MANY ENJOY THE PICNIC
SUNDAY SCHOOL SCHOLARS AND MANY OTHERS AT SILVER
 CREEK.

Douglas. Ariz, Sept. 5.-(Special.)- l Over a hundred people attended the picnic at Silver Creek yesterday, given by the Presbyterian Sunday School. A special train of two cars left town about S:30 and was scheduled to be out there about o'clock, but owing to one of the bridges having been washed out it was after II o'clock before it arrived.
 | An extensive program of races had ! been arranged, but was interrupted by heavy rain storm. which drove all i the picnickers under shelter in a va cant house.
 After the storm was over the bal ance of the program was carried out near the railroad track. One of the most exciting of the races was the free for-all mems race, in which about a dozen and a half men and boys en- tered. George Fisher, who proved himself considerable of a sprinter, won the race. Councilman Dunlap was a close second and showed that he can run some himself. The surprise of the race, however, was the running quail ities of Judge Mcdonald. who came in third, coming in on the homestretch like a loaded freight train going down hill with the throttle wide open and no brakes on. Had it not been for a bank at the end of the course the judge might have been going yet. O.. ! s. Long came in fourth, and the bal ance of the crowd came in in bunch. The ladies shooting match also proved a very close event, there being four ties after the first round. Mrs. Dunlap, Mrs Whipple, Mrs. Nash and Miss Hess all hitting the bullseye. In the second round Miss Hess and Mrs. | Nash tied. In the third Mrs. Nash hit int fair and square in the center and won the prize.
 ! Had it not been for the delay in get ting out and the shower in the after noon. the day would have proved de- ! lightful outing in every respect. As it was every one enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
