LABOR DAY
CELEBRATION
Thousand of Town niMl Country Peo
ple Witnessed Frv Program
Monday Afternoon
EVERYONE WAS WELL PLEASED
Fully three thousand people wit
nessed the free Labor Day program
which was Kiven by the city of Alli
ance at the lair grounds Monday af
ternoon, farmers and business nien
were both present with their famil
ies, and all laughed and made merry,
for they enjoyed the occasion to the
utmost. Everybody had a good time,
and they came right out and said so
to their friends and neighbors.
One of the features of the after
noon was the ball game between the
Alliance Christians and the Heralng
ford Methodists, in which Alliance
came out victorious with a score of
15 to 1. Some say it was 16 to 1,
but all agree that Hemingford got 1.
The game was a good one, but it was
seen at the start that Alliance had a
shade the advantage, which they
kept all the7 time. Ray Butler, the
phenomenal young pitcher, was in
the box for Alliance, and pitched a
beautiful game. There were only
three errors against Alliance. Young
Butler is improving with each game,
and gives his opponents all they are
looking for and a little more
thrown in.
The game between the farmers and
the business men was about the same
as it was last year, with the excep
tion that it was perhaps a slightly
faster and more exciting game. As
near as anyone can tell the farmers
had 5 and the business men 2 at the
close, but the official score has been
"unavoidably lost" and cannot be
found to substantiate the claims of
e'lier side.
The Are department pulled off
some excellent stunts that entertain
ed and interested the spectators.
Many people did not realize "how the
lire department worked" until they
saw the exhibition Monday after
noon. Assistant Chief Filkington
gave a couple of exhibitions of quick
stopping, and the other members of
the department furnished the quick
hose couplings. If there had been a
fire plug on the grounds and a tire
had broken out, It would have lasted
just aobut as long as a snowball in
a warmer climate, for the boys were
just rearin' to go. The relay race by
the teams was a good one, and the
boys made extra good time. The race
was won by No. 3 hook and ladder
company. An exhibition of high kick
ing by George Nation was good and
was watched with interest.
The baby show was an interesting
one, not only to the fond mother, but
to the men and the other outsiders
as well. Of course, only one of them
could take first prize, and a number
of mothers turned away with broken
hearts (?) when the judges announc
ed their decision. The points on
which the judges based their decis
ion were as follows: General ap
pearance, 60; physical development,
25; weight according to age, 15, and
regularity of features, 10, thus the
general appearance of the infant was
what counted most. Many of the
mothers thought the judging would
be from the physical development or
the weight according to age, and ne
glected the other points on this ac
count. However, the babies were all
pretty and chubby, and It was too
bad they all couldn't have won priz
es. After much trouble with the greas
ed pig, It was caught by Walter
Yount, but alas. Walter had It In his
possession only a short time when it
escaped, and the last heard of It was
in the vicinity of the Burlington via
duct. Following is the list of events, and

GOING AFTER ROBBER
Sheriff Cox Departed Lat Night for
St. Louis with Requisition Pa
per for Charley Drenkley
Sheriff Cox started for East St.
Louis last night on 42 with requisi
tion papers for Charley Brenkley,
who made bis getaway from Alliance
shortly after he robbed Ernest Beck
er's house east of town on August 22,
securing a gold watch, charm and
chain and 13 in money.
Sheriff Cox has a brother who is In
the St. Louis police department, and
as Brenkley had remarked before he
departed that he was going to that
city to "see his girl" it was not a dif
ficult matter to locate him as soon as
his description was sent. As soon
as the brother had discovered the
quarry he telegraphed Sheriff Cox,
and requisition papers were issued
at once.
Brenkley will be returned the lat
ter part of this week and held until
the district court meets this month.

LITTLE . BOY LOST
Three-Year-Old Son of .lames Ken
nedy Took long Trip Sn I tin lay
Found In the Country
, Lute Saturday afternoon the oflic-
'high school, had disappeared, and
.their aid was enlisted in the search.
Besides the family and the officers,
many friends volunteered their serv
ices, and in a short time a dozen or
more people were looking for the lit
tle tot. The search continued until
late In the evening, but to no avail.
It had Just been decided to sound the
fire alarm and call out the popula
tion of Alliance when Jerry Rowan
drove into town with the young man
safely ensconsed In his automobile
where he was enjoying blniBelf great
ly. There are several small children
in the Kennedy family, and the Uttl
fellow was not missed for some time
after his disappearance. A number
of people had noticed an unaccom
panied little fellow on the streets,
but had attached no significance to
this, thinking that the parents were
close. After wandering around on
the streets for some time the boy ev
idently decided the country looked
good to him, and started west. When
found by Mr. Rowan he was about
two miles from town. An effort to
learn his identity was met with the
answer that he lived In the "school"
and that his father's name was
"Jim".
The parents were almost frantic,
thinking that the little fellow had
fallen Into some excavation or had
been run over by an automobile, and
a dozen other contingencies which
miKht have happened, and there was
much rejoicing when he whs return
ed safely and unharmed.
FIRE CONSUMES FORD
Harry ShowalUT Ist Car Which
Cost Him $800 Partially Cov
ered by Insurance
Harry Showalter's Ford will no
more be seen on the streets of Alli
ance, at least It will never be the
same one, even if it is repaired.
Of course you remember that Ford
that appeared on the streets about
once a week "Just the way you
were going to fix your Ford when
yon got one", Harry had spent about
1800 on the car, including the initial
cost.
Well, to get back to the story, Har
ry was hunting on the lakes on the
J. E. Rice ranch last Saturday. Leav
ing the car to do some hunting, it
was supposedly "shut off" In proper
shape. But a defective carburetor
got in Us work, evidently right away
after the owner had departed. When
Clint Ewing started to crank the car
on their return, the engine backfired
and the gas caught Instantly.
Although they were right in the
center of the sand hills, geographic
ally speaking, there was not a drop
of sand to be bad, for they were on
the banks of the lake where the
ground was hard. Water was car
ried from the lake as fast as possible,
and this killed the effects of the
flames to sone extent. The fire fol
lowed te gasoline connection to the;
rwr of the car, and the 28-gallon
unk was melted and every drop of
gas burned. The car was Insured
for $400, about half what it cost to
purchase and equip it.
- It bad been the Intention of the
men to spend the night at the lake
and get the drop on the early morn
ing ducks, but the hunt was ended
rather abruptly when the accident
occurred.
Birthday Party
Little Miss Vivian Dow celebrated
her seventh birthday Tuesday after
noon at the home of her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. C. A Dow. The guests
were Misses Janice Wills, Vera Low
ry, Lucile Dickenson, Mildred Greg-
lory, Irene Larivere, Ruth Schill, and
rcveiyn nunn, and Masters uienn
Hughes, Arthur Lunn, Clarence Gib
son, Clifford Gregory, William Irish,
Howard Cogswell, Henry Ryckman
and Wade Ellis. The tables were
decorated with pink and white sweet
peas, and in tne center reposed a
large birthday cake. Games were
played on the lawn until the refresh
ments were served, when the couples
walked to the table, arm in arm
Miss Vivian has a circle of little
friends that wish her many more
such pleasant birthdays.
Returned from Trip
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Tash returned
home Monday morning on the train
from their trip to Thurman, Iowa, to
rlsl with her parents. The Moon
roadster. In which they made the
trip, is now in Thurman, where Char
He traded It for a town lot. Charlie
said he "fought" mud all the way,
and that it took him about ten times
as long to make the trip as It would
have if the roads had been in good
shape, and that the return trip would
have been even worse. That's why
Charlie now has a city lot instead of
a Moon roadster.
Christian! Win Cliamplonship
The Alliance Christians won the
big Labor Day game Monday by the
score of 15 to 1. The game, how
ever, was not so one-sided as the
score would Indicate and It took bard
and consistent playing on the part of
the Christians to win the rame. The
large score was due to errors by the
Ulemlngfordites. Waddell, who start
!::!.:r.:i;T,,;,:;'rS' ssxs
from his eam-mates and later when'
the Hemingford players tightened up
it wan too late as the Alliance bunch
had the game cornered with runs to
spare. Hemingford made their lone
run in the ninth Inning and had a
man on second and third when the
last out whs made. ,
n. I. m . . I
iiie icniure vi me game was tne
pitching or Ray Butler for Alliance.
He is a boy wonder, and with train
ing he should be able to get Into the
big leagues some day if he so desires.
The winning of Monday's game gives
the county championship to the
Christian Sunday school, having won
thirteen games out of the fifteen
played.

parted Tuesday night for Gordon,
bidding a fond goodbye to Alliance
as they left town. Friends of Woods
paid the costs of bis trial, and agreed
that If the court would only suspend
sentence he would never - show his
face here again. The court gladly
consented to this arrangement, hence

with him. Woods, together with

white men, were arrested at the
Woods home two weeks ago for gam
bling. Woods was given $75 and
costs, and Curtis $50 and the trim
mings. The white men were gfvej

could only have her own dear Sollle
once more. Before he departed, the

pension of sentence was only in force
as long as he fought shy of Alliance,
but that he would be dealt with sev
erely If he ever appeared here again.

School Started Monday
Monday morning the kids wended
their way to the different schools
with downcast countenances and
physical dejections, for school offic
ially opened on that day. The kids
were all aware of the fact that school
would be dismissed for the day ' as
soon as tney naa neen assignee. 10
their books, schools and grades, but
the mere thought of entering a
s. .tool room after a three months va
cation was enough In Itself to com
pletely discountenance them, and a
few of the boys and girls made
known their opinions on the subject
of schools. But after a few hours in
the schoolroom they seemed to lose
their terror and got down to busi
ness, and all the schools are now
running smoothly and every student,
from the smaller to the larger ones,
is doing his best to make a creditable
showing. A teachers' meeting was
hvld in the high school building last
Saturday afternoon and all teachers
were prepared to start out In the
best manner.
