Lodge Members and City

Band Visited Mr. and Mrs.

Joseph A. Ivey at Home

1 Yesterday evening the members of

Venus Chapter of the Eastern Star.

acting in compliance with a clevery

conceived plan thought out by Worthy

' Matron Lily Hughart, very prettily iu

I troduced themselves at a surprise house

warming in behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Jos.

A. Ivey at their cozy" new home at

the corner of 1st and Fremont.

The Stars, having assembled at the

, residence of Dr. Hughart, loaded an

autemobile with good things to eat,

j formed a line of march at S o'clock and

and prcceeded directly on their mission

of good cheer. Nor was a halt made

1 until the revellers found themselves at

i their destination, face to face with a

most complet-ly surprised and delight

' ed hostess, biddinc each one in turn a

I most sweet welcome.

The good host, not having been ap-

prised that things were to be doing at

' his home that night, had gone to the

office to attend to matters of business.

Requisition was promptfv made for

him, however, and he was soon at the

side of the hostess, ruijfutfng smiles and

fdlovrship.

Saictal coin 'iyalijn and v;

then occupied the attention of all. un

til the band boys appeared suddenly

fn-m somewhere, and struck up a live

ly air. The bovs responded again and

again to the appreciative applause of

the listeners Joseph A , who is well

known in Tombstone musical circles,

picked up the tuba and demonstrated

that while his specialty is in laying the

foundation for a new home, yet he was

entirely capable of establishing the

foundation of a good band.

At a late hour dainty refreshments

were served One guest, always in a

most happy framt of mind, declared

eating to be the most popular indoor

sport. His remark found much favir

with every Star present.

During the course of the evening's

pleasures, Mrs. Ivey was presented

with a table cover of Battenberg work,

of most beautiful design and workman

ship, the gift being bestowed by Mrs

Lee O. Woolery.

Mrs. Ivey responded most graciously

and expressed again her sincere appre

ciation of the thoughtfulness of all her

many kind friends.

At a late hour some parting word

was said to each gurst by the genial

host and most kind hostess, and each

and evory one expressed the hope that

such pleasures might be repeated often.

Tl

THE DRYJEASON

Quail season opened yesterday and

many bags were reported last night.

Quail are more plentiful than for years,

owing no doubt to the dry season this

year and also to a more perfect adher

ence to the game laws which the game

wardens are mating an honest endeav

or to enforce. Deer are more plentiful

than for years, and it is known that on

the deer very close watch bas been

kept and this proves that game will in

crease rapidly if given a chance.

SURPRISE NEW

STRIKE SITUATION

STILL HANGING

FIRE, CONFER-

ENCHN

Believed Will Not be Settled

If Strikers Stand Pat on

Points at Issue

PHOENIX. Oct. 15. Interest in the

Clifton mine strike shifted to El I'aso

today with the arrival there this after

noon of the committee of five from the

strikers to confer with the three mine

managers.

The committee left Clifton early this

morning and reached El Paso shortly

after 3 o'clock this afternoon. It is

expected that the conference will be

opened late this evening. -

Adjt. Gen. C. W. Harris left Phoenix

this morning to act as Governor Hunt's

representative at the conference. E.

W. Lewis, attorney for the Shannon

Copper Company, left last night for

the meeting.

Persons, close in touch with the situ

ation have little belief that the confer

ence will bring peace if the strikers

stand pat on the following four points"

Advance in wages; a minimum wage;

tbe right to continue the union affiliat

ed with the Western Federation of

Miners, though not demanding recog

nition, anil assurrance that no one will

be discharged becane of aitivny in

the strike.

J I'm manager;. Ht !-, vi" altiost

certainly ncver-ie' t io the third put

and it is doubtful if lky will agree to

the fourth.

Sheriff J. G. Cash of Greenlee county

remained in Clifton. It was thought

he would accompany the committee.

Word from the strike zone today says

it is extremely quiet there.

Acting Adjt. Gen. O. F. Temple said

today that several of the troopers at

Clifton who are students at tbe Tucson

universit) will probably be allowed to

leave the camp so they can resume

their school duties, but that the rest of

the troops would remain on duty until

such a time as it is deemed advisable

to send them home. The soldier boys

write that they are getting tired of

having nothing ta do. One says his

chief occupation is "keeping his ears

clean."

John S. Myers, special representative

of Secretary of Labor W. B. Wilson,

who was sent here to investigate the

strike, stated today that be is waiting

here to see what will be the result of

the El Paso conference

Charles H. Mover, of Denver, presi

dent of the Western Federation of

Miners, is the only Federation official

in Phoenix now. The others have

gone to various mining camps.

CARE TO WINTER

PASTURES

The Boqulllas Land and Cattle Com

pany yesterday and today shipped from

the Benson stock pens in the neighbor

hood of forty carloads of cattle to the

company's-pastures at Bakersfield, Cal

ifornia pastures for winter feed. The

round-up has been in progress for seme

time now, working down tbe river, and

almost everything is being picked up

and shipped, owing to the extreme dry

ness and lack of feed for tbe cattle the

coming winter. This is not the last

shipment to be made according to re

poit received here today.

A
