THE GLORIOUS FOURTH

Was ushered in as usual with a sa- lute by James Ragan, who performs the duty faithfully each year. For our own benefit we will ask the committee next year to appoint some one living in the other end of town to fire the salutes. The night of the 3d many people came in from the west, and many more fol- lowed on No. 8 on the 4th, for they
 know Williams is the place which celebrates right. All of> the sur
 rounding towns were represented. as were the camps in the woods and the camps on the railroad. Be-

quite a buckaroo. A real bucker, belonging to Willis Gilbert, of Challender, was brought out and the fun began. It took several of the boys to get the necessary har- ness on the horse, and finally, with the blind down, ''Crimpy" made a mount. We have seen men ride horses when they sat the saddle and raked the charger fore and aft with their spurs, and otherwise display ed their superiority, but "Crimpy'' surpassed them all in the manner in which he flew around that horses back. Several times he was almost dethroned, but manag- ed to save himself the purse and an ignominious defeat by displaying an extraordinary ability in the leather pulling line.
 BASE BALL GAME.
 While the races and other events were in progress, the game of ball between the Williams team and the Indians. from the Sherman In dian school, located at Riverside. Cal, was going on. To anyone who had been present at the game played a week ago between the two tea ms, the result was a foregone conclusion. It had been arranged that the winner of that game should play the Ash Fork team on the 4th for a purse of $1OO, the purse for the Sd being only $50, but the size of the purse made little difference to the William team, apparently, as an incentive. It was the same old story over and over again. The local team was practically the same which had played the Indians be- fore, with the exception of the ad ditions of Roy and Fred Wolf, who had just returned home from school.

was necessary. The result:

 This shoot closed the events of the morning, and about 2 p. m. the doings scheduled for the track be- gan. The grandstand was we'll filled, and as usual, there were peo pie enough on the outside along the fence to have filled the stand twice over. H. Hicks, l.. s. Williams and Andrew Miller, the committee on races, were at their posts and started the ball rolling. James Walsh, William Souder and Charles Lindstrom acted in the capacity as judges.
 THE PONY RACE.
 This event, l mile race, had five entries, the purses being $1O l for first and $5 for second. It was nip and tuck all the way, and the horses finished as named: Hicks, Indian, Wolf, Holloway, Bradshaw.
 COWBOY NOVELTY RACE.
 But two horses were entered in this race, Billy Morgan's bay and Holloway's roan, ridden by Bob Postle. The distance was one mile and the purse was divided into four parts. The roan took the lead and held it for the first half mile, win ming $5 at each quarter, while after the half had been passed the bay won handily, gathering in the re mainder of the purse, $25. FREE FOR ALL RACE
 This was the big running event of the day, the distance being s of a mile, one heat. Five horses en tered and they were as clean and blooded looking bunch as has ever been on the local track. They got away in good shape with Babe B. slightly in the lead, she main taining it till the end. The entries were: Searchlight. owned by Ja- cob Caufman; Black Jack, owned by Andrew Miller; Henry R., own ed by Henry Ritter; Chas. B. and Babe B., owned by Charles Burke, of Del Rio. The purse hung up for this event was $1OO; $75 first and $25 second. The horses finish ed in the following order and the money was awarded accordingly: Babe B., Henry R., Chas B., Black Jack and Searchlight.
 l INDIAN HORSE RACE. Five red men were out for the money in this race, which was a ] mile dash, the purse being $5 and $2.5O. A good looking sorrel cap- tured first money and pretty pin to landed second.
 AUTOMOBILE RACE.
 Owing to the fact that one of the autos scheduled to take part in the race was out of condition, but one appeared on the track. This was the machine recently purchased by Mayor Atwood at Flagstaff. It was driven by Councilman Hud son, the owner of the machine which did not appear, he having for his guests on the mile trip L. s. Williams, as judge. and Dr. A. G Rounseville. There is nothing like taking a doctor along with you on a perilous trip. Luckily, though, there was no call for his services. A mile was run against time; which was left so far behind that we failed to get line on it.
 BRONCHo BUSTING.
 Nothing in this line had been scheduled to take place on the Sd, but number of the boys raised purse and offered it to "Crimpy" Farnsworth to make ride. Now, "Crimpy" had been riding a good deal of late, and considers himself

--~-~ like the parade which was pulled off on the morning of the 4th. While the above events were being carried on the parade was formed on another street and cane march ing east on Williams avenue, down through the crowded street where every one could see. And it was a parade long to be remembered.
 First came Martin Buggeln's tall ly-ho, bearing the band. This handsome equippage was drawn by a handsome four, gaily decorated with the stars and stripes. Imme- diately following them came Elmer Langin's float, and Elmer surely made his word good as to unique ness. A horse was drawing a cross tie on which had been fastened a wagon wheel, secure, yet movable, and on this Buck Smith was doing 1 the grand stunt. Elmer followed immediately in the rear, with paint ed face and tall hat, drawing a small wagon containing some little puppies Then came the gaily decorated cavaliers, and they made a pretty sight, the procession being couple of blocks in length.
 EGG RACE.
 Ten Pueblo Indians participated in this event. Each was given an egg and spoon. The purse was to be awarded to the two who first ran 100 yards with the egg in the spoon. The race was good one, and quite number finished, though one Indian who had kept the lead all the way, dropped his egg when he was only three feet from the goal. Salasaras received $2, and Lente $1.
 H1lE Do1 EOOI h<ACC
 There were a number of entries in this race, which was also of 100 yards, being won by Oscar Wilson, who received $1, while Robert Mil Ter and Lawrence Dunn, who were tied for second place, received 50 cents each. NAVAJO FOOT RACE.
 In this there were three entries to run and three to ride. That is, each of the runners were to carry man on his back distance of 100 yards. We can talk Supai and Pu eblo some, but as we cannot under stand Navajo, we failed to get the names of the winners, but they re- ceived $3, just the same. CREASED POLE.
 This was the last on the morn ing's program, and was fully as in- teresting as any other event. An nouncement was made that the pole climbing would take place on the plaza, and everyone stayed for the big show. The first to try to ascend the pole was a Navajo nam- ed Denemony. When he discover ed how greasy the pole was, he did not want to spoil his new corduroy trousers and began to disrobe. The committee stopped him in time and hustled him over to town where a suit of overalls were provided him. In the meantime, Supai named Flynn undertook to make the as- cent. Blythe way, Flynn won the pole climbing contest a year ago, and he came prepared. After he had climbed the pole halfway, he tired, and Denemony, having re- turned. he was given show.
 Next, Elmer Langin made try, he being followed by R. c. Arnold. By this time the pole had become pretty we'll sanded and Arnold won the money, $5. The committee de- cided that as the two Indians had worn off most of the grease, they were entitled to some recompense, and offered $5 more to the one of them who could make the best time in climbing the pole. Denemony reached the top in little less than a minute, while Flynn had to give up when near the top, as he could
Williams news., 1906-07-07

 Indians present from the Supai reservation northwest of here, there were over 200 Pueblos and Maya jos present, they being employed in the grading camps on the Canyon road.
 Along about o'clock the festivi- ties were opened on the streets, the Knights of Pythias band marching around the business portion of the city, and with their inspiring music serving to bring the people together for the sports. Ahead of the band was their recently found drum-ma- jor, F. c. Spencer, who yielded the baton like the expert that he is. It goes without saying that the band was one of the features of the occa- sion.
 During the earlier days of the proposed celebration, there was much strife and contention, but as ever, the citizens, business men, committees and band got together and pulled for the welfare of the town and the celebration. The re suit was plainly visible in one of the best celebrations ever witnessed in the northern portion of the ter ritory.
 The first event on the streets was the loosing of the greased pig, do- mated for the. purpose by Ed Leven- good. Both sides of Williams ave- nue were lined with people for the entire block from Second to Third and kept continually crowding into the street.
 THE CREASED PIG.
 The first number on the progra m was the greased pig. Many of the small boys. were entered in this and they fell all over each other and the pig in their efforts to capture him. They chased him up the street and back, and finally Walter Carlson captured his pigship, but the judges would not make the award till he had dragged the pig back and put him in the box, from which he had been released.
 INDIAN VOCAL DUET.
 Bessie Beal, squaw, and Took, a brave, sang a duet in the Supai dialect, for which they were given $1.
 sUPAI INDIAN DANCE.
 Six Supai Indians gave an exhi- bition of one of their Indian dances, but as it was not very lively, a competitive dance was arranged be tween them and some Pueblo h. dians. For this dance the Supais received $3.
 PUEBLOs vs. sUPAIs.
 This dance, referred to above was quite interesting. The Pueblos made their debut first and gave the regulation steps and hand motion. being followed by the Supais, who livened it up quite bit. It being the opinion of the crowd that the dance was tie. the money, $5.50, was divided.
 SQUAW RACE.
 A 100 yard foot race between two squaws, one Supai and the other a Pueblo, was won handily by Bes- sic Beal, the Supai, she receiving 50 cents.
 INDIAN BUCKS RACE.
 Several Supais as we'll as Pueb- los, were entered in this event, which was a 100 yard foot race. First money. $3, was won by Leno- man, of the Supais, while a Pueblo carried off the second, $2.
 sUPAI WRESTLING MATCH.
 In this event Lenoman threw Supai Joe two straight and received therefor $2.
 PUEBLO WRESTLING MATCH.
 The two Pueblo Indians, Lucero and Jaramillo, went at it hammer and tongs, Lucero almost getting his trousers torn off in the struggle for supremacy. He didn't mind a little thing like that, or else he got mad, for he threw his antagonist

 The way the Indians put it over the Williams team reminds fel low of the way the Americans put it over the British after the Decla ration of Independence, just 13O years previous. The score is as follows:
 1 2 I 6 8 g Indians ..............9 o 1-21 Williams. o 0 2 % O-3
 The above score, as kept by the NEWS scribe, shows 21 to 8, which is bad enough, but we understand the official score was 23 to3. Guess we must have lost track of couple of runs while "Crimpy" was mak- ing his sensational ride.
 The ball game closed the days sports on the grounds, but after dark a goodly number of dollars were sent up in smoke for the en- tertainment of the rising genera tion, after which the people retired to rest, dreaming of the triumphs of the morrow. From their pleasant dreams they were rudely awakened at 12 o'clock by the shooting of guns and the blowing of engine whistles. Such noises have been customary on the beginning of the new year, but never before of the 4th of July, so that when the noise started everyone awakened with vision in their minds on the burn ing of Williams five years ago. It was all joke, but many people failed to appreciate it.
