The news man of the Scottsbluff
Republican had a bum steer or a
beautiful dream, it seems that
prompted the following:
Wm. Ostenberg, Jr., went to Alli
ance last night, where he attended
the opening of the new park, which
was dedicated with appropriate fes
tivities by the citizens of that place,
and numerous out-ottown guests.
The park has ben laid out and fitted
up In excellent shape at Broncho
Lake, which Is about two and a half
miles west of the city. This lake
years ago was fitted up with a num
ber of concessions, and at one time
was the Coney Island of Alliance.
After a couple of seasons it was
abandoned, and for the past thirty
years has been stndlng idle. This
spring, however, a number of enter
prising citizens took the matter in
hand, with the result that the fes
tivities have been revived there and
a first class park has been fitted up.

the town's business organisation."
He called No. 74, the Commun

Ilufus Jones, secretary, that the
agency In question was not a

"That being tnie," said the
would-be buyer to The Herald

either do without entirely or else
I'll buy (and ho
