THE DAY WE CELEBRATED.

Notwithstanding we were tardy about
getting it up and making arrangement,
Silver City was not slow in celebrating the
Nations Birthday and carrying out the
pretty exercises with great success and
enthusiasm. The day was an ideal one,
bright and not too warm and everybody
in fine fettle for doing their best to make
the celebration joyous one. AT nine
o'clock Miss Carrie Hastings, on beauti-
fully decorated platform assembled the
prettily dressed girls and boys and had
them dantily sing pretty patriotic songs,
recite verses and repeat sentiments and
wave Old Glory in unison with their hap
py songs, the formal reading of the Dec
laration as well as the delivery of a
splendid Grafton by Hon. G. NJ Hays.
A number of young ladies contributed to
the enjoyment by the singing of appro-
pirate songs, winding up the morning ex-
ercises with song by visiting young
lady, which demanded an encore re-
sponded to by the lady, accompanied by
the voices of couple Of merry gentlemen
in manner which brought forth pro-
longed cheers from the assembled throng
All of the exercises were conducted most
artistically and reflected much credit on
the young lady who planned them and
trained the children in SO brief time
for their various parts.
Then, after brief recess, the fun and
games and sports of the day began and
were all carried on with the utmost good
nature, without an incident to mar them
Boys, girls and children as well as ladies
participated in them and young mothers
and more sweet young babies enjoyed
them than any other town of its size can
boast, and the committee Of young men
who had charge of the the games deserve
credit for their success and for the impair
tiality with which the prizes were dis
tributed. 1t is in place here to say, that
the people contributed for prizes and ex-
penses, the sum of $251. 80, out of which
the committee disbursed $233. 10, and
turned over to the bank $1S. 10, for use
on Labor Day or some otherpublic occas-
sion.
AT DeLamar much more elaborate prep
arations were made for celebrating the
Day than were made at Silver City. Their
program included floats bearing the God
dess Of Liberty and maids, Uncle Sam and
his boys, little girls and Teddy bears etc.
and the societies and Miners Union Of
the camp marching with regalia and
badges, and an assemblage of all to take
part in the patriotic exercises with songs
by children and ladies'; the reading of the
Declaration by Hon. j. j. Bennett and a
patriotic and eloquent Grafton by Judge
Flenner of Boise
And then the afternoon sports and
games. 1t certainly was joyous day, on
which everyone seemed to vie with and
strive to excel all the others in adding tc
its delight and pleasures. The officers o.
the DeLamar company and their families
keeking open house and entertaining the
people during the entire day.
1t was a reflex Of the regenerated ener
gies of that once more prosperous anc
revivifed camp.

Two toughs, one Of them recently driven
out of Boise, got into Fourth of July
fight with lot of other fellows taxed up
with boose, and the sheriff arrested and
tried to put them in the cooler, when they
fell upon him and an indiscriminate mix
up ensued of beating up the officer, the
two of them were finally landed in jail
and on Tuesday were brought nd for trial
on charge of resisting an officer Both
entered pleas of guilty and each was fined
500 and costs. One paid the fine and
went his way and the other languishes
behind the bars.
A suit was tried in the Probate court
here Wednesday, over the ownership Of
certain pieces offurniture faken out of one
of the lower street houses by the sheriff
upon the issuance of search warrant,
both Rood and Nelson claiming the furni-
ture on the one part and L. w. Walker,
the owner of the building claiming it in
his own behalf. Rood and Nelson got
the furniture, the workbench of the for
mer occupant, and it was not worth the
trouble.
