ANY PLACE, ANY
 TIME AUTO WRECKED

Last night about o'clock a man by the name of Russell, driving the rent car of John Crune of this city which has become well known by the sign Any Where, Any lime ' tumbled down the grade of one oi inc sharp curves on Cherry Greet, hill. There were two women oc- cupants and two men, including tlic driver. but their names were not ob- tanablc last night. One of the women was badly scratched about the face as far as appearances went but her injuries were not considered serious.
 The car itself seemed in pretty bad shape to passersby, as it lay on the rocks below, but as to whether it can be rehabilitated, none vcmtured to guess. Mr. Crume said he was gong to buy new car and go right along the same as ever. He says he will go Any Place, Any How
 Considerable excitement got abroad during the day to the effect that the accident to the car with man by the name of Russell, for the reason that some one reported it to be D. ".

But, imagine his wrath and chagrin when he re- turned the next day to gather up the wreck and found his tires, tools, inner tubes, extra can of lubriCating oil, and even his pocket knife from his covcralls he left on the car, had all been stolen.

NEW VENIRE IS
 CALLED FOR MAY r

The bond election being over and the mind of the public set on good roads, and lots of them, people rep resenting almost every section in the county are beginning to wake up and figure on what they can do 10 help the good cause along. The fact that the Jerome narrow gauge railroad which is soon to be abandoned as railroad, has caused quite a ripple of interest in the proposed plan to have the county accept the roadbed as a gift from the shelter people, and buy the bridges, culvcrt, etc, and change it into an automobile road.
 The original suggestion was made that the entire road be preserved but some objection was raised on ac- count of the narrowness of the grade in the rougher sections and the short ness of the curves. Now, a new sug- -restion is being made that the part that reaches out into the rough mountain be abandoned and that the first several miles of it be used and a few miles of road be built across from the old railroad bed to connect up with the new Jerome short line, thus making an excellent outer loop road to join with the present double lo9w road around via Jerome June ton.
 A delegation will go before the meeting of the board of supervisors at its meeting next Monday, and ask for the consideration of this proposi- ton. It is reported to have the en- dorsement of some of the leading good road boosters in the county, and they will be there to present the proposition.

Business Man For Short, Good Roads
 For General Utility

w. w. Elliott was in Jerome yes terday on business, driving over by automobile He says the old road is in as good condition as he usually finds, but that he feels about half angry every time he makes the drive when he thinks of the new short line that should have been in operation for the last ten years or more. He says every one who has done any travelling between here and Jerome has lost many a good many miles, the new line being almost twice as short as the old one.
 Mir. Elliott is looking after busi- ness for the Arizona Mine Supply company, and was just about to launch into a general discussion of the tremendous amount of time and money lost by the public generally by reason of not having first class roads and short roads where possi- ble. when a customer came in, and he let the subject drop.

MASONS GO TO
 JEROME FOR CEREMONY

About thirty-iive members of the Masonic fraternity left in cars and on trains during the day for Jerome and Clarkdale to attend a special meeting with third degree work in sight A banquet is to follow the class work, and all the Masons O! the two copper cities are expected to be in attendance. At late hour last evening the report came that the mayors ol Jerome and Clarkdale had turned over the keys of those two cities to the Masons and told that they could have all the heavy ma chinery. and all the high voltage lines, as well as the deep holes and wild goats from the hills that might be needed for any purpose in con- nection with the work For that req son some oi the bunch had thought it best to take one or two Of the widest of the unframed aspirants fOc Masonic lore over to get just those promised things. There is Henry Brinkmeyer, IT,, who had taken the first two degrees of his work i'll Nir- ginia while away at war, and he is to be finished up here for the Nir- pinia lodge and 1t must be done right, and the heavy machinery must be had so that he will not be q disgrace to the state that boasts being the of 4ba praciJgutS
 It is a sure thing that many speeches will be made after the banquet, alM it is understood that Tony Johns will tell about the League of the Southwest in its great purpose to bridle the power of the Colorado river and hitch it to the blow of prog rcss, and divert its waters to irri- gate the lands of Arizona and California.
 Since his trip to the meeting of the league in Los Angeles recently, Tony has become greatly cnthused over the greatness Of the project. He says that money, engineering skill and perseverance will do to that great river what packing house does to a fat pig, which it IS said saves everything but the squeal. Everything of the river will be util- .izcd but the noise of the falling cat aracts.
 The subjects of other orators is not known, but there are some as eloquent as Tony, and no doubt the session will be one long to be re- mcmbcrcd in the twin cities of copper.

PRESCOTT WINS BY
 HOMER; CLOSE CONTEST

The fastest and best ball game this season was that between Mayer aEa Prescott. staged at Humboldt, Sun- day. About 50 went from Prescott to accompany the home team. While considerable excitement was shown on the part of the players, both Mayerites and Prescott's players did fairly well, everything considered.
 The game resulted i'll victory tor Prescott. the. score was five to five in the eighth inning, but Prescott managed to bring home real play in the ninth, and to hold Mayer down to goose egg. Wildhaber showed speed when he brought ill the home run which resulted in victory for the Prescott players. Much interest IS being shown i'll the teams through out this section. This is attributed to the fact that all of the players are local men and not imported. Stum- baugh. pitching for Prescott, lasted the nine innings ill good style.
 The playing of Mayer was eN- cellent and real form was shown with O'Bricn and Wells. No spectacular plays were made with the exception of the homer by Wildhaber. A good crowd of rooters from Mayer, Pres colt and Humboldt made the game an interesting one. The Prescott players were taken to Humboldt by Bill Lowthian, Market, Rief, Clutch field Brothers and Rex Dickinson. Beaddy of Mayer, one of the best players on the Mayer team, had tough luck when he knocked what looked like home run, but resulted in q foul.
 The game required four umpires, but satisfaction was finally given when Donovan got behind the box. Apparently his umpiring was satis- factory to both sides, for he was able to hold both teams down, with Van Horn serving as base umpire.
 The occasion of the baseball game next Sunday in Clarkdale, which Is the date set for the next big league" game of the Yavapai players, is thought to be an excellent time for the live wires of Prescott to go along and get in word cdgewise on the subject of Frontier Day. A number
