An Indian fOotrace followed, and
after half a dozen false starts a bunch
OF the natives got away and a thin,
little Indian shot 10 the front, winning
the l00-yard dash h~aGdily. He is still
going az far a. his white brethren
know.
Next the leo gard race, free for all,
was called. Frank Gill proved the
winner, H. Gill a good second. The
three-leoged race created a good deal
of merriment. John Mack and Fra.k
Pliers were the winners. The boy 5

jim Woodbury., of Empire, a close
second. The judges then called the
girls race. Elsie Gavon won with
Fern Willard second.
