Hundreds Visit
The Big Fair

to get dinner the queen OF the fair
delivered an address of welcome,
which was responded to by A. L.
Nathan. Then the parade formed
and marched to the race track and
ball grounds. While the game was
going on two races were run-one
by white mems horses and one by In
dams. In the first Clyde Thomp-
sons horse won first money, Sunday
owned by Jesse Halter, second. and
Mabel M. owned by G. w. Irwin of
San Luis valley, third. The purse
was $s5. Billy Hubbard was in this
race but flew the track, habit he
has, especially of late. They say
his feet are tender and 1t hurts him
to run, so he takes the easiest way
out of it.
In an Indian race buck was In
some manner thrown from his horse
and run over by another and render
ed unconscious. After an examine
by DR.. McEwen 1t was believed the
Indian would soon regain conscious
ness. Sandoval, the Navajo police
man, and two or three other old-tim.
ers, by strenuous motions and much
talking, induced the crowd to fail
back and no one was allowed to
stand where the injured man could
see them when he first opened his
eyes. They believed II he saw a
white man when he first opened his
eyes he would die. An interpreter
explained to the crowd, and although
every white man knew 1t was non
sense they smiled and good-natured-
lily yielded to the superstitious red
mans request.
The ball game was won by Silver
ton, the score being to 1.
James T. Fay and wife have an In.
dian show similar to the one they
had at Durango last year. They have
a famous sand-picture painter, a
Navajo rug weaver and silversmith
All three are working all through the
day and are the objects of much in
| terest to all who see them. When
the sand painter has finished one
picture he will start another one
The designs are different this year
from those shown last. The silver
smith is working up a pile Of silver
dollars into bracelets, spoons. swas-
tika pins, and all sorts Of ornaments
SO that visitors may see Just now the
work is done.
DO Dale had not intended to come
to the fair, but was struck by sud
den notion just as the train was
leaving Durango Tuesday morning.
He left his uniform and best Sunday
suit, collar and necktie at home. But
he was not in Pennington long until
he was logged out In swell outfit
and took his place at the head of the
band and made a great hit. The sec
ond day Bo was slightly indisposed-
had been eating too regular and
working hard-but he soon got his
wind and at last account was all
right.
The train left for Durango at G
o'clock in the evening. When it
started quite number who were late
rushed across the pastures and
through the bog holes and the train
stopped for them. There was a ditch
to cross after getting through the
DOGGY places and several of the gal
liant young men had their hands full
land some their arms fulD helping
the girls and women across. A re-
port had been circulated that the Ea-
giles had arranged for holding the
train till o'clock and this was re-
sponsible for many being left.

that no ice dealers save the Jackson

shown that the manufacturers sold this

belief is that this will mean cheaper ice
