Elkhorn never, saw, a, bigger time
than this Fourth. A conservative
estimate was 1000 people present.
| The grove at the church was crowded
and the people listened to the patri-
otto speeches in approving silence.
The grand parade showed off the
different stures we'll. The racing was
one of the best features Of the day.
| One of the most interesting things
was the bicycle race in which were
twelve contestants. The various
stands and stores did a tremendous
business, the day was fine, and in all,
the people are we'll pleased, yet those
in charge don't care to have such
rush every day. But the crowd was
quiet and orderly, and most everyone
had a good time. Hail. l3 5s+3y 81, 4

safe. They had left a bucket with
waste water in it sitting in the room
where the child was. playing and
when they returned they found the
child head downward in the q bucket
dead. Its little soul had waited to
I that great and mysterious beyond,
leaving two hearts weary and sore to
mourn for it. No longer will baby
lips touch mothers, or no longer
smile greet the father. The little one
has gone bnt its presence lives in the
hearts of those behind. 1t was buried
Sunday in the cemetery at Elkhorn.
