artistic surprise to the unsteady knowing
ones Of Europe TO find that the despised
military band was capable, when under the
dominating impulse OF a master mind like
John Philip Sousa. of perfectly Stimulating
the effects OF the string orchestra and of
giving thoroughly satisfactory and finished
performances OF the great musical works
mat have never before been regarded as
possible military band literature. Still an
other feature OF Sousa's concerts that at
tracted much attention in Europe was the
elegance, grace and authority of his con-
Quoting. In addition 10 Sousa and his
band, Indianapolis music lovers will be
favored with two s~oloists, Blanche Duffield,
soprano, and Bertha BucNlin, violinist.

From fhe Guymon Herald

The Meade band boys passed
through town Monday enroute home
from the town lot sale at Dalhart.
During the brief stop at this point
the boys furnished some very good
music.
The suit against Tom Hungate for
the forfeit money up on the STRAIT
ford foot race was withdrawn. Tom
is not easily bluffed when right and
is to be congratulated over the stand
he took for fairness to all concerned.
A prairie fire last week near Shade
wiped out all of Irv Steele's pasture,
and partly destroyed the pastures of
several other ranchmen, among the
victims being G.. c. Brown, Jack
Langston and Boss Neff. Mr.. Steele
will have to find a temporary loca-
ton for his cattle.
The foot race billed for Stratford,
Texas, yesterday failed to occur.
The principals could not agree on
the method of starting and after
chewing the rag all day long the
stake money was pulled down and
the race declared off. Those of this
place and elsewhere who went down
to witness the race were disappoint-
ed. If either side wanted to run a
blazer and capture the dough the
hrmness of the men who held the
stake money bafled those inclined
to attempt the project. No doubt
serious trouble would have resulted
had the race been run.

From the Liberal News.

Will Ellis who lately came from
the Philippine Islands, is in the city
visiting with his sister, Mrs. Ed
Aker.
The Meade band boys who went
to Dalhart last week gave few Sc
lections of their best as the train
stopped here on the going and re-
turn trips. The music was appre-
ciated.
The prairie fire which was started
in Beaver county, Oklahoma, by
lightning last Thursday burned the
grass off all the pastures of J. E.
Steele and Oswald Theme and IS
sections fot G.. c. Brown. All the
range on Willow, Dugout and Clear
ceeeks south of the Beaver river
were consumed. No buildings were
destroyed, but we understand there
were few cattle lost. The fire was
finally stopped at the north end of
Browns pasture. AS result of the
fire some of the cattle will suffer for
feed. Mr.. Brown informs US that
he still has sufficient grass to "bridge
over"
G. c. Brown, who suffered the
loss of IS sections of grass by a
prairie fire, has been thinking some
and as a result he has thought out a
devise which promises to do effect
i've word in extinguishing the de-
structive prairie fire. The device
is composed of small chains attach
ed at one end to larger and long
er chain. The small chains are fix
ed about two inches apart and in
numbers to equal about S feet. 1t
is the plan to hitch a horse on both
ends of the big chain and drag the
body of short lengths over the line
of fire. 1t is believed that the
weight of the chains will knock out
the fire. The contrivance is worthy
of trial at any rate and the ranch
men should get pattern and try it.
On Thursday morning the Meade
and Hugoton boys crossed bats at
about nine O'Clock. From the be-
ginning of the game the Hugoton
boys discovered that they were in
for a good time and there was no
assurance of victory for Meade.
The game drew large crowd. Both
sides were vigorously applauded by
the spectators When the first half
of the eighth inning was completed
the score stood 5 to S, with equal
chances for both sides. AT the end
of the inning, Meade won out by a
score of 7 to5. The game was pro-
nounced the best eyer played in
Liberal. We understand arrange
ments have been made for another
game between Meade and Hugc-on
in this city at an early date.

Quite a number of prairie fires
we're raging last Sunday east and
west of Meade. There was large
fire over about the Seward county
line which swept north to the Ar
kansas river. The fire east of town
was only a few miles east of E. w.
Fletcher's place. The fires Satur-
day night and Sunday were started
by lightning striking the prairie.
