A
MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES
Dm of tbe I.arget Crowds In History
Ibwrvrd Occasion Hun
dy Afternoon
Memorial Day was observed by
Alliance people Sunday afternoon, at
tbe fair grounds, the event being ob
served with patriotic speeches and
ty patriotic music by tbe band and
others. Despite the disagreeable
weather, an extra large crowd was
present. '
The parade started from town at
1 o'clock, headed by the Alliance
band. Next came the members of
the fire department, and they were
followed by forty UtUo girls in pat
riotic costumes. Last but not least
rame tbe member of tbe O. A. II.
and their wives and the Spanish war
veterans. After reaching tbe fair
grounds, the program was opened by
martial air by tbe band, followed
by a selection by the male quartette.
Rev. Olin S. Baker delivered a
powerful prayer, voicing tbe sentl
menis of the American people that
there be no more war, and that peace
toon descend over the world and re
main forever. A scripture reading
and appropriate remarks for the day
were given by Rev. Morphy.
The principal address of the after--Boon
was delivered by Jack Miller,
Spanish war veteran, who iield the
rapt attention of the large audience
throughout his discourse, which was
a strong one. In part Mr. Miller
aid:
"This Is a mmorlal day of sacred
memory.
"We join In our annual tribute to
the memory of those who have an
swered the last call, with their sur
viving comrades, who are as worthy
of honor as the brave heroes who fell
by their sides, because they as truly
risked their lives and only accident
Ally escaped death.
"It Is with patriotism and respect
that we observe this memorial of the
nation's worthy deceased soldiers
who nobly died on or because of the
war which was for the cation's pres
ervation. "And we thank Ood for tbelr type
of patriotism.
"This memorial day la observed,
sot lest we forget, but because we do
sot and canont forget. And we hon
or ourselves In honoring our heroes.
"To remember their patriotic spir
it and heroic deeds Is to make us
more patriotic and heroic
"Memorial dajr reminds us that It
waa a bloody war that makes the ob
servation of such a day as this neces
sary. Many causes contributed to
tbe Civil war. In the south, the
theory was held that the government
waa a union of states and that a state
had a right to withdraw from that
onion.
"The north held that this nation
-waa a federal republic with a central
government with the right to enforce
its own laws and to preserve Its own
-existence by force if necessary. And
that war sttled the issue and united
the states into a genuine nationality
- under a common flag. That nation
al unity was proved immediately pre
ceding and during the Spanlsh-Am-etioan
war.
"For that war demonstrated the
fact that there was no north or no
aoutn. The north did not go to war
to free the slaves but to preserve the
union. But it had not, however.
progressed far until the slaves were;
emancipated. Because, as Lincoln
declared, a government cannot per-
manently endure half stave and half
free. Americana fought Americans'
In a long and bitter war and the un-'
Ion was preserved.
"The Spanish-American, war was
the evidence of the new national
pirlt. Instead of America for Am
ericans the idea was becoming Am
erica for humanity, and Cuba was
freed and the Philippine Islands are
being prepared for self government.
"We do not glory In war but we
do glory In tbe fact that for over one
hundred years we have fought tbe
.battles of our country and have trl- '
ampbed In every war. So let us pro-'
claim, not In arrogance, not in the
pirit of a national bully, not the '
aplrlt of a country looking for trou
ble, but that on account of our rec
ord, that we are an unbeatable na
tion. .
"And whether at Valley Forge in
1776, or at New Orleans In 1812, or
at the Alamo In 1847, or the long
nd bloody war of 1862 and 1865, or
at San Juan Hill or San Diego, or on
tbe distant shores of China, and tbe
far off Philippine Islands, American
arms have ever been victorious.
"And our flag, the stars and
tripes, that we all love, has ever
been carlred to victory with glory,
and to peace with honor.
"Those who understood the spirit
of the American soldier know, - that
almost without exception, tbey are
possessed with infinite courage and
bravery and that whenever there is
an undertaking when almost certain
death awaita those who go forward
that the volunteers are called upon
to perform the heroic duty; where
one man is needed one hundred go
forth unhesitatingly, gloriously and
bravely for tbe sacrifice. And If we
should be called upon to wage an
other war for human rights or tbe
honor of our flag, however reluctant
we might be aa a nation and as a
people to be drawn in'o a conflict,
when it once begins let no man doubt
that in the end this flag of ours, the
cymbol of the earth' greatest na
tion, shall float In triumph and in
glory.
"Tbe American man' patriotism
is only exceeded by the patriotism of
the American woman. When a div
ine providence looked down upon
thla country of our and observed the
patriotism of American woman He
chose this great people of our to
apread Christian civilization through
out the world and wishing to present
to us an emblem He sent an ambas
sador straight down from heaven and
aa he winged hi flight to earth be
took from the sky a portion dotted
All over with star and from the sun
It red and white ray and put them
Into the lap of an American woman,
who in her love and devotion wove
-them into tbe star and trlpea."
Rev. II. J. Young gave a very
forceful address on tbe "Grand Ar
my or tbe Republic While paying
particular tribute to the heroea of
the war of the '60s. Mr. Young said
thst there Is an ever-Increasing de
mand for fighters In tbe daily battle
of lire, those battles where conflict Is
waged between right and wrong.
"We have met today to commem
orate those who composed one of tbe
bravest and truest armies of men
that ever marched to the battle front
to fight for a principle or right. The
thought or the brotherhood or man
was uppermost In the hearts or the
Grand Army or the Republic, but
they understood that the conditions
or the times must be overcome Iri or
der to preserve for tbe ruture or this
country and the permanent welfare
or its people. The preservation or
th union was the first consideration
and tbe freeing or tbe slaves or the
south land became a part or the Is
sue by reason or It unfairness to hu
manity and the danger it afforded to
the United States.
"Back of the Proclamation of
Emancipation and the wonderful
campaign of the '60s, was the great
heart of Abraham Lincoln and the
heart of Lincoln was but a type of
the heart of tbe American people.
America has always understood that
her chief capital In stock waa not her
wonderful material wealth but rath
er In her spirit of fraternallsm and
freedom, her standing together
against the common foe of human
ity' best interest. And so these
men whose lives and whose death we
honor fought a warfare of kindly in
terest and of brotherly consideration,
laying broad and deep from the firm
foundation for future solidity of na
tional achievement.
"To us who today are on the firing
line there Is a call for fighting or a
different sort, where the grind of
routine work I to be endured but
where the bravery and the courage
Is at Its highest premium when the
Grand Army of the Republic wetn
forth to battle. And tbe growth of
the brotherhood or man I calling to
day a never berore ror the real con
sideration or the principles or free
dom and the spirit of liberty. Tbe
achievements or tbe past are but a
signal ror larger achievements In the
ruture. The star and stripes which
have been so beautifully eulogized
here today should thrill us to as
grand a work a ha ever been done
by any nation under the sun. Ad
herence to the principle for which
these men fought In the war of the
'60 will lead us out in the affairs of
tbe nationa to be a messenger or
mercy in the struggle ror world
peace."
The Hemingrord post observed the
day in Alliance and their command
er, James Barry, made a speech in
response to Chairman Tash's Invita
tion. , Tbe speaker said that they
were glad to be with the Alliance
veterans. Those who attended from
Hemlngford were A. M. Miller, Jas.
Barry, Fred Abley and U. W. Loer.
Tbe program closed with the bene
diction by the Rev. Mclntyre.
At the cemetery rorty-five graves
were decorated and at each grave I.
E. Tash gave an Individual eulogy or
tbe soldier who fought so bravely ror
bis country. I Mr. Tash has known
most or the veterans personally and
has taken a kindly Interest In their
later lire.
Wherever possible the grave was
decorated by a comrade or tbe dead,
and each soldier deposited a white
flower on the mound. The Spanish
war soldiers came to "port arms",
and the salute was fired, after which
"taps" was sounded and tbe aged
veterans returned to their homes to
await tbe day when they shall be
called to the final resting place.

PACKARD "TWIN SIX"
Announcement of New Packard
Twelve-Cylinder Car Made In
ThU Issue of The Herald
A tumult of rumors relating to a
twelve cylinder Packard has been
crystalized by the announcement or
the "Twin-Six".
In external appearance the new
car retains all or the well known
Packard characteristics. It looks
much like previous models, except
that the hood Is shorter, tbe radiator
tapered to conform with it and the
running boards set two inches near
er to the ground. The reduced
length or hood permits or a shorter
wheel base.
When the hood is lifted startling
changes are revealed. The twelve
cylinder are there all right, but it is
hard to realize that such a power
plant can be so compactly stored
away.
The "Twin-Six" motor is exactly
what it name implies, two cylinder
blocks ararnged in V form with an
angle of sixty degrees between them.
This small Included angle allows
such accessories as starting motor,
generator and water pump to be
placed in tbe standard Packard posi
tion Just Inside the frame.
The new car will be furnished in
two wbeelbase lengths, the "1-35" is
135 inches and carries practically
the present line of Packard bod lea.
Tbe "1-25" ia 125 lnchea and takes
a new line of Packard built bodies
which are a little less In length.
Those who have seen the new
Packard "Twin-Six" motor and drlv
en behind it say that it mark the
greatest advance in motor car design
lnt-e the passing of the primitive
cne-lunger.
FOUR SENTENCED TO PEN
Judge Westover I tendered Verdicts
In Criminal tasea at Adjourned
Court Hcuxlon Monday
Four men were taken to the state
penitentiary Wednesday evening by
Sheriff .Cox, these four having re
ceived sentences of from one to ten
years rrom Judge Westover,, who
came here Monday to dispose or the
cases. The cases varied considera
bly In regard to the crime commit
ted, there being horse stealing, wire
abandonment, carrying concealed
weapons and larceny, two or the
criminals being tn tbelr teens.
The first case waa that of Charles
Gresher, who plead guilty to steal
ing a valuable horse from J. R. Phe
lan several weeks ago. Gresher
went rrom Alliance Into Wyoming on
the horse, stealing a gun on the way.
At the time or his arrest,. Gresher
stated that be had not bad a fair
chance, as he had no gun on his per
son when the sheriff came after him.
Judge Westover, before pronouncing
sentence, had a heart-to-heart talk
with the young man. He asked
Gresher why he had picked the
course of a "bad man" at bo early an
age, telling him or the evils or such
a course, and the sureness or retri
bution, as a criminal was soon ap
prehended by the long arm or the
law. At first the young man was
inclined to back up bis answers with
a sort of bravado. He stated that
be bad read many books, and It Is
surmised that to this class of litera
ture he can lay hi downfall. Tbe
judge was inclined to be as lenient
a possible, giving the boy some
sound advice regarding his ruture
actions, and telling blm that tbe
length or his prison term depended
on hi own action. At the words
"rrom one to ten years at bard labor
In the state penltentlury", Gresher
moved not a muscle. He returned
to his seat and sat with head resting
on his hands, staring Into space. Full
realization did not come to him until
he started on hi Journey to the pen
itentiary. Clarence L. Allen round to his
sorrow that wire abandonment is a
serious crime. When asked hi rea
son for deserting his mate on July
19, 1914, he shifted hi gaze and
said that "they had a quarrel", and
he decided they were better off sep
arated. Since their separation he
had contributed nothing toward her
support. The judge gave him a terse
lecture on the seriousness or mar
ried lire, and on the consequences
that rollowed when men deserted
their wives. One year wa his sen
tence. Ernest Pate, alias Roy Ray, was
given a sentence or rrom one to
three years ror larceny. It will be
remembered that he stole a watch
rrom the person or Dennis Cavan
augh on May 1, and later sold it to
Conley Miller. Ray was arrested
near Crawford two weeks ago and
brought to Alliance,
was brought before the court, he an-;
When John Lewella, a Mexican,
was brought before the court, he an
swered one or two questions and
then Informed the Judge that he
could not "talk English". An In
terpreter was sent for, and the ques
tions were asked In that way, but af
ter the first one Lewella remarked
that tbe Interpreter was no good, and
at that decided he could talk English
all right without the aid of the sec
ond man. When asked where he
gat the butcher knife he was carry
ing, he told a story or how he had
picked It up at Crawford and had
I put It in his belt ror safe keeping.
lie was sentenced ror from one to
two years.
The divorce case or Harriet Leake
vs. George Leake was dismissed
when both parties agreed to pay tbe
costs and let the matter drop.
LAND CASE SETTLED
Judge Wetttover Renders Decision in
Favor of W. G. Wambaugh in
W ani bau gh-Sturg eon Case
What is perhaps the most import
ant decision In land circles that has
ever been heard in this part of the
state, was handed down by Judge
Westover Monday when he round in
favor or W. G. Wambaugh, plaintiff
In the case of Wambaugh vs. Stur
geon.
Testimony In this case was given
at the last session of tbe district
court, but owing to the amount, and
the Importance of tbe case, Judge
Westover reserved hi decision until
the adjourned session Monday. Tbe
case involves tbe validity or what is
commonly known aa "blowout" cor
ner, on the corner or township 24,
range 47. All the land in the ad
joining counties, and in fact the
Sheridan county line, was located on
the authenticity of the corner, ac
cording to tbe testimony which was
Introduced.

surveyors was Introduced against
this, as tbey claimed they had locat
ed the corner a mile west of the
"blowout" corner. If tbe location
bad been changed, Box Butte county
would have lost a strip amounting to
about a mile square. This land be
longed to Mr. Wambaugh. Several
surveyors made the location a mile
to the west, claiming that it was tbe
original government corner of tbe
township. The plaintiff and other
old settlers In this part of tbe coun
try claimed that "blowout" had been
the recognized corner ror the past
thirty years. Had the Judge recog
nized the new corner, hundreds or
changes would have been necessary,
both or farm and county lines.
Another case which was the same
as the Wambaugh, and which wa
govrened by the same decision, was
that of Clough vs. Brown, attorney
on both side agreeing to let tbe one
case govern both. A number or
cases or a similar nature now pend
ing in other counties will be govern
