THEY WERE ALL HERE
By Far the Largest Crowd in the
History of the Town Was Here
Friday to See Boys Leave
for Camp Funston.

! Last Friday Butler entertained the
largest crowd in its history. and it
has seen some crowds. Taft day last
fall established record for crowds
that it was supposed would stand for
a long time, but the crowd Friday
was much larger than on that occas-
ion. The boys who were going to
war were from every corner OF the
county and every one OF them had
relatives and friends present to bid
him God speed on the start of his
journey to Berlin
The weather was pleasant, the
roads were good and ii was the regu-
lar night for the band concert and all
of these things did something
towards bringing record breaking
crowd. At the band concert that
night the streets. court house yard,
and the stores that were open were
packed with embryo soldiers. their
swecthearts, relatives. friends and
square were parked so full OF auto
mobiles that only small passage
way was left and 500 many OF them
were at the depot that it was impos-
sible to get within several blocks of
there at 10 O'Clock, nearly two hours
before the train was scheduled to ar
rive.
When the boys started to the. sta
tion it was almost impossible for
them to get near enough to take the
train which was held here for half
an hour while the boys forced their
way through the packed throng
Some, who wanted to get on the train
were picked up and put through the
windows, as it was practically inn
possible to get to the steps OF the
cars.
One OF the most noticeable things
about the crowd was that there was
no disturbance, no drunks and no ac-
cidents OF any sort. Barring those
who were soon to part from loved
ones and were feeling rather sad, but
at the same time proud, it was a hap
py good natured crowd and it will be
a long time before Butler has anoth
er one like it.
