4 CCORDING to plans, be-
~ fore arranged, early
Sunday morning the
business men of Ekalaka COM
menced firing off the anvils near
the we'll on main street, there
by arousing many from their
peaceful slumbers and giving
notice that the glorious fourth
was at hand. The firing was
continued until nearly A. o'clock
when the participants went home
we'll pleased with the starting
off of the celebration that will
long be remembered in the
history of Ekalaka and the sur
rounding country. AS the 4th.
this year arrived on Sunday
the big celebration was held
here on the next two days. At
9 o'clock Monday morning, while
the anvils were being fired and
the band was playing the pro-
gram started off in true Ameri-
can style. The rescue race,
which was the first event on the
program was run in the street
and won by Harold Grant and
RED Metheny. Following this
a broncho busting contest was
pulled off which created con-
siderable excitement. After
this wild west" show Judge
T. j. Martin made a short talk
from the hotel porch after which
he introduced Mr.. Martin Flas-
ted who made an elegant speech
on the origin and Inauguration
of the independence day. Mr..
Flasted's remarks were we'll
chosen and very appropriate to
the occasion.
Soon after dinner the large
crowd of visitors headed by the
band marched to the race track
where the afternoons program
was given. The shoe tying con-
test was a good event for the
boys, with Roy King taxing first
place and Hall second. Next
came the potato race for rs yards
in which there was a good num-
Der of contestants. In this
event the Big Kid" made away
with the grapes, with Marty
of Crook second and Denver
Lane third. Following this the
Umbrella race, was off, which
was one of the best events on
the program, Eddie Flasted TAX
ing first money and Lacy Speel-
man second.
The ball game was next on
the program and proved the big
gest event of the day. The
Baker boys were due to play
here but for some unknown rea-
son they failed to show up and
in consequence our boys crossed
bats with the Crook aggregation.
The game started out with Crook
at bat and the first inning was
q clean shutout on both sides.
In the second our boys scored
three runs while the visitors
only managed to score one. The
third and fourth innings found
two more shut-outs on both
sides at whic': time the game
was getting interesting. The
fifth was in favor of the visitors
who scored two runs to our one,

the visitors got three. The last
inning let the C:ookities down
with another shut-out which en-
ded the game with the following
result

This game was no doubt as
good a game of ball as has been
witnessed here for some time
and all-in-all everyone done good
work. Errors of course were
noted throughout the game on
both sides but to be without
them we would be lost. Cheat
wood for Crook and Moore for
our boys, both did good work at
the delivery end.
In the evening Ekalaka En-
campment No. 65 gave q dance
in the hall which proved a grand
success both socially and finan-
cially. At about 2;;30 all went
home we'll pleased with the eve-
nings enjoyment.
Tuesday :smorning the first
event to be pulled off was another
ball game and as Crook had the
only team here they were again
given a game by our boys. This
time they we're defeated to the
tune of 16 to 10 and from all in
dications our boys were at no
time losers. Cheatwood, the
Crook pitcher was relieved dur
the game by "Wampus" Brown
who endeavored to "stick 'em
over" for the visitors. The game
was witnessed by a good number
of rooters for both sides and at
the start of the third inning
with the score at 3-3 things were
up in the air.. From that time
on our boys began "piling 'em
up" until they received the six
teen scores. In the seventh the
Crookites scored four runs, due
to several bad errors by the
White Sox's and in the eight
they run in two more, which
ended the game as follows:-

In the afternoon the crowd
went back to the race track
where they enjoyed themselves
witnessing the remainder of the
program. There being no one
wishing to enter the harness
it was called off, as was also the
chariot race. The money set
aside for these two events was
then put up as purse for a ! 1-2
relay race. The IA mile dash,
was a good event for the crowd.
"Duster" belonging to Clark,
Tommy Hunter" belonging to
Geo. Boggs, and Long Life"
belonging to Henry Newbary
were entered into :his race which
ended with "Duster" taking 1st
place, Tommy Hunter" second,
and Long Life" third. The
slow race next was won by Ed.
|,Flasted. After this came the

relay race, the contestants being
A. E. Dague, Gum Hedges, Ed.
Flasted and Art Ordames. In
this race Eddie Flasted came
under the wire first with Gum"
Hedges second but on account of
an argument which arose re-
garding the holding of the VIM
ners horses the judges decided to
let the winner run it over or
divide first and second money
equally, which was done. A
match race between "Duster"
and Tommy Hunter" was then
pulled off in which the former
again came out winner.
A ladies foot race was then
added to the program with a
purse of $40 and was entered in
to by Mrs. E.. c. Metheny, Mrs.
Dan Dague and Miss Nellie Sharp
with the latter taking first place
and Mrs. Metheny second. A
broncho was brought out and
turned over to Joe DeMarsh just
before this race and Joe took the
"kink" out of him within a short
time.
Immediately after supper the
Ekalaka Pool boys rounded up
five of their worst outlaws and
after a little soliciting for a
purse they proceeded to show
the crowd some of the real old
western stunts. Such riding
as was witnessed on the street
that night is very seldom seen in
any town. Joe DeMarsh, Clar-
ence Sisley, Eddie Flasted, Nels
Kalstrom and VIM. Shreve all
done some good riding and before
adjourning the animals were
ready to "lay 'em down.. At
8 o'clock the grand ball given by
Canton Custer No. 6. was started
and within a short time the hall
was crowed. The Canton boys
were we'll repaid for their work
and they showed all who attend
ed a good time. Dancing was
continued until 3:15 when every
one left we'll pleased with the
treatment accorded them.
With the departure of the
merry-go-round from town which
marked the closing of the 4th of
July celebration here we doubt
if a single person went away
with anything but a big smile
and good word for old pup
town" We said we were going
to have a good time and you will
agree that we had it. Every
thing was done in good clean
style and no admission was
charged for any event on the
program except the dances. No
entry fee for the races, etc. and
it cost you nothing to see the
ball games. The band WAS some
thing that helped to keep things
moving and was an event that
our neighboring towns lacked at
their celebrations. Hereafter
when we arrange to celebrate
we will not have to go into de-
tails in explaining the event as
the simple expression that ''Eka-
laka will celebrate will draw

Whales That Die for Love.

M. Edmond Perrier, addressing the
Academy of Science at Paris recently,
described whale that voluntarily
ends its days when its companion dies.
A specimen has been preserved by NJ.
M. Anthony of St. Vaast, de la Hougue.
This sea mammal is extremely rare,
said M. Perrier. Despite its length OF
Is feet, it almost always remains hid
den from the eyes of man. Only %
specimens of this kind of whale are
known, and this is the first time that
1t has been preserved. 1t possesses
only two teeth, placed in the middle
of the jaw.
M. Perrier said that these whales
come ashore only in couples. Should
the male die, one can expect to see
female stranded soon afterward, and
vice versa. Suicide for love-" M. Ed.
mond Perrier explained, with a smile.

The British constitution.

In England there is no such thing
as a constitution, as we understand
the word in this country. The Brit
ish constitution is merely a mass of
law, consisting partly of statutes and
partly of decided cases and accepted
usages, in conformity with which the
government of the country is carried
on from day to day. The constitution
Of the United States is written and
can be read in 20 minutes time, while
the British constitution is unwritten,
save as it is contained in hundreds
Of volumes of statutes and reported
cases,
