LOYALTY LEAGUE
BOOSTS RED CROSS
WITH MOVIE FILM

Endeavoring to stimulate interest in
the carrying on of Red Cross work, the
Loyalty League gave five-reel show
to the citizens of Ray last Tuesday
evening, at which time, during inter-
mission, Rev. R. B. Cocks gave an in
spring talk on why we should all be
actively interested in this great work.
He commended the work being done
by the women of Ray and spoke espe-
cially to the men, who, by giving a
dollar or two dollars regularly each
month, will, collectively, create there
by a sufficient fund out of which the
needed supplies can be bought for the
ladies to work with
Individually, we cannot render any
great service, but if each man, woman
and child will do his bit great serv-
ice can be rendered Within a few
days the Loyalty League will institute
a drive to raise a permanent fund of
$1,000 per month in this camp, at
which time pledge cards will be cir
culated.

CUTLER-HAYDEN
NUPT|ALS WERE
ADRO|TLY PLANNED

Cupid sure found the happy hunting
ground when he struck upon Ray. His
latest victims were Frank Hayden,
chief mechanic in Jones garage, and
Miss Mildred (Slivers) Cutler, who
were married Friday, the 8th, at the
home of l.. P. Jones by Rev. Fitch.
While it was rumored CD that the
young couple were very fond of each
other, they kept their plans under
cover and were we'll on their way to
Phoenix for their honeymoon before
their friends knew anything about it.
Mr.. and Mrs. George McCauley were
the only attendants.
However, vengeance is patient and
long-suffering and awaited their return
on Monday, when Mr.. Hayden was
ruthlessly dragged away from his
bride and a charge of stealing one of
Rays most popular girls" was placed
against him. Judge O'Donnell sat on
the bench, and Attorney Darnell pros
ecuted the case against the defendant,
who acted as his own attorney. The
defendant pleaded guilty, and a SEN
tence of one night in Jail was i'm
posed, but owing to the fact that the
jail was overcrowded, he was trans
ferred to the Owl club, which did not
prove to be a good Jail, for Hayden
made his escape via the roof before
daybreak.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayden will make
their home at 200 Hercules HILL

SERVICES IN MEMORY
Of ]. FRED HERMANN
LARGELY ATTENDED

Services in memory of J. Frederick
Hermann were held in the Methodist
church here last Saturday morning at
10 o'clock, the funeral sermon being
preached by Rev. Phillips.
That Mr. Hermann had a great many
friends in Ray was evidenced by the
large attendance.
Mr.. Hermans body was then accom-
panied by his wife and relatives to
Tempe, where services were held at
the grave on Sunday afternoon at
o'clock in the Double Butte cemetery
under the auspices of the Knights of
Pythias and the Pythian Sisters.
A son, Herbert Herman, is expected
here a few days from Camp John
ston, Florida.
Those who prepared the music for
the funeral of Mr.. ]. F. Hermann wish
to explain to the relatives and friends
why the music was not furnished.
On account of misunderstanding the
service began before the appointed
hour, which prevented the choir from
taking part.
1t is not the intention to blame any
one, but to explain that the members
of the church did not fail to sympa-
thize with the family and to do all
possible to carry out their wishes.

MANAGER HAYDEN
DRUG COMPANY IS
CALLED BY DEATH

HAYDEN, Arizona, February ID
A great shock to the community and
to his friends was the death from
pneumonia of Mr.. Joseph Fitzgerald,
the well-known and popular manager
of the Hayden Drug company. His
death occurred Monday and took
place with great suddenness. A short
time previous Mr.. Fitzgerald had gone
home from the store, complaining of
a pain in his side, which he thought
was pleurisy His indisposition grew
rapidly worse, and in spite of every
effort for his relief, he was soon be-
yond hope. Funeral services took
place in Phoenix, whittier the body was
conveyed on Tuesday.
Mr.. Fitzgerald had been a resident
of Hayden for over seven years, COM
ing here when the town was in it's in
fancy. He was associated with DR..
Wylie when the latter had charge of
the Hayden hospital, and later became
the manager and moving spirit of the
Hayden Drug company, whose success
was due in great measure to his pains
taking and wise management. In him
the people of Hayden lose a good
business man, kind and helpful
friend, and loyal citizen. He leaves
surviving him wife and two sisters,
one of whom is living in the east, the
other being Mrs. Kathryn Ethridge, a
resident of Hayden.

HAYDEN LOSES
HERB HALL AND
JOHNSON, TOO

HAYDEN, Ariz.,a Feb 12.-It looks
as though the Hayden baseball team
would suffer some sad depletions, af-
ter all, before next season starts. It
is. learned with sincere regret that
Herb Hall is, to leave us next month.
to go back to Detroit to start the
season with the Tigers. The town
will miss him, not only as pitcher,
but as a genial, likeable young fellow,
whose modesty We'd with his talents.
1t is also asserted that Rankin John
son, Hayden's other pitcher, is going
east to join the Philadelphia Nationals,
having been sold to them by Milwau-
kee. Johnson himself has not given
out definite statement of his inten-
tions, but it is sincerely hoped that
he will reconsider and remain with
us. The field wouldn't look like itself
not to see his big frame and cheerful
smile coming along about the seventh
inning to yank victory back to our
side over a hard-fought field.

n the selective service act. With
enk k,were Thomas Sisson, an ex-con-

e younger Powers, accompanied by
sson, appeared at the fathers cabin,

Burch Not on Tuscania

Speaking of ball players, when the
news came that the Tuscania had been
friend Barney Burch's company on
board, it was feared that our former
catcher himself had been among the
missing. When his name did not ap-
pear, however, big sigh of relief
went up. Inquiries resulted in it's be-
ing learned that Burch had stayed be-
hind, sick in hospital, when the
steamer sailed, and so in all proba-
bility escaped a watery grave.
