AUTO COLLlDES WITH HORSE
SUNDAY AND BREAKS LEG

An accident, which proved serious
to all parties concerned, occurred at
the north end of the river bridge,
when an auto driven by j. N. Schnake
of Lodge Pole, collided with saddle
horse belonging to Harry Gilchrist
and which was ridden by his son Will
liam
From reports, it seems as though
Mr.. Schnake was exceeding the speed
limit while crossing the bridge, thus
making it impossible to make the
sharp turn at the end of the bridge.
and striking the horse ridden by the
Gilchrist boy, breaking the left hind
leg which necessitated the shooting of
the animal. The car was also some
wha: damaged from the collision, but
Mr.. Schnake realizing that he was in
the wrong, settled all difficulties by
paying for the horse, which was high
ly priced by Mr.. Gilchrist as sad
die horse.

PLAYS HERE SUNDAY

The Ogalalla base ball team will
play at Riverside Park in this city
net Sunday afternoon. The Ogallala
boys have been defeated once this
year by Julesburg, and they are COM
ing here to try and turn the tables
Ogallala has some good material for
a good base ball team, and by this

But it must be remembered that
the Julesburg boys are almost invinc-
ible, having nice string of consecu-
tive victories to their credit How

give our boys good contest and
make things interesting.
Go out to Riverside Park next Sun

WARNING! DO NOT BUY
COURT PLASTER OF VENDOR

The following article is sent to US
by the Newman Grove (Nebr.) Re-
porter and we are glad to publish the
same, as warning to the people of
this community:
Residents throughout this, and 9th.
er states are warned not to purchase
court plasters or other medicaments
from vendors at their doors. The
warning was issued by sheriff Micha-
ell Clark of Omaha after he had been
advised that agents of one of the most
diabolical plots ever Matched in brain
of man have been selling through Ne
braska and Iowa, courtplasters that
have been oculated with the bacillus
of leprosy.
Details of what may prove to be
the most infamous of all projects of
wars frightfulness are slowly coming
to light through dispatches from a
great many scattered points. Only a
few weeks ago one of these court
plaster vendors worked N ew m n
Grove, many of our business men
buying. At Council Bluffs peddler
was placed under arrest Friday eve
ming, and his stock sent to the Iowa
State chemist for analysis.
ut is hardly conceivable" said
Sheriff Clark, "that such thing can
be, but in view of the reports from
Sioux City, Council Bluffs, as well as
from Dakota City, Nebr., where such
warnings have already been issued,
feel it my duty to warn the people
that the place to secure medicine,
bandages or other applications for in
jury or illness is in drug store Of
known repute.

Judge Burke in this city There was
only one case to be tried, that of the
Estate of Barton VS.. Mary Smiley, an
action brought for the purpose of con-
testing the will of the late Ned Bar
ton, deceased

summoned to appear, and all indica-
tIons pointed to hard fought legal
battle. The special venire of jurors
which was drawn at the June 18th
term, were ordered to appear, and a
jury of six was selected to try the
case. One witness was put on the
stand during the forenoon. In the
afternoon an agreement was reached
between the parties of both sides to
compromise in the matter and what
had promised to be a long drawn out
case, suddenly came to an end The
compromise resulted in the amount
of $4,000 being given the contestants
as settlement in the matter.
This case was appealed from the
county court, and has attracted con-
siderable attention in this section.
The law firm of Stowe, Slower & Sea-
man, of Ft. Collins, represented the
Barton Estate and Munson 4 Munson
of Sterling, and Roy 7. Johnson of

CHAUTAUQUA IS
A BIG SUCCESS
After a Successful Week in our
City the Chautauqua Clos
ed Their Excellent Pro-
gram Sunday Night

The Julesburg Chautauqua closed
last Sunday night, when the Mauna-
kea Hawaiians, who gave a full con-
cert that evening to large crowd.
The chautauqua was a successful one,
both financially and entertainment.
On Friday afternoon V. S. Watkins
gave dramatic reading entitled
Bought and Paid For" This enter
tainment, was highly pleasing.
The Melting Pot was given on Fri
day evening to large audience, and
the play met the approval of all who
attended, the cast of characters con-
sisting of first-class actors and ac-
tresses. The chautauqua superintend-
ent made the announcement during
the evening that the crowd present,
was the largest they had had thus
far this year. The entertainment was
first-class in every particular
The National Quartet, featuring
Charley Cox and George Tack, were
on the program Saturday, giving a
full concert in the afternoon and a
prelude in the evening. Alton Pack
ard, cartoonist and lecturer, was on
the program in the evening, and gave
splendid entertainment. Mr.. Pack
ard was one of the best features of
the chautauqua, and no doubt would
draw a good crowd should he return
to Julesburg.
Sunday afternoon the Hawaiians
gave short entertainment, being
followed by lecture by Robert Lyle
Finch, his subject being Shifting
Gears. Mr.. Finch's lecture was one
of the best we have heard, and the
message he delivered to our people
was most instructive. His lecture
was inspiring and full of good sound
logic. 1t dealt along community in
terest lines and all those who failed
to hear Mr.. Finch missed a rare
treat.
The program furnished by the Red
path-Horner people was first-class,
and a contract has been signed by a
number of our citizens for a chau-
tauqua to be held in Julesburg next
year. The chautauqua carries with it
highly educational features, and we
are glad to note that this community
will have the opportunity of witness
ing a chautauqua in our city during
the summer of 1918.

JULESBURG PLAYS RINGS
AROUND THE ILIFF TEAM

On last Sunday the Tiff base ball
team visited our city for the purpose
of playing our boys game of base
bail. but the brand of base ball the
Tiff team put up was anything but
first-class. 1t was another one of
those farce-comedes enacted on the
base ball diamond. the Julesburg boys
playing rings around the Tiff aggre-
cation.
1t was long drawn-out game, and
uninteresting to the large crowd that
was in attendance. The final score
resulted in Julesburg chalking up
score of about 10, while the Tiff
bunch managed to get three tallies.
Beam was on the pitchers mound for
the local team and pitched good
brand of ball, having the opposing
team at his mercy at all times.

CHILDREN GIVE
CIRCUS PARADE
Little Folks March Through
City in Circus Parade Last
Saturday Morning-Cir-
Gus Held at Tent

A street parade of the little folks
was the center of attraction on our
main business streets last Saturday
morning, the parade being held in con-
nection with the children's Circus,
which was held at the chautaupua tent
Immediately following the street par
ade. The parade was under the di-
rection of Miss Kit:el, in charge of the
children's department of the Redpath
Horner Chautauqua, this lady being
assisted by Miss Laura Labaree of this
city.
The paradywas formed at the chau-
tauqua tent at ten o'clock in the morn
ing, and marched from the tent down
Cedar street. Clowns, horseback
riders, Wild West, elephants, monkeys,
ostrich. giraffes, wild animals, snake
char e4,, trained dogs, japanese tight
rope walkers, acrobats. etc-all that
in the big demonstration. The parade
was one of merit and the children
took their respective parts in splen-
did style.
After the parade had returned to
the chautauqua tent, the circus per-
formance was in order. A fair sized
crowd was in attendance to witness
the entertainment. The program con-
sisted of music by the circus band,
exhibition of trained dogs and wild
animals, performance by the snake
charmers, tight rope walkers, wax
dolls, capers by the clowns, flag drill,
Red Cross ambulance, etc. Miss Ola
Jeffers presided at the piano and Mrs.
L. E. Petersen sang during the flag
drill, which was participated in by
small girls, about twenty-five in num-
Der.
An admission of five and ten cents
was charged to the circus and half of
the proceeds were donated to the To-
cal playground fund. The children
received much enjoyment out of the
occasion, having made preparations
for the event during the Children's
Hour each morning of the chautauqua.
Although the time was short, the pro-
gram was carried out in good shape,
and the children are to be commended
in the manner in which they pulled
! off the numerous Stunts.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1917-07-05


in Julesburg has come and gone, and
today there are hundreds of tired and
worn-out people, who came early and
stayed late taking in the celebration.
Never in the history of Julesburg--
(this fact being vouched by oldest
residents) did our city have so many
visitors. 1t is estimated that ther1
were eight thousand people here, and
it was some crowd. They commencad
to arrive early in the morning, and
it was continual stream of vehicles
of all sorts coming into Julesburg
for several hours. 1t is estimated that
there were about 1000 automobiles,
parked in the various sections of the
town. The crowd was beyond the ex-
pectations of all.
At $50 in the morning the Jules
burg Concert Band formed milne at
the court house and marched down
through the main business streets to
the intersection of Cedar and Front
streets, where they played number
of pieces. A large crowd had already
gathered and the band did its best
to start the ball to rolling in good
shape. At ten o'clock the aerial ar
tist, S. w. Gates of Denver, gave a
Free exhibition by walking a tight
wire which had been stretched from
the top of the First National Bank
building to the top of the H. o. Wig
gins store building. This perform
ance was repeated at $50 in the eve
ming, this time using a display of
fireworks. Mr.. Gates is an expert in
his line and was perfectly at home
in mid-air doing his various stunts.
A "Rube" band appeared on the
scene about this time and dispersed
of few pieces, and we will have to
admit that they were "rubes" as far
as their furnishing much entertain
ment They had represented them
selves to the committee to be first
class attraction-but couldn't or at
least didn't deliver the goods"
At II o'clock the Juleshurg Concert
Band led the way to the speakers
platform, which had been erected in
the city park. Seats had also been
arranged and everything made as
convenient as possible. Rev. W. r..
Galley, pastor of the Methodist
church, introduced the speaker. Hon.
J. S. Hoagland of North Platte, who
delivered very stirring patriotic ad-
dress to large number of people.
At 1:15 p. m. the Julesburg band
marched from the court house down
town and played a number of selec-
tions before going over in front Of
the Brown Hotel, where the parade
was forming. At 1:45 Harry Spill
man, marshal of the day, leading,
followed by Mayor w. NJ. Hileman's
auto, the parade started and wended
its way up Cedar street to the Meth
odist church and going one block
west, turned back south to the Jules
burg House, thence to the H. o. Wig
gins corner and from there to the
fair grounds where the afternoons
program was held.
Three prizes were offered for the
best decorated floats in the parade,
the first being awarded to H. o. Wig
gins; second to the Royal Neighbors,
and the third to Parker Bros.
The largest crowd that ever visit
ed the fair grounds had gathered by
the time the parade had reached the
grounds, there being solid mass of
automobiles lined up around the en-
tire length of the race track, it be-
ing estimated that there was in the

BAND CONCERT WILL NOT BE
HELD SUNDAY AFTERNOON

There will be no band concert next
Sunday afternoon on account of the
fact that the band has already had
one strenuous day this week, and it
was thought advisable that the boys

The week following there will in all
probability be a concert, these enter
tainments being highly appreciated
by the people of this community.

TWAS A REAL PARADE:
LANCASTER TURNED OUT IN
FORCE AND FLAGS WERE EV-
ERYWHERE- 1000 IN LINE.

That Lancaster can march for "Old
Glory was shown emphaticalIy last
Friday afternoon when 1000 or more
marched from Ryland Park south on
Madison street and around the square
two times to the band stand where
the lines broke and the crowds stopped
to hear the address of the day. There
was nothing formal about this par
ade-the only requisite being a flag
and loyalty An abundance of both
existed and as a consequence the par
ade was most successful
The parade led off with the Lam
caster band followed by the Boy
Scouts and the G. A. r. veterans.
Then came the w. r. C. and follow
ing were the school children and the
various fraternal orders. The parade
was half mile in length and full of
marchers and enthusiasm. 49,
Flora came in strong to the parade
with big barge loaded with school
children and their parents. The flag
was in evidence at all points and the
Flora float was given a rousing cheer
on all sides.
