LOCAL OU|NTETTE
 WALLOPS W|NSLOW

Last Saturday night Kingman ad- ded another victory to its list, by de- feating Winslow AS to 39 in the fast est game of basketball ever played on the local court.
 The Kingman boys took the offen- sive right at the start, making ten points to Winslow's three in the first two minutes of play; from then on Kingman set the pace, outclassing their opponents all through the game. When the first half was over the score stood 28 to IS in Kingman's favor with the local boys going strong.
 The last half started off as in the first with the locals stacking up points with surprising frequency, but about ten minutes before the finish Winslow staged a comeback and stacked up a few points which in creased their side of the score some what. When the game ended King

of like nature. The blackface boys, iSenz, Andrews, Homer and Casson, put over a lot of good jokes, funny songs and pranks. Senz, Andrews and Horner each sang a blackface song that drew an encore. The Mccarthy sisters dressed in bellhop uniforms, red as a desert sky, furnished con- tinual amusement, among other things repeating the dance that made hit at the previous performance, and each singing a comedy song that got over strong. Mrs. L. J. Parker and Mrs. Aubrey Sims, as bells of New Orleans both handled their song numbers we'll. Ed Hoerst and Murray Carrow each handled ballad in good shape, each surpassing their previous performance along this line. Mrs. Maude Emery sang solo in here us- ual capable manner, and Ted Carter wound up this part of the show with a we'll rendered song number after which was the finale.
 T. B. Carter managed and directed the show and, to him credit is due:
 Members of the orchestra were: Mrs. Hunt, Able Bale, James Curtin and Bob Massey. Helen Pope super vised the ushers. The settings for the doll novelty act were furnished by the Quality Shop.
 It was good show, folks, and you missed it if you were not there.

J. w. MORGAN

V' W. Moi gan, oIle Ol Iile Olu ClHl CTS of this county, died at the hom, of his son, J. E. Morgan, near King man, last Saturday morning, Feblu ary 4, death being due to a compli cation of disorders.
 J.W. Morgan was born in the citN of San Francisco in 1854, where ht secured an education in the common schools of that city. In 1876 he came to Arizona, engaging in mining al the old Silver King, in Pinal county later removing to Globe. In the early eighties he came to Mohave county where he made his permanent home. Here he was engaged in min- ing and other pursuits. For two terms he served the county of Mohave as Recorder and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, failing eyesight com polling him to finally relinquish the offices. For the past year or two he has resided with his son on little ranch. In politics he was an uncom- promising democrat but still counted his friends among the other party by the hundreds, his geniality and cour- teous attention to the needs of the people endearing him to all. No man in public life in this part of the state ever surrounded himself with more a,eithful followers than J. w. Morgan. In office he Knew no friend nor foe, treating all alike.
 In the demise of Joseph w. Morgan the state has sustained an irreparable loss, and the county of Mohave one of the best friends it ever had. In every movement for the advancement of the county and state he was al ways at the front, and the good work done will live long after him.
 The funeral took place Tuesday af- ternoon at 2 o'clock from Elks Hall, under the auspices of the local lodge of Elks, of which he had long been an honored member. The auditorium was filled to the door by mourning relatives and friends, and the longest line of automobiles ever seen in King man followed the remains to the grave in Mountain View cemetery. The bier was banked with great masses o1 lovely flowers and greenery, tributes of many friends.
 Deceased leaves a son and num- Der of near relatives to mourn his death, as well as hundreds of olo time friends whose sorrow is as keen as though he were kin. May his rest beneath the sod in this sunland ot ours be peaceful and may the God ir his merciful providence guide his sou '.tn Paradise.

PETER CAFFERY

The funeral of the late Peter Cat- fiery was held from the Van Marter undertaking parlors last Saturday af- ternoon, a large number of oldtime friends and acquaintances following the remains to their last resting place in the Mountain View cemetery Peter Caffery was fine old fellow beloved by all who knew him for his many unselfish qualities, and the friends that knew him best will ever pray for the repose of his soul.
 As the years roll on these old timers who blazed the way for western clvl- lization are fast passing to the great beyond. and more or less their good deeds on earth are being forgotten These men braved the snows or tne mountains and the heat of the desert In search of treasure and to them IS ,ue the finding of the treasure houses fl America and the development o1 (he resources that have made our

DEL SEEKER

Del Sherer passed away last Tues day morning, after an illness of but a few days, death being due to pneu- monia. MT. Sherer had returned from Illinois about ten days ago, where he attended the funeral of his father, and appeared in the best of health. He was taken ill last Saturday and grew gradually worse until death, although every effort was made that medical skill could devise.
 Del Sherer was born in the state of Illinois on the 18th of January 1860, and came to this county about fifteen years ago on account of pOol health, being afflicted with rheuma- tism. He had been engaged in min ing in other localities in the state and took up the same pursuit here. He was also active in the cattle business but sold his interests about ten years ago.
 He was elected supervisor of this county at the election of 1920 and was selected as chairman at the first meet ing of the board last year. During his term of office he has been active in road work and other measures that made for the development of our re- sources. He was kindly, genial man and had friends wherever known, and his death was a shock to the people of the whole county.
 Services were held in Elks Hall Wednesday morning, large number of the order and friends turning out to pay their last tribute to the de- parted. The bier was draped with evergreen and beautiful floral of ferings. The remains were shipped to the old home in Barry, Illinois on the morning train, the remains being accompanied by his niece, Miss Rosa Hill. There are left to mourn his loss one sister and number of nieces and nephews in Illinois.

APPOINTMENTS BY
 BD. OF SUPERVISORS

The board of supervisors met Thurs day last and filled the vacancy in the office of county recorder by the cleo tion of w. H. Welch, the filling of this office being made imperative by the accumulation of business. MT. Welch has been clerk of the board of supervisors the past years and has been one of the most courteous of of- ficials, as we'll as being competent and efficient. That he will fill the office with credit to himself and to the sat- isfaction of the people of the county goes without saying.
 Mrs. J. R. Thompson, who has been assistant clerk of the board of supervisors, was appointed clerk of the board to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of w. H. Welch. Mrs. Thompson is capable and efficient clerk and her selection to the office is a source of qualification to her many friends as we'll as an expression of the members of the board in her ability.

man was beginning to show up strong again making the last basket.
 Greer, Hilty, Hoffman, Minear and White started off the game, Hoffman going out on account of illness about 2 minutes before the finish, St. Char les took his place. A minute later Greer went out on fouls, St. Charles changing to center and Hoffman go- ing back in as forward.
 The three man defense of Minear, Greer and White was the outstand- ing feature of the game; the defense put up by them being almost impreg- nable, this together with the effect i've support of the forwards Hilty and Hoffman, made defeat impossible, Hoffman's basket tossing was extra, good. This fighting forward landed 12 field goals.
 J. w. Patterson acted as referee and his decisions were never chal- lenged.
 This last victory makes the fifth consecutive success for the local boys and places them as probably the strongest team in the Northern part of the state and possibly, the entire state. Winslow beat Flagstaff Nor maj on their own court two nights before playing us, and Flagstaff is considered one of the strongest teams in the state, which shows that King man has not been playing dubs, but strong teams of many years exper- fence.
 The attendance at the last few games has been exceedingly small,. which is to be regretted, as no athletic club can long exist if their community does not support it financially. The High School Athletic Assn, has not solicited any donations from the pub lie nor doess it intend to, but it does expect the town to support it by att tending its games, guaranteeing more thrills for your money than you can get anywhere in town for the same admission.
 The team left yesterday morning for Flagstaff to play the normal. Unfortunately Hoffman could not go on account of illness and so in the last practice before the boys left White was switched to forward, and Greer to left guard. The result of last nights game is recorded in another place in this paper.

R. J. FERGUSON

Frank Ferguson and sister, Mrs. T w. Jenkins, have returned from Phoenix, where they were called by the death of their father, R. J. Fer guson. MT. Ferguson died in the Cap ital City about ten days ago, after a long illness. He was for many years heavily interested in mining in this county, his activities being confined to the territory in and around Chlo- ride. The 600 foot shaft on the Elk hart mine at Chloride was sunk un- der the management of MT. Ferguson, and the big mill was also designed and erected by him. He leaves several children and a widow to mourn his loss.

 Following this was the novelty sketch put on by Ned, Ted and Pat. The Mccarthy sisters are always good and Ted making up the trio they put on a song and dance sketch that got them a good hand.
 Parker and Ferguson put on a Dutch dance that was fully as good as the Pickaninny dance put on at the last performance. In their neat little dresses and wooden shoes they made a hit.
 A male quartette consisting of Car ter, Baumgardner, Stewart and Rob- inson furnished the audience with some very good entertainment. These boys have good voices and sing well together. !,
