BIG AUCTION DROWNED
OUT ON SATURDAY
/. Postponed Until Thursday Evening
Hundreds of Articles Will be
Added to the List

One of the greatest events in the
history OF our city was planned for
Saturday evening. 1t was realized
that in order to give the Red Cross
campaign a boost, something must be
done out of the ordinary and the men
in charge, were equal to the occasion.
d. 9. Everest and M. G. Ewing and
others arranged for an auction to
come off at the county square. 1t was
only a few hours, after it was an
nounced, before articles commenced
to be listed for the great event and by
Saturday afternoon there was auto
mobiles, carriages, loads of wood,
shingles, live stock and a thousand
useful things from homes and the
stores. 1t was the plan to have a
sufficient number of auctioneers to
sell everything on hand in very short
time and this would have been done
only for the rain.
The program was to have a parade
starting from the Y. M. G. A., at 7:45
p. m. This came off on schedule time.
Headed by the band, two hundred
Red Cross workers, all in white,
marched as we'll as ambulance COM
panles; P. V. o. Van Vechten carrying
the stars and stripes, Boy Scouts, K. c.
Cadets, and large number of men ac-
tive in the Red Cross campaign, car
rying banners. The line of march
was south on Third to Forest, east
on Forest to Fifth, north on Fifth,
to Scott and west on Scott to the court
house sqoare. The sale started off
with rush. There were five plat
70 hIrfI L.
Mark &. Bells, l.. H. Wheeler, G. R.
Bennett and G. w. Phillips. Rain
commenced to fall before the parade
reached the county square, just
sprinkle, but in few moments there
were flashes of lightning and thunder,
which opened up a deluge and the rain
came down in torrents and everybody
had to seek cover and all perishable
articles had to be placed in out of
the wet. Thus ended the Saturday
nights sale, to the great disappoint-
ment of all concerned and the public
in general. Had the weather been
favorable it would have been a pro-
nounced success. Candy and flowers
were sold by young ladies, concerts
given at the Bells house and from
these alone an amount aggregating
over $3.50 was turned into the Red
Cross.
1t has been decided to continue the
auction sale on Thursday afternoon
and evening. The same auctioneers
will be on hand and besides the i'm
mense number of things already for
sale, and people are asked to donate
any salable article they care to give
to the Red Cross for this auction.
Telephone 1143 and the articles will
be sent for.
