REAL PIONEER
DAY At SANDY
Large Crowd Attracted by In
tereSting, 0Id-Fashioned
Utah Celebration.
PARADE, SPORTS, 0RATORY
4O-YEAR OLD BALL PLAYERS
PLAY FOUR INNINGS.

1t was a real old-fashioned Pioneer day
|. celebration at Sandy yesterday. There
was a parade, in which Indians and cow
boys and cowgirls took part; there Were
orations and music: there were horse
races ana other sports. and there were
barrels OF lemonade and mountains of
popcorn TO quench the thirst and satisfy
the appetite of the small boy, and the
small girl as well.
In the morning there was stream OF
automobiles, buggies and other vehicles
into Sandy. bearing pleasure seekers from
Salt Lake, Murray, Bingham Junction anc
dozens of other places, and from the sur
rounding farms.
The parade was formed under the d.
rection OF Grand Marshal w. L. Bate
man. In the lead We're several Sandy
youths disguised as Indians and riding
mettlesome ponies. Then came the cow
boys and the cowgirls, all IN costume and
all mounted upon spirited chargers. One
youth who had figured upon cutting a
wide swath upon the back OF an almost
unbroken steed which seemed disposed
to walk upon its hind legs and paw at the
spectators, was summarily ordered from
the parade by the grand marshal.
In addition to the Indians and the cow
boys and girls, there were eight or ten
other horsemen and horsewomen in the
line.

Each Man Knew His Duty.

Having perfected the organization and
sYstematized its management, the pio-
neer band was well on the road to the
west. The start was made early every
morning and camp was made at night in
perfect order. Each man knew his duty.
In the shortest possible time the wagons
Were driven into their position, and while
the transfers were thus engaged others
were lighting camp fires, pitching tents
and preparing supper.
ION the 21st day of April the pio-
neers for the first time were attacked
by Indians. Their appearance caused
much excitement amongst the travel
ers, who did not know what to expect
from the SavageS. But Heber G. Kimball
in order to have no trouble with the In
Gians. gave them tobacco. salt, flour
and other articles. Many different
nights the pioneers were aroused from
their peaceful sleep by Indians attacking
them, and attempting to steal their
horses.
May day of 1S47 was a memorable one
to the pioneers. For it was on this day
the pioneers were introduced to wild
buffalo, and at the first sight of them
the pioneer camp was one of excitement.
for this was an experience they all had
been looking forward to. hunting the
greatest animals inhabiting the western
country.

that a buffalos forehead would resist a

FROM a well posted Denver
man we learn that every man on
both tickets in that city's present
election, was selected and ap
proved by VIM. G. Evans, with
the exception of one. That one
is Mr.. Phelps, the republican
candidate for mayor. 1t is in
tended and expected that he will
be beaten and all the Others on
both tickets are safe men for the
corporations. And still some
poor fools think a man like Pat
terson is to be blamed for rcfus-
ing to support such combination
merely because it is branded
democratic. There is just bare
show that Speer may be beaten,
not much, but enough to stimu-
late decent citizens to do their
best. Some day there will be a
house cleaning in Denver and
when there is it will go hard with
Mr.. Evans and his sort.

DELEGATES to the republican
convention from Montrose were
up against it for time. 1t seems
that the transportation for the
delegation had been sent to Post
master Harrington and he had
been defeated for place on the
delegation. After permitting the
elected delegates TO sweat for an
hour or SO Mr.. Harrington over
looked the dirty trick they had
played on him and gave up the
tickets, all OF which shows that he
is very torgiving gentleman and
one who deserved better than he
received at the hands of his party.

AFTER reading the recent
speech of Senator Jeff Davis, OF
Arkansas, we are lead to feel
thankful that he Carefully pre-
pared the same in writing to
avoid the use of any intemperate
language" At least he says that
is why he wrote it instead of
speaking extemporaneously. AT
the same time if this is the result
of his temperate" cogitation we
have a certain curiosity to hear
him once in his reckless and in.
temperate moments.

Ground will be broken soon tor

new packing houses will be out

The appearance of Judge N.
Walter Dixon as an advocate of
the reelection of Mayor Speer
does not commend itself TO his
former fellow Republicans of
Pubic, although it does not
greatly surprise them. The kind
of Republicanism that shows itself
by building up the Democratic
machine as result of voting for
Democratic candidates is not
popular among Colorado Repub-
licans this year, especially on the
part of those who have received
high honors and position from
the Republic party.-Pueblo

Live Stock Market.

Special to THE New ERA.
Kansas City Stock Yards, June sth.
Cattle receipts for last week were
30, 900 head, an increase over the pre-
vious week, but less than normal for
this season. Continued heavy rains
and consequent flood damage to rail-
roads throughout Kansas aud the
South held down receipts all week.
The market advanced % to 80 cents on
all killing cattle, and 10 to 20 cents on
stockers and feeders. The supply to-
day is 10000 head, market steady to
10 lower, the main cause OF the decline
today being fears of the packers here
Of flood from the Kaw River, which is
now running bank full. Unless rains
fall within the next day or two In the
valley, the waters will begin to recedc
and no damage will have been done.

Word comes from the Colorado State
Fair Management that they are In
hearty accord with Governor Buchtcl's
stand against Race Track Gambling
The Colorado State Fair is an enter
prise entirely above and beyond any
dependence on gambling, says the
Management. 1t is an exposition OF
the natural resources and varied
products Of this great State, held for
the purpose OF enlightening our own
people and all who may attend
from other regions, in regard to
what a magniiicently firm basis
exists for Colorado's glorious future
development. The State Fair Man
agcmcnt aims solely for educational
uplift along the above lines, feeling
that it is well worth while for all Of
the citizens of the State to gather
once year to mutually exhibit and
inspect the latest results OF their
progress in agricultural, horticultural,
mineral, stock raising and other lines
Of effort.
