GEISENDORFER IS BURNEDBADLY
 AT BAGDAD

II. A. Geisendorfer, general man ager of the Bagdad Copper Company operating a big property ont west Iof Hillside, was severel yan danger Iously burned Monday night by the explosion oi can of lubricating oil.
 It occurred in peculiar manner. His company has two churn drilling
 plants at work sinking testing holes
 in disseminated porphry copper de .posits. The drills had been shut
 down for the night, and after dark
 one oi the Mexican woou choppers
 turned in fire alarm stating that Drill Rig No. Z was on fire MT. Geisendorfer mounted his horse
 hastily and rushed to the fire. He
 was the first man on the ground and the. fire was in the woodpile and storage shed near the drill rig. He began to put water O nthe fire to eN- tinguish it, but, can of lubricatng oil was in the flames unnoticed by Geisendorfer, and the first bucket of water landed on the hot can, which exploded, and threw burning oil all over him, and i'll an instant he was ablaze from head to foot. There was a big tank of water at hand and he jumped into the water, thus eX- tinguishing the flames, but, not until after he was very severely burned on the hands and face and parts of his body.
 If ii had not been fer the handy open tank of water he would have been the victim of cremation, alive. distinguishing the fire by water, na- turallv made very painful burns, but it was the only possibly means oi his saving himself, at all.
 Word was phoned as hastily as possible for Dr. Looney who went in his automobile 10 Copper Greek and took care of the burned man. He was brought back with the Dr. and is now comfortably bandaged up in the Sisters Hospital in this city. He is in a sad plight, but is thank ful that he was able to get out ol the bad mess as well as he did.
 The damage to the drill rig was nothing, the only damage being to q small shed and some wood, eX- cept the personal damage to MT Just how the fire Ori- einated has not been reported, but probably a spark had caught in the dry bark of the cedar wood. and had smouldered alone from the time be- fore the men left work, and got started into a flame later.

TOMMY MILTON EARNS SPEED
 KING TITLE

By his clean-cut victories at Ia coma and Uniontown, following his win of third place at Indianapolis, Tommy Milton has served notice that he must be given full consideration as an aspirant for the 1920 speedway point championship.
 As a matter of fact, Milton's 156- mile-an-hour dash over the Florida beach last winter was only an inci- dent in his long apprenticeship. He began driving races in his own road ster, on half-mile tracks and grad uated to speedway ranks only after two seasons on the minor ovals.
 Unmarred By Success
 Success has never turned Tommy's head. He remains the same quiet, modest, well-bred youngster he was before he became famous.
 Veteran critics see in Milton's driv- ing flany characteristics that once featured the work of Barney Old field, master driver" of the older generation of pilots. This fact is un-

world. The lodges of Northern Ari- zona were awake to the possibilities of advertising this section of Arizona and have gone 10 the trouble to get the float built and have the feeling that great results will be felt for this stand for progress.
 The float idea was worked out by James F. Treagle Of Prescott, and a rough design was made and presented 10 the lodge here which suggested it to the grand lodge and it was ap- proved. The greatest resources of Northern Arizona were readily recog- rizcd to be copper, cattle and cotton. They are named not to the exclusion of any kindred industry, but merely to keep the sound euphoneous and three "C's' caught the eye and ear of all.

JUDGES NAMED AND COWBOYS ATTEND WEDDING CEREMONY
 WITH OLD TIME NOISY ECLA7

Contestants in the various Frontier Days events had just selected the judges who are to award them prizes or oust them from the competition. Lester Ruffner, the arena director was engaged with Lee Haworth in securing the names of those who wanted 10 ride their own saddles in the bucking contest. The meeting room at the Chamber of Commerce was filled with deliberating cow punchers.
 Suddenly the air was rent by a high long yell such as only range men know how to utter.

 With yells and yips and stomp ing of boots the throng trooped across the hall into Judge McLane's chambers where q fussed pair stood waiting A marriage license lay on the table.
 With an audience. such as never bride and groom had in this town, Judge McLane then united in mar riage Adolf Bergman of Whipple Barracks and New York and Minnie Pearce of these parts. And as he said, "I pronounce you man and wife" the marrying magistrate threw mp both hands and holler, "Let'er go" and the boys let 'er Somebody had secured the big AS Colts pistol with which the races are to be started and let fly a volley of blanks, and the ceremony was over.

Be Sure to Hear Her

If you had artistic temperament, a
fine voice, and good musical founda-
ton, and it was your good fortune to
have been heard by Caruso; and if
Caruso told you personally that you
had voice of great promise, wouldn't
you be just little bit enthusiastic?
This was the interesting personal
experience of Josephine MARITIME, the
well known prima donna, who is to
appear here in joint recital with Vitali
Podolsky the noted violinist. Some
thing over year ago it was Miss
Marines privilege to appear before
Caruso, Alexander Lambers and Gatti-
Cassaza, three of the most prominent
men in the musical world today. They
were all very much impressed with
Miss Marines voice, and all predicted
a great career for her. The great
world tenor, Carlso, has been consid-
erably interested in her work and mas
coached her in several operate nun.-
bers which she is using on the present
tour.
Miss MARITIME is young singer who
has. come into wide prominence during
the last few years. Her home is in
Akron, Ohio. She possesses very
unusual voice-unusual because Of its
intrinsic sweetness and beauty, unus-
ual because of the charming manner
of its presentation, and unusual be-
cause of its remarkable range of pow
er. She has voice that truly fingers
on in the memory Of those who hear it
A couple Of years ago President Will
son heard her sing and took the trou-
BILE to compliment her personally. Dur.
ing the early fall of 1920 she is to ap-
