AT TRACK MEET
HERE ON FRIDAY
MARGIN OF FIVE POINTS OVEI
EIGHT WESTERN TEAMS.
Largest Meet Ever HeM in This Part
of the State Records Better Than
Any so Far in the State.
' '
Alliance won first place in the
fourth annual western Nebraska track,
meet Friday with fifty points, Morrill
coming in second with forty-five and
one-half. Scottsbluff was third with
twenty-eight and one-half. . Lirigle
of Morrill won the trophy for individ-t
.ual honors with twenty-four points.
Dailey of the locals -was second with
twenty-one. The individual honor tro
phy was donated by H. F. Thiehv
Morrill won W. R, Harper's relay cup
aetung a new western Nebraska re-4
cord of 1:39 S-5. The feat of Lowry
of Morrill in hurling the javelin' 16Q
feet 8 inches was perhaps the most
impressive of the meet. Dailey and
L ingle, who equalled the state record
of 16 3-6 in the high hurdles, when
they ran a dead heat, also surprised
the fans. Dailey stepped the 220 yard
dash in 22 3-5, or one-rift h slower than
than the staet record. Dailey's team
mate, Beal, who took second was about
one yard to the rear of the tall speed
ster. Alliance took two places in each
of the track events, with the exception
of the mile in which a second was tak
en. Strong, star miler for the locals,
was unable to run, due to the terriffic
pace he had set in the half just before,
or this would have meant an easy first
for the locals. Strong set a new west
ern Nebraska record of 2:08 3-5 in
this event. Strong and Beal, the two
blue and white tracksters who finished
first and second in this event, were
far ahead of the rest of the field,
Strong leading Love of' Scottsbluff,
who finished third, by a good fifty
yards.
Garvin's Absence Noticed.
The absence of Garvin. star field
man of the locals was greatly noticed,
Alliance not placing in the shot put,
high jump or javelin, three events in
which Garvin exceled, and from rec
ords, could have easily placed.
Beal of Alliance was one of the
most coasistant scorers in the meet,
taking three seconds and one first.
Beal easily broke the western record
in the 220 and half mile, only to finish
second to Dailey and Strong, Beal ran

COUNCIL WILL
DECIDE FATE
OF POOL HALLS
SESSION THURSDAY EVENING
DUE TO BE INTERESTING.
After Involuntary Ten-Day Vncation
License Question to Be
Threshed Out Then.
The Thursday evening session of.
the Alliance city council will be slight
ly reminiscent of old times. On that
evening the pool hall proprietors of the
city for be present in full force, and
some of them will be represented Ly
attorneys, the object of the visit being
to convince the council that they ure
fit persons to be granted a license to
continue in that business for another
year.
In other days, the council used to
have meetings that were largely at
tended by the public for the enter
tainment features, but the present
council has not held any sessions that
have been distinguished by the quan
tity and quality of the oratory. Before
the city manager plan went into cllect,
the populace used to turn out for ar
guments on the telephone franchise
question and others which roniiined
oratorical possibilities, but tne present
council has been taking only an hour
or two to decide the momentous ques
tions that have arisen, and has man
aged to transact its business without
fireworks of any kind.
Thursday evening's session has pos
sibilites, however, and it may be that
some of the old guard that used to fill
the benches may be tempted to come
out, provided the pool hall men and
their advocates do not fill all the avail
able seats.
The council, at its last meeting, held
just before the first of the month, was
confronted by the usual stack of ap
plications for new licenses. The vrik
of grunting these went along merrily
and smoothly, until the city duds
picked up the first application for a
pool hall license. Then the discussion
started. Two or three council .nen ob
jected to granting a license to the first
application on the list. It as pas.-ed,
temnorarilv. Then it was di-covcred
that the second application was duo to
meet with objection. It, too, was pas
sed. and then the council took an un
prece.lented step. It laid all applica
tions on the Ud.le for two weons.
A Ten-Day Vacation.
This action resulted in a vacation
of ten days for the pod hulls. Under!

murmurs on the part of the pool halls,

have not Ixen made publu-lv.
The council was inspired to take
the action by complaint made airainst
these e.-tablishments. Police reported

Girl in Juvenile
Court Prefers Reform
School to Going Home
On complaint of E. L. Routh, farmer
living ten miles southwest of Alli
ance, his daughter, Mildred, aged six
teen, appeared in juvenile court this
morning. Her father alleged that the
girl was incorrigible, disobedient and
had left home. He asked the court to
appoint a suitable person or institution
as her guardian.
rrom the testimonv. it aDneared
that the girl some days ago left the
parental home and went to the home
of a cousin, Robert Peister, on the
west shore of Broncho lake. On Sat
urday she came to Alliance and went
to tne home ot another relative, Mrs,
C. H. Itockev.
At the hearing, the girls mother)
testified that they had fed and clothed
the child, sent her to the city and
country scnoois, ami uuin i Know wny
she left home.
When the girl took the stand, she
declared that she had deserted the par
ental domicile because her parents
forced her to do all the work inside
of the house. She objected chiefly to
the fact that everywhere she went,
she w as forced to carry a two-year-old
child around with her. A brother,
thirteen years of aire, and larger, con
tinually fouirht with her and had
beaten her sevciely without her par
ents interposing any objection. She
told Judge Tash that last summer,
after a severe beating, she had plan
ned to ask his protection, but fear for
heivelf and that she would get her
parents into trouble made her change
her mind. She told of one occasion
when she had lo. t a dime at school.
Her mother, sk; said, told her not to
tome home without it or she would he
whipped, and she had saved her.-clf
punishment by getting the money of
an aur.t. Continual lieatings and
abuse, she said, mada her run away
from home, and she told the court that
she would prefer to o to the reform
school to returning home.
The rmI's father denied the exces
siva punishment, but the mother en
tered no objection to the girl's tes-
I imnnv.
Judge Tash called in the juveni'e
court probation
oliicer, Mrs. L. t.
Thomas, who discovered scars on her
body, though none were of recent date.
Deep scratches were on the girl's
wrist. These, she told Mrs. Thomas,
were inflicted by her mother last week

Eleven Wires Sent Urging Selection

' tlon of Club Women.
Alliance got some mighty good ad
vertising through the stunt arranged
by Secretary Lloyd C. Thomas of the
chamber of commerce, in connection
with the invitation to the bixtli dis
ir3 district convention in Alliance.
Seven cities in the district extended
invitations, among t hem Scottsbluff
and Sidney, but the Alliance invitation
drew the most comment. The last day
of the convention, Secretary Thomas
got in touch with the heads of several
organizations in the city, and the
result was eleven telegrams.
Mrs. S. W. Thompson of this city,
who attended the convention, reported
that the telegrams went over wi'h a
j , There was no particular com
ment during the reading of the first
nan dozen wires, but from then on
the convention was aroused to an ap
preciation of Alliance hospitality. The
result wa th-t a special resolution
was nassed. thanking this city for its
cordial invitation. This resolution was
the only one of its kind that was
adopted, which had a tendency to

Courts of the

Open Sunday
The tennis courts of the Alliance
tennis club were completed Sunday
und were in use all Sunday afternoon
and evening, lhe dirt is still some

edied. The backstops, which are twelve
and one-half feet high easily keep the
balls in the court.
It 'n planned later in the season to
stage a city tennis tournament, and if
enough interest is shown to stage
Doys championship, and a junior
championship. The former would be
restricted to all boys under 16 years
of age, and the latter to boys under
IS. This would give the younger
players a chance to win. while other
wise they would have to compete with
older and more experienced players.
Suitable prizes will no doubt be

IMPORTANCE OF .
ALLIANCE AS A
RAILROAD CITY
A. C. SMART TALKS TO C. OF G
LUNCHEON MONDAY.
Yearly Payrolls Here Over a Miltk
DollarsAlliance People Invited
for "Inspection Trip.
A. G. Smart, general superlntendee&
ofthe Burlington railroad, with hand
quarters at Alliance, and a member eft
the chamber of commerce, waa present
at the Monday luncheon by invitation
and gave an interesting talk on riU
road affairs and plana. In his talk ft
stated that Alliance ought to be largwr.
that its population should be mud
heavier than it now Is; that thia eit
is headquarters for the operation
maintenance and construction on over
2,000 tnilea of railroad, in Montana.
Wyoming, - South Dakota, Nebraska
and Colorado; that from a railroad
viewpoint no other town in thia section)
of the country eompaaes with A1U
ance. . . .
Mr. Smart stated that the All Lanes
railroad payrolls amount up to Largei
sums the month of March was oo
of the poorest in years but the pay
roll here for that month, with 1,241
employes, amounted to over 1167,000
60 per cent of which goes to Alliance
and that the yearly payrolls to Alii
ance run from $1,000,000 to $1,200,000.
He also stated that the taxes paid)
in Box Butte county last year amount
ed to $41,000. The question of popu
lation here, he said, should be consid
ered very much, and Alliance shoulj
be more of a commercial distributing?
point One local institution, the New
berry Hardware company, shows what
can be done. A Lincoln institution of
the same kind is run by a student 4
the Newberry business Cass Cornell,
Over 2,000 miles of railroad receive
their instructions from Alliance, said
Mr. Smart. Men working on the
Sterling division live here. Alliance
has a permanent payroll, with an aver
age of $134 per month per employee,
which means much to tne town. Hej
stated that he was glad to say that
the company has had the undivided
support of ull the real people of thQ
city and community.
Superintendent tsmart referred toi
the potato industry, as our one big in
dustry, and offered the assistance of
the agricultural department of the
railroad company in this Industry and:
its kindred lines of agriculture.
Improvements for Alliance.
The railroads do not have everything
they want, Mr. Smart Raid. One bil
lion five hundred million dollars will
be paid by the eople of the United
States for the experiment made during
recent years, ine railroads are lust
recovering from the experiment. Alli
ance is to share in the new improve
ments being made over the system.
From $85,000 to S!0,000 will be ex
pended for a new power house, allow-,
ing the installation of several more (
Irop p ts. A new of! ice buildinor wilt
be erected for the master mechanic at
a cost of about $4,000.
The average person in Alliance has
no idea of. the magnitude of the
Burlington plant in this city. Alliance
handles the heaviest locomotives that
the Burlington runs. Oil trains bound
east and banana trains bound west all
contribute their share to Alliance.
Business Is commencing to show some
signs of life. Lumber shipments are
ncreasing. With the coal strike on.
the oil shipments from Wyoming are
heavier than ever before. Mr. Smart
stated that the president of the Stan
dard Oil company of New Jersey had
informed him that the Salt Creek field
of Wyoming was the largest in the.
world.
"If Alliance merchants are not get
ting their share of the Burlington
payroll they ought to start to adver
tise," said Mr. Smart. In response to
a uestion-from Mr. IChein, Mr. Smart
extended an invitation to the people
of Alliance to make an "inspection
trip" through the Burlington plant
here. lie ul:o stated that the manual
training clas of the high school waa
welfo.no to isit the Htops. He was
roundly applauded at the close of his
