We Save You Money BROKEN BOW RACES A SUCCESS! Loup City Visitors to Broken Bow Much Pleased With the Races Held During Fair. Some three weeks ago Charles S. ! Martin of Broken Bow, president "bf j the Custer County Agricultral society, j a. oompaniod by a number of the other officers of the society made our city a visit for the purpose of advertising the fair and races to he held Septem ber 14, 15, lti and 17. Their visi re sulted in a delegation of Loup City ooys making the trip by auto and taking if all in. They report to us that the fait *as certainly an excellent one. Ev ery department was filled to the brin with tne fat of the land, and everj body enthusiastic and congenial. Vari ous persons who should be considered good judges of the sine of such larg. gatherings estimated that at leas ten thousand people were in attend anee on the brightest days. It is so dom that one sees so many high clas attractions at a county fair. The very best of good nature abounded e\ ery minute of the time. President Martin and the board of managers had arranged a racing card for each afternoon which has never before been equalled in this part of Nebraska. Therj! were trotting races and running races galore. Eighteen hundred dollars had been hung up for the gallopers alone. Every dol lar of this sum was paid out to the winning horses, and let it bo under stood that each event was well lilied by the high class horses. Custer county has always been the home of just as good runners and trotters as can be found anywhere. These were supplemented by horses from all parts of the state. William Plourd of Indianola, Nebr., who has the strongest stable of running horses in the state, was there with that well known picture of spirit and speed, “Indianola,” and the “Bride of the Wind,” "Voltrome,” to fight for the crimson and blue colors of that fam ous stable. Among the speed ghosts which so well extended themselves on those three bright afternoons were the brow'n beauty, “Alice Claxton,” brought by her noted horse ow’ner, J. H. Howe, from Creston, Iowa. The satin-sided red bay streak, “Personality,” from the Pitman stable of Sharpsburg, and that sorrel won der, ••Merryfield,” with his genial owner, E. T. Pliilpot of Lennox, both of these last from Iowa. But if you “want to be shown, go to Missouri.” And right here you may learn that Missouri was at Broken Bow with the goods. The B. W. Creech stable from Hopkins, Mo., was to the front with the great mare, "Lassie Dear,” and with “Bon Ton.” The latter fought for tlie colors of his state and stable from the beginning to the end of every race in which he was entered, and whenever the steel touched his throbbing sides, he sprang for finish like an arrow' shot from a bow, and in every instance he returned as a proud conqueror back to his quarters on the grounds. "Scissors Grindur,” from out in tlie west, was among the flyers; the brown gelding, “Way-Mark,” belong ing to John Kindle at Lake Andes, S. U., had come all the long way to be in the thickest of the fight, and they filled every expectation. Running races have rightly been called the "Sport of Kings,” and the game showed itself to be worthy of the title at the “Bow.” We have said that every dolar was paid ou': for speed, and speed it wras to a cer tainty. Every race was a battle from start to finish, and sometimes tne unquenchable spirit of the mount was imparted to the young riders, and the whizzing lash fell on the thinly cov ered shoulders of some boy rider whose anxiety to win got the better of judgment, as he crowded too near to a dangerous rival. But President Martin was continually on the watch to see that no unjust hardship was meted out, even to him who had erred. And the generous and able judges, under the direction of that oldtimer, “Jim Decker,” as presiding judge, saw in it but the honest spirit of rivalry, and that each boy was not fighting for his own rights, but for the success of his fleet, beautiful horses. FREE LAND TO HOMESTEADERS 150,000 Acres of Desirable Land To Be Given Away. The government is getting ready to make another great gift of land to homesteaders and commencing Sep tember 25th it will allot to applicants free homesteads in either 160 or 320 acre tracts. These lands are located in Southeastern Wyoming adjoining the government’s North Platte Irriga tion project. The usual twenty-one month’s residence gives a title to these lands which will make an ideal dairy and stock farming proposition. These are buffalo and gramma grass lands that have been withheld by the government from entry until date, although thousands of acres of home stead lands have been taken up and settled in the regions beyond so that these lands of today are right in the midst of a well settled territory with cities like Scottsbluff and Cheyenne more or less adjacent. This is not a drawing. Intending homesteaders should be at Torrington, Lingle or Guernsey, Wyo., on the Burlington’s North Platte Valley line in time to “spot” out a claim before 9 a. m., September 25th, probably joining automobile parties which will be formed to go out and take posession. The Burlington local agent has in his office information regarding these lands and what to do to secure them. “THE PERILS OF PAULINE.” “The Perils of Pauline” is played by the greatest stars in the moving picture world.
