the team to the sugar city. and are
confident that it will take more thas

the fast-going Cubs.
There's a pitcher down at Sterling

ably informed will do the twirling
act next Sunday for Sterling. and
the Sterling fans are banking on
Wells to turn the trick. But-well

VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT
Is VITAL NEED FOR PROP
Err FIRE PROTECTION HERE
MEETING WILL BE HELD NEXT TUESDAY EVENING
JULY 9Th. FOR PURPOSE OF ORGANIZING: A
LARGE ATTENDANCE is REQUESTED

There is nothing more important
to a community than adequate fire
protection and this fact has been
brought to the attention Of the citi-
zens of Julesburg during the past two
weeks. especially so on alcount of the
numerous fires which have taken
place.
At the present time there is no
regularly volunteer Fire Department
in Julesbure. or at least, II there is
such an organization. IL is not active.
Upon several occasions an effort has
heen made to organize Volunteer
Fire Department during the past two
or three years. but nothing has ma
terialized thus far-the interest has
been lacking.

YOUNG MAN IS SUDDENLY
KILLED AT KIMBALL WE'D

A sad accident occurred Wednesday
afternoon, when Fred johnson, the Is
year-old son of Mr.. Ellis johnson, was
suddenly killed at a ranch near KIM
ball, Nebr.
The young man had gone out in the
pasture to bring some cattle in shortly
after noon. When he did not return,
at about five o'clock his father be-
coming uneasy, began a search. The
boy was found in the pasture with
his neck broken, and it is supposed
that he was thrown off the horse
which he was riding.
The young man was we'll known
in Julesburg, having formerly been
a resident here, and nephew Of
Messrs. Finley. Robert and Fred
Dye of this city. The remains will be
brought to Julesbure this evening and

HARVEST OF LARGE GRAIN CROP
COMMENCED this WEEK AND
FARMERS ARE JUBILANT
THOUSANDS OF BUSHELS OF GRAIN WILL SOON NOV
ING TO MARKET; SEDGWICk COUNTYS FERTILE
sOII. RESPONSIBLE FOR BUMPER CROPS

The harvest of the biggest grain
crop in history will soon commence
in Sedgwick county and the territory
adjacent, in fact in a. number of in
stances the harvesting has been COM
menced, and others are making pre-
parations to start the last of this
week and the first of next. One case
brought to our attention where the
cutting of the wheat has been started
is Emil Samuelson, who lives about
five miles south of Julesburg, he
starting the ball to rolling last Tues
day, probably being one of the first.
One has only to make trip out in
the country near Julesburg to note
the splendid fields of grain. which will
yield thirty to forty bushels on the
average. Conditions have been just
right coincident with the abundance Of
moisture followed by ideal growing
weather, and the farmers in this sec
tion have just right to feel jubilant
over the coming added prosperity,
which is sure to be theirs as reward
for their labors and foresight in cast
ing their lot in fertile Sedgwick
county.
Within the next week work will be
on in full blast by our farmers, and
the opening up of a veritable granary
will be we'll under way. A harvest
scene will be in evidence which will
equal that of anywhere, and surpass
large number of agricultural sec
tions where the price of land is more
than double that for which Sedgwick
county land may be obtained.
The man who has invested here has
no regrets, but instead feels fortu-
nate that he has done 50 and is shar-
ing the prosperity so prevalent here.
We heard citizen remark the 9TH
er day, that after having made a tour
Of inspection over Sedgwick county
and noting the glowing and splendid
crop conditions, one indeed could
truthfully call this "Out Where the
West Begins-In the Midst Of Gar
den Spot" Prosperity and progress
are in the limelight here, which are
the fundamental factors for the sue
cess responsible to the citizens of this
section The wheels of industry are
revolving at rapid gait, and future
development is assured to 60 forward
~ leaps and bounds.

TOLEDO PICKS JESS WILLARD
AS THE FAVORITE FIGHTER

Toledo, July, 2.-Jess Willard will
enter the ring on Friday ten to eight
favorit, over Jack Dempsey. Demp-
sey is very popular, but it is much
easier to find Willard sympathizers
who are backing their choice with
real money than to find Dempsey men
of the same type.
Both fighters chose their own
time keepers today, Willard selecting
Ed. Cochran, Kansas City sporting
editor, and Dempsey picking Joe
Bannon Of New York.
Promoter Tex Rickard today paid
to the Toledo boxing commission $780,
900. which is part of the seven percent
of the proceeds Of the fight which win
go to Toledo charities.

was running over, there being no
fault in the pumping facilities.
The direct reason for the low pres-
sure Of water at the nozzle end Of the
hose was on account of the long line
of hose being required to reach TIE
burning building and the leaky Joints
or couplings, letting considerable Va.
ter escape along the line. With an
active Volunteer Fire Department
there would be more efficiency IN
the care Of the fire equipment, and no
doubt this organization woul dreceive
the cooperation of the Town Council
in the matter of providing every ligi-
innate means for the maintenance Of
adequate fire fighting equipment.
Let us give this matter due consid-
Grafton. Julesburg is entitled to the
best there is in fire protection, and
our citizens should have an interest
in seeing an active Volunteer Fire
Department We wish to call your
attention to the fact that a meeting
will be held at the court house next
Tuesday night. July 9Th for the pur-
pose Of organizing a Volunteer Fire
Department. and it is urged that there
be good attendance. Don't forget
this meeting. w9ict is of vital i'm
portance to all Of the citizens Of

Notes

The chief topic of discussion at the
noon day luncheon Of the Julesburg
Community Club held at the Brown
hotel was that Of the county fair to
be held this fall.
The matter of securing grounds and
erecting pstmanent buildings thereon
is in thb hands of a committee.
Chairman C.. A. Reed of the commit
tee stated that the committee would
look after this matter at once and
make report to the Sedgwick Coun-
ty Fair Association.
The definite date for holding the
fair has not yet been decided upon,
but it is probable that it will be held
some time during the month of Sep
tember. Mr.. c. S. Deily has been Sc
lected as secretary of the fair. Mr..
Deily has been instructed tn find out
the dates Of other nearby fairs in or
der that the dates Of the sedgwick
county fair will not conflict with
those already set. The work of Sc
curing exhibits will soon be COM
menced. it being recommended that
the services of field man be secur-
ed to give his entire time for the next
six week or so.
Owing to the warm weather and
busy season the matter Of discontinu-
ing the luncheons until the first
Wednesday in September was dis
cussed. Upon motion, seconded and
carried, the luncheons will be dis
continued during the next two months,
to be resumed the first Wednesday in
September. Chairman Frickel stated
that all business matters of the
Julesburg Community Club would be
transacted during this period by
called meetings, and that all commit

get back into the game with renewed

things pertaining to the upbuilding
of Julesburg and community.

ment, and his absence will not be
missed by the progressive citizens
who have a heartfelt interest in see
ing the town and community In which
they live 20 forward instead OF back

lust what its citizens make it-there
is no excuse for any shortcomings,

pect few citizens to shoulder the
burden of community building-it
should be the work Of all.

of promoting a cooperative spirit
amongst the citizens Of the commun-
itv. Let's keep this organization

Before one of the largest crowds
of base ball fans that ever attended
game on the local grounds, the Cubs
last Sunday defeated the fast Ster-
ling club 8 to 5. Roy Stevenson act
ed in the capacity Of manager, owing
to the absence Of manager Smelser,
and with the assistance Of Tolly as
field captain, handled the team in
great shape. Considering the fact
that pitcher Fussell's arm has been
bothering him the past ten days, he
did very we'll. whiting fifteen Of
them. and only allowing them six
scattered hits. Timely hitting by the
locals in the 4th gave them lead that
the athletes were unable to overcome.
However they made a great try and
in the 9th. with the bases loaded,
Ducky Holmes was put up to clean
house He got a nice clean single
and scored two runners. It sure does
US good to watch an old timer like
Ducky Holmes. and see them do things
that require years Of experience and
fast thinking.
Bert Brien batted one like he al
ways does. this one for three sacks,
with Dooley Law on. Tolly got three
hits for four trips up. Going some,
we'll say. Every man on the team
got hit except Twomey. Boxy says
he is laying off because he got his in
the North Platte game
Next Sunday the Cubs play Ster-
ling at Sterling and we are looking
forward to great game and pit
cher's battle. as Fussell will be pitted
