ID. McCarty, who resides in Guthrie
county became frightened at a pas
sing automobile near the McCort
slaughter house south of town early
this morning.
MIR. McCarty was bringing his sis
ter, Mrs. Ward and daughter of Bell
field, N. d., and Mrs. Ward of Botna
to town to take the early Northwest
ern train for their homes. When the
mules became frightened they be-
came unmanageable and did not stop
running until they reached town.
The occupants were thrown to the
ground The elder Mrs. Ward had
three ribs broken and was badly
frightened. The others escaped in
jury. However, all reached Audubon
in time to take the train for their
homes. Mrs. Ward expected to con-
suit a physician at Manning where
she hoped to get attention before go
ing to Botna. 1t was indeed FORUM
ate that the accident did not prove
more serious.
Mr.. McCarty is having his buggy
fixed, enc rear wheel having been
completely demolished, before re-
turning to his home and says that he
has driven his team of pet mules
for the last time.

AUDUBON COUNTRY CLUB
ENJOYS A PICNIC

The members of the Audubon
Country Club and their families en-
joyed a delightful picnic supper at
their grounds west of town Tues
day evening. 1t was in fact cele-
bration of the completion of the new
club house which has just been built.
1t was the first time that many of the
members had been out to the
grounds this year.
In the early part of the evening
golf and tennis was the prevailing
past time but when supper was call
ed, all gathered in little groups on
the greens to enjoy the picnic. The
members brought their suppers with
them while the club furnished the
coffee and ice cream. About one
hundred and fifty were present.
When it became too dark to play,
all assembled at the club house
where old and young enjoyed the
cool evening breeze sitting out on
the wide porches in comfortable rock
ing chairs. ii. w. Cowles sprang a
little surprise when he presented a
souvenir to Ed. Johnson, who had
won the championship in the golf
tournament the week before. An
other souvenir was given to j. E.
Kerwin who had won the BOBBY prize.
The Country Club is delightful
place and no doubt will prove to be
very popular during the hot summer
months. The new club house makes
the place especially inviting, and ev-
cry citizen of the town has occasion
to be proud of this place of pleasure
and recreation.
The club now has membership OF
over so and the new house has been
erected at an expense OF considerably
over $500.

LARGE CROWD ATTENDS
OUR BIG CELEBRATION

Audubon celebrated Independence
Day on Saturday July 3rd instead of
Monday the 9Th as many other towns
did. Early morning gave promise
of pleasant day, but later in the
forenoon 1t looked very much like
rain. However about ten o'clock the
clouds cleared away and everyone
thought We would have delightful
weather. In this we were sadly dis
appointed.
A large crowd had gathered in
town and by ten o'clock both sides
of Broadway were, packed with folks
waiting for the big parade. The par
ade started at the foot of Broadway
and went around the square and then
back to the place of starting. The
affair was very creditable. Uncle
Sam, in the person of Dan Wagner
headed the parade, then came the
officials of the Commercial Club, and
the town officials and the speakers
of the day. A big float on which
was seated As young ladies, each
representing state. was very unique
and well prepared. and was in fact
the leading feature of the parade. A
number of business houses were rep
resented with decorated vehicles and
them came string ofdecorated auto
mobiles.
After the parade, the crowd was
seated In the park where under the
beautiful shade trees the morning
program was carried out. The cor
net band played an important part
turnout the entire day and opened the
mornings program with patriotic
selection. A large chorus of voices
sang patriotic songs after which Hon.
II. s. White. of Harlan delivered the
Grafton.
Shortly after the dinner hour the
crowd began to increase rapidly and
by half past two o'clock Audubon had
one of the largest crowds she has
had at celebration for many years.
The threatening clouds kept many
from coming. and when the clouds
gathered heavy and black in the west
people became uneasy and there was
a general scampering for home. In
less than an hour. rain was falling in
torrents and the sport program as
well as the base bail game was call

ed off. The storm lasted but half
hour, but it had driven large part
of the crowd away. The sun came
out again at four o'clock and there
was rejoicing in the hope that the
evening would be pleasant so thar
all could enjoy the display of fire
works, But fate was against us. Just
as it became dark enough to start the
fireworks going, it began to sprinkle.
Although the boys kept busy shoot
ing off the fireworks, people up town
were making tracks for home.
Fortunately there were no acct
dents and Audubon can consider her.
self fortunate that the day came to
such a glorious close even though
there was much disappointment.

DEATH OF NEAR RELATIVE

II. S. Slayton received word Mon
day of the death of his brother-in-
law, VIM, p. Sutton, which occurred
at his home in Red Oak, on Sunday.
Death must have been very sudden
as no word had been received of his
illness. The deceased was about
sixty years of age and leaves wife,
three sons and one daughter. Many
Audubon people will regret to learn
of his death as he was a resident or
this city some twenty years ago. Fun
eral services were held at his late
home yesterday, but Audubon rela-
tives were unable to be present, as
the rain prevented them from making
the trip in automobiles.
