CONTESTS
 BE HELD SUNDAY
First Ford Races of the N. A. A. A. Will be Run off at Fair Grounds Course; Admission Cut for Larger Crowds.

The first Ford races to be given under the auspices of the Northern Arizona Automobile association. re- organized recently from the Prescott Racing club, will be held at the fair grounds next Sunday, May 28. Sev- eral changes have been made in con duct of automobile racing in Pres colt, in the policy of the new or ganization. Most important of these is the reduced admission. The price of tickets has been cut exactly in
 laf, i'll order to permit fans to pay
 transportation fares to the grounds, and to induce a larger crowd to at tend the races. Secondly, the time of the events has been changed from 2:30 o'clock until B. in order to per init the patients at Whipple to get to the grounds in time to see the events.
 Continuation of automobile racing in Prescott, it is remarked in a statement of the management of the association, depends upon public sup port. These races" said Harry Temple, "are not being run for money. If we come out with some thing ahead to put in the treasury for running expenses, after paying the prize money and the operation costs, we will be satisfied. Those who win the prizes will little more than break even, after the expenses of putting their cars into shape; while those who lose will also be out
 he expense of repairing their cars"
 The races, said Temple, are being conducted purely for the sport of the thing, and consequently public
 upport is necessary. With the low admission, it is undoubted that lovers of good sports will flock to the fair grounds in crowds Sunday.
 About ten cars, all in first class shape, have been entered for the hree events, preliminary five-mile race, and two main events of 10 and 25 miles respectively With the racers busily tuning up their cars and motors, these events should be run off in good time and should furnish some real thrills. =.
 About 250 paid admissions were received at the last race held by the Prescott Racing club" said Temple. "This amount should be doubled at Sundays event, and those who sat out on the rocks ought to come in side and pays their admission like true sportsmen. Bud Nelson, the far
 amed speed-demon, has returned from Colorado, and will be in the events."

 You can just take him as he is, but there is one thing about this gift, there is nothing Indian in it. We never want to see him on the ranch or in our neighborhood again.

While many of these arc new men, several re- ceutly received arc from those ia miliar in the Frontier days arena.

POISON MYSTERY IN LIFE OF WARD COMES
 TO LIGHT, HOLD OF
 BLACKMAILERS DARK

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, May 9. Waiter s. Ward, wealthy baker $ son, who yesterday surrendered him. self with the statement that last week he had shot in Self-defense Clarence Peters, an ex-marine whom he charged with blackmailing him, nearly died from poison about six weeks ago. This became known late today when Dr. Orville Schell stated that he had been summoned to the home of young Ward and found him writhing on the floor with an empty bottle of poison beside him.
 Tt is my personal opinion that the taking of the poison was accidental, pr. Schell said. "Mr. Ward is sub jcct to very severe headaches and it is an easy thing to get medicines mixed in the dark. He had mar row escape"
 Meanwhile the authorities spent the day checking up in detail the story told by Ward of running pistol fight with three alleged blackmailers with whom he had held a rendez- vous. The nature of the hold which they had upon him and which was alleged to have led to a $30,000 pay ment remains secret.

SCOUTS HOLD FILM
 SHOW FOR PUBLIC

Yesterday evening the Boy Scouts and number of school boys and girls at the high school witnessed the films which the forest service had loaned the scouts. The pictures were of instructional and entertain ing nature The first reel showed the days work of a forest ranger Signaling, trail-building, fire-fighting, etc, were interesting portrayed. Be- tween reels, Prof. Neal D. Moore, principal of the high school, an nounced that these pictures were the first of series scheduled to appear i'll Prescott through the courtesy of the forest service. The second reel showed various groups vacationing on the forests.
 Of special interest was the scene showing the normal school of Fres- no, Calif., holding its summer ses- sion under canvas. A scene that brought applause from the scouts was that which showed scouts from Washington enjoying their annual summer camp on the forest. The activities of the scouts in camp was portrayed in an interesting manner. With a summer camp for Prescott scouts just ill the offing, this was considerably enjoyed. Proper and improper uses of the forests were shown, particularly the building of camp-fires and the use of fire and its attending dangers to the trees.
 The school authorities were kind in permitting the use of the building and lights. The Red Cross at Whip pie Barracks furnished the machine and Percy Forgays operated it most efficiently The scouts expressed gratitude to all who made this show ing possible, and cordially invite the public to further showings from time to time.

 HELP IN FINDING OF ONE FORMER SOLDIER

LMr. F- is a first cousin of mine.
 We have heard very little of MT. F-- in the last two months and that indirectly. Up until the latter part of March, I believe, we cores bonded frequently and kept pretty well informed as to his condition. Then we learned that he had been transferred to Prescott and on ac- count of the lack of sufficient ad- dress, we failed to write him for some weeks. Nv mother received a card from him about two weeks ago, on which he said he was not able to write more. About a week ago mailed him a letter Of course. we have not had time to receive reply from him. We are so anxious about him and trust if you aren't too heav- lily burdened with such requests that you will write us.
 MT F-- Is mighty fine fellow, as you will probably already have learned. He has a number of rela- tives here and they are all much con- cerncd about him. If there is any thing he needs, please do not hcsi- tate to tell us about it.
