General Srtpt. Diflard has been
provided with, a track tricycle upon
which to make his dally trips to the
fair grounds- This saves him time
and does away with the services of
a team.
It is likely the Union Pacific Co.
wfll gave a "blanket" rate from all
points in Nebraska, pari of "Kansas
and part of Colorado to North Platte
daring the fair. This rate, or it
self, rS insure. a. large attendance.
Work of erecting' the woven wire
fence around the south and east
sides of the fair grounds was re
sumed Tuesday and will probably
be finished -this evening-. The
fence is not only neat in appearance
bat is substantial.
John McConnel, of Somerset,
has a number of fancy bred cattle
which he will exhibit in the live
stock department, and several horse
raisers have already signified their
intention of having' animals on ex
hibition. This department orom-
A.
ises to be well represented.
The work of frescoing"' and orna-
mentingythft interior of the palace
of art will probably be executed by
the ladies of the citv. There are a
attraber of
local artists who are
capable execrltirig: this work, and

Tise order for the steel facing:
for the main exhibitoa haE has
been placed with the manufacturers
aad the material will probably ar
rive about the middle of July. It
wSi only require a short time to
erect the building", as a largre force
of workmen will be employed.
Mr. StarkenT while in town yes
terday, informed ushehasatLodg-e
Pole a lion cut out of stone that
be wiH skip to the fair for exhibi
tion. It is a massive piece of work
weighing- 7, 00 lbs. He also has a
statue of a woman and a child, life
size, which he wi!l exhibit at
the fair.
H. F. ETelieer will begin constructing-
Iiis twenty-acre lake just
eastof Jefair .grounds the second
weefcTn . Jufyv and wT trash tnei work
with, his accustomed celerity. The
exhibit of pumping' plants, wind
mills, etc, will be placed on the
banks of this lake.
The members ot the women's de
partment are now making" arrange
ments for the dinner they will serve
on July 3d to delegates and visitors
to the congressional convention.
They expect to rent two store
buildings and will serve meals at
each"." By this means the ladies
expect to derive quite a sum of
money for their building- fund.
The race track, which was. glowed
in the early spring- and has-been
allowed to settle, wiH soon receive
the attention of the racing- commit
tee. It is the intention to put the
track in first-class condition;- mnch
better than it has been in the past.
The races will be one of the features
of the'fair, asd the entries will in
ciade some of the best horses in the
state.
The Wild West Wheelmen have
not as yet forranlated the program
for the meet to be held during- the
fair. The construction of the new
track and the races for the Fourth
of July have occupied the attention
of the committees for several weeks,
and these have pretty well con
sumed their time. Immediately
after the Fourth the wheelmen will
begin arranging" for the fair races.
A g-entfeman who spent hist week
in Dawson, Buffalo and Hall coun
ties, says the people of North Platte
do not realize what a great interest
the people of that section
of the state are taking- in the
fair. The first question asked is:
"How is the irrigation fair cosiing
on; evidence that the fair is upper
most in their mind. This interest
is not, however, confined to the
central part of the state, but a live
ly interest is also found in Omaha
and Lincoln. In the latter citv
John EL Evans is doing- good work
in talking- up the fair.
Several dry land farmers have
told the writer that they are care
fully nursing- along different kinds
of crops with a new of making ex
hibits at the fair, and they say that
if all goes well they wiH be able to
make a display that wSi make irri
gated products look pale and dwarfish-
There is likely to be quite a
friendly competition between the
dry land producers and the irriga
tionists, and this rivalry wiH re
sult in an unusually full exhibit.
The dry land producer should re
member that space wiH. be. -freely
The committee appointed by the
local grand army post, and to which
has been assigned the preliminary
work of the reunion to be held dur
ing the fair, will hold its first meet
in2" to-morrow evenins". This re-
union will be one of the special
features of the fair, and will draw
a large crowd of old soldiers from
all Darts or the -state. L ne com-
mittee at its meeting to-morrow
wiE formulate a general outline of
the work-necessarv for a successful
reunion.
Grand Lecturer YanDyke, of the
Ancient Order of United Workmen,
who was in this city last Monday,
took very kindly to the scheme of
having an A. O. U- W. Day during
the fair,- and intimated that he
would do all he could toward mak
ing the. day one of crimson hue.
Mr. YanDyke thought it would
serve to materially increase the at
tendance at the fair and prove a
rrnnr? mnw -fnr 1-tf nrdfT- An pirnrf
will be made to have Grand Master
Workman Tate present on that
dav.
The work ot the woman's depart
ment of the fair is progressing
nicelv, and the enthusiasm dis
played by the ladies is certainly to
be commended. An order for the
stone for the palace of art which
wiH be 23x56 with 12 foot waHs
has been placed with Swan Starken
the Lodge Pote sculptor. Mr.
Starken was in town yesterday arranging-details
for the work. The
Dstpne, wfll be taken from the Lodge
1?6le quarry and wiH be dressed
at thequarry readv for the build-
ins,
thereby saving freight.
There is some talk that the city
of Cheyenne wiH erect a building
on the fair grounds in which to dis
play the agricultural and mineral
products of Wyoming. The state
bordering us on the west is push
ing" forward irrigation enterprises
with great rapidity, and wiH soon
take its place alongside of Colorado
and Nebraska in this respect. If
the Cheyenne people conclude to
put up a building they will make a
Jyery large exhibit? Jf T the building
is not erected they wiH ask for a
Hberal space in the main exhibition
haH.

HOW HE, SINGLE HANDED, KILLED
SIX OF A PARTY OF SEVEN SIOUX.

From, boyhood days Lieutenant Creeds
had been noted as a hunter, and during
the years which, he spent in the scouring
service his splendid -mfvrtrrm;nsMp and
extraordinary- achievements in the pur
suit of game earned for him the reputa
tion of being the f -st hunter west of the
Missouri riven.
One day at sunset lieutenant Greece
rode out from OgalaHa, where the scouts
were stationed, grxarding- the builders of
the Union Pacific railway-. Creede was,
and is yet, for that matter, a famous
riSe shot, quick, cool and sure, and upon
this occasion his skill came in good play,
as it did in later years when he foughs
two rrizzlies single handed in the pres
ence of two witnesses.
It was customary for some one to take
alook about at the close of day to see if
any stray Sioux were prowling around.
About six miles from camp Creede came
to a clump of trees covering a half dosen
acres of ground. Through thfs grove
the scout rode, frhfnH-rg perhaps an elk
or deer might be seen; but nothing
worth, shooting was sighted, till sud
denly he found frimcpT-f at the farther
edge of the wood and on the banks of
the Platte. Looking across the stream,
he saw a email band of hostile Sioux
riding in the direction of the river, and
not more than a mile away. Ffv fieM
glasses showed him that there were
seven of the Sioux, and without the aid
of that instrument he could see that
they had a maiorisy of six over his
party.
nmS? j
arrecnon or tne camp.
that they intended to cross over, frfVT the
guards and capture the government
horses. His first thought was to ride
back to camp, keeping the clump of
trees between him and the Indians, and
arrange a reception for the Siaux.
The river was half a mile wide and
three feet deep. Horses can't travel very
rapidly in three feet of water.
In a short time they had reached the
water's edge, and the scout could herdly
resist the temptation to await their ap
proach, dash out, take a shot at them
and then return to camp. That was
dangerous, he thought, forif he got one
there would Etfll be half a dozen buHes
to dodge. A better plan would be to
leave his horse in the grove, crawl out
to the bank, He concealed in the grass
until the enemy was within 60 yards of
him, then stand up and work his Win
chester:' The first shoir would surprise
them. They would look at their falling
friend; the Eecond would show them
where he was, and the third shot would
leave but four Indians. By the time
they swung their rifles up another would,
have passed to the happy land, and one
man on shore, with his ride working,
was as good as three frightened Indians
in the river.
Thus reasoned the scout and he crept
to the shore of the stream. He had no
time to lose, as the Indian posies had
fmianed drinking- and were already on
the move.
As the sound of the siTtki-Rg feet of
the horses grew louder the hunter was
obliged to own a feeling of regret. If
he could have got back to his own horse
without their seeing him, he thought it
would be as weH to return to camp and
receive the visitors there. Just once he
lifted his head above the grass, and then
he saw how useless it would be to at
tempt to flee, for the Indians were bus
a Httle more than 100 yards away.
EeaEzing that he was infer- it, he made
up his mind to remain in the grass until
the Sioux were so near that it would be
impossible to miss them. Nearer and
nearer sounded the plunkety plank of
the unshod feet of the little horses in
the shallow stream tiH at last they
seemed to be in short rifle range, and
the trained hunter sprang to his feet.
He had reckoned weH, for the Indians
were not over 60 yards away, riding
tandem.
Creede 's rifle echoed ia the Htde
grove; the lead leaped our, and the head
Indian pitched forward into the river.
The riderless horse .stopoed short. The
rifle cracked again, and the second red
mrt rolled slowly from the saddle, so
slowly that he barely got out of the way
in time to permit the next brave, who
was almost directly behind him, to get
killed when it was his turn. The re
maining four Indians, instead of return
ing the fire, sat stfll and stoneHke. So
terrified were they that they never raised
a hand. Two more seconds ; two more
shots from she rifle of the scout, and
two more TnrKiT; went down, head
first, into the stream. Panic stricken,
the other two dropped into the river and
beaan to swim down the stream with
aH their might. They kept an eye on
the scout, and at the flash of his gun j
they ducked their heads, aad the ball
bounded away over the still water. Soon
they were beyond the reach of toe rifie.
Eeturning to their own side of the river,
they crept away in the twilight, and fee
ever sad and thoughtful scour steed by
the silent stream, watching the Hale
red pools of bleed on the broad bosom
of the slowly running river.
Three of the abandoned bronchos
turned bock. Four crossed over asd were
taken to camp. j
The two sad and loneJy Sioux had j
gone but a short distance from the river
when one of them fell fainting and soon
bled to death. He had been wounded by
a bullet which had passed through one
of his ccmoanions who waskiHed in the
stream. The Tp-mm'm-ng-TTim-rtn was aft
erward captured in battle, and he told
tfiig story to his captors, just as it was
told to the writer by the man who risked
his Efe so fearlessly in tbe service of
