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

while the author, Mr. Charles God
dard, well-known throughout the the
atrical circles as the author of star
plays, insures the action and the in
teresting story. You will miss one

tures if you do not see “The Perils
