Wauneta Saturday
BIGGEST EVENT OF KIND
Ever Pulled Off in this Section of
Nebraska Crowd Estimated
at from 40 Oo to 5000
Unquestionably the biggest picnic
event over pulled oiF in this section of
Nebraska was the railroad employes
picnic of last Saturday at Wauneta
The crowd in attendance is variously
estimated at from 4000 to oOOO Of
this number McCook furnished at icast
2500
If thero is any criticism coining to
the event it may bo indicated under
two heads Firstly the crowd was toi
large Secondly i lie lack of suflicierl
shade Both of ttese the railroad boys
had no control over and consequently
there is no kick coming
But it was a great big warm tired
good natured crowd and everybody
made the best of a situation whifli out
grew expectations oy m jsaiui ikuuis
The crowd lack ot time etc made it
impracticable to carry out much of the
entertainment stunts hence some of the
events will occur in the city park next
Tuesday evening after supper
We are able to give only a few of the
results in the sports
John Mil er w n the gold nied il and
II E Julbertson the slver in the shot
put
Miss Clifford received the gold medal
in the womens base ball throwing con
test Mrs W A Cassell the silver
Master Stephens was first and Master
Jeffries second in the boys costume

Mrs E C Briggs the silver medal in
the womens nail driving contest
The gold medal went to Cloyd Wood
in the tub race
Bartley won the basket ball conesi
from McCook 15 to 12 fashion
The fat mans race went to E S
Howell and the pair of shoes from Dre
berts
The other events will be matched next
Tuesday evening
Wauneta people treated the big crowd
as Well as they could in so small a burg
The railroad boys worked like Tro
jans and The Tribune realized their
haniicap

KILLED IN McCOOK YARD
John D Kernohan of Homestead
Penna is Run Over by an En
gine Last Thursday Night June
16th and Instantly Killed His
Body Being Terribly Mangled and
Cut Up
Death in a tragic and terrible form
came to John D Kernohan of Home
stead Penna last Thursday evening
in the McCook railroad yard
The exact facts may never he pre
cisely known but it seems to he ac
cepted that he had gotten onto pas
senger train No 6 with the attention
of going to Holdrege as was indicated
by some letters found on his person
As is the case Avith all passenger
trains coming into this station there
is always some shunting done in this
yard It is supposed that while the
train was being made up here Kern
ohan got off of the train on the side
away from the depot the dark side of
the track and that the engine from
No 6 which is changed at this
point in backing up toward the roun
house run over him causing instant
death his body being terribly cut up
and mutilated both tank and engine
passing over him
The remains were buried in Long
view cemetery Friday evening by
the county authorities the condition
of the body demanding prompt burial
Monday morning however James
Kernohan a brother of the deceased
arrived form Homestead Penna and
arrangements were made for the ex
huming of the body and its shipment
back to Homestead for interment
Shipment was made on Tuesday
The young man who met this tragic
death had been traveling around for
the past two years Was at Salt Lake
City recently and more recently at
Denver He was presumably headed
for home He worked the day of his
death on the Morris building but
was practically without means for any
journey

SPEARING THE CACTUS
Customs of tho Natives of the Mexi
can State of Sinaloa
Sinaloa Is a long state comparable
almost with Chile as It lies along the
west coast of Mexico Just as Chile
lies along the Pacllie shore of South
America
Like most new countries the most
interesting part of this fertile state is
its inhabitants possibly because the
country Is so fertile Game Is abun
dant and easily caught and the fruit of
the great plthaya cactus Is ripe almost
from season to season Every native
whether mounted or afoot and most
natives ride carries a slender stick
ten feet long sharpened at one end
and the point hardened with fire
One supposes these sticks to be rath
er primitive lances until one sees the
Indian spear a cactus fruit from a
branch seven or eight feet above his
head These pithayas contain many
seeds and a little blood red pulp all
of which except the spines is food for
the Indian
AH day long these Indian men wan
der through the jungle a wall of green
broken only here and there by the old
trails of half wild cattle gathering the
cactus fruit It would seem that some
would be dried or at least taken to the
brush jacal which represents home to
the Indian But no he sits down and
eats what he gathers immediately If
his wife wants any of the fruit she
goes and gets it herself She also
gathers the food for the babies For

IT DIDNT CURE HIM
Why Orc Man Has a Distinct Dislike
For Buttermilk
When I was a youngster said a
state official the other day I was
poisoned by an ivy vine My nose got
very red and swelled up twice its
natural size The lufectioi spread to
my cheeks and they were all covered
with blotches
I was told to use buttermilk I
bought a gallon and drank it I bought
another gallon the next day and got
outside of that In fact I drank so
much buttermilk that the price went
up about 15 cents a gallon in that
community within a very few days
But the poisoning was not getting any
better It was not improving one bit
and I couldnt understand it
I told the people who had recom
mended the buttermilk that it was not
helping me Why I bet I have swal
lowed a barrel of buttermilk within
the past week I told them
You drank itV they shouted back
at me
Of course 1 replied What did you
expect me to do with it
Why we meant for you to bathe
your face with buttermilk not drink
it was the answer
I pretty nearly collapsed To tlii
day I cant look buttermilk in the
face Kansas City Journal
Paraguay Lace
Making lace by hand is a well de
veloped art in Paraguay It was taught
the natives 200 years ago by tho mis
sionaries and has been transmitted
from generation to generation till it is
now quite general throughout the re
public Some towns are devoted to
making a certain kind of lace In one
town of S000 or 0000 inhabitants al
most all the women and children and
many of the men make lace collarets
handkerchiefs and ladies ties An
other town makes lace embroidery and
others drawn thread work such as
centerpicees tray mats teaeloths and
doilies The designs used in making
the lace are taken from the curious
webs of the semitropical spiders that
are so numerous there On this ac
count it is called nanduti an Indian
name which means spider web
