Busy as Bees.
James Graham and his helpers are as
busy as a hive of bees this week moving
his grocery and meat market from the
second door west of the post ofilee to
the Ilumer building, formerly occupieU
by Lock wood's furniture store, on the
nortnwest corner 01 jjox nuue Ave.
and Montana St. While the moving
incurs a large amount of labor, he will
no doubt bo repaid by an increase in
business, as his new locution is an ideal
one and he is plunning to put in a
larger stock of goods.
Mr. Graham has shown his enter
prise and energy in building up a good
trade and this move is but another step
in the direction of enlarging it.
The Mark of a City.
One of the murks of a modern city is

Champions of
Western Nebraska
The high school basketball five of Al
liance won the undisputed title of cham
pions of western Nebraska by defeating
the fast Sidney team on its own floor last
Saturday night, Feb. 27. The score at
the close of the game was 32 to 27.
The game was the fastest and the fierc
est that has ever been played on the Sid
ney floor. The Sidney high school has
been a close contender with Alliance for
the pennant in the Western Nebraska
Basketball League, and this was their
opportunity to tie the percentages. At
the close of the first half of play the score
stood 15 to 14 in favor of Alliance. This
half was marked by the fiercest playing
with considerable fouling, the majority of
fouls being called on Alliance. The crowd
was on its feet all of this half, vainly
cheering their players on to victory. At
the beginning of the second half Sidney
led off with two baskets, placing her in the
lead. The small handful of Alliance
rooters began to show symptoms of ner
vous prostration. Instead of giving up,
however, the plucky fighters from Alliance
fought harder and by virtue of this again
gained the lead. From this time on Al
liance retained its advantage, and at the
close was the deserving victor of a hard
fought battle.
Alliance went into this game in a some
what crippled condition. Camille Nohe,
who has been playing a star forward for
the high school the entire season, was not
permitted by doctor's orders to enter the
game. Clare aiewmrter played in his
stead, and his work was gilt edged. Seven,
field goals are on the credit side of his ac
count. Capt. Phil Nohe did star work in
getting and passing the ball as well as in
throwing foul baskets. Six fouls apd a
field basket was his share of the scoring.
Shay, who has never been outjumped by
any opponent that he has met, played his
usual strong game. Ten of Alliance's
poipts are due to him. While the work of
the Alliance guards does not show in the
score, their strength is shown in the fact
tnai our opponeis score is less man our
own. Taylor did not allow his opponent
to make a point, while Cecil Smith, play
ing againstLobb of Sidney, who is the
fastest and' the cleanest plaer qn the Sid
ney team, held him to six baskets. Fif
teen of Sidney's points were made on
fouls. L. Wewhirter and Fred Carlson,
both competent players, accompanied the
team as substitutes
In a brief review of the basketball
season it will be a source of pride to the
patrons of the high school aod to the citi
zens of tlio town to know that of seven
games played with the strongest teams of
this section, the Alliance five has reaped a
total of 315 points against 91 by our
opponents. Ihis means that Alliance has,
on a whole, beaten its opponents by more
than three to one. Alliance has not met a
single defeat.
There remains one game to be played on
the Alliance floor. This gams will be
with Bridgeport, but the date has not been
determined. All who are interested in
the high school or in basketball should see
this last game of the seaion.
