The boosters arrived from the west by special trair and were met at the Northwestern station by citizens in automobiles Preceded by Reed’s band, the boosters marched up the main stree! to the intersection of Fourth anc Douglas streets, *Svhere they were tendered the keys and hospitality oi the city by Mayor C. M. Daly, aftei which Judge J. J. Harrington de livered the address of welcome. The Judge in his remarks referred to the rich territory of north and central Ne braska tributary to Sioux City and the great enhancement of value to result with the extension of the Bur lington railroad from O’Neill south west^ to the Burlington main line at or near Thedford. He urged the Sioux City men to use all legitimate means in assisting to bring about the extension. Chairman T. A. Black of the boosters’ excursion replied to the addresses of Mayor Daly and Judge Harrington, explaining that the purpose of the business was entirely one of goodfellowship and to give the Sioux City men and their customers in this territory opportunity of a personal acquaintance. A band con cert by the military band followed, while the members of the excursion were visiting their customers and other business firms in their several I lines, and a riot nearly resulted when “Big Bill” Mack, the Chamber of Com mers “Candy Man” began throwing candy to the hundreds of kids gather ed around the band. Both schools recessed during the presence of the boosters in town- and as a result O’Neill’s youthful population was 1U0 per cent present at the candy shower. Every kid in the mad scramble either got his ear stepped on or got some I candy and many both. On the ex : hausting of the candy supply mem j bers of the party showered the kids I with pennies and “a good time was ■ had by all.” The boosters’ special left Sioux City Sunday, coming out over the Omaha road to Norfolk and then running to Crawford Sunday night from which place it started on its return trip east, stopping at practically all of the towns along the line for short visits, j From O’Neill it returned to Norfolk and Wednesday morning started up the Bonesteel line, on which a couple of days will be spent.
