Her many friends will miss her and our comfort will be in the faith of Him who gave himself that we might live.

 PRETTY OCCASION
(From fridays Daiiy.)

Far cclipsing any similar social function given in this city ill many months was that event last night in which the local Elks lodge observed May Day, giving its annual ball. The scene dazzling in the array of beauti- ful women elegantly attired, while the 'oppolsite sex was shown n all Of their galantry, the occasion being graced by many in uniforms of the army and navy.
 The floor for dancing was so con gested that those who desired to in- dulge in this pleasure almost had to forgo doing and itwas estimated there were over 400 couples. present at 70 o'clock with many still entering.
 The scene in short reflected the popularity of this fraternal order and by far was the signal social triumph of the Elks in its history of enter taining. Exalted Ruler E. A. Me Swiggin and Miss Grace McCracken, led the grand march, after which the terpsichorean revclry started ard lasted until the early hours of this morning.

Honoring Our Soldiers

Arizona, like other states, VIII pc looking for honors to heap upon the returning soldiers, particularly these who have distinguished themselves by deeds of valor on the front line.
 Probably no living Arizonan has won more fame in actual fighting than Mai. E. J. Mitchell of the Dist division, who makes his home at Prescott.
 Maj. Mitchell who was with he 2nd battalion of the 363rd regiment, reached San Francisco the other day wearing the Belgian CroiX de Guerre and the American Distinguished Serv- ice Cross. Before entering the serv- ice Mai. Mitchell was county attor- ney of Yavapai county. He had previously been an officer of the First Arizona regiment. Immediate ly upon the entry of America into the war he entered a training camp at San Francisco and was commits stoned a captain He resigned his position as county attorney and went overseas with the Dist division. He won his majority for bravery on the field of battle. .....
 Mai. Mitchell won his Distinguish ed Service Cross at Very on Septem- Der 26 when he led a platoon i'll Ad- vance of the flanking units and Cap tured a battery of German 1858 winch was operating at the time and took 6 officers and 400 men as prisoners. That night he successfully reorgan- ized the line at a point of danger and by his splendid example of courage and coolness succeeded in re-esta5- fishing the most difficult piece of the front line. At Tronsol he maintain ed a position in advance under heavy fire for four days. He won the Bel gian war cross for personal bray cry during the Lys-Scheldt offensive.
 Mai. Mitchell will return to the practice of law at Prescott. He has a wife and daughter living there. In politics, Maj. Mitchell is a Republi- can. He is 3S years of age, has fine presence, a splendid voice and is a pleasing public speaker
 When the Republicans are looking around for Q candidate next year they need not stray far from the Mile High City" which furnished the pres ent governor. Mai. Mitchell looks like a winner, and no better tribute could be paid to the returning sol diers than by naming one of their number for the highest office in the gift of tine people of the state.

ARIZONAN GETS
 SHOT IN MEXICO
CFron Saturdays Dailv.)

Geo. F. Browning, a resident of his section until about three years lgo, going to Mexico to enlist i'll Car ranza's army. after being offered land bonus ill the state of Coahilla. was accidentally shot while crossing the Rio Grande at Laredo, Texas, but will recover.
 The affair occurred over two weeks ago, and is attributed to a bullet -ichochetting, the gun being fired on the Mexican side of the river, so q military investigation reported. Browning, however, believes that his life was sought, as some of the sol diers in that zone were enemies when he first went into service.
 At any rate he proposes to keep him self hereafter in American territory out of rifle range. He mas never received the land he fought for, and his only compensation to date has been a few handfuls of adobie dol dars. Five others from this section of Arizona who went to fight have fared likewise.

SOLDIERS TAKE ON FLAGSTAFF
 FOR SUNDAY
(From Saturdays Da;ly.J

The announcement last Sunday by Dan Seaman that there would be ball game tomorrow at the Northern Arizona Fair Grounds, was right, af- ter all. Whipple Barracks will not play in Phoenix because there IS a tot of flu or something down there, and Major Bew has held the team here.
 Captain Van Horn got on the long distance and secured the Flagstaff team. for the May date.
 Tie grounds have been worked over some more, and will be in fine shape for the game.
 After the War Vets got back to Phoenix last Sunday, their manager ;ssued a statement criticizing the weather and blaming 1t for their de feat But the mountaineers from Flagstaff will, of course, not have this objection. They will handle the ball fine, in spite of co-o-o-o-ld and snowy weather.
 Sunday will be red letter day in Prescott insofar as baseball is con cerned. Flagstaff boasts of an ex- cellent ball team, one which is ac- -ustomed not only to the weather put also the altitude.
 While Prescott claims the Whip )le team as her own, efforts are be- ing put forth to round up a local ,ity nine and in due time, this will probably come to pass. In the days Gone by, Prescott rated an al base 5all team and there is every reason Q believe that the town team will bring into existence ere long. The pig game between the soldiers and he Skylight boys will be called ap- ,roximately at three. Prior to this game, the Yavapai Club nine will meet the Construction team from Fort Whipple. Thus a big double reader game will be given for the admission price of one.
 The Flagstaff team will leave at ,leven o'clock Saturday night, arriv- ng in Prescott, four o'clock Sunday morning. The following players nake up the Flagstaff nine: May, Williams, Dahl, Ossler, Kennedy, Norman, Smith, Fagg, Currier, Horne, akle and Hanley.
 The teams throughout tne State Ire having a rather stiff time, figur- ng out how they can beat the Whip ,le team but Flagstaff is confident ;he will hand Whipple its Water %" Sunday.
