Open Day and Night 107 Box Butte Ave. Next Alliance Annex FEATHERWEIGHT BOXER TRAININGJN ALLIANCE Kid Felso, a featherweight boxer whowho accumulated quite a reputa tion in the army with his aballty to handle the gloves, has opened train ing quarters in Alliance, and an nounces that he Is ready and willing to meet all comers in his class. Felso has in his possession a championship medal for the southern department of the army, which signifies that he got the better of all contenders for that title and there were quite a bunch of them. James Hammond, at the Western Hotel In this city, is Felso's trainer and manager, and Is ready to receive propositions from those who are in terested In getting up bouts. Felso's ring experience is not con fined to the army. He has met such men as Tommy Burns and Johnny Kllbane. He fought with the latter on two different occasions, losing the decision by points In a four-round bout. He Is confident, however, that In a longer match, where endurance has a chance to count, that he could secure KUbane's number, and has re peatedly asked for a fifteen-round bout. Kllbane much prefers the shorter time limit, however, and he has had no opportunity to meet him (n any other kind of an engagement. Felso has announced that he will be available at any time that local organizations need added attractions for benefit performances or anything else of that nature. He has ap peared a number of times In connec tion with that kind of programs, and is perfectly willing to help out. He expects to make bis training quar ters in Alliance for Bome time to come.

The con vention Btarts tonight and will last Wednesday and Thursday, closing Thursday night. There are quite a number of firemen in town this morning from towns east and north, who will accompany the Alliance firemen this afternoon to Scottsbluff. A special train from eastern Ne braska will arrive in Scottsbluff this noon over the Union Pacific. They expect about six hundred firemen. The program over there includes the usual business sessions and the en tertainment will include automobile sight seeing, drives, visits to sugar factories and other chances to see western Nebraska. This is expected to be the largest firemen's conven tion ever held in the state of Ne braska. v The Scottsbluff department, as sisted by the Chamber of Commerce has made elaborate arrangements for entertainment for the delegates. The larger share of the delegates ex pect to visit Alliance on their way home on Friday, stopping over in the city or a few hours. They all re member Alliance favorably because of the fact that the convention field here years ago was one of the best ever held and because of the fact that representatives of the Alliance departments have always taken a prominent part in the affairs of the state association. Among those who will attend from Alliance are Dr. George J. Hand, president of the local department; John W. Guthrie, past president of the state association; E. G. Laing, who has been a constant attendant at state conventions for many years; G. I Hill, the Alliance live wire, and Lloyd C. Thomas,, publicity chairman for the state association. In addition to the above there will be a delegate from each company and the fire department chief, Ward Hall. The state association will miss this year one of the most prominent members, who first came from Alli ance and who afterwards became the state fire commissioner W. S. Ridg ell, who died at Lincoln last fall. Mr. Rldgell was also a past pres ident of the association and enjoyed a wide acquaintance among the fire men over the state.
