CAT is
Quilted BY A
BLAST and FIRE

Following a terrific explosion late
last evening fire broke out in the
Black Cat cafe in Aqua Prieta and
completely Quilted the big structure.
Aqua Prieta officials requested fire
fighters from Douglas and according
to customary courtesy Fire Chief
Nemeck took q fire truck and some
men and aided in checking the blaze.
Constable Gordon Newman of the
Douglas precinct also assisted. Great
difficulty was experienced by the fire
men owing to the condition of the fire
hydrants which they were unable to
open. They were successful however in
checking the fire The Black Cat for
merly known as the Cinco de Mayo
was believed to be a total loss. No es-
innate of the damage could be obtain
ed and the cause of the explosion is
still mystery. So far as could be
learned everyone escaped from the
building.

INQUEST INTO
TRAGEDY GOES
STEADILY ON
Condition of Mrs. Cobb Re-
ported Much Improved AS
She Receivers From Shock

DIR. E. w. Adamson reported from
the Calumet hospital late last night
that Mrs. Mildred Cobb, one OF the
three survivors in the automobile
crash of Sunday, is in a very much
improved condition and has every
chance for recovery.
Judge Ollie Phillips justice Of the
peace for the Pirtleville precinct, in
which the accident costing the hVes
of Walter E. Cobb and his eight year
old son occurred, proceeded yesterday
with the official investigation OF the
affair. A coroners jury was I'M
paneled
Judge w. C. Jack Of Douglas, who
conducted the first investigation into
the accident and who interviewed
officers and the driver OF the other
car appeared before this jury as a
witness and testified as to his find
ings. The gist of his statements was
to the effect that his observations
indicated Cat the Blackhurst car had
been on It's proper side OF the road
and that Cobb had probably been
blinded by moisture on the wind
shield of his car and had misjudged
the distance between the two cars.
F'uther indications OF the terrible
impact of the collision was brought
out with Judge Jacks testimony and
that OF D. S. Blackhurst, the driver
of the larger car, both OF whom
stated that the smaller car, III WNich
the Cobb family were riding had
been hurled onto the radiator and
hood of the larger car and from there
had been catapulted into the ditch
This statement accounts for the fact
that both cars were reversed when
they alighted from the positions and
directions in which they had been
travelling.
The coroner's jury will examine
other witnesses today including ply
sicians at the Calumet hospital whom
are expected to testify as to the con-
dition of Blackhurst at the time he
was examined there Immediately
after the tragedy.
Funeral services for Walter Cobb
and the little boy are pending COM
pletion of the inquest proceedings.

MOVIE WRITER,
DIES SUDDENLY

NEW YORK, July 26, P)-June
Mathis, motion picture scenario writer
died as result of a heart attack while
sitting with her mother in the orches-
ira of a theatre tonight.
A few minutes before the final cur
tain Miss Mathis suddenly screamed,
Mother, I'm dying! I'm dyingP
Many persons rose in the tense, al
most panic stricken audience.
Two trained 11ursese and physician
who were witnessing the play, hurried
to Miss Mathis and carried her outside
to a courtyard. There the physician
pronounced her dead.
Miss Mathis was 30 years old.
Her parents were theatrical people
and she was brought up in the atmos-
phere of the stage. For several years
she played in legitimate productions,
among them being "Brewster's Mill

For the past several years she de-
voted her entire time to scenario writ
ing and in this work gained wide

wrote were "The Four Horsemen, -

Lena Wilson. graduate of the north
woods, celebrated her 18th birthday
today by marrying James Stillman,
Jr., Princeton '27.
The marriage, solemnized on the
lawn of the beautiful Stillman lodge
in the wooded Canadian hills along
the st. Maurice river, proceeded with
out incident although a feature not
on the program was contributed after
the ceremony, by Mrs. James A
Stillman, mother of the bridegroom,
who threw crockery at some motion
picture and news cameramen while
the guests were assembling for re-
freshments.
On the wide sward, with its set.
ting of pines, in which the Stillman
summer camp is situated, a temp
orary altar had been erected and by
b. m. the hour of the ceremony,
the country people for miles around,
bush workers, villagers and colonists
from the outlying farms, were
rlningling M the hundreds of guests
whose formal attire presented a
striking contrast to the home spuns
Of the northern settlers.
NeWspapermen, banned yesterday
from the camp, were permitted to be
present.
The throng gathered on the lawn
and first appeared Father Ephrian
Lamy, accompanied by Fathers Nor
mand and Desilets. Then came the
bride, sweetly attractive in her I'M
maculate wedding gown, then the
bridegroom and relatives of the two
parties.

British and Japanese delegates in
Geneva have stuck to their resks
from day to day, and it is understood
the American secretary of state, Frank
B. Kellogg, has refrained from taking
his usual vacation away from Wash

From Japanese headquarters today
came the reiterated assertion that
Japan sincerely desires and expects
a treaty for limitation of auXiliaries
to result from the conference.
Presumably the Japanese will con-
tinue their efforts to bring about
reconciliation between any divergent
attitudes of American and British
delegations.
Sympathy was expressed by both
Americans and Japanese today for the
British Vice Admiral Sir Frederick
Field, when word was received that
he had been taken to the English
hospital suffering from gastric affec-
tions Admiral Field had taken an
active part in the negotiations and

The ire of the speaker was raised when
Lynch attempted to explain each
measure.
Administration forces and majority
members in the house defended and
criticised at length the merits of the
senate memorial calling upon Cover
nor Hunt to extend the scope of leg
islative operations.
Resolving itself into q committee of
the whole with Representative Sill
pher of Coconino county, presiding, the
house debated on the memorial for
an hour, finally passing it by vote
of 26 to 16. The house vote follows:

The senate vote on the memorial
follows:
FOR-Akers, Donnelly, Favour, Hill,
Jones, Kimball, Kinney, Lyons, Runke,
Sutter, Waters and Wylie. Against
Bettwny, Golfer, Joyner and Nelson.
A barrage of condemnation fell on
the administration during the discuss
ion of the memorial. Wisener of Yuma
bitterly denounced the gubernatorial
veto on house bill 127, the measure
providing for commission form of
highway administration, as well as
appropriating funds for maintenance
Of roads, construction of special pro-
jects and matching federal aid.

that Great Britain may now suggest

The Gazette also hears that one
reason for the return of Lord Cecil

they were unable to get explicit re-

So, the record from Sullivan's
day down to the end of Dempsey's
reign, shows that never was a
champion beaten by any Of the
logical contenders" or dangerous
candidates of that era; that each
champion was sent down to defeat
by a warrior who was utterly un.

the time his rulership began.
The history Of the game

that Of FitEsimmOns. Sullivan
