expect AS rule they were respect
able, but one Horb Towers. in the
garb OF convict, got into the hall
and was promptly arrested by Bob
Stewart, whose experience as Sheriff
prompted him to act quickly. There
were two Devils, two Uncle Sans
and two Nights (Which | consider
needless, for most of US sit up all
nights and sleep in chairs all day..
Juliet danced with both the Devils,
and the California Poppy, the Morn
ing Glory and the other agricultural
products danced with the Colored
People and everybody else. Even
the Chinaman was honored by hay
ing Princess or Queen for a part
ner.
There was large delegation from
Hawthorne, Silver Star and Candle
laria. Miss Eva Leidy and Richard
EPooley came from Fish Lake, as did
Hon. Geo. Leidy, who was one of the
Judges. desire in friendly way
to warn Mr.. Leidy not to run for
Office again, for in giving first prize
to Chinaman, he has made enemies
of Elmer Dunlap and all his friends,
and their influence in the next cleo
tion will be felt. We feel pleased at
their verdict in giving the ladies'
prize to lady from Silver Star, but
are hurt to think that they did not
give the diamond pin to one of our
fellows. In fact, we expected, and
had a right to expect, the judges to
give US everything there was to give,
and if Kendall & Money had appoint
ed the right kind of judges, we would
have got away with the whole bust
ness.
We had whole lot OF fun, ali the
same and this dance shows the
friendly feeling which exists in the
county. In spite OF hard times the
people meet each other in a friendly
spirit, and while there is rivalry in
business, when the social interests Of
the whole community demand action,
they are unit. That was demon
strated by the action OF Bill Foster,
Dunlap, Eugene and Horace Greeley,
who never lost trick in the game,
which is remarkable, considering the
length of time it took to play it out.
They met every one in the most
friendly manner and would have kept
them a week but for Lynch (William,
the Mayor of Fort Benton) whose
anxiety to keep them a year broke up
the game.
