The First Race.

Work on the west side race track
continues, and i'll a short time Great
Bend will have one of the finest race
tracks in the country. The first race
on the new track took place Friday
afternoon. Mack Bennett went out to
the track on horseback and while sit
ting on his horse George Bigham who
was driving a team on the works, passed
by. The two had met before and had
no love for each other and soon en-
gagged in "mouth fight, when Big
ham made for Bennett and that gen
tleman put the CAD to his horse and
few down the home stretch, out of
harms way. Bennett came to town
and swore out a warrrnt for Bigham's
arrest for threatening to assault him
with knife. The case was tried in
Crummack's court this morning when
the defendent was dismissed and the
plaintiff taxed the costs involved.
'.He who fights and runs away, will
live to fight another day"
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1888-05-24

"Littie by little the time goes by
Short If you sing through il, long If YOU sigh
Little by llttle-an hour a day,
Gone with the years that have vanished away;
Little by little the race is run
Trouble, and waiting, and toll are done.
Little by little the world grow strong,
Fighting the battles Of riget snd wrong:
Little by little the wrong gives way,
Little by little the right hassway;
Little by little all longing souls
Struggle mp TO the shining goals"

A Delightful Evening.

The second ball given by the boys
of the fire company occurred last Friday
evening at the opera house, and was
in every respect a grand success as a
pleasurable event. The music, by
Cars orchestra was as usual the very
best. and it was impossible not to get
upon the floor and move through the
''intricate mazes" to its inspiring
strains. Dancing was continued un-
til $50 early in the morning." and the
evening being delightfully."- cool no
one was fatigued or ver-weary.
Financially the receipts were reason
ably satisfactory, and if every effort
put forth by the boys to uniform the
company will meet with the same de-
gree of success it will not be long un-
I'll we have handsomely uniformed
company. The boys sold quite a
number of tickets to citizens and mer-
chants who do not attend dances, but
who freely assisted in showing an APP
probation of the hose company. The
boys wish to thank each and every
individual who assisted in making
the dance success, and promise that
their kindness will not be forgotten.

unable TO see anything in this course that en-

rather, that correction and not concession IS

per's Dragging remark, he has come round TO
the Republican way Of thinking, or, as MIR.
Phelps puts it, he has gone back on himself"
The powers of retaliation already given him
are undoubtedly sufficient. His motive in ask
ing for others is questionable. We do not be-
lieve his conversion an honest one. He evil
IDENTIFY saw that his policy was unpopular and
thai the Republican policy was sustained by
public sentiment. and so he is cunning for
votes and not for Canadians. 1t is open to
grave doubt whether he will enforce the new

Still. he processes to have adopted the Repub-

benefit of all reasonable opportunity for its
enforcement. Let him be taken at his word,
regardless Of his motives.
