OAK Grove

For years. Halloween socials have
heen held at Oak Grove, but it is
doubtful if any class ever provided
more unique program than the
Juniors did on Saturday evening.
They had been working for weeks
in deepest secrecy, and every detail
showed the results. The gymnasium
was completely transformed into
charming setting for the party. Great
witches. cats. and owls We're silhou-
cited in black against the golden o2k
Of the gym walls, while bonny Dutch
curtains in bright yellow draped the
many small windows. All the settees
were covered with gay couch covers
and cushions. Each corner Of the
sym was decorated with evergreen
trees in the midst OF which We're
booths. One OF these held the web
of fate" another offered miniature
witches for sale: a third provided
regular Halloween stunts; and the
fourth was provided Spr an archery
contest. Many delightful little prizes
We're awarded. Besides all these at
fractions. a most entertaining pro-
gram was presented. Two giant
black cats, too realistic to be- false,
provided a unique number of cat
songs and stunts. The clever little
farce showing the new doctor who
could completely change his patients
made a great hit The next number
was the dance of the mystic COLLINS,
that were uncanny objects in tight
black costumes on which the COM
blcte white skeleton appeared, and
the rattling Of bones accompanied
their greWsome dance. Then a hide
Gus dwarf, ZuIensky Zazzanike. was
introduced and performed some re-
markable stunts that convulsed the
audience, when an accident 10 his
costume revealed his double identity,
A shrowded medium appeared and
answered the Q.estions from the
audience with remarkable insight.
Between each number music was
furnished by Harriet Towle %, pi-
5nist and Yvonne Gagnon '23, violin
lst, and "spooky" ghosts glided about
the darkened room. After the enter
tainment the daring spirits Wended
their way through the perjlous lower
regions OF the basement. where many
snares and pitfalls met the way
farers. In ten minutes the whole
party was back and enjoying the first
match. After the usual games and
marches the jolly party closed with
Oak Grove songs. and as the merry
makers were unsuspectinely led by
the Junior class president beneath
the long balcony. great cloud OF
confetti shoTered everyone.

TWO CITY RIDERS
 RIDE FOR 4 FALL
Miss Catherine Meeker and Guy Parker Thrown from Horses
 and Slightly Bruised
CFrom Tuesday's Daily)

Similar accidents yesterday befell two persons in different parts of the town, when Miss Catherine Meeker and Guy Parker were thrown from their horses, suffering scratches and bruises.
 Miss Meeker was riding toward the Frontier grounds, and as she came abreast of the Mercy hospital her horse, as though actuated by chivalrous sentiments, selected that particular spot to cut his capers on. He started up, and Miss Meeker, in an attempt to stick to him, dug her spurs in. The result was like that gained by opening the throttle. She was thrown, and dragged for some little distance along the road.
 Fortunately, the bruise sustained by Miss Meeker were not serious. She made her way into the Mercy hospital, where her hurts were dressed.
 Guy Parker was thrown from his horse as he was riding near the plaza. He was not seriously hurt, merely sustaining a few. scratches on the face, and small body bruise or two. He was treated at the Mercy.

 Testimony offered by Sheriff Davis yesterday established that Davis, notified by telephone that a shooting had occurred at the Gloria hotel, went to the Sscene in company with Tom McMahon, chief of police, and that there he found Roark on the floor with a bullet wound ill his right side. In the room were Mrs. c. H. Bishop, who had notified the sheriff's office, and Mrs. Woodruff. Roark was removed to the county hospital. He died at about II o'clock a. m.
 Mrs. Woodruff, Sheriff Davis tes- tified, was taken into custody and lodged in the county jail. The sher- if stated, under question from Coun- ty Attorney John L. Sullivan, he was satisfied that an attempt had been made to commit murder

WINS WARM WELCOME

CoL/ J. H. McClintock, state his
 torian, arrived in the city last night especially to attend the meeting ol
 the Hassayampa Pioneer society held
 at the court house In order to
 make the trip and be present, he had
 10 forego the pleasure of addressing Q gathering of the Loyal Pima tribe of Indians on the reservation. The colonel IS personally acquainted with many of the chiefs and leaders of that tribe and hated to miss their patriotic assemblage, but felt that his duty as a historian of the state could not miss a meeting of some of the makers of some of the most i'm portant history of Arizona and the southwest. Colonel McClintock, then a major, was with Buckley O'Neill when at the nations call an army was mustered out to fight Spain, and he noted that while only a half a dozen men of the Spanish-Amer- ican war were registered at yester- days celebration, that it was still more striking that not a single Roughrider was present. The col one1 is alive to the significance of every bit of current history, and 1 -ealizes that events of today may be ,f importance historically a genera ion hence, and his wide acquaint- .nce and genial manner assure him ready welcome wherever he goes.
