Ing at ! l o'clock , while ho was ab
sent and the bicycle was leaning
against the telegraph office , a thief
catuo along and took the machine.
When Earl came back It was gone
and no trace has boon found of it
since. It only m'akes the matter
worse , and the theft more contempt
ible , when It Is known that 13arl , who
Is a lad of but a bit over a dozen
summers , had worked hard and
earned ovary single penny that wont
to buy his bicycle. Ho had put In
many days faithfully and well to
save enough dollars to make the pur

Ho kept it looking well and this , no
doubt , appealed to the eye of the
thief. Ho needs It every hour and It
Is pretty tough luck.

It Was the Biggest Success in
History.
THE VISITORS LIKED NORFOLK
All of the Firemen Agree That Noth
ing Like it Has Ever Been Held in
Nebraska Before Stanton Cnme
En Masse Yesterday.
"The tournament was the biggest
success In every way that the firemen
of Nebraska have ever held. It was
a success BO far as finance was con
cerned , and that Is saying much ; It
was a success so far as the weather
went , and that was extreme good
fortune ; it was n success In the rac
ing from start to finish , every event
moving off smoothly ; the crowds
were Immense and the best of It all
la that the boys are going home well
pleased with their treatment. "
In that way did Mr. McNee , who
acted ns chairman of the board of
control during the first two days , and
who has been at every meet for
years , sum up the trio of days just
passed In Norfolk. And in just that
spirit nearly every fireman who left
Norfolk today , expressed himself.
The visitors were universally de
lighted with the treatment that they
received at the hands of the people
of the city and of the executive com
mittee In general. Every detail for
the meeting was arranged beforehand
to a nicety , not a hitch occurred
throughout and the laddies from all
over the state went away In good
humor.
Merchants who sell goods that ap
peal to that sort of a crowd , report
excellent business throughout. It was
an advertisement for the city whose
effect will last for years. Norfolk
people wore cordial in their reception
of the strangers and the guests were
equally hearty in their praises for
Norfolk , after the event was over.
The crowds In attendance were
unnrlv ttvton no Inrr'n n nnv Hint.
hnvo over before assembled for a
tournament of the kind. There was
no trouble at the grounds and no bit
ter feeling between teams of the
various places. They were all good
teams and the track was the best
that the runners hnvo over stepped
upon. Records were smashed all to
pieces and good time prevailed in all
events. It is said that the splendid
run made by the Stanton boys in
tholr championship running of yes
terday , when tholr whole town was
so much delighted and rightfully
beats the national record. Stanton
came up on masse to watch her run
ners win , and they were first-class
throughout. They took away more
championship bolts than have over
boon taken by one team before , and
the 600 supporters who came up had
a right to feel proud of the team
which was organized but three years
ago and which yesterday snatched
the bolt from permanent ownership
by Fremont's fleet footed team.
It was a strenuous life for three
days seldom aeon and there are tired
thousands resting up today.
The members are : C. E. Hartford ,
chairman ; S. R.McFarlandsecretary ;
H. W. Wlnter.treasurer ; W. L. Kern ,
R. H. Reynolds , M. O. Burnett , H. A.
Pasowalk , M. J. Romig , Venus No-
now and E. R. Hayes.
The convention of firemen will beheld
hold next winter in Fremont. The
Knights of St.Eeb Rages wore badges
which said "Wo invlto the Royal
Tigers of Norfolk to Fremont in
January. "
Close of Yesterday's Races.
The two final feats of yesterday's
tournament were the championship
ladder climbing contest , won by A.
F. Folsch , of Stanton , time 4 4-5 ;
Burger was second and Kruegcr third ,
N
both of Grand Island.
Uued and Stafford , of York , won
the coupling contest , time 4 3-5.

Financially.
Officers of the department arc feelIng -
Ing quite well satisfied today over
the financial outcome of the tourna
ment. All bills are not yet settled
but they believe they will have funds
enough to meet all premiums and
have a little left to go Into the de
partment treasury. They desire par
ticularly to thank the business men
of Norfolk for their contributions and
assistance toward making the event
a success. As a whole the business
houses contributed liberally , but the
officers believe that they have a
slight grievance at the treatment re
ceived from a few. The one who
stands out most prominent In this re
spect is the proprietor of the Pacific
hotel , whoso house was filled to over
flowing by visiting firemen during
the full three days of the tournament ,
but who refused to contribute one
cent toward defraying the expense of
the mooting , and to make the matter
still more aggravating charged full
$2.00 a day for the state queen and
maids , who were guests of the local
department , whereas he made a re
duced rate to outsiders. The firemen
ctf > tfi Mint ATvfnfrfe vrnmatmllv"
hlllbll ; llltll i'll . ItlllLO i UJJJULJlll J
promised to do something for them
In the way of a contribution but
never named an amount and this
morning made bis promise good by
charging them more for the same
service than he did outsiders.
