Janerio. He wildly described the ex-
perienceS of the expedition before and
after he separated from Col. Roosevelt
and Kermit on Feb. 1. Fiala did not
know until today that the colonel had
emerged safely from the jungle. He
said he had not expected to hear from
Roosevelt before the latter part of
June. Telling of his 400 mile journey
across country with Roosevelt Fiala
said:
lat times we were all forced to dis
mount from oar horses and cut our way
with knives, through the dense under
growth. The rainy season was on and
sometimes we would travel for two
days at time without finding dry
spot big enough for camp.
when we reached Matte Crosse, we
rested two days and then went hunt

tiger cats, were Colonel Roosevelt. Ker-

Too Much For Brazflians.

could and with the negro boys. kept
up for several hours. But the pace
set by the colonel even in their own
jungle was too much for them. Late

and said that the colonel and Kermit
were about two miles OF in the jun

clothing was torneto pieces and their
arms and legs were bleeding in many
places. But they were carrying the

CELEBRATION PROVES
TO Be BIG SUCCESS
Many in Attendance From the
Neighboring Towns and
All are Pleased.

The base ball boys did them
selves proud on their celebration
here the 4th and 5th, and the hun
dreds of visitors who were in at
tendance were more than pleased.
The crowd gathered early Sat
urday morning and enjoyed them
selves witnessing street sports,
nickle scrambles by the kids, old
man races. girl races, etc., and
all were good events and warmly
contested.
In the afternoon Granada and
Hartman first crossed bats in the
great base ball elimination con-
test, each team playing a splendid
game, but the Hartman boys
proved the winners in the hard
fought battle and at once the
Syracuse team engaged them in
contest.
This was a glorious game. The
winner of this game was to play
the Holly team on the 9Th, and
both teams went into the game
with the determination to be the
winner. Littler was pitching for
Hartman and it soon became ap-
parent that he had a few tricks
up his sleeve that the Kansas
boys could not solve. They fought
the battle to the bitter end, how
ever, but it was no use, and Hart
man prepared to take the Holly
team into camp the next day.
Webster was to pitch for Holly
but in warming up" he got
struck on the thumb, so was
obliged to play first base, while
Kerns took the box. Kerns made
good. too. and the hardest fought
battle Of the two days resulted in
a victory for the home boys, who
are now playing real ball.
Saturday evening the crowd
enjoyed themselves at the Arm
ory, the large floor being filled
with a jolly, rollicking crowd,
each minute being utilized by the
dancers.
Everybody had good time =
and next year Holly intends to
celebrate in a far more extensive
manner.

PLAN LARGE EXHIBIT
FOR COUNTY FAIR
Holly Section Will Have Best
Exhibit This Year in
History

Plans are being made at present
for a grand monster exhibit of.
the Holly section at the Prowers
county fair this fall, and the ex-
hibit promises to be the best ever
made from this section.
Manager Lague, Of the Holly
Milling & Elevator company, who
has had much experience in this
line, will prepare this exhibit,
and he already has molds, etc,
on the road with which to get up
a most artistic display. He will
also have the assistance of other
parties here who are familiar
with this work.
The exhibit will be arranged at
the elevator plant, and Mr.. La
que has had rooms prepared and
is in position to store and handle
same at present. Every farmer
who has good wheat, oats, corn,
barley, maize, etc., in fact who
has raised a good crop of any
kind, should at once see that the
best of the lot is brought to him.
These exhibits will be on dis
play in the name of the person
who raises same, and any prizes
which may be captured will be-
come the property of the person
who produced the grain. Ship
ping charges, exhibit charges,
etc., will be paid by the elevator
company, who are seeking this
display as an advertisement for
this section.
The ladies are also requested to
bring in anything in their line,
such as canned fruits, butter,
cheese, dairy products of any
kind, ETC., and these will be also
properly cared for, a store room,
properly iced, to be constructed.
Of course these latter products
should be held until later in the
season.
With the wonderful crops in
this section it should be easy to
capture large per cent of the
prizes, and the prize winning ex-
hibits will then be taken to the
State fair.
The country should join hands
in this exhibit. Save the best of
everything you raise for same.
Bring it in. Boost!

PRECINCT DIVIDED

At the session of the county
commissioners Monday it was de-
cided to divide precinct No. 2 in
this town, and as the result pre-
cinct No. 13 comes into existence.
Precinct 2 was no doubt the
largest one in this county, the
voters numbering in the neigh
borhood of 600, and it was on
account Of this large number that
the change was made.
The precinct line is as follows:
Starting at the Kansas state line
the precinct line runs straight
west to the old French place,
thence south along the city limits
to Cheyenne street; thence west
on Cheyenne to the city limits;
thence north to the factory road;
thence north to the factory;
thence one-fourth mile north;
thence west to the old line.

DENVER CANNOT BUILD
The M0FFAT TUNNEL
Supreme Court Decides Bonds
Voted bv That City are
Unconstitutional

The state supreme court We'd
nesday held that the Denver city
bonds for the driving of the James
Peak tunnel through the CONT
mental divide were unconstitu-
tional. The opinion reversed the
decision of the district court on
the ground that it was an effort
to lend public credit to a private
enterprise. The majority opinion
was written by Justice Tully
Scott. Justice ". H. Gabbert
dissented.
At a SPECIAL election last Febru-
ary, the electors Of Denver au-
thorized the issuance of So, 3,OOO,-
600 city bonds to drive tunnel
through James Peak to be used
by the Denver & Salt Lake rail
road. In an agreement between
the city and the road the latter
was to meet the interest pay
ments on the bonds and provide
for their redemption. In the
agreement the city was given the
right to use the tunnel for vari-
Gus purposes.
The court held that that the
city had taken no action to avail
itself of it's right to use the tunnel
and that the bonds are unconsti-
tutional in that they would lend
public credit to private enterprise.
The court also denied a new
trial for H. F. Henwood, twice
convicted of numbering G.. E.
Copeland. This was one of the
most sensational murder cases
ever heard III the West, and at
tracted world .'e attention, Ow-
ing to the prominence of the
parties concerned. Henwood is
sentenced to be hung sometime
in October.
