The lovers of the National game
will be pleased to learn that Henry
Jenner contemplates making a base
ball park just to the south of the
pavilion, putting in good substantial
buildings and making it up-tc-date
in ail respects. He has plans for
a good sized ampitheatre and grand
stand and if he undertakes the

City will have a ball park second to
none in the central part of the state.
Jenner does things that way.

The section men all along the IT. P.
from North Platte east as far as
Grand Island, and up the < >rd and
Loup City branches struck last
Thursday for higher wages. The
men have been receiving only the
paltry sum of $1.35 per day and to
support a family on that is simply
impossible and live as one should.
It is a pity the section men do not
have such* an organization as have
the engineers, firemen and other rail
road employes and could force the
road to give them a decent financial
return for their work.
Last Thursday night, about mid
night, C. T. Keynon. Jr., a young
! man of about 22 years of age. living
at Keynon Siding, about half way
between Boelus and Dannebrog, com
mitted suicide by drinking carbolic
acid. He was the son of C. T. Ken
yon, a wealthy farmer of Howard
county, and a nephew of L. W. ('alien
of Washington township, of Mrs. E.
H. Kittell of Rockville township and
of Mrs. M. II. Mead of Fallon, Nevada
Ill-health and disappointment in a
love affair are given as the reason
for the rash act. Mr. Callen was
called to attend the funeral, which
was held the following day, stopping
off in Loup City for a few hours on
his return.
Loup City is putting up good ball
this season. The boys are winning
much favorable comment over the
way they do neat work. At Austin
last Saturday the Loup City kids
went up against the Wiggle Creekers
and it took them eleven innings to
show the Loup City boys how it was
done and then the score stood 1 to o,
our home boys holding the Wiggle
Creekers down to goose eggs for ten
straight innings. On Monday here
In Loup City the home team gave
Arcadia one st ore in ' nine innings,
pocketing seven themselves. In fact,
the home nine is putting up a tine
quality of work and with a little en
couragement from us all would eat
up anything in sight.
The many friends of Myron Gilbert
here will regret to learn that on the
27th of last month he met with a
severe accident resulting in breaking
one of his legs just above the ankle
and pulling the tendons and liga
ments loose from the ankle. From
letters received by Grandma Gilbert,
it seems that while Myron was walk
ing into Ewing, on the Northwestern
road, and when about a mile and a
half from town he became ill and
lost consciousness and when he re
covered was lying by the side of the
track injured as above. Itis thought
he fell unconscious on the track or
so near it that he was struck by a
passing train cansing the accident.
However, he was unable to give any
account of what happened save that
given above. It is to be sincerely
trusted Mr. Gilbert will speedily
recover.
Monday was a big day in Loup City
on tlie occasion of tlie celebration of
tiie glorious Fourth at .ienner’s I’ark.
Notwithstanding the fact that big
rains had come the day preceding,
and the further fact, that tlie day
opened dark and forbidding and con
tinued so all day, with mist and
occasional sprinkles of rain, the day
was celebrated here with unprecedent
ed crowds and all seemed to enjoy the
day as much as if it had been sun
shiny and pleasant. The train from
Sargent, Comstock and Arcadia was
crowded to tlie guards, while every
conceivable vehicle that could be o',
tallied in tlie latter piace was lining! ;
into requisition to bring the crowd
. to Loup City. It was estimated tlui'
'over .100 were present from A read i
alone, while some84 tickets were s. u
at Sargent for Loup City, ami Com
stock also sent a goodly delegat'd ,
while from all over the county wen
large delegations. A t .lemu r's Pari ,
w.iere the celebration proper took
place, was tlie Mecca for all. Ti e
park was in beautiful shape, its well
kept and shady greenswards being
clean, cozy and inviting, and even
thing done to make it a joy to those
in attendance. The program of the
day was carried, out nicely and fully
; till the evening's heavy rains came,
which put a quietus on further
events. Had it not been for that.
: the evening at the park, with tlie
line display of fireworks prepared,
, would have rounded out a day and
; night more enjoyable and with great
er crowds present than ever seen
j there before. The most exciting and
I interesting event of tlie day was the
basket hall game between the girls
I of our high school and the young
ladies of the alumni, the score being
215 to 7 in favor of the former. It
was oneoi tne most, interestinggames
of basket, ball witnessed in our city
and the friends of both teams vied
; with each other in encouragement to
' their favorites. In the pulling con
| test between horse and men, the
latter won easily, but the weight of
the men. 400 pounds over that of the
animal, made the contest too unequal.
The Arcadia Cornet Hand furnished
the music of the day and in a word
did well. For the lovers of the dance
the pavilion was a most pleasant
attraction and from 3 o’clock in the
afternoon till 2:.!0 in the morning, in
spite of the heavy rains, presented a
lively appearance and the hundreds
of young people w ho tripped the light
fantastic there gave evidence of a
most enjoyable time. All in all,
Monday’s celebration at Jenner’s
Park was all that could be asked and
reflected much credit on the Jenner
brothers and their most beautiful
park in central Nebraska.
