CLUB MUSICIANS
ATTEND PARTY
IN Aqua PRIETA

! Marking the first gathering of a
majority of the musicians OF the
various Aqua Prieta clubs and cafes
stag party was staged at the White
Horse club following the closing OF
the club to its regular patrons Friday
morning. The party started at 1870
There were present some 1C members
Of the various orcheStras Of the dis
trict.
The party had been arranged for
by the leading spirits among the
musicians for the purpose of holding
festive assembly OF ali the mu-
Sicians. The only hour appropriate
for such a meeting and at which the
musicians could attend would be after
the resorts close and SO it was
arranged
The party was success in every
way. A kangaroo court was organized
and someone possessing ability with
words had written charges against
a number Of the, musicians. Both
the judge and the clerk Of the court
insisted that all OF these charges
were very serious and many man
was fined for contempt, and laughter
persisted throughout the proceedings
Jack Blevins was toas;nla1. .er. The
small tables i'll the big dining room
were placed together to MAKE onG
long table and the banquet was
spread upon it. Ralph Hoffman was
elected chief entertainer and did an
eccentric dance which was much
appreciated.
Following the dinner and the trial
of the various culpritS on the nu-
merous serious charges the organiza-
ton picked from its NUMBERS eight
men noted for their skill on various
instruments. These men assembled
on the orchestra platform and rend-
cred some half dozen popular num-
bers. To say that their playing was
coed hardly explains it. They were
playing to an audience OF critics.
There was no one to interrupt them
Rojerio d. LOreto, prominent in
Aqua Prieta political and police
circles, was a guest OF honor at the
affair. Following the banquet the
assembled musicians placed upon the
minutes of the, meeting an expression
of sincere appreciation to Joseph
EdVGlkd, pIOpI1tCOI III U1lS W1ACC
Horse club for his kindness in per-
mitting them the use OF the ball
room for their festivity.
Those present were, Joe Green, floor
manager of the White Horse; Vic
Spaulding, Harvey Osterle and George
Harvey, of the White Horse orches-
ira, and Lewis Germany, Butch
Butcher and Don Woods, OF the staff
of the club. The Gem club was rep
resented py Stanley Hoffman, Doc
Watson, Jimmie Hamilton and Rufus
Bennett, all OF Doc Watson's orches-
ira.
The international club was repre-
sented by Jock Goldstein, Earl Cur
rens, Ralph Hoffman and Jack
BlevinS, OF the GoldStein orchestra.

BAD CHECKS in
THEIR PAYMENT
FOR PURCHASES

Merchants and others of Douglas
should be hesitant about taking checks
for purchases or for cash, in the opln-
ion Of some who have recently been
given checks thai failed to connect
with funds at a bank. Two or three
instances happened during the last few
days that emphasize this fact quite
strongly and fortunately for the mer-
chants getting the checks, only small
purchases were involved. The Mat
theWs grocery company sold a small
order of groceries to young, well
dressed man giving the name OF r
o. Leonard and he wrote a check fol
two dollars. He seemed straight-for-
ward throughout the deal and gave
his address as 935 Tenth street. But
the check got no cash land when the
check was returned noted no funds,
visit to the address given by the mar
resulted in finding no trace there Of
such a person.
At the Douglas Drug company, one
person came in and bought some goods
and when the purchases had beer
completed, covered the small total BY
issuing check on local bank ane
signing the name OF "A. u. moore. AL
other similar case with different
man as the buyer resulted in checl
drawn with the name signed R. Q
Irwin Neither check brought cash anc
the bank upon which they were drawn
stated there never had been such al
account on their books.
It is not believed a reasonable view
that all three checks were errors Or
the part of the ones who draw then
as to the bank in which they claimed
to have funds and for that reason tht
merchants who got the checks ant
experience but no money for thei
goods believe that the tactics of peopl
buying goods with that sort of pape
ought to be known to others to preven
further losses through such checks
