Clay Cehter Dispatch: That the Dis
patch band was fairly and honorably
beaten at Topeka last week is frankly
admitted by every member thereof with
the mental reservation however that had
not an accident occurred on the grounds
which it was impossible to prevent, the
result might have been different. While
it was exceedingly kind of their oppo
nents and the judges of the contest tn al
low them to proceed without protest af-
ter having broken down twice, the effect
was so demoralizing that they could not
do themselves justice and nervousness
resulted that was death against such
cool, accomplished musicians as their
by one point only The Emporia band
is composed of gentlemen and they did
every thing in their power after the bat
tie to make the"path of the vanquished"
smooth aud pleasant They succeeded
and the Dispatch boys have nothing but
kind words and pleasant remembrances
of them. II might be well TO serve no
tice now and here that next year the
medal must come TO Clay Center, and
come it will.
The noted Cow boys" hand, when it
came to action and not wind, weakened
and even their ten million dollars failed
10 get them u better place than fifth when
there were but four other bands in com
petition. Marion Center and Topeka
both played elegantly and by next year
will make it exceedingly sultry for any
organization claiming To be better than
they. The universal expression was
tina: of surprise that so many really
good bands had found homes so far
west, Strangers apd visitors in the state
were more than surprised, tbeY were as
tonished beyond expression. The class
of music rendered was as good as any
ever played west of Chicago and many
of the selections were the same as played
in the noted Detroit contest last spring.
Taken altogether this first contest was u
grand success and reflects credit upon
the bands taking part, the state fair and
Major Shreye in Whoae hands all details
were left. Tic judges are entitled To
special congratulations for their fair
ness aud imparliaiity.

Monday morning John Smith, John
Kelly, Pete Morris and John Snow, the
parties arrested On Friday ON charge
of feloniously obtaining possession of a
watch and 81 in money belonging to S.
N. Smith, were brought before Justice
Bachelor for hearing, when the charge
of felony was withdrawn, and the de-
PENDANTS, pleading guilty to drunken
ness, were assessed in fines and costs $13
each. The county attorney stated that
after carefully examining the case he
was persuaded that the whole perform
ance was more in the nature of joke
than anything else, and rs the prosecu.
ting witness seemed to share this con-
viction the charge of misdemeanor was
substituted for that of felony. It is pos
sible that the defendants were simply
'guying" Smith, but very little of that
kind of practical joking goes a grea,
ways and the accused may thank their
stars that they escaped with such light
penalty.
