Ju.-npv .,-- . boqp The Firemen's Convention. The thirty-first annual convention of tho Nebraska Voluntoor Firemen's Association, which had bcon in session threo days in our city, closed last even ing with a banquot at the Masonic hall. Tho total number of delegates register ing was 340, and from several of tho visitors wo learned that tho convention as to attendance and the itnportanco of tho business transacted, was ono of the boat ever held. These 340 delegates came from nearly one hundred towns of tho stato, nnd wcra a fine body of men representing all classes of life pursuits them wore present lawyers, editors, physicians, merchants, mechanics, clerks and la-, bsrers; stalwart young men, middlo aged men, and men whose gray hair and infirm step betokened years of ser vice in tho work of fighting tho lira fiend. Taken as a whole they formed a representative gathering of ths sturdy citizenship of Nebraska; the class of men who have assisted in making Ne braska a great stato dotted thickly with progressive cities and towns. Not only were they sturdy men, but they were of a generous, jovial disposition; they wcro men who sea the sunny sido of life, who enjoy thcmsolves as good citizens should. To their credit let it bo said that there was not one instance wherein they did not confine their ac tions within the limits of law-abiding citizens. A number of the delegates with whom The Tribuno man formed ac quaintance, camo to him and volun teered the statement that of tho many conventions held there werenono whero tho delegates as individuals were better satisfied. Accomomdations for sleeping and eating were adequate, tho enter taining features were generous, every citizen acted as though he was really glad to meet tho delagates and took pleasuro in helping entertain them. From the many complimentary remarks heard we believo that North Platto as tho host city, performed tho part well. The initial sessesionof the convention was held nt the Keith theatre and was presided ovor by James Keefo, of this city as temporary chairman, to which position he had been assigned-by Presi-' dent Boyle. Owing the illness of Mayor Patterson, City Attorney Halligan made the address of welcome, to which reply was made by J. C. Cleland, of Fremont, An acceptable featuro of tho evening were selections by the girls' gloo club of tho high school. A committee on cre dentials was appointed and then an ad journment was taken to tho Lloyd opera house where nn informal reception was held. Here about 300 delegates and a number of local firemen exchanged greeting and wero served with a dutch lunch. This affair lasted until midnight. The sessions of tho convention Wed nesday and yesterday were attended by practically the full representation of dolegates, evidence that tho visitors were nothero merely for a "good timo." At these sessions there were discussed many questions portaining to the better ment of volunteer departments, to tho need of legislative measures of differ ent kinds, the occupation tax of insur ance companies, and many other matterR of importance to the firo departments of the stute. Having under their pro tection millions upon millions of prop erty, the departments, through tho state association, behove, and rightfully so, that they are entitled to tho hearty co-operation of the general public and by tho legislative bodies that represent tho people. Hence tho stato legislature and councils of the cities should not be slow to recognize tho reasonable re quests of the firemen. Tho election of officers of tho associa tion for the ensuing year was held yos terday afternoon, and resulted as follows: President, W. S. Rigell, of Fremont. First vice-president, George Howell, Fremont. Second vice-president, Harry GrafF, Seward. Secretary, E. A. Millor, Kearnoy. Columbus was selected as the placo holding tho convention in 1914, and Alliance secured the tournament for 1913. At the banquet last evening nt the Masonic hall, the menu for which waa served by tho ladies of the Lutheran church, plates were laid for 350, which of course meant crowded" conditions; not only the dining room "but tho recep tion room nnd hallway being sot with tables. Following the excellent moal, with Judgo Grimes cs toaa:mastcr, several toasts were proposed and respon ded to, Colonel Cody making tho princi pal talk in which he recounted some tales of the early days, told of the trans-Miaiouri country and predicted a brilliant futuro for the city between the rivers. Ono of the pleasant features of tho evening waa the prcsantation of a gold headed cano to Mr. Boyco, tho ' retiring president of tho association. This gift was by popular subscription from mombers ottho association, nearly ! every member present donnting his mite. The Hart orchestra furnished, music for tho evening. Big Crowd Attend Exhibition. The sparring exhibition, (which is a polite name for a prize fight) at the Lloyd opera houso last night attracted a crowd that packed tho big hall and gallery as tight as sardines; the number did not fall short of 800, and moro than fifty per cent of these wore out-of-town men. Two preliminaries preccdod tho main ovont, the first of which was a six round go between Kid Lnnge of Denver, and Tojrmy Smith of South Omaha. In tho third round Smith had Lange groggy, but tho latter showed wonderful recup erative power, and in the Inst thrco rounds showed up strong nnd honors wero oven. Tho second preliminary was a three-round go between West burg and Brown, both of this city, in which tha latter seemed to havo a shade tho bettor of tho engagement. Then camo tho main event, a fifteen round go between McCarthy of Ravenna and Hargis of Lexington, but tho latter was out classed and wont down and out Jn the fifth round. The first round of tins fight demonstrated McCarthy's su periority in science as well as hard hit ting. He floored his opponent in the second, third and fourth rounds, Hargis each tima taking nlmost tho full count to get on his foet. In the fifth Hargis came up wobbly and McCarthy had little trouble in putting him down nnd out. Tho bigWowd seemed satisfied with the amusjment thoy received for their money. s Gets $300. G. W. Whltcomb and family roceived $300 as part pay and damages from Montgomery & Ward last week for tho serious timo they had wherein tho wholo family waa poisoned by eating pickled pigs feet ordered from that firm. It seems the adjuster had made two trips here and both wero on Sundays, Ho s.'jcurcd.ift recciptfor the wholo amount, $500, from the family ns a complete settlement of the case, upon a promise that the $200 balance would bo forth coming immediately upon, his return to Kansas City. This contract was signed up on Sunday. Tho $200 draft was to havo been horo yester day and Mr. Whitcomb is of tho opin ion that ho has been let down on tho $200. His original intentions were to havo sued the firm for $5,000 but members of the family wished for an immediate settlement and the above coursa was taken. Later Mr. Whitcomb informed us today that he had juBt received a draft for tho $200. Wo are of tho opiniqn that a much better settlement could havo beon made had tho rights not been signed away bo roadily, ns thoy wero justly entitled to a larger sum. Hor shey Times. Tho Garlow car was dnmuged at 1 o'clock this morning by firo. Mr. Gar- low and Col. Cody wero returning to tho Cody ranch after spending the day in town. Thoy were pnssing tho North Platte comotery whon something broke on the car which prevented their prog gress. In attempting to fix tho broken part Mr. Garlow struck n match and in an instant the car had caught firo and was beyond their control. Tho fire alarm was sent in and brought aid and tho flames wero oxtinguishad but not before the car was damaged to tho extent of sevoral hundred dollars. Tho loss was completely covered by ono of C. F. Temple's Auto Policies. The CRYSTAL To -Night and Saturday. PICTURES A Queen of a Day. Young Millionaire. The Lights That Failed. VAUDEVILLE.
