crowd and while half a dozen were
bent on catching him, several hund-
red were frantically striving to give
the sweet thing wide berth. Geo.
Holman finally captured the pig.
The broncho busting took place or
the ball ground. Beingrunable to
arrange for a competitive contest
the committee gave Bud Dobbins
500 to ride an outlaw. He proved
to be an expert rider and sent q
chill of excitement through the
audience. Once his horse fell and
pinned him to the ground. Tn.
daunted, he climed back into the
saddle. The outlaw bucked harder
than ever. When herder tried to
turn the horse out of swamp in the
lower end of the field, the bucking
horse fell and his feet became en-
tangled in wire fence. For few
seconds all that could be seen of the
rider was his head bobing above the
water. After this he rode a gentle
horse, standing upright in the sad
die and performing other stunts in
trick riding.
An account of the fight is publish
ed elsewhere.
Two entries were made in the
pony race. and Chauncey Dressler's
horse won him the $3.50 purse.
1t was during this race that what
might have been a fatal accident
occurred. A drunken Indian but
ted into the race and rode just "a
head of the regular racers and had
no reins on his horse. His horse
crowded into the side lines and
knocked an Indian boy to the ground
rendering him unconscious. A son
of Mr.. and Mr.. Henry Hogrefe was
knocked down and received a pain
ful bruise on the leg and arm.
After dinner the street was bril-
liantly lighted and the good natured
crowd engaged in a confetti battle.
Throughout the day and evening
the band played on the street and
were not stingy with their music.
The dance started at nine O'Clock
and broke up 2 a. m. A record
breaking crowd was in attendance
and the band cleared $4,000 which
will be used towards defraying the
expense of maintaining the organiza-
tion.

The celebration held in Gardner

by one of the largest crowds that
ever assembled here on any prev
ious occasion. The day was ideal
and old Sol seat forth its warm rays
with sufficient energy as to keep the

as the thirst emporiums well patro-

The days program was started
off by the automobile parade. A
long string of beautiful and gaily
decorated machines fell in line. The
band headeded the parade and rode
on float drawn by the two big
horses of James Currie. The judg-
es, Leo Springmeyer, Virgil Cen
nell and Ernest Tucke, selected the
auto of Henry Bruins as being the
best decorated and he was awarded
the prize sof $500. The float of
the Camp Fire Girls came in for
earnest consideration and was a
close competitor for the prize. In
fact, every car in the parade came
in for a just share Of admiration of
the spectators that lined the streets
as the parade glided by.
Following the parade came the 2
mile motor cycle race. George
Holman, riding 8 h. p. Dayton
defeated Duke Cordes riding a 7 h.
p. Indian. The race was close and
the riders crossed the line at better
than a 60 mile pace. The single
cylinder race was called off because
of a balky engine.
After lunch came the foot races.
Herold Wheeler won 81 by being
first over the line in the boys race.

Alpine is On
the Up
Grade

E. j. Mayo, who conducts a gen.
eral merchandise store at Marklee-
vile, was in town Monday and re-
ports that the mining outlook of
Alpine county never looked brighter.
The Curtz Consolidated Mining
company has spent staggering sum
developing the Stella mine and has
succeeded in opening up a mammoth
body of pay ore. After the ore
bodies were proved the company ac-
quired the Curtz-Evans property in
cluding the power house. The lat
ter has been enlarged and last week
a new dynamo was received and is
now being installed. The new plant
will have ample capacity for furn-
ishing all of the power that will be
required at the mill and the mine.
The new mill equipment has been
ordered and is expected to arrive
at Minden within the next few days.
Teams have already been engaged
to haul the machinery to the mine.
1t will be but a matter of a few
weeks when the mill will be ready to
crush ore.
Captain Peter Curtz is managing
the work and to him, also, belongs
the credit of enlisting outside capi-
tai for the development of the prop
erty.
Mr.. Mayo also states that Alpine
county is becoming more and more
mecca for campers and that they
are rolling in at a lively rate this
season. 1t is also expected that
many auto touristf will visit the AL
pine section, made possible by the
new Alpine State Highway.

GREEN WINS
FROM SMITH

The ten round boxing bout held
here on the Fourth between George
Green and Jack Smith was rafting
good go and resulted in a victory
for Green. At the end of the tenth
round both men were still on their
feet.
Chas. Brown acted as announcer
and introduced the fighters. Lex
Smith was chosen referee while
Gene Phillips and George Hussman
appeared in Smiths corner. Virgil
Connell and Fred Settelmeyer acted
as seconds for Green. The first
round was mainly feel-out and in
the second both men landed on the
other with frequency and Smith
drawed first blood. In the third
Jack caught Green swing on the
chin that made him unsteady on his
legs but failed to follow it up. In
one of the early rounds the referee
twice cautioned Green about striking
low.
Green used right swing to kid
neys at will but did not have the
punch behind to weaken his man
to any extent. Once he caught
Smith under the heart and brought
an expression of pain to his face.
From the fifth to the eighth Smith
was content to wait for Green. In
the seventh Smith turned to chew
the rag with the referee and took
a couple of blows on the jaw that
nearly sent him to the mat. AL
though many believed that Green
would put his man low in the eighth
had surprise handed them. Smith
danced out of his corner and showed
that he had considerable fight
left and held his own to the end of
the fight and no time in danger after
the seventh.
Green showed superior ring gen.
eralship while Smith proved that he
was anervy lad and took his punish
ment with remarkable grit.
1t has been said that Smith was
badly beaten up. He had swollen
lip and according to his statement,
carried no bad pain from the ring.
Green had patch or two of skin
knocked from his face and dis
colored eye. However. both men
attended the dance held few hours
lateer and appeared to be none the
worse for their fistic encounter.
Those who paid to see the fight
were well pleased and went away
convinced that the contestants
fought with every bit of energy
stored up in their bodies.

of guilty of manslaughter and each
received a sentence of from five to
eight years. One of the Indians,

pointed to the Indians. After
their arrest they admitted their
guilt.
