M 1b Interest at the years go by. The
annual fair for this year was held
last week, four days, Tuesday to
Friday. The weather waa tine and
the attendance good. Thursday was
record-breaker, the attendance be
ing the largest In the history of the
latf.
The race program was exception
ally Interesting. The attractions
vtside of the regular fair features
vsrere entertaining and a credit to
the town and the people who put
Mm on. The exhibits In the agrl
eAlural hall were very good but not
m numerous as they should hare
t been. The eduoatlonal and domestic
departments were not as fully repre
sented as one would expect. The
garden and farm products were sim
ply fine, but not half as many as
night bar been shown In that coun

that greater Interest may be stlr-

Cook-Can twell Nnpti&l Celebrated
at First M. E. Church, Alli
ance, Monday Morning
WHERE IS PANCnO VILLA?
In the First Methodist Episcopal
church of Alliance, at 10 a. m., on
Monday, September 7, 1914, occur
red the wedding of two of western
Nebraska's best known and highly
respected young people. Miss Mary
Louise Cook of Lakeside and Mr.
Lynn Radley Cantwell of Alliance.
The pastor, Rev. OUn S. Baker, per
formed the marriage ceremony in
the presence of a small company that
had assembled, altho the wedding
had not been previously announced.
The bride, a beautiful and accom
plished young lady, is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Cook. Since
her graduation from the Alliance
High school she has engaged very
successfully In teaching. The groom,
a son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cant
well whose ranch is southwest of
Alliance, is also a graduate of the
Alliance High Bchool. He is now a
student at the Kansas City Veterin
ary College.
The following named persons were
present at the wedding: Clarence
Cook and Mrs. Leo Berry, brother
and slBter of the bride, who acted as
best man and bridesmaid; Mr. and
Mrs. R. A. Cook, parents of the
bride; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cantwell,
parents of the groom; Mr. and Mrs.
R. R. Reddish, Mrs. Geo. Gaddis,
Mrs. Jas. Feagins, Mrs. Chase Fea
gins, Mrs. L. A. Berry, Mrs. O. S.
Baker, Tom Tully, Lloyd Johnson,
W. O. Barnes, A. T. Lunn, Leo Ber
ry, J. W. Thomas. Mrs. Chase Fea
gins presided at the piano and play
ed Mendelssohn's wedding march as
the bridal party came down the aisle
to the chancel.
Mr. and Mrs. Cantwell left on
Burlington No. 44, following the
wedding, for Kansas City, where
they will make their home until he
completes his course at the K. C.
Veterinary College. Their many
friends in western Nebraska hope
that they will then locate In this
part of the west.
Of all the stories told of Pancho
Villa and his motor car corps in the
recent Mexican campaign, the tale
told and verified before a group of
motor truck and tire men in Hous
ton, Texas, recently, is a winner in
its class.
"Some time ago when Villa's men
were making an advance near El
Toro, one of the motor trucks In
the main force ran out of gasoline.
A service truck loaded with gaso
line, oil, extra tires and a complete
repair outfit was ordered up from
the rear and refilled the gas tank.
The march was continued . and the
service wagon then waited for the
rear guard to come up. While the
truck was thus resting in the road
between the main body and the rear
guard, the Federals, under Colonel
Coo-Coo, made an attack on the
service car from the left flank. All
the service squad had in the way of
weapons was a sack of Bull Durham,
a spy glass and a shot gun.
Nothing daunted. Corporal Pedro
ordered the spare Firestone tires
with their steel rims, which the ser
vice wagon carried, unloaded from
the truck and placed as a barricade.
Behind this rubber and steel bul
wark, Villa's men felt safe.
As the Federals fired, the bullets
rebounded and killed Colonel Coo
Coo's men In great numbers," the
gallant Coo-Coo himself being among
the five killed or wounded. Thus,
weakened, the Federals were forced
to retreat. When . the rear guard
came up they found the service wag
on, crew enjoying a quiet game ' of
Monte within the confines of the
rubber rampart."
In view of the effect ' this story
may have had upon Villa, it la sug
gested that war correspondents look
behind every pile of Firestone tires
they come across, considering the
possibility of finding Pancho . there
ensconced enjoying a quiet game ia
safety.
' After some men start they are toe
lazy to stop.
