S. R. tfLORANCE.-City Treasurer
The Decree of Honor met TucmIik
evening and a leport fiom the district
association which was held at lleh.
dvto was given by Miss Hazel Lippin
oott. All ptesent had on enjoyable
evening.
A shooting scrape taken place tieai
Lebanon, Kansas on Tuesday morning
in which one man lost his life. The
alfairs, as near as we arc able to leain
was caused by a inls-undor.standlng iu
regards to the ownership of stock.
Mrs. Idly Etherton, wife of Jim
Etherton, died early Wednesday morn
ing at the home of her mother, Mrs.
Lavisa Pegg, In the north part ol
town. She was a young woman, being
only '."J years I) months and (i daya old,
aud leaves two small children besides
her husband mother, father, r brothers
nod 4 sisters. She was born and
ral-ed In this county, and being sick
only a short time, her death came as
u gieat shock to her many friend.
Red Cloud's regular weekly llstle ex
hibition took place on Tuesday night.
A temporary ring was made Iu the
neighborhood of Webster street and
Fouitli Avenue. I'nfortuuately the
fight had not been previously adver
tised, hence did not attract as large a
crowd as such a well given exhibition,
between two such popular young men
would have did The light went sever
al i minds, real red blood was In evi
dence, and all in all it was great dr
lugs for lovers of this said sport. We
suggest that If these shows are to be
pulled off at such regular Intervals
that a real ring be established with
raised seats, etc., and that a small ad
mission be charged. They are well
worth the money.
Webster street has been the scene of
great activity the past few days. In
fact, so much so, as to almost hinder
street car traffic. Any number of new
lights have been strung at regular in
tervals, a band stand has been erect
ed at the intersection of Webster Street
ami Fourth Avenue, a stand for the
trick bicycle riding aud acrobatic
stunts has been built right at our very
door, and numerous tents and stands
are going up tho entire length of the
"main stem." Yes, and the merry-go-
round is here also, and is being rapid
ly put together on Fourth Avenue,
near the Saunders Bros., lumber yard.
It surely does look to us like a big
day tomorrow, as well as "a big night
tomorrow night."
