saying that he does not think II possible for the

A reference TO my gas bills for a number Of years

RESULTS OF SPORTS.
Program is Disarranged by Actions
of Crowd.

The program of sports that was to have
been given during the afternoon was
changed materially, after the events were
begun. This was caused by the crowd
breaking down the ropes and filling the
track, forcing the runners out of the
game.
The chairman of the committee on
sports, Leo Bird, called off all events
after the running races.
The results were as follows:
220 yard dash for mend. L. DaVey
first, and Ray Gayler second.
100 yards dash for men-John Hilton,
Ray Gayler,
100 yards Hash for boys from Il TO 16-
Orlan w. Pratt, Gordon Kirby.
70 yards handicap for boys, 10 to z
Richard Roberts. Leonard Homes.
IS yards handicap, boys II to NV. Jet
tiers first, w. Vincent and f. Kincaid tied
for place.
rs yards dash for girls-Rosie Smith and
Leona Anderson tied for first and first
and second money was divided.
80 yards dash for little girls-Anna
Beatty and Lola Merrill.
One of the most interesting features of
the program was 1000 yards race be-
tween man and relay of ten girls. The
girls won the prize. $3.50. The man, who
was easily defeated, was Claude Ferritt
The baseball game played by the First
and Second ward teams, was won by
the First ward, the score in the seventh
inning being Is to g. The game was
called at the end Of the seventh inning.

outside the enclosure that had been rOped
off by the committee.
Finally a squad of hOTsemen were i'm
pressed into service and the crowds were
effectually driven back from the enclos-
ure.
Campfires were built and Dutch kettles
were suspended from tripods. Prepare
lions were made for a meal.
Suddenly, and without warning, a blood
cuFdling WarwhoOp was heard, and the
campfires were deserted. while the men
ran for their weapons to Tepel the attack
of the Indians, who, under cover of the
shrubbery, had Crept to a cOign of want
age and had descended upon the camp.
The attack was repealed. and the In
dams were forced to the edge of the en-
closure. There they were reinforced. and
the tide of battle again turned.
SO vicious was the last attack that the
whites were forced to retreat, carrying
the bodies of the dead and the wounded
with them, to save them from the afro
cious indignities that would be inflicted
If they were to fall into the hands of the
savages. Encountered as they were, the
defendants of the position were handi-
capped, and the savages swooDed down
upon them, lifting CORY scalps from the
heads of the PROSTATE men.
Then a white flag was raised by the
white men Gas though a flag of truce had
ever been respected by an lndian) and a
parley took place.
Blankets, sacks of flour and saddles
were given in exchange for the prisoners,
and the Indians departed, victorious.
This was as it should have been. The
facts of the incident are somewhat differ
ent though that was not the fault OF the
committee.
The battle had no more than commenced
when the thousands of men and women
and little children who had been attracted
to the field of carnage broke the ropes
and swamped the field, much to the cha
grin of the warriors.
Horsemen attempted in vain to press
the crowds back to the ropes. but the
numbers overcame them and the crowd
covered the field
Indians. whites and horsemen were
swallowed up in the crowd like drops in
an ocean, and the sham battle was GeYel-
oped into another sort of sham.
The plans of the COMMITTEES were coed,
and everything was taken into considera-
tion-eXcept the crowd.

LITTLE EPISODES OF DAY.
Many Lost Children Restored to Par.

Sergeant John Hempel and Sergeant

four mounted men, seven regulars and
seven special policemen, patrolled the
grounds constantly. Not an arrest was
made, and there were no disorders or dis
turbances during the entire day.
The policemen were kept busy during
the day looking for lost children and de-
tached parents.
To facilitate the finding of lost infants
a tent was raised near the refreshment
stands and man was left in charge. At
this tent there were many heartbrOken
youngsters during the day, and there
were as many happy reunions.
The lost children were furnished with
soda water, popcorn, peanuts, candy and
other delicacies that fill the infantile
heart with deight-and the infantiie
stomach with miseTy-by sympathetic
men and women.

One Really Old Wagon.

George B. Margetts drove the most real
istic representation of pioneer outfit in
the parade. The wagon was so old and
worn that il seemed about to drop to
pieces at every revolution of the wheels.
The horse DIR lWing the vehicle seemed as
decrepit as the wagon.
The cover of the wagon was torn aid
patched and gray with age and long use.
From the interior of the wagon issued
the strains of ''Arkansaw Traveller"

airs that the -grandmothers of the
present generation danced to- The violin
was played by John Mcdonald. sr, pio-

dressed as a woman; Ethel and Amelia

On the top of the wagon cover was
fastened the pelt of an animal supposed

was in operation in the wagon, and the
smoke curled over the top as IN the olden
days. Old guns and powder horns. frying
pans and a Dutch kettle washtubs, and
bundles of hay and candle lanterns were
also displayed Hickory reaches were at

; a platoon of mounted police cleared the
path. Behind these came a number of
young men clad in shirt waists. These
had a difficult task little later in the
day TO keep. or rather, to attempt to keep
the crowds outside the limits OF the
camping ground where the sham battle
vas fought.
Chairman Heber C. Iverson and the
members OF the committee having in
charge the comfort of the pioneers fol-
lowed next in carriages, after which the
pioneers themselves were seen in the
'drags and carriages in which they had
left the Assembly hall earlier in the morn
ing.
As the crowds caught sight of the gray
heads and feeble forms of the trailbreak-
ers who braved the perils of the desert to
found a new commonwealth they cheered
and waved their hats in the air.
Greetings were shouted by individuals
in the crowd to the old men and women in
the carriages, and they answered with a
wave of hand or handkerchief, or with
a word and a smile of recognition,
Children and Indians in Wagons.
The pioneers occupied ten carriages and
the two drags. After them came sixty

journey across painless plains and I'M
scaled mountains. In each of these
wagons were a number of full-biooded
Ute squaws who were brought to the city

During the progress of the program at

were eating their dinner under the trees,
the company of wagoners was busily en-
gagged in making camp The wagons were
drawn into a circle 225 feet in diameter.
Each wagon was interlocked with the
wagon in front, the whole forming a
strong stockade.
In the center of the circle the animals
Of the drivers were picketed, and camp
was pitched as in the days of old. A
campfire was built and an effort was
made to perform the camp life tasks as
