a neighbor to make some bread
as they had nothing in the house
to eat and they we're hungry.
When the father returned home
he demanded to know where the
girls had obtained the -four, and
when informed became enraged
with angry and proceeded at
once to abuse them and at the
point of gun ordered them to
leave his house, which they done,
travelling all night and we're fin
ally picked up the next morning
by a native living near the river
who drove them into town. The
girls had never been to town be.
fore, and when they arrived were
barely dressed, with no shoes
nor stockings. The court took

and gave them to the following
ladies who will take care of them
and give them a good home.

Owing to the fact that it is i'm.

but when Flynn landed in the
sixth round, the negro became
more cautious. AS early as the
sixth round Flynn began buttine

Referee Ed. W. Smith, to quit his

Bryan declared that most Of all
he desired the nomination of a
progressive.
The nomination of Mr.. Wilson
is the result of seven days of al
most constant balloting in one Of
the most remarkable contests in

JULY FOURTH WAS
CELEBRATED IN
GOOD MANNER
A Large Crowd Enjoys a
Pleasant Day. Races, and
other Events a Success,

Although not assuming the prep
arations of previous years, on ac.
count of the celebrations held in
adjoining towns and at Liberty
Township, the barbecue and races
given here on the fourth drew a
large crowd.
Contributions by local business
men were restricted by the COM
ing Second Annual Fair to be held
here in October, which promises
to eclipse anything in the line Of
general gatherings ever held in
this section.
The base ball game did not
materialize, as it was found i'm
possible to bring the Springer
team here and back the same day.
Most of the local boys drove out
to Liberty Township in hopes of
getting game with the fans of
that neighborhood, but they we're
disappointed, as arrangements
had been made to play the Dayis
Brothers fast bunch.
The grand ball in the evening
was a decided success, the ladies'
OF the Primrose Progressive circle
cleaned considerable sum, which
will go towards improving con-
ditlons in our city schools.
