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
