munity picnics of the present season
was that held in Bennett grove. on
Lost Creek, In the Leo section Of
the county. last Sunday, which was
not only attended by a surprisingly
large number of the residents OF that
region but by many guests from
Hanna, Rawlins and other places,
who were royalty entertained by the
hospitable people who reside there.
The affair vas conceived and put
into execution by Mr.. and Mrs. An
drew Kortes, upon whose property
the picnic was held, and who are
principally responsible for its sue
cess, ably assisted by several Of their
friends, almost toe numerous to
mention although several deserve,
and will receive recognition. There
was Tom Butler, of Hanna. who was
the spot the night before and with
Bob Cardwell performed the rites Of
barbecue over the remains OF a fat
young yearling provided by the
Kortes family.
John Campbell was chief Of the

that he was showered with praise,
: and John Milliken. another promin-
ent Hannaite, assisted in making a
success Of the racing and wild west
: events and acted as judge, starter or
stakeholder, whenever and wherever
his services we're needed, and Glenn
Coen acted rs chairman Of the re-
'ception committee. The rather
tortuous route to the scene of the
picnic, which was new to most Of the
visitors, had been carefully marked
by Messrs. Butler and Cardwell, with
small American flags, so that nobody
lost their way.
A. Bountiful Feed
The picnic took place in a shady
grove beside a crystal trout stream,
where tables we're placed which acted
as distribution points for the good
things to eat, which were provided
in prodigal abundance and variety.
First there was the barbecued calf,
tender and delicious. followed by an
array of trimmings" which not only
taxed the capacity of the hungry
crowd, but in such number as to tax
the memory in endeavoring to re-
count them. There were "spuds."
coffee with cream that was cream,
pickles, jam, preserves. fresh country
butter. home-baked bread, sand
,wiches, rolls, cheese and cake of
every known variety. Then the COT
fee, which was in q class by itself.
should be mentioned separately.
Races for All
Following the bountiful repast
were the races and sporting events,
which took place on q half-mile
track, specially prepared by Mr..
Kortes. These consisted for the
most part OF cowpeny and horse races
and buckiug contests and the win
ners were rewarded with prizes
furnished By T. H. Butler, of Hanna.
Besides these there were some foot
c for all classes of runners, boys,
girls. old men and young men. There
no old women present, SO NO
rscs could be put on in this class.
They have some regular bucking
horses out In that part Of the coun-
~ and some OF these should be
found among those present at the
next Rawiins Rodeo, as they are
plenty bad" for q wider field of
usefulness. The first half-mile race
was won BY VIM. Warburton; Roy
Cardwsal. second. The next race for
the same distance, Clarence Steven
