BLAZE CT GLORY.
CARSON BOILING WITH PAT
RiOTiC SENTIMENT.
A Parade That Was Never Equal
ed in the State.

Carson covered itself with glory and
surpassed all previous records on the
Fourth.
The celebration was a sue 'ess from
sunrise until shutdown and every fea-
ture came off as advertised. At 4:3O
in the morning the deep roar OF the
artillery woke the citizen Of the town
as a royal salute, was fired.
The idea was to give each State q
gun, but the members of the battery
when the gun started we're unable to
restrain themselves and in their pat
riotic ardor they let 60 about a ton Of
powder, and gave each State in the
Union, even including little Rhole
Island, about four rounds. By tn" time
the last gun Lad cooled the Carson
small boy was on deck and filling the
atmosphere with a din hat could he
heard to Reno. When the older cit
liens rose they found the air already
heavy with the scents Of powder
smoke and the town ablaze with deco,
ratinns.
Talk about decorations every house
in the county was plastered with col
ors. The smallest cottages in
the town were prnfusely decorated
as the residences or the wealihiest
citizens. 1t is safe to say that there
was not 4 house in the entire city that

bunting in honor If the day.
