TneMlay, October 26th: The barbecue given Tuesday after noon was pronounced by all to be the biggest event of Its kind ever held in Alliance. The monster steer which was donated by Charlie Tully for the occasion was the finest of the land. Harry Mollrlng, manager for the day. started to work Monday afternoon preparing the feast. He was assist ed by the Alliance Cafe chef, a bronz ed barbecue expert, from Texas, 4nd a corps of assistants. The roast was placed over the coals at 1 o'clock Monday nlpht and by 2 o'clock Tues day afternoon it was In fine shape. A guard was necessary during the long hours of the night and early morn ing to keep away the hungry news papermen and other unfortunates who were attracted by the savory od ors of the roasting beef. At 2 o'clock, the huge Keeler Coursey garage building was packed full of eager, expectant people. Man ager Harry and assistants, who in cluded George Darling. Frank Ab beg, Dr. V. J. Mahaffy, Lloyd Thom as, and others, cut and buttered hun dreds and hundreds of sandwiches. Ladies were allowed to line up first, and from 1 o'clock until after 6. with scarcely a minute of rest, the big feast was on. Delicious Diamond A butter, fresh from the Alliance Creamery, made the sandwiches still better. At 5 o'clock the Burlington shop men came in a body and were all served. It was estimated that 1,500 people were served during the afternoon.

A. Rlckart, Correspondent) Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct. 25 Killing cattle sold strong to 25 higher last week, most ealn on choice beef steers, storkers and feeders ranged from steady to 15 higher, cows and bulls steady to 20 lower. Heavy shipments arrived today, 4 5, 000 cattle on the early estimate, and the official count will be close to that number, th In aviest run ever receiv ed here for a single day's market. A large percentage of the supply Is stockers and feeders, and these kinds are selling weak to 15 lower, al though there Is a big outlet for year lings and twos, and for good feeders. The small percentage' of killing grades resulted in steady prices for the best, 10 to 15 lower on some of the steers, cows steady to 10 lower. No kirictly prime cattle are included, and steers of first quality are quota ble up to $10.30, medium to good fed steers 8.40 to' $9.50. Best Kan sas grass steers bring $8.75, although the Kansas offerings are gradually getting into the fed column, and will be quoted as such exclusively within a short time. A fair number of mid dle weight Kansas steers at $7 to $7.75. Quarantine receipts are 15 cars, steers at $6 to $6.75. Every possible grade of stock cattle is here, and the demand comes from every quarter, hence is equally as diversi fied. Kansas and Missouri are the big buyers, Oklahoma taking a heavy number, Illinois and Iowa In sections where they have corn, buying more heavily than- heretofore.

The hog market shows re turning strength, s:les 5 to 10 high er today, the order buying features of the market being operative, hogs for shipment selling at $7.30 to $7.50. Packers did not exhibit any enthusiasm, though paying slightly stronger prices, largely $7.10 to $7. 30. Receipts are 7000. Future prices will depend on volume of the supply, as packers will not be able to hold prices down without the support of continued liberal runs, although tem porarily successful in their raid last week. Sheep and lambs closed last week slightly lower, largely due to luck of quality in the offerings. To d:iy the supply is 8200, and prices are 10 to 15 higher, top lambs $8.75.

ALLIANCE HIGH BEAT CHADRON Took the Opening l'ool;ill (iunie of the Sen son nt the Fair (round Lnot Friday Afternoon New Telephone Line A Construction work was started this week on the new telephone line which runs from Alliance to Antloch, connecting with most of the ranches between. The company is known as the Autiocb Telephone company, and has been organized for some time. The Alliance exchange will do the switching, the new line being con nected here. Many new subscribers are pledged a little later, and the line is being built for permanency. There will be fourteen subscribers at the present time. St OKI ; THIRTEEN TO SEVEN The Chadron football team was defeated by Alliance Friday after noon at the fairgrounds by a score of 13 to 7, the game being literally won by two good forward passes. Chadron played a series of line bucks throughout the game, and gen erally gained about three to five yards each time. The Alliance ends were almost invinclblo, and Chad rou'i end runs failed most of the time before they got started. Chad ron crossed the Alliance goal on a fake pass during the first five min utes of the first period. They kick ed goal, but could not pull off the same stunt during the remainder of the game. The Chadron team outweighed the local boys several pounds to tho man, and It looked before the game started that Alliance would be de feated by the almost overwhelming weight of their adversaries. Also the visitors were most all old pluyers while this was the first game for Al liance. The spectators went "up in the air" when the Allliance boys held their heavy opponents down through out the game, and during the latter part of the game they held Chadron for downs on the three-yard line and stopped their scoring on the straight line plunges, when the score would have been tied by a touchdown. The Allliance line proved equal to the task and held fast. The boys have been practicing ev ery evening for tomorrow's game with Sidney, and this promises to be even a better game than last Fri day's. The local fans turned out in goodly numbers at 'he last game and Judging from the enthusiasm now shown, Friday's attendance will be as good or better.- Held Successful Hale A. W. Tyler came over from Lake side Wednesday In his Huirk car to look after lmti.iw iiiutte;.i uml vis it with friends. Mr. Tyler held a big sale of llolsten cattle at his place near lakeside Saturday, and It was one of the best attended that has ever been held In this part of the country. Everything that wus of fered brought a good price. Mr. Tyler receutly took the sub agency for the Uulck machine at Lakeside, and reports the business us starting out well. He Is a Bulck enthusiast, and, like many others, thinks the Bulck la about the best machine made. The Lakeside terri tory Is under the supervision of F. R. Harutranft, of Crawford.
