Rorence Stages : '
Biff Celebration :
Despite the Eain
After the morning's rain had Ceased
Florence staired one of the greatest
celebrations in the history of the
town. The rain interfered "with the
morning's program, and while there
was a large crowd upon the streets,
aside from the continuous popping of
firecrackers there was not much else
that was suggestive of the Fourth of
ly for a few hours.
The Eagles had. arranged a week
carnival lor Florence ana tne res-
ties were to have opened yester-
y morning. ror two diocks on
ther side Mam street was lined with
joths, where good things to eat and
irink were sold. Numerous carnival
shows were to have opened, but when
the rain came along the booths were
closed and the doors of the shows
were out un until the sun came out.
During the early morning members
of the executive committee of the
Eagles and the citizens held a meet
ing, took a look at the sky, and then
called oil the carnival tor tne morn'
ine.
In connection with the carnival, the
Eagles and the Florence citizens held
an excellent program of races and ath
letic sports in the little park at the
south end of Main street, and a ball
game in the city park.
Florence people had anticipated an
attendance of something like 10,000
visitors. Eagles and their friends from
Omaha and South Omaha, Council
Bluffs, Blair, Fremont and the coun
trv-side were present in large nunr
bers and, in addition to these, large
delegations of people from Omaha,
neighboring towns and the country
were on hand to take part in the cele
bration.
Jack Dillon Knocks Out
Jim Flynn in Fourth
Dewev. Ok!.. Tulv 5. lack Dillon
of Indianapolis knocked out Jim
Flynn, Pueblo fireman, in the fourth
round of their scheduled fifteen-round
bout here today.
A left hook to the iaw followed bv
a hard right cross sent Dillon's op
ponent to tne tloor for the final count.
The first two rounds were even, while
Flynn led in the third. In the fourth
the fireman went to the canvas twice
l,for a count of eight before Dillon
t sent home the blows that won the
fight.
Gets Razor in Operation
Before Enemy Draws Gun
Everett Watts and Julius Campbell,
both colored, and enemies, met yes
terday afternoon at Twenty-fourth
and Lake. Watts reached for a gun.
Campbell said afterward, so he just
naturally slid out his razor and went
to operating. He is in jail and Watts
is recovering. .

OMAHA OBSERVES
FOURTH SAFELY
Not a Person Killed and Only
Minimum of Accidents Result
From Celebration. ,
BLAST HURTS A DOZEN
Omaha passed through the safest
and sanest Fourth of July celebration
of a decade, Tuesday. In spite of
a steady cannonading all day long,
and the tremendous sale of fireworks
and small explosives, not one single
death resulted, and only a minimum
of accidents.
At Kountze park, where the neigh
bors gathered to set off their fire
works, twelve persons were hurt
when a giant bomb exploded pre
maturely. Of these, four were ser
iously, but not dangerously injured.
They are: Earl Fitch, aged 6, of
3716 North Twentieth; Ralph Dix,
21, of Sprague hotel; George Flana
gan, aged 10, of 41 19 North Twenty-fourth-
and Ruth Wintroub, 8 of 3902
North Nineteenth.
Burned or Torn Slightly.
The others were burned or torn
.slightly by flying fire or wadding, but
not seriously enough to reauire medi
cal attention. The seriously injured
were taken to the Swedish Mission
hospital.
When the bomb exploded hundreds
of persons were looking on and
many had narrow escapes.
Miss Lucy Miller, 1435 North Nine
teenth, was riding on a street car
at Fourteenth and Howard streets
when someone threw a giant cracker
through the window. It exploded in
her face, burning her quite seriously.
She was taken home.
That the Fourth-of-JuIv casualty
list shows up so much better than
in former years is due to the anti-
t-ourth police rule, the authorities
say.
Effect of Ordinance.
A city ordinance regulated the size
of all explosives and prohibited the
the sale of raw powder, and this es
pecially is regarded as one of the
chief elements making for a safe and
sane celebration.
Mayor Dahlman's oroclamation and
the appeal of Police Superintendent
Kugel to parents, also had a good
effect. ,

PARKS DRAW LARGE
HOLIDAY CROWDS
"Fourth" Celebrators Flock to
Various Recreation Places
for Day's Festivities.
BEACH ATTRACTS MANY
Omahans who could not get into
the wrestling match or Fontenelle
park yesterday went to Hanscom
Riverview, Miller, Kountze, Elmwood
and the other recreation spots of the
park system. During the early morn'
ing, when the rain drops cast I
dampening pallor upon the enthusi
asm of picknickers, many expressions
of disappointment were heard. Along
about the noon hour, however,
rift was observed in the sky, and at
one o'clock the sun broke through
the clouds and bathed the earth once
more in a benediction of cheer.
Lunch baskets were toted off to
the parks,' and there the children,
mothers and fathers and beaux and
belles did honor to the spirit of '76.
Riverview beamed with activities
of celebrants. The new swimming
pool was a veritable mecca for those
who enjoy splash. Municipal beach
was crowded during the afternoon
Superintendent Holt estimating the
attendance at 2,500.
Band Concerts Popular.
Residents of the Kountze park dis
trict assembled at the park during
tne early evening and enjoyed a band
concert and a neighborhood display
of fireworks. Members of the Han
scom Park Improvement' club held
their neighborhood celebration at
Thirty-third and Wright streets. .
Groups of picknickers were abler-
ved at Elmwood park. South-Siders
made merry at Mandan, Spring Lake,
Uear View and Highland parks.
Krug park was patronized by a
large crowd, many attending after
the wrestling match. Music and fire
works were on the program in gen
erous quantities and qualities.
