ATM 'Oiirc it He Jflorth TIIIRTY-SEVENTII YEAR. NORTH PLA1TET NEB., JULY 1, 1921. No. 50 3Hlwtu ABOUT PEOPLE AND THINGS GUItltENT COMMENT ABOUT PEO ME AND THE THINGS THEY ARE DOING HERE. Encouraging roports nro coming in from tho farmers regarding their part in tho parado for tho Fourth. They are promising teams, riding horse's and decorated automobiles. Tho prizes offorod malco it worth while to take a littlo timo and maqe a littlo ofTort to win tho money. A wiro was received yostorday from Loo Rico of Ardmoro, Oklahoma, say ing that ho will bo hero with a car that has been built to tako away tho big money in tho auto races Monday. Ilico is one of the most daring follows on tho track and if tho car will stay by him ho will show such speed as has not been seen before on this trade Wh.cn eighty feet of tho Suther land bridgo went out about two weoka ago, it loft tho western part of the County in bad shapo. Commissioner Coker was on tho job though and1 ho 'started things. Ho got some piling from ono placo, somo planks from an othor, a stato pilo driver was loaded -on tho train and taken to Sutherland arid men Wero securol Tho pilo driver was moved down to tho river. A pilo was floated down tho river, tho crane picked it up, put It In placo, tho pilo driver settled it into tho river. The procoss was repeated, somo planks woro put in place, tho tractor pile drivor movc(:$ forward and tho Suth erland bridgo was opened for traffic last Monday morning. It waB a fortun ate pleco of business all around but Commissioner Coker was responsible for tho whole thing. They aro bound to have ,a bridge on tho Fourth of July. When tho spans of the' South rivor bridgo-wentout; tho Commissioners and the Stato Aid men wont to work on a plan to build a temporary structure alongside the repair work to bo done. Tho machin ery is in placo and piles are being driven but when it was soen that thoy would hardley havo tlmo to get this bridge completed by tho Fourth, tho Highway commissioner and other offi cials got to work with tho Chamber of Commerce men and decided to puti a toniporary structure across from j tho bridgo to tho fill and so span the, chasm, work began on this part of the bridgo this morning and we are as sured that it will bo completed by Saturday night. We havo before us a copy of the Eastlelgh Weekly News published in England. It contains an account of tho death of Abraham Barra clough, brother of Fred Banv. clough of this city. Wo quote -as follows: Mr. Barraclough, who was 70 years of age, was held in 'groat esteem by n largo number of friends. Ho had hold tho position or foreman in tho iron foundry of the L. and S. W. It. R. locomotlvo ddpart mont for 45 years. Ills judicious tempermont anil gontlo disposition woro characteristics that endeared him to all who wero privileged to act with him as colleagues. Ho holdlho position of chairman of tho locomo tlvo shop's' Foreman's association in Eastlolgh and at tho inauguration of a branch of tho National Foreman's Association at Eastlolgh ho was tho first chairman and retained the place until two years ago whon bo had to relinquish It owing to ooor health. Upwards of 80 of tho mon employed in tho iron foundry followed tholr old foroman on his last journey and four of his old colleagues roverontly lowered tho old leador to his final resting placo." Somo ugly rumors have been com Ing out of Lexington with no ono ap parently on whom to fix tho respon sibility. Somo of tho supporters of tho Lexington racos on tho Fourth, havo spread tho roport that there woro only two entries in tho North Platte racos, that Rhiley had cancelled IiIb entry at North Platto anjl would race at Loxlngton and othor stuff of a sim ilar naturo. Somo peoplo may bo fool ed by It but It is probablo that It will not bo swallowed by many people without Bomo questioning. A wlro last night assured tho manager that Rhiley will bo hero on tho Fourth, prepared to tako tho honors of tho big races. Manager Romlgh said last night that ho had fourteen entries an)l that as far as, ho could find out ovory ono of thm would bo on hand Monday. The reports arc supposed to havo' been started by somo enthusiasts for tho races at Loxlngton with tho hope that it would advance tho inr terest in tho races lliero. However, there Is yet tlmo to correct all mis-, statements and allow everyone to) chose where" ho will celebrate. 1 :o:- THE LEGION CARNIVAL WILL OPEN TOMORROW EVENING ON SOUTHj LOCUST.
