch as the time shown them was one to be looked back to. The home crowd saw to it that every one knew everyone else and with the good music and fine floor they had you simply couldn't help having the time of your life. To help matters along "Abie" Bale found a girl and very nearly missed the train Sunday evening when they started for home. "Abie" explained that he had been up to her house telling the old folks good bye.

REFUSED ID DOFF
 HIS HAT ID KAISER

Mohave county is honored by having among its many good residents, a gen tleman, who is one of the staunchest Frenchman ever brought to life on the soil of the martyred country. He was born in the city of Paris, and raised in the city of Metz in Alsace-Lorraine, which is and has been since the war of 1870, a German province.
 He is such a rabid Frenchman that, while attending school in the last men tioned city at about the age of 12 years, the kaiser visited the school and the instructions to all of the chil- dren were to remove their hats and salute the kaiser. This one boy could not however see it that way and sui fered seven separate and distict whip pings from the school master, who finally exhausted himself in an effort to make this boy do as he was in- structed and had to allow him to go.
 The man is W. A. Reiff, we'll known to everyone about here, having lived at Boulder Springs for the greater part of the last 10 years.

FAMOUS FRENCHMAN
 DIES IN SWITZERLAND

CHAUX DE PONDS, Switzerland, August ?. - Louis Pindy, the man who set fire to the Hotel de Vile in Paris in May 1871, and who was one of the last four members of the Paris Commune exiled in Switzerland, has just died at the age of 77. The re- maining three are Protot, who was minister of justice in the government of the Commune, with Louclas and Gerardon, two inconspicuous members of the Commune.
 Pindy was in command at the Hotel de Vile. He declared that, if obliged to quit the building, he would leave it in flames, and kept his word.
 Condemned to death for that act of incendiarism, he hid ten months in the rue Saint Maur, manufacturing jewelry meanwhile. Denounced by his partner, he escaped to Switzerland by way of Mulhausen and settled at Chaux de Ponds where he was en- ployed for forty-four years by the same firm making watches.

KINGMAN WALLOPS
 WILLIAMS NINE ID
 THE TUNE OF s ID 2

The Williams ball club went down to defeat before the onslaught of the Kingman team last Sunday at Will liams to the tune of 6 to 2. While there were several bad plays during the day, the game was a good one and kept the fans keyed up to a high pitch.
 It was the first game of the season for the home team and they showed the lack of practice, but month from now they will be playing 50 per cent better ball. They are to play a game here in the near future.
 Ray Robinson was the shining spot in the game, making several pretty catches and getting three hits for the day, two doubles and a single. Web ster was close behind with four wal lOps, all being singles.
 The visiting team was never in dan ger, the only time the score being tied was before the game started, while our pet hopes started the first inning by making 2 runs and followed it up with more in the third. The Will Hams crowd did not get hit nor run till the fourth when they loaded the stations on two hits and an error. Me Dougal then played in hard luck by sending a beautiful line drive straight into the hands of George, the center fielder, not man scoring. But before the side was retired they succeeded in chasing one man across the platter.
 One thing most of all was noticed and that was the lack of grabbing at the decisions, not one being such that could be questioned. AS a gen eral rule the games in this country break into a row before the game isl half over, but the Williams boys are all clean sports and the Kingman bunch saw to it that they had nothing on them.
 Following is the score:

EVENTS ON
 THE PACIFIC COAST

SAN FRANCISCO, August 4. - Following the lead set them by the girl swimmers of the Pacific coast, a race for men across the Golden Gate will be held Sunday morning, August 12. Sanction for the race, which is being fostered by the San Francisco Examiner, has been granted by the Pacific Athletic association. Particu- lar interest attaches to the event for the reason that Norman Ross, con- sidered one of the worlds greatest and most versatile swimmers, will compete under the colors of the Olym- pic club in an effort to break the ex- isting time record across the famous strait.
 The record now is held by Walter Pomeroy, a clubmate of Ross, who negotiated the distance of seven eights of a mile, Sept. 2S, 1914, in 20 minutes and A seconds. The course is a tricky one owing to the many rips and tides, and calls for brain work as well as brawn and speed on the part of the swimmer, and is considered an excellent all around test of ability.
 More than one record will be under consideration in this race. A dozen cups will be offered as prizes for juniors, high school boys and other divisions so that a number of new records will be established by the swimmers in these various sections which have not heretofore existed.
 Boxers of the Pacific coast, in order not to be outdone by the tennis, golf, and baseball players who have been contributing their prowess for the cause of the Red Cross, are arranging for a monster amateur boxing tourna- ment to be held in the great Exposi- tion auditorium sometime during Sep tember. The Olympic club, which has been especially active in all move ments in support of the war, has
