FOURTH OF JULY
A truly wonderful Fourth, was
the unaminous verdict of every
one at the close of the day
The weather, which had been
unpleasant for several days be
fore, changed to our usual beaut
if ul sunshine, and the rain
which had fallen made every
thing yreen and also cooled the
air, so that not even one mos
quito was in evidence to spoil
the day.
Taking advantage of the effic
ient speeder service which was
run by the railroad department
all aay, crowds began to arrive
m the morning, and by the time
tiie athletic events were pulled
of, large numbers were waiting
to witness them, The program
went through without a hitch in
the capable hands of Harry Kav
anaugh and Jack Conway as
starters.
The hundred yard dash was
won by Klottsmeyer over ten
entries The same lad won the
running bioad jump against
strong competition
The old mans race in which
Hubriek, Underwood and Gwinn
made a sensational run resulted
jn a wi i for Cai> by an eye lash
T ie girls race was won by tne
Woodin sisters m first and sec
ond places.
The childrens races were run I
to the satisfaction of all, most,
ol the small folk winning a prize. J
The packing contest was won
by Mike Knowles and Con Mil
ler. The tug of war for a
prize of $70.00 caused much in
terest and resulted in a win for
the local heavy weights.
The A. B. dance in the even
ing was another highly success
ful event. Floor was in fine con
dition and the orchestra from
Kennecott provided wonderful1
music, The members of the or
chestra were H. Singer, violin, j
Mrs. Wilson, violin, Mr. Stoklo, j
clarinet, Rex Seymour, drums’j
Miss Schultz, piano.

ience of 500 spectators the base

best of it on account of such per
feet support, but nevertheless
it was anybody’s game until the
last man was out in the ninth
inning.
Shepard struck oot ten men,
hit two by pitched ball, walked
four and was hit for ten safe
hits.
Sommer struck out six men,
walked two and was hit for
