Many good names arc being sug-
sested as candidates for councilmen
IN the different wards. It is evident
from what can be seen and heard
that the Republicans are getting tired
of Democrats and obstructionists on
the council to do all the mischief they
can and then step aside TO the people
and lanshinsly say that they had no
voice in the council, the Republicans
are responsible for everything done
there. Republicans are beginning to
see the trick and are getting ready
to control in full and then take the re.
sponsibility the same way.

Williams news., 1905-07-08

Once more the Fourth of July has come and gone; once again the day on which the national inde- pendence declaration was made has been celebrated throughout the length and breadth of the land, but no where more fittingly, we dare say, than here at Williams, the gateway to the Grand Canyon.
 Naturally, being one of the exec utive committee as we'll as the ed itor of the NEWS, the writer feels delicacy about blowing up the cele- bration, for some one might say we were blowing because we assisted in it. Therefore we trust that what follows below as to description of events, etc., will be accepted as though we had been in no way con- nected with the committee work.
 We may say first that the cele- bration was a success, an unquali- fled success, and was pronounced as such by the large crowd of visit ors who came from north, south, east and west to witness the events.
 Never before in the history of the town, so it has been said, and at least we can vorch for it during our residence here, has there been so large a crowd present. Another feature, and a most notable one, was the absence of wind and dust, which a year ago was almost un- bearable Then the events were all pulled off quickly, without long waits to try the patience.
 The new reserved-seat portion of the grand stand was winner and without it there would have been much disappointment. AS it was both stands were taxed to their ut most capacity on the Fourth and then there were enough people on the outside to have filled them twice over.
 As advertised the celebration was opened up with a dance at the opera house on the evening of the 3d, which fact materially assisted in the bringing into town of many people a day ahead of the main show.
 Tuesday morning dawned bright and clear, and without a puff of wind except that created by the dynamite salutes fired by MT. James Ragan. As he fired them off just east of our house on the hill we awoke, suddenly, ,and smiled, at the weather.
 At about 9 o'clock the rife and shotgun tournaments were pulled off at the grounds of the club as follows:
 RIFLE TOURNAMENT.
 In this competition each shooter put up one dollar for q purse of first and second money, the main prize being $l0 gold medal. P. A. Melick won the medal, having made the highest score; Harvey Hicks won the first money, $6; and E. w. Hackley second money, $4 The distance, 200 yards, at German ring target.

judges have a right to call bets of.
 SADDLE HORSE RACE.
 In this 4-mile event there were four entries: Miller's "Black Jack," Stones "Baldy" and two Indian horses, ''Supai Bob" and Buck skin" The horses finished as named, the purse being $25 and $10.
 LADIES' SADDLE HORSE RACE.
 Another 4-mile event for $25 and $1O. This was won by Stones "Black Cap" Hicks Billy" finish ing second.
 THE PONY RACE.
 There were three entries in this 1-mile race for $1O and $5. as fol- lows: Perrin's "Dick," O'Brien's "Black Wing" and "Baldy."
 BURRo RACE.
 There were two entries and two purses for this-$3.50 and $1.5O. It was won by Duffield's "Duffy," Dunn rider, against Jordan's Jack. Duffy" should have been entered in the broncho busting contest, as he bucked at every jump in the road and won almost in a walk.
 BRONCHO BUSTING.
 This was a rather tame affair, neither of the horses ridden being ideal "buckers." The judges-J. A. Johnson. Chas. McGary and Howard Cu1tis-decided that N. B. (Tex) Wilkison was entitled to first money, $35, and Yaqui second, $15.
 SPECIAL MATCHED RACES.
 The big afternoons performance was closed with race between the Hicks and Stone horses for side bet. The race was won by Hicks.
 FIREWORKS DISPLAY.
 As soon as it became dark enough the committee burned up a few good dollars for the benefit of the young people. Not much was spent on this sort of entertainment, how ever.
 THE GRAND BALL.
 Later at the Odd Fellows opera house the largest crowd of dancers that ever trod the floor of that large hall congregated themselves togeth- CT. We say this advisedly. One could hardly take a step without treading upon some one or being trod upon. But they enjoyed it, every one. The boys put up good music and took in the big wad.
 Later on some of us slept while others continued to celebrate.
 Next morning, the 9th, more events were pulled off on the street as follows:
 Three Leg Race-Small-
 Henry Isibell, Jas. Fisher .$2 % Roy Andrews, H. Klock. :. 1 % Three Leg Race-Large-
 Tim Cornish, Ed Garrett. 2 % L. Fisher, P. Travis. ...... 1 co Egg Race
 James O'Brien 2 co Clifford Klock. 1 % Foot Race-1OO yards.
 Ed Garrett. .......... 2 % Aug. Dietzman. n........... l % Small Boy Race
 For this the committee put up 55 cents odd change, 50 cents more being donated. It was won by Jas. Fisher, 75 cents; Cesaro Enriques, 35 cents.
 INDIAN FOOT RACE. Finn Watahomiji .$1 % Bill Burro 50 Katie, a Supai Indian squaw. ran 100 yards against time for 50 cents. She is said to be very fast. Finn threw Mexican Jack two out of three in wrestling match for a donated purse and was thrown two out of three by Bill Burro.
 A purse was contributed to settle dispute between small boy run ners. There were five entries. Lloyd Wolf won first, $2; and Jas. Fisher second, $1.15.
 JUNIOR BALL GAME.

SHOTGUN TOURNAMENT.
 Immediately following the above came the contest for the shotgun $lO gold medal. In this, as in the above event, Dr. Melick came out winner, while H. Hicks won first money, $4.SO, and J. H. Hudson second, $3.2O. The score follows:
Williams news., 1905-07-08

Ourlng the race Hal Thomas and Frank Field each lost control of their machines and received bad falls. Immediately after these races the crowd repaired to the plaza to see the greased pole climbing. A pole had been planted near the sidewalk leading to the depot and there the most fun of the mornings entertainment took place. It seemed for @ time as though no one would tackle the job for the $5 prize of- fered, none of the white boys car ing to do SO, and the fun came from an unexpected quarter. It was with the appearance of young Supai brave named Finn Wata- homiji. His efforts were ludicrous, though he was dead game, but would never have reached the top without aid. After the crowd had had about hundred dollars worth of laugh he was boosted and pushed up till he could clasp the top of the pole, and the committee decided he was entitled to the money.
 In the afternoon at the Fair grounds the big events scheduled to take place were pulled off in good shape and though there was much wrangling over a couple of races, everybody voted the day the biggest success ever.
 BASE BALL GAME.
 The game between the Willia ms and Flagstaff teams was too one. sided to be interesting, yet there were many good plays made and some bad ones. Flagstaff was badly out-classed at every point and the batters were at the absolue mercy of Lane, who was caught in good style by Hacker. Scotty McDou- gall, the old war horse, made the only home run hit. and won rounds of applause. Following is the line up of the players:

Williams news., 1905-07-08

Owing to the fact that Dr. Melick now has several medals won in the rife and shotgun events at different times, he has decided to have but one ot the medals he won on the Fourth made for himself. The other he will have made into a club medal, to be worn by the one who has made the best average, or under such rules as may be estab- lished by the club.
 While the above events were tax ing place the entertainment of the general public was being looked after on the streets. The Eagles band, which had been engaged for the occasion, played several airs while the people were assembling to witness the various tests, which were as follows, with the winners and purses:
