FLAGSTAFF LOST FIRST
GAME in KINGMAN, 81

Flagstaff lost the first baseball
game of the season at Kingman on
Sunday by one point, the final being
S-2. 1t was closely fought game, as
the score shows, and interesting
throughout. Score was 20, Flag
staff's favor until the 8th.
Kingman had played several games
this season and is in tip-top shape.
That our boys, with the short prac-
tice season, should make a showing
like this is evidence that we are very
much in the game this summer and
have a club that is we'll worth sup
porting to the limit.
Manager Fred Browning put In the
following lineup:
Curtis, 3b.; Reid, S.; Bowman, 2b.;
Harris, 1b.; Katus, p.; Browning, c.;
Dupuy, c.f.; Carlson, r.f.; Camp and
Hanley, subs.
Manager Browning says Kingman
sure has one sweet pitcher. He fam
ned Fred three times. Katus for
Flag did fine work. AS the weather
warns and he has more chance to
work out, he'll improve. Frank Han
ley came over from Oatman to sub
stitute for Clarence in case the lat
ter's wing went on a strike.
Prescott will play here Sunday, in
the afternoon. That team has been
playing fine brand of ball this sea-
son. They recently beat Williams 3-2
and seem to have had the goods on
about every team they went up
against except Clarkdale. The smelt-
critics soaked them plenty.
Williams will play here on Decor
alton day and Clarkdale on June 1.
We are due for a good season, with
lots of excitement. Support the home
team by coming out to the games.

ICY BLASTS HAVE SUCCEEDED
WARM SPRING WEATHER

Last Friday and Saturday were
ideal spring days indeed The
thermometer climbed and in the
Hills plum trees just fairly burst
into blossom. Every one hoped
that the late and cold spring had
at last disappeared and been re-
placed with real warm balmy spring
weather, the kind that brings the
lettuce and radishes out. But alas!
Old man winter was not to be re-
placed so easily. He came back
with a vengeance Monday and Tues
day even sent every one scurrying
for the clothes closet. Winter
garments reappeared. The coal hod
was filled and the heater rekindled.
The dravman was rushing hither
and thither with dabs of black
diamonds gathered from the smil-
ing coal man to keep the family
warm. Wednesday and to day
(Thursdav) chilling breezes are
waftinp down from the northland.
Yet everv one homes and waits for

LONG MISSING DOCTOR
IS FOUND DROWNED
DIR. Fyle found dead at wheel, ,dr0w-
ned with crushed skull in ten
feet water near YanktOn

"A state and national search has
been conducted ever since Decem-
ber IL of last year to find DR.. Fylc
of Geddes, who mysteriously dis
appeared from sight that day.
His body was found last Saturday
sitting upright behind the wheel
of the coup he drove submerged
by ten feet of water in Rhine Greek
about five miles Northeast of the
city Of Yankton. Two sons of Joe
Cap accidentally spied the outlines
of the car in the water as they fish
ed along the banks. on Thursday of
last week. The following day the
father of the lads and his brother
went down to the spot chopped a
hole through the top of the car
and made the grewsome discovery
which made them claimants to the
100000 reward offered iorsthe fin
ding of the much sought man.
The body was brought to Yank-
ton last Saturday and shipped to
Geddes where the funeral was held
last wednesday.
The disappearance of the doctor
was a deep puzzle indeed. Every
available means to find him were
used after he failed to reach home
from Sioux City that fatal day
Newspapers, police organizations
and every known agency leading
to the discovery of the doctor were
used. Everv public place was pla-
carded and our readers will remem-
ber the onethat has been hanging
in the lobby of the local postoffice
Reports traced the missing man
from Kansas. through Oklahoma
thence THROUGH Texas to California
where a Geddes couple claimed tc
have seen him across the street
from them. Each time the man
wanted was not the one in Cues
tion as facts now prove. One theo-
w had it that the doctor was trv-
ino. to evade discovery had lost his
mind or something like that.
But the relatives Of the man. his
friends and tho neOplc of Ceddee W
general never p'ave up hone of fin
ding evidence of the missing mane
fate. ONLY week aoo thnv Stared
another grand effort to find trace
Of him. when $50 automobiles scar

and was heavily barricaded. The

CHURCH NOTES MAY, nth.

Mothers Day will be observed in
the morning at the usual time OF
the morning worship-11 o'clock:
There will be a varied program OF
talks relative to mothers. and
a appropriate music. At eight o'clock
in the evening the pastor has been
requested to preach the baccal-
aureate sermon to the graduating
class of the High School. 1t is
hoped there will be large aud
ience in the evening to show IN
terest in these who are to begin
their life work. There is power
in sympathy shown the young who
are starting out in life, and many
such succeed because they know
that many are watching them and
thus become ashamed to fail. The
attendance at this baccalaureate
service is the quiet reminder OF
the interest and sympathy in the
graduating class. Not only at this
service, but for the remainder OF
their lives we should do what we
can to aid and assist them in their
lawful undertakings.
