House on Monday night, and a very
pleasant evening was spent. AS is we'll
known, this Club is composed of the boys
residing In the eastern portion of the city.
Their first banquet was held three years
ago In a kitchen. and last year it took
place at private hoase. This year they
decided to have the banquet on more
extensive scale, and number Of their
friends, the writer among them, were
invited to partake of the feast with them.
The club, with their guests, repaired to
the Jordan House about 81 o'clock, and
they soon began to devour the good things
set before them. The dining-room was
neatly and tasefully decorated with flow
ers and eYergreens, the words, "East
Boundary" in large letters, being arched
across one end of the room. Mr.. Baylis
Clarke presided, cpd OF the conclusion OF
the repast, he called upon number ofthe
members and guests for speeches, several
of whom responded. At intervals during
the evening the Harris brothers discoursed
some sweet music. Before dismissing the
crowd, the boys enjoyed stag dance,
after which they retired to their homes,
each one wishing that the East Boundary
boys may long live to celebrate similar
occasions.
In the death of Mr.. James Hunter, who
died at his home in Pendleton last Fri.
day night, Anderson County loses one oi
her best and most progressive citizens.
Mr.. Hunter waa about 60 years of age,
| and was i'll only short time, though he
had been in feeble health for several
| months. He had been resident of Pen
dleton nearly all of his life, and was
known throughout this aection as q gen.
tleman of strict business integrity. He
was full Of energy, perseverance and pub.
| lie spiritedness, and was highly esteemed
by an extensive acquaintance. Mr.. Hun.
| ter learned the trade Of blacksmith,
| which he followed until about fifteen
years ago, when he entsred the mercan-
tile business, and at the time of his death
was at the head of the firm of James Hun
| tee & Sons. Success crowned his efforts
throughout life. He started life as poor
boy, aud died possessed of fine estate.
A wife, three aons end two daughters,
together with host of relatives and
friends, are left to mourn his death. On
Sunday, after appropriate funeral services
conducted by Rev. Or. Adger, his remains
were inferred at thu new Presbyterian
cemetery with Masonic honors. The fu-
neral was attended by very large crowd,
all of whom realized that good man had
| been called to his eternal home.

of Southern Wyoming and Northern
Colorado, a silver trumpet, 500 in

REAL RACING.
Grand Struggles of Nine Fast Teams in
Ia Speed Contest.

Now came the genuine racing of the
meeting. The event was the straight
away running-eleven men GOO ieet with
Jumper and $50 feet of hose-good dis
lance and no light load. The odds were
two to one on the Gramms of Laramie
against the field. Greeleys hackers
placed considerable money on that
team. Boulder, Loveland and the
Aleris carried an aggregate of no in
significant sum. Generally first money
was conceded to Laramie. Greeley was
the quiet tip, with Loveland, the dark
horse and the deceptive Alerts an I'M
known quantity.

THE JUVENILES.
Pretty Fast Running by the -Four jun
Tor Teams.

Big policemen were powerless to keep
kids off the track when the Juvenile races
were called. There was considerable bet
ting on this event with the Collins team
favored.
ALERTS.
The Alert Juniors we're little fellows
who found dragging the cart with its
heavy load quite laborious. They were
in earnest and out for the money.
The little fellows were abGdt tuckered out
at the finish, when the official time pieces
showed 90 | 5.
FORT COLLINS.
Boys reach maturity early in Colorado,
for the Collins kids were pretty well de-
veloped to be IS and under. They made
a fine run, finishing in &c 3-5 and ready
for another run. Their suits were the
neatest worn by Juvenile contestants.
CLARKs.
Splendid lockers were the diminutiye
young Clarks and favored with a sturdy
spike leader who is almost a team himself.
They had a hard pull at the start, but
finally made the machine move in lively
style. Several of the BOYS were forced to
drop out, but that leader never wavered
and the team finished in p 3-5.

A protest against the Greeley juveniles
was well taken, the spike leader admitting
he was climber for the adult team.
The protest against the Greedy hooks
was disregarded. 1t was claimed that at
least one runner was not a member Of the
department. This complaint was inspired
by the Collins people.

ON THE TRACK.
Fair Weather, Enormous Crowd and
Grand Races.

There was q stiff breeze which fairly
forced the refreshing ozone into the
lungs and drove discomfort from even
those unprotected from the suns rays.
The air movement swaved the trees,
threw life into floating flags and hanging
banners and made one instinctively fix
the hat more firmly or tighten the grasp
on parasOl.
The spectators came early in anticipa-
ton OF a grand contest in the saw-off be-
tween the Alerts of Cheyenne and
Mackys of Boulder. The grand stands
seemed more inviting than ever and the
rental of two bits less significant. The
same display of beautiful light costumes
was made by the ladies' and their number
seemed greater than on the previous day.
There was no abatement in the exciting
expectancy which seems to thrill a tourna-
ment audience. A number OF viewing
stands had been :mprovised and each was
filled. Every available roof was crowded
and each window along the line was a
frame for a delightful picture. The spe-
cial police were Just as numerous and Just
as good natured but dutitul as on the
previous day. There were bigger crowds
at each cod of the ltrack than Tuesday,
These points are better for observation
than is generally supposed.
The band was at its best and despite
the atrocious uniforms discoursed sweet
music.

THE SAw-OFF.
AIerts Defeat the Mackys of Boulder
for WetTest First Money.

Interest in the saw-off between the
Mackys of Boulder and Alerts OF this city
was intense and manifested itself in all
quarters. Scarcely anything else was
talked OF and betting was lively in favor
of the visiting team. WaGers were made
that 80 As, the phenomenal time credited
to each eleven would not be equalled, that
one team would fail to get time, that a
man would fall down, that plugmen would
be pulled past the hydrant, and so on
until the pool sellers clerks became con-
fused.
II ALERTS.
The Alerls, who were scheduled to
make the mark by running first appeared
on the track promptly at the designated
hour. All were in excellent condition and
seemed filled with nervous determination
to do or die. Seldom has a team received
SO much attention on a track. When a
bevy of the white attired athletes marched
along the track they were given encourag-
ing applause and when a single man
tripped over the course he was cheered.
1t was evident from the demonstration
that Cheyenne people are claumsh to the
extent of l~avoring anything that is of
Cheyenne.
The Alerts we're greeted with a grand
cheer when they took place at the head of
the stretch. The rope was taut when the
word was given, but they bent over lust a
trihe too far and did not get well under
way until fifteen or twenty feet of the GOO
had been covered. Then they did travel.
Every man was pulling steadily and they
moved at a merry clip indeed, leaving a
hot trail. The hydrant was reached in
good order by the plugman and assistant,
but the former was not correct as usual
and had n couple of trials before the
connection was made and water chasing
after the cart. The pipe was in place
at least tour seconds before water issued
from the long throat. The effort was a
noble one and elected great cheering, but
the time, "a l-5 was very disappointing
and the boys and many of their admirers
conceded the match to the gallant Bould-
ers. Still there were a few hopeful
shirts Who never lisnair and wbo M,

without unnecessary preliminaries. They

and the team landed home in the very
good time Of 33-second best.

l.

The thorough good fellows from the
beautiful little mountain town were handi-
capped by the absence of their disabled
captain, who is a valuable man in a speed
contest. In the face of Encouragement,
sore over defeat and at a marked disad-
vantage, they forget everything but the
business at hand and set a mark OF 25 2-5
for their followers.

THE little darlings'' appeared once
more and were cheered to the echo. They
were tired but tenacious and ready to put
up a good race once more. There is a
limit to human endurance and two new
faces appeared on the rope. The nail
drivers were soon ready for their final
run. 1t was a phenomenal performance.
Alter two, lively journeys over the track
the dare-devils made the third onlv 2-5
of a second slower than the grand Lara
mic team. Two pushers were unable to
keep up. The nine men finished in "a 4 5
and were given a grand ovation. Their
feat was extraordinary and added a third
purse to their trophies. This magnificent
little team seems capable of almost any
thing and there is any amount of money
in Cheyenne back of them any time they
enter in a tournament. The time made
by them would land first money nine
times out of ten.

An Archaologist's Find.

New York Star
Prof Edward Froissard, the arch.
biologist, is fond of devo ting his leis-
ure time in hunting up curios to add
to his already large collection. He
told me recently of his latest find.
While he was spending few weeks
at a quiet Long Island village lately,
the children of the house brought
home some ckory nuts. They
had nothing with which to crack
them, so the hostess, their mother,
handed them something, which she
called that old chunk of brass, and
they proceeded to use it. Something
about the chunk of brass caught
the watchful eye of Froissard, and
he made a grab for it. Would you
believe it?'' he said to me. ssWhen
8 rubbed off the dirt, discovered it
to be a genuine bronze bust of w ash
ington a perfect antique, and an
original not described in any book.
/ learned that my hostess grand
father had been prosperous New
York shipoWner in the early part OF
the century, and that the bust had
been presented to him by one of his
captains, who had brought it from
France in 1920. Three generations
of Long Island urchins had cracked
nuts with the priceless relic. :
