OLD SETTLERS
HELD THEIR SIXTH ANNUAL
REUNION AT SPARKS
And Everybody JBujsved Himself lm
mensely The Program was Ex
cellent the Sports Good and
Everything First Class
The Sixth Annual Reunion of the
Old Settlers of Cherry and Keya Paha
Counties was held at Sparks last Fri
day and Saturday the 18th and 19th
That is it was supposed to have been
held on those two days but about the
only old settlers outside of those near
Sparks who reuned on Friday were J
C Pettijohn Amos Strong and the ed
itor of this popular weekly But it
wasnt the fault of the people or the
management that there was not more
people present It rained almost all
day Friday a cold penetrating rain
that forbade travel Hence the editors
caretully prepared speech remains to
this day undelivered and the people
of Sparks are to be congratulated
The storm clouds cleared away Fri
day night and Saturday morning was
clear and bright though somewhat
cool and early the crowds began to
come and they kept on coming until
several hundred people were present
The program commenced with a
short talk by Robert Good after the
audience had sang America and he
was followed by D H Thurston who
was in turn succeeded by F M
cott A hot game of football was
played by Norden and Sparks while
the speaking was going on which
resulted in a score of 1 to 0 in favor of
Norden No bones were broken or
lives lost but the editor and one or
two others left the field considerably
the worse for wear
After dinner a game of base ball
was played by Norden and Fort Nio
brara the latter team winning Mr J
A Carroll was to speak on the Causes
of the Present Financial Disturbance
and this speeeh occasioned the
only thing which happened to mar
the success of the reunion Mr1 Car
roll was invited to speak and was giv
en the privilege of choosing his own
subject which he announced a couple
of weeks ago Under these conditions
he took the platform Saturday after
noon but before he had talked ten
minutes he was requested to stop on
the ground that he was making a po
litical speech and politics were tarred
at the reunion Mr Carroll called the
attention of the gentleman who re
quested him to stop to the fact that
partisan literature was being circulated
on the grounds and that a representa
tive of a partisan paper was soliciting
We are informed that the reverend subscriptions for it on the strength of
gentleman contemplates making
ntine his headquarters

arrived in town Tuesday night with a

nished T C Hornby who had the con
tract by J A Hitt
JohnEnlows illness has taken a
serious turn and doubts are entertained
its politics When the question was
put to a vote the audience almost
unanimously requested Mr Carroll to
continue but he didnt The affair is
deeply deplored by men of all parties
and it is hard to say just who is to be
blamed for the insult to Mr Carroll
A bowery dance was given all after
noon and evening and was largely
patronized while a horse race in the
evening wound up the days sports
Taken all in all the reunion was a suc
cess and those who managed the affair
are to be congratulated upon having
everything run so smoothly
