A Great
 Celebration.
kingman Enjoys Two Days of
 Sizzling Sport.

Kingman and all it's people did themselves proud in the manner of cele- brating the Fourth of July. The days were full of pleasures and the nights were full of song. And during every minute of the two days there was some interesting feature stunt being pulled off. the general committee, composed of Senator Henry Lovin, A. F. Harris, Tom Devine, John H. Ware and Anson H. Smith had furnished a program of sports that appealed to all the visitors, and Judge Krook and his Elks com mittee, assisted by the ladies of the town had prepared feast fit for the Gods. And we may say right here that the work done by Judge Krcok and the committee and the ladies was one of the best parts of the whole show. Dur ing the evening of the Fourth, it is re- ported, 700 people were served at the Ford garage, ard not one was turned away without a pressing invitation to partake of the banquet. During the dinner fourteen handsome young ladies sang sweet songs and the orchestra dis coursed it's best music for the enter tainment of the guests. This part of the entertainment was vigorously ap- plauded by all the guests, round after round of applause following each song. So hearty was the encores that the large repertoire was sung over and over. The young ladies taking part in this song fest are Alta Hubbs, pianist, Fred Lydy, violinist, Mrs. Tom Devine, Mrs. Charles Granger, Mrs. Grace Armstrong, the Misses Phyllis and Alice Smith, Pearl Carr, Emma Miller, Ruth Beecher, Hettie Klein, Virginia Noli, Emma Martinez, Lillian Meaders, and Ellen Dimmick.
 The morning of the Fourth opened bright and clear, the storm of the night before giving zest and life to every thing. The Tom Reed Band, one of the best bands in northern Arizona, was on hand with a splendid concert in the Depot Square, where it responded to many encores.
 Only few stunts were pulled off during the morning hour, one of which was riding broncho in the streets and another trying to ride a bull. Both were tame, as the bronc failed to do his duty and the bull took the man on his back as just an attempt to drive him over to the swill barrel at the Har- vey house.
 At eleven the east bound passenger train with two locomotives brought in the great delegation fnom Needles and other points west. It was estimated that fully 400 people came in on this train and by auto from the River City. With the local lodge members all the Elks in the crowd marched to the Elks hall, where tickets for the eats for all visitors were distributed and luggage was checked. The Needles bunch of Elks brought the Eller Indian Band with them and the two bands vied with each other in the production of sweet sounds.
 At one o'clock parade of Elks and citizens headed by the two bands marched to the ball grounds, where a game of ball was played between King man and Needles Elks for the war club and other trophy. As usual the King man Elks lost out, tho Needles Elks having all to the good when it came to the battery and stickers.
 The grand stand was filled to over- flowing with women and children, while the hundred or more machines that surrounded the grounds contained many hundreds more. It was estimat- ed that more than 5000 people witness ed the game, in which the Needles team took the purse from Oatman. The game was splendid exhibition, and should have been won by Oatman hands down, but trying to stretch a base hit into two bases and two base hit into home run was the ruination of the hopes of the team.
