The cowboy dance Wednesday
evening was one of the most not
able and successful events of the
week. The opera house was
crowded with dancers and spec
tators. Hon. w. +. Martin was
master of ceremonies and, as
was to be expected, met all re-
quirementS in way of keeping
the throug in hilarious spirits.
About fifty dancers were in cos.
tune and they presented as
picturesque an appearance as
could we'll be imagined. At the
conclusion of this special feature
of the dance a fine Navajo blank
ct was awarded to Mrs. w. ID.
Newcomb for the best lady's cos
tune and a pair of silver mount
ed spurs to Dwight Craig for the
best gentleman's costume. Mrs.

turned into the fair associations
