MANY SHOOTERS
 MAKE HIGH SCORES

A delegation of seven trap shooters came up from King man last Sunday morning and proved to the Williams gun en- thusiasts that there are other shooters in Northern Arizona who can hit the elusive clay pigeons.
 The Kingman boys arrived on No. 2 and after shooting ov- CT the traps from 10 a. m. until 2 p. m., and witnessing the ball game in the afternoon, depart ed for their homes on number seven, expressing themselves as having had one delightful time.
 J. Steed was high man in the preliminary practice, breaking 22 out of a possible 25. The other scores made follow: H.  H. Watkins, 21; F. Thompson, 20; H. c. Price, 20; Finney, 20; Patterson, IS; T. Devine, Is; H, l.. Hoskins, IA; Poison, IS, and R. B. Robinson, II.
 After the above practice shoot, the local club arranged for three events of 20 birds each, two dollars entrance fee, the first and third events being divided 40, 30, 20, 10, and the second, four equal monies.
 The scores of these different events follow with. their rela- tive positions in the purse shot for:

A NEAR TRAGEDY
Deputy Sheriff Wade and Con- stable McDougal to the Res cue

VI o"SoS SoidiIC OlllC0IS Uy Iol- ephone. "Mr. Wade MT. Me McDougal, a young lady has been lost\in the forest at the head of Second street."
 Charley and Scptty, with vis- ions of the kidnapped Miss Armstrong, of Havana, wildly in mind, cranked up their ma- chimes; hastily summoned pos ses; buckled on their trusty armor; examined their glims and hastened to the scene of the tragedy.
 Arriving at the end of the street-which is the city limits, and beyond which stretches an immense forest of great pine trees Messrs Wade and Nc -Dougal, hastily dismounting from their jitneys, prepared to organize their search parties.
 They were greeted with the unwelcome news that the young lady had been rescued before the mountain lions had had a chance to devour her.
 Charlie and George were just hankerin' to tangle up with a mountain lion, and besides, both being gallant gentlemen, wouldn't they be delighted to hold the young lady in their protecting arms and listen to her whispered words of thanks?
 No such luck. Judge Sine and his son-in-law, w. c. Le- fevbre, assistant city engineer of Tucson, had beaten them to it. MT. Lefebvre, a member of the Tucson Home Guard and
 
 several other warlike organi- zations, had brought his rifle with him and wasn't afraid of any measly Northern Arizona mountain lion. He prowled around with genuine Nick liar ris sleuthosity, flashing his light hither and yon; climbing the tallest peaks without fear or hesitation, but could not find anything of the bloody trail.
 Meantime, the Judge had searched under the barn; thru the chicken coop, and wanted to go to bed, coz he had no flashlight. This slim excuse wouldn't go with Mrs. Sine She guessed she hadn't fused with those pine trees for nothing. So the Judge hied himself up over the back fence and beyond, in- to the "deep dense forest" not Swanting any son-in-law of his'n or any common county officer to have anything on the city de- pertinent. Burns was busy and couldn't be found.
 Just then the call was raised to come in for consultation. Was the Judge in a hurry to come in? we'll, yes. He might miss some of the consult, or Charlie or Scotty, or w. c. L.. might overlook the mountain lion, but it was a cinch that the lion would know that he was unarmed.
 Arriving at the rendezvous the rescuers were met by a party of ladies. (presumably come to serve hot coffee) in cludlng Mrs. McDougal and daughter Grace, and several hundreds of others, and were informed that the young lady had become exhausted and had just naturally fallen asleep un- der a tree. She wasn't afraid of a mountain lion, no sir'ee, ner of the grey squirrels, ner the chickuns, ner the grasshop- pers. She was a dear little tot two years old, and none of

K|NGMAN DEFEATS
 WILLIAMS, s ID 2

siastic fans witnessed the ball game between Kingman and Williams Sunday. Much pleas ure was furnished the crowd by the Boys Band and thanks are due George Barnes for his courtesy in bringing out the band. MT. Barnes should also be thanked for furnishing the music for the dance Saturday evening. MT. Reese gave the use of the Sultana practically free. To these gentlemen and to the management much cred it is due for the splendid time given the ,Kingman and other out of town visitors, as well as the town people. It is seldom that Williams has been visited by so courteous a crowd of peo- pie as the Kingman ball tossers and their friends proved to be. Gentlemen in every sense of the word marked their every effort at the ball park. Forty automobiles by actual count, were parked within the grounds. SIT was taken in at the dance and, $59 at the ball game, total of $136.00. The expense of bringing the King man team to Williams, and their entertainment was SAG, leaving a deficit of $1O which will be met by the members of the Williams ball team.
 And say, it was some ball game. The score indicates that Kingman quite outclassed the local pill jugglers, but such is not the case. Kingman has participated in 26 games, of which she is said to have won 23. If this report is true, the Williams boys did remarkably we'll to even score against such seasoned players. Williams has four very creditable play CTS, and it is possible that with more practice, the balance of the aggregation may round in- to shape. The battery, second and third basemen, as lined up Sunday, played the game. Manager Johnson might pos sibly have strengthened the Williams team by replacing the other two in-feld men after the third inning. The s. s. usually |, a consistent player, was re- sponsible for the largest num- Der of errors. In the absence of an official scorer it would appear that Kingman did not secure an earned run. This does not mean that Kingman could not earn runs. but that in the absence of necessity they did not have to earn them. The combatants messed each other around the ball yard for two hours and thirty minutes, but Kingman really copped the pastime in the first inning when they scored two runs and treat ed Williams to a bad egg.
 Hojo pitched a good game Nbut was called upon to use his right arm a little too hard, due to lack of proper support, The Kingman pill tosser. however. did not need to worry about his good right arm, for he is a southpaw and doesn't have oc- casion to feed himself with a right handed spoon. This was the first experience of the Will Hams boys with a left handed slab artist but they took to it like ducks to water. He had plenty of stuff and spilled few passes, but weakened material ly in mid-pastime.

Lion Cubs are Pets.
The lion cubs are immense favorites.
The oldest of them, "Whiskey" is now

him tricks. His chief companion is
the sheepdog, with whom he occupies
