Interstate Fair A Big Success!

barely left the ground before he
was lost to sight and for two
hours II was not known where
he was or whether he was safe
or not Considerable anxiety
was felt for his safety and there
was considerable talk of start
ing out with searching parties.
Finally the roar of his motor was
heard and in "A few seconds he
came into sight flying close to the
ground. He alighted on the fair
grounds and when his story was
heard it caused considerable
amusement. 1t appears that
as soon 40 he had arisen 0 few
hundred feet in the air he looked
around to get his bearings and
all he could see was fog. The
noise of his engine would natural
ly drown all of the noises caused
by the fair crowd and he had
nothing for guidance SO nc de-
cided to alight. When he got to
earth he could see nothing but
prairie, not a building Of any
kind being within his range of
vision. He finally decided to
start walking and in the course
of events found "A man who told
him to go north if he wished to
get to the fair grounds. With
the assistance of this man he
started up his machine and trav-
eled until he thought | h a [ he
must be somewhere near the
grounds and lighted again. He
found that he still had "A mile to
go and no one to help him with
/, ! his machine. He then decided
to try it alone. which he did sue.
ccssfulIy. although he only clear
ed a barbcd wire fence by a mar
row margin. He finally arrived
, at the grounds where "A great
. deal Of anxiety was removed by
his appearance.
In the meantime Hose and
Papke pulled off the second auto
mobile race Of the fair. This
race was as result Of a race the
+ previous day. Papke being Of the
opinion that. given the inside Of
, the track he could defeat Hose.
Hose was confident that he
could give Papke, with his Ford,
this advantage and still defeat
him, SO for an inside bet of 800
, the race was called. This race
was the chief drawing card of
the third day and was the reason
, for the large attendance in spite
of the rainy weather. The Slip
, perry track and the dense fog
made the track exceedingly dan
, gerous. but. IN spite Of this the
r time was only one second less
:, than that Of the first race. Pap
ke took lead Of about 200 feet
:, in the first lap and held this gain
throughout the entire race. One
thing that had "A great deal to do
> with the winning Of the race 30
easily, was the fact that Hoses
machine was not working at its
best, the carburator being out of
! adjustment. Both men deserve
credit for their daring driving
over the slippery track and the
. way that the machines we're
handled around the short turns
was proof that the drivers knew
the racing game.
This race completed the racing
= program and the bands struck
i. up few lively airs while the
crowd took last look around
the fair grounds feeling a regret
that the fair was so short.
During the entire fair there
was very little trouble with

ade to the grounds.
At 1870 Matt Savage made
his second flight in his Wright
biplane and the graceful gliding
of t h e mammoth bird was
watched with interest by thou
sands.
AT 100 the people were treat
ed to a talk by Governor Byrne
in which he related the expert
ences of the pioneer DAYS of the
eastern counties of the state
which were not much different
than the past few years of this
county. The Governors speech
was well received and the re-
marks concerning the appear
ance of this country brought
down a great deal of applause.
The racing progrrm was called
next and the first event was a
green horse trot or pace. In this
there were three entries, Pom
roy entering one and Norton two.
Topsy, owned by Pomeroy car
ried away the honors in the two
heats and Pete Iron, owned by
Norton, took second money.
The second heat of the relay
race followed on the program
and again the people were treat
ed to some fast work with horses
although the work was not as
fast as on the first day. The
crowd was brought to its feet in
the second lap Of the race when
White Hand Bear jumped from
his horse while it was still on
the gallop and had the saddle be-
tween his legs when he hit the
ground. This stunt" won the
second heat for him. The time
! in this heat was White Hand
Bear, 3:34; Crosse 3.36; and Pike
3:42.
The bands treated the specta-
| tor to a few lively airs and Cor
ad performed his kicking stunt
during the interval between the
relay race and the bucking con-
test which was scheduled next
on the program. This contest
was the most thrilling event that
had yet been on the program
and the witnesses were contlnu-
ally on edge as the outlaw horses
attempted to dismount their
riders. A very narrow escape
from serious injury or death was
the experience Of an Indian
horseman when one Of the more
vicious horses became tangled IN
the lariat which in some way
twisted around the Indians Ieg.
Only the presence of mind Of the
man saved him. He was drag
| ged from the horse that he Was
riding and although he was com
pletely surrounded by the hoof:
of the struggling horse, he es
capped without a scratch, The
contest was merely preliminary
to the contest scheduled for the
following day was won by Cole
man, Eckart and Gist.
Speed fends had their Interest
taken up in the next event Whlcf
was a motor cycle race of tive
miles. This was won by d. d
Movers, of Thunder Hawk, on {
Harley-Davidson machine. Ht
defeated r. S. Spears, of Little
Falls. N. Y, driver of an Indian
Fast time was made considering
that the track was soft and tha'
the turns were short.
The next big event was tht
Indian potato race in which thu
winners were the same as on tht
first day. A good deal better

thing of the past, but it will al
wavs be remembered by t h e
people who were in attendance
as the greatest event that has
taken place since the opening OF
this country to settlement. Each
one of the three days was per-
feet success and at all times
there was sufficient entertain
ment so that the crowd was
never at loss for something to do.
The weather man was kind to
the fair association and on the
opening day of the fair we were
favored with one of those balmy
Indian Summer days for which
the western Dakoras are noted.
Long before daylight people from
far and near began arriving in
the city and by the time the ma
iority of the Lemmonites were
awakened. the streets were lined
with representatives of every
portion of the great Empire. At
1890 the Lennon and Standing
Rock Bands began their concerts
on Main street. continuing to
pour out lively airs until the par
ade started for the fair grounds
at twelve o'clock. Here a large
crowd had already gathered, the
younger people amusing them
selves on the merry go round
while their elders were looking
over the large number of exhibits.
The parade was made up en-
tirely of Indians, dressed in the
gaudy costumes of their old-time
festival days. Indian Pete
Culbertson had charge of the In
dian program and to him belongs
a great share of the credit for
the large amount of entertain
ment afforded by our dark skin
ned neighbors from the reserva.
ton. Immediately after t h e ii
arrival at the fair grounds the
Indians proceeded with a barbe.
cue, which, although rather un'
pleasant to one with a tender
heart, showed the methods en-
pIoyed by the Indians in butcher.
ing and cooking a steer.
At two o'clock Congressman
Norton, of the third Congress
ional District of North Dakota
addressed the crowd, and his
speech, though a great dea
shorter than the majority of hi!
listeners wished it, was wei
liked by those who heard him.
Immediately after the speech
the race program was called. th'
first event being the first heat o.
the mile and a half relay race
Three entries were made in th'
race, Phil Crosse, Alfred Pike ant
Francis White Hand Bear eacl
entering a team of three horses
In this heat Pike was first will
a time of $40; Crosse. second
time 3:13; White Hand Bea
third, time 3:34. This race prov
ed to be the most exciting o
the entire program as at n
stage could the winner be picked
The riders all displayed cleve
work in the handling of thei
horses and changed from one t.
the other with amazing rapidity
The next event was the mil
ladies' race. Two heats wer
RIM and in both Mrs. Black Fo.

The next event was one tina

leaps and bounds he lands in Au-

Baptist Convention which was
organized in IS45 in Augusta Ga.

We really feel embarrassed to ap-
proach the subject. But when
one has the brazen effrontry 70
pose himself as leader OF the
Baptist denomination and the
race and can only be that by mis-
representing ia cts, which is cal.
culated to mislead the uninioi m
ed it is time that some one should
call him 10 a halt before the
churches and the reading pub ic
as well. What are the facts in
the case. The truth OF the
matter is that The Southern Bap-
tist Convention that the editor
says have been hostile TO our pto
pie send that day (I945) now Co
operate with the "l oloitC Ma :

Operating on this order for years.
And in the last convention which
met IN Houston in May, the
Convention voted their approval

Memphis Tenn, by a committee
appointed by The Southetn and
National Cont ntlons The
Southern Baptist Convention has
pIedged herself TO contribute
fifteen thousand dollars tot the t

calls going into the Southern
Baptist Convention. He also
calls the class of regular Mission
ary Baptist that approves Of, the
church federation, open commun-
ion, alien and free will ordination
so densely ignorant or such an
alien to the truth tho it may be
both that he seeks TO show the
show the Southern Baptist Con-
vention and the National Baptist

he should know that all the

that cooperate with the National
Baptist Convention are in hearty
