Arunaway started on Main street

A runaway started on Main street
yesterday morning which promised for
few moments to prove very serious. A
team driven by Messrs. Malloy and
O'Neill became frightened and started
down Main street at breakneck speed,
but fortunately ran into one OF the trees
in Mr.. Garvins park and were stopped
without any serious damage being done.
A sheriff's deed was filed yesterday,
conveying the property known as the
Marvel ranch. The property was mort
gagged and the foreclosure was made some
nine months ago. The deed filed yester-
day completed the foreclosure proceed
lngs. The Marvel ranch is one Of the
best ranches in the county and is worth
much more than the mortgages under
which 1t was sold.
While in The Register office last week
M. Pickel showed us curiosity which
he intends sending to the Worlds Fair.
pit was section Of tree showing plainly
where a large chip had been cut out
with an AK come years ago. The cut,
however, had been filed up with new
growth and oyer an inch in thickness OF
new wood had grown around the entire
tree, completely covering up and preserv-
ing the wound just as it was originally
made years ago.
Just after noon today the fire bell
gave the alarm and a large crowd col.
lected in few moments at the rear OF
started. The prompt and energetic
work Of the fire department and citizens
prevented what promised to be very
serious fire and with the high wind blow
ing this afternoon might have taken the
entire east side OF Main street. AS it
was, the only loss was the destruction OF
the stairway in the rear of opera house
and some damage to the rear room OF
NJ. L. Conwell's bath house, probably
500 will cover the loss. The fire is sup
posed to have started from fires put out
to burn trash back OF the buildings and
spread when the wind raised until it
caught under the stairway. Good water
service and the fine work OF our fire de-
partments have at last changed Lamar's
fire luck. With a foresight born of
numerous Lamar experiences Joe Con-
we'll in few moments had his shop out
in the street where it has so often been
located. He is now moving back, some
thing he never did before.

.. O. O. =. Anniversary

On Saturday. April 26, 1902, was the
S3 anniversary of the Independent Order
Of Odd Fellows. The day was appropri-
ately celebrated in Lamar by the three
lodges OF Prowers county-Lamar lodge
No. 80, Granada lodge No 72 and Holly
lodge No. LA. The Rebecca lodges Of
Lamar and Granada also participated.
A large attendance from both Granada
and Holly, together with considerable
number Of visiting brothers from various
points, contributed to the success Of the
celebration. From 100 to 15O Odd Eel
lows and Rebeccas marched in the
parade from the Hall through some OF
the principal streets, headed by the La
mar band. The exercises were held in
the opera house, which was filed with
an attentive and appreciative audience.
NJ. j. McMillin OF Granada lodge was
chairman Of the meeting and opened the
same with few appropriate remarks
The principal address was by Rev. r. W.
Moore, pastor of the Christian church IN
Lamar. Rev. Moore is an enthusiastic
Odd Fellow, and the character and true
objects Of Odd Fellowship were never
before ga ably and eloquently presented
to Prowers county audience, and it was
evident that his remarks made quite a
good impression on his hearers. Appro-
pirate addresses were also made by G. b.
Thoman of Lamar lodge, Robt. j. Koonce
Of Granada lodge and visiting Brother
McLennan from California.
The best part Of the celebration to
Odd Fellows was in the hall at the even
ing session. In the presence OF about
10 Odd Fellows the various degrees were
conferred on candidates by the Lamar
team. The visitors expressed them
selves in very complimentary manner
concerning the team work OF the Lamar
lodge. This lodge with their costly
robes and paraphernalia and we'll trained
goat certainly do the work of the various
degrees in very impressive manner.
George Oyler, Warren Downer and Wm.
Kidder were the candidates who faced
the music on Saturday night.
In the 83 years since the Independent
Order Of Odd Fellows was first founded
in America, it has grown to be the
largest secret fraternal organization in
the world. In the amount OF money ex-
pended for bene rolent purposes it has
no rival among fraternal organizations,
and today it is growing faster than any
Of them. Locally the order shows Il
gratifying increase. At every meeting
of the Lamar lodge degree is conferred
on some candidate. Granada and Holly
are also growing in members. And the
celebration Of last Saturday will give
new impetus to the growth OF the Order
in Prowers county.
