ness, secured the large pump used by

gasoline engine on the first floor of the
warehouse. By midnight practically
all of the water was pumped out- Mr.
Newberry estimated Bis loss from eight
hundred to a thousand dollars.
THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
Triumphant Celebration of the Na
lotion's Birthday in This City.
Uncle Sam's Military
Demonstration Together
with Thousands of Citizens and Visitors
Make a Great Day of it.
Monday, July the Fourth,
1910, will be a clay long to be
remembered in the history of
Alliance. Visitors began pour
ing in Saturday and every train
was loaded to the steps with
people bound for the metropolis
of western Nebraska. Alliance
ites are just beginning to realize
with others that we have p, real
little city. The thousands of
people who have been here this
time will have a warm spot in
their hearts for Alliance and
will not forget the warm wel
come and the happy time shown
them Monday.
The grand day started with a
salute of twenty-one guns at
sunrise. Everybody was down
early and the fun started at once.
First on the program was a
grand parade by the Eighth
Cavalry of the United States
Array, brought down from Fort
Robinson for the express pur
pose of helping in the festivities.
After the parade in which six
hundred cavalrymen took part,
a beautiful automobile parade
was given. The first prize was
won by the superb ship, deco
rated in beautiful colors b y
the "Woman's Club, on the
deck of which was several young
girls. The second prize was
won by a iiondola, which was
the car of Judge W. W. "Wood.
Third prize was won by C. A.
Newberry. About fiity cars
were in the parade and it was
indeed imposing. When all of
the cars were reviewed and the
large 'number which Alliance
boasts of seen, there was good
reason shown for the new auto
department of the Herald, which
is becoming very popular. Fol
lowing the auto parade there
was an immense parade of cow
boys and cowgirls. The wide
streets of Alliance were lined
with thousands of people.
Promptly at ten-thirty the
races started. First was a quar
ter mile cow pony race which
was won by young Philip. The
cowgirl's race was won by Miss
Underwood; the girl's cow pony
race by Miss Harvey; the men's
free for all foot race by H. I.
Halmer; the girl's foot race by
NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS
Florence Whaley; and the boy's
foot l'nce by Philip Grove.
The jam was heaviest at the
Fair grounds. The entertain
ment there was in the hands of
the Eighth Cavalry. Every
feature was clean and interest
ing. First was the Roman race.
This is run with one man stand
ing on two horses. First prize
was won by Sargent Lockwood
of troop K. Next was the
wrestling match, the contestants
being mounted on bareback
horses. Troop K's squad won
first prize. In the Cossack race
first prize was won by Foster of
the Mounted Gun Platoon. The
rescue race was very interesting
as it demonstrated the method
of rescuing wounded and un
mounted soldiers in actual war
fare. The Mounted Gun Platoon
won first prize. The relay race,
in which three horses were used
by one rider, was won by Troop
L. The four horse Roman race
was won by Troop L, Seargent
Seeds representing. The polo
game was won by the superb
horsemanship of the officers of
the Third Squadron. The moun
ted gun platoon contest, which
consisted of a hundred yard dash,
dismounting, setting and firing
gun, remounting and returning,
was decided a draw. The First
Squadron would have won but
for the antics of a balky pack
mule which cost them fifteen
seconds.
The officers and privates, to a
man, expressed great pleasure
at the generosity of the celebra
tion Committee and the large
amount donated for prizes. The
troops broke camp at five o'clock
Tuesday morning. They go
from here to Dale Creek, Wyo.,
the manuever grounds about
forty miles west of Cheyenne,
"Wyoming, where they will go
through the yearly manuevers
until August 17th. They will
then return to Ft. Robinson.
These men have shown them
selves to be gentlemen by their
good conduct while in Alliance.
Many of them attended the
Union Meeting held Sunday
evening at the Methodist church
for the purpose of hearing Rev.
J. L. Vallow preach his farewell
serinon to his congregation in
Alliance. The hospital corps
with the Regiment is the famous
corps which volunteered first to
take the recent anti toxin test in
which experiments were being
carried on, relative to an anti
toxin for typhoid fever.
