DRILLING HAS
STARTED AT THE
LAKESIDE WELL
FINDING T EASY WORK TO GO
THROUGH SAND.
Sixly-five Fret the Record for the
First Day' Work l-otn
of Sightseer.
Drilling has started at the Lakeside
oil well. For two or three weeks tli
announcement has been expected, and
the crowd of visitors at the plant has
lieen increasing daily. The well was
spudded in at 5:4" p. m. Saturday, and
the drilling will continue, without in
terruption, it is hoped, until a depth of
at lea t o.OOO feet has boon reached.
The first thousand feet is expected
to be eaxy work . The drillers have
J been to'd that the sand goes down that
far, ami the big rotary dnll goes so
fa at through this s-and stratum that
the only danger is that the well will
j:o down too fa.-.t for safety. Unless
the drillers are fairly cautious while
diilling in sand, there is danger that
the walls may cave in.
During the fir-t twenty hours, thei
twenty-inch hole had gone down rixty
tie feet. Everything hail gone along
beautifully for the first twenty-four
hours. They . are using the rotary
drill, although their equipment in
cludes both rotary and standard drills.
The drillers have no way of estimat
ing how far they may expect to find
the sand. Already they have struck
a small layer of gravel, but it did not
la.-t long, and Sunday at sixty-fit c
feet they were back again in the sand.
A b'g crowd of interested sepeeta
tors were arriving and departing all
day Saturday and Sun-lav. Sunday is
the favorite day for the sightseers, but
ev'Mi on week davs a number of people
find time to inspect tiie workings of
the machinery and imiuire as to the
Vn.gross lioing made. Al'iance people
.-. u especially interested in the well,
a number of carloads of tlwiu living
present when it was spudded in.

LABOR DAY IS
CELEBRATED IN
HOLIDAY STYLE
USUAL PARADE HY UNIONISTS
DISPERSED ITIL
Big Crowd Attend Roundup at Fair
view Odd Fellows Enjoy Pic
nic at Purinton Grove.
Labor day in Alliance lost a good
deal of its usual significance, due to
the fact that the unions derided not
to attempt a formal celebration this
year. The day was observed by the
men, however most of whom treated it
as 11 n ordinary holiday. In other
jeais, there have been parades by the
various labor unions, as well as a for
mal program calculated to impress
the world with the dignity of labor.
The holiday feature was quite gen
erally observed. Practically all of the
stores closed at noon or earlier in
the morning, in order to give the em
ploye.; a holiday. There heipg no so
cial enlci tainment oll'ered by Alliance,
the pleasure seeking crowd took to
thejr automobile and spent the day
in a pleasure trip, or attended some
of the celebrations arranged in differ
ent paits of the county. Two of these
proved most popular, the round-up at
Fairview, and the Odd Fellows picnic
at the Purinton grove.
The Fairview round up was prob
ably the best patronized attraction on
I.a' or day. The number of automo
biles parked on the grounds was es
timated at five hundred, and the en
tertainment provided was most elab
orate There wore as many attrac
tions roing o,i at once as there is
v. ith the u-'t.d three-ringi d circus.
Vh festivities started at 1()::!0 a. in.
and the program included pictty much
of evoything that can be found at
we.-i.'in open-air round ups. It was
a mo t r.mbltious program for the
Fairview community, and was an even
preatrr success than they had antici
pated. Among the attractions offered at '
Fairview were exhibitions of broncho '"'V? J-"""" "

which were interesting, but not exact

There were two or three accidents
that marred the day somewhat, but
none of them resulted periously. Dur
ing the game between the Fairview
girls and boys, in which a soft ball
and huge bat were used, a fly ball
struck the infant babe of Mr. and Mrs.
Ferdinand Trenkle on the cheek bone.
It was not necessary to call medical
attention.
Herman Brost was thrown for sev
eral yards during the relay race,
when he attempted to stop one of the
horses preparatory to mounting it and
continuing the race. The animal
stepped on his ankle and bruised him
somewhat, but he ros from the
ground and assisted the rider to mount
and then fell in a faint. Within a
few minutes he had recovered, but
will have to use crutches in walking
for some days.
Casey Haley, ball player, was

playing the remainder of the game.

The big event of the day was the
baseball game between the Alliance

game la-ted eight and one-half innings
and ended in favor of Alliance, with a
score of It to 16. It was a good game
all the way through, with several Al

Sheriff J. W. Miller, Deputy Sheriff
Thomas Miskimcn, Chief of Polk
Jeffcrs and Officer Eugene Stilwell en
gineered a raid on the Rodgers room'
ing house, on Box Butte avenue, con
ducted by Mrs. Minnie Rosrtta and
her husband, Harry Rosetta. Thia im
tho first raid that has been pulled on
this establishment, but it ia by far th
most successful. Nine pemns, alx ot
them women, were placed under ar
rest. One of the men was a Mexican.
Ihe raid took place a!out 11:30
Monday night under a search warrant
that was issunI several dny.i ago, the
police authorities laying low until they
had an opportunity to "get the gooda"
on the place. The olice found what
they were looking for, they say. It
was 3 o'clock before the prisoner
were assigned quarters in the city and
county bastiles. Sheriff Miller decided
to make a night of it, and failed to go
to bed at all.
According to Chief Jeffers, when
the officers arrived, Mrs. Kosetta was
washing dishes. A niece, who makes
her home there, was in an adjoining
room. Mrs. Rosetta called on high
heaven to witness that sho waa being
persecuted, and made a bee-line for
the telephone, to get into communica
tion with her favorite legal defender.
Then the hunt began.
In one of the rooms, a man and
wnm;n discovered dressed in a moro;
or less sketchy fashion. In another
was a man who had two half-pinta on
his hip. The police say he agreed t
te -tify that he purchased the liquor at
tha rooming house. In othr rooms
and scattered about, tho halls were
other bonze receptacles. On top of a
pile of soiled sheets and pillow cava
in the clothes chute were found four ,
more bottles which had contained
booze., the officers say, one or two of.
them still containing n drink. On the
roof, just above the rcHr entrant, a.
jug was found, which had also been
recently emptied. In the halU vrere
found some dead soldiers. The entire
collection including the people in tho.
place, were taken to jail, and it waa
11 a. m. before County Attorney'
Baye had been able to get the- evi
dence rounded up and the complaints
drawn. Mrs. Rosetta s niece was left
in charge of the rooming house dur
ing the interim while the proprietor!
were away.
Two Bixteen-yenr-old girl. wer
taken in tho raid, and the police re
cognized one of them as the girl orec
whom the parents had quarreled some
months ago. There were three children
in the family, and the father finally
left Alliance with the two younger
children, the police nay, leaving tl
o'der with the mother, who was era
ployed in a local cafe.
The other girl has been in Alliance
before. Both have been in the city tor
three or four week-, ind the police,
have followed up their record here. At
one place where they took rooms they
were requested to leave after, three,
flays; at the Wilson home on East '
Third, where they stayed two nights,
they left aftr setting ftre to the bed
clothing via the cigarette route. They
took rooms with the Rosettas only
yesterday, and were arrested when,
they returned for the night.
Th? last tima the Rosettas got In
bad with the authorities was during
the race meet, when the .place wa ,
raided arid a cunning concealed closet
was found, where hoozu could be ami
was hidden. On this occasion Mrs.
Rosetta pleaded guilty and was fined
lt):) and cos, clearing her huabnjid.
The police authorities say they are.
going to a;-k that the place lie closed
by the authorities unijr the Albert
Ir.w, which is believed to fit thia room
ing house.
