the coming of the railroad to Nc
Cone county. Seldom, if ever has

ored by good weather and good
roads, and the little county seat
town which has made rapid
growth in the past year. was liter
ally engulfed by its guests and
their conveyances. About so cars
went from Wolf Point and hun
dred from Vida. Few places with

The program for the day had
been planned on a liberal scale
and was carried out with COM
mendable success. The big event
of the forenoon was the arrival of
the first passenger train ever to
traverse the Redwater valley. The
long train of Northern Pacific
coaches was packed with people
from Glendive and other points
both nearer and farther away.
NJ. P. Gave Aid
The Northern Pacific railway
did it's full part in assisting Circle
to put the big affair over and do
If right. The company had built
an immense bowery that served as
an auditorium for the speaking
and floor for the big public
dance. A large troupe of colored
musicians was on hand to enter
tain the public and furnish music.
The Pageant
After the arrival of the train,
which was greeted by thousands
of people who crowded about the
site where the new depot is being
constructed, the parade was form
ed. This could more properly be
termed a pageant, the passing OF
the old West. This was headed
by Geo. McCone in his scout uni
form of beaded buckskin, followed
| by a band of Fort Peck Indians
Next came an old stage coach OF
type similar to those used IN the
'7O's between the Black Hills and
Bismarck On the drivers seat
were ]. w. Bishop of Hambl1n
and ]. L. Champlin, both of them
stage drivers with long experience
in the SOS and '70's. Mr.. Champ
lin actually drove the route be-
tween Deadwood and Bismarck
during the most exciting times.
Mr.. Bishops experience was on
the early day stages in eastern
Next came chuck wagons, freigh-
ters. prairie schooners, a round up
wagon, COW boys, COW girls, fol-
owed by agricultural floats,
school and industrial floats, mod
,rn vehicles and farm machinery.
The Terry cowboy band and the
1lendive school furnished the
music. Garfield county was re-
presented in the parade by huge
,anner on which was printed "a
million and half bushels of
wheat in Garfield county in 1927

MARATHONERS
ARE DENIED USE
OF TOMLINSON
Hooters viii Be Taken to
Riverside Park to Con-
y tinue Test.

There will be no more dance
marathons in Tomlinson Hall!
Oren S. Hack, works board presi-
dent, made this announcement to-
day when the board denied Me-
mortal Post No. of the American
Legion an extension of the contract
for the city building.
The lease of the Minneapolis pro-
moters, who staged the endurance
dance contest the past month under
the Legion auspices, expires
Wednesday at 10 a. m. Promoters
announced the five remaining
couples will be loaded on truck
to dance" their way to Riverside
park, where the marathon will con-
tinue.
Rented for Dance
Tomlinson hall was leased for a
month at $35 a day with the belief
that all couples would be eliminated
in that time. The board denied
continuance of the rental because
j. H. Westf1eld, II E. Thirty -seventh
street, has rented the building for
Wednesday night to stage a Hal
loween dance for the Bruce Robin
son Legion post.
The Democratic state committee
has obtained the hall for a speech
Of Frank G. Daley, candidate for
Governor, Saturday night. The
legionaires agreed to pay rent on
the Armory if the Daley meeting
could be transferred. 1t was re-
ported that WeStfield wanted $500
for his option on the hall Wednes-
day evening.
Speakers in the Legion delegation
before the board said that the post
is under moral obligation" to con-
tinue the marathon until winners
are decided. The public is demand
ing it" they said, citing the 10000
attendance.
Gideon Blaine, Democratic attor-
ney, who recently was named on
Mayor L. Ert Stacks boxing COM
mission, pleaded with the works
board to grant an extension.
Like Cruelty to Animals!
"I don't think it was the inten-
ton that municipal buildings be
used a long period for money-mak-
ing propositions. They should get
a private hall. We represent al
types of citizens" said Oren S.
Hack, works board president.
IF anyone announced he was 60
ing to drive a horse around the
street until it fell over with ex-
haustion an officer would be along
in a few hours and arrest him for
cruelty to animals. The public
would be highly incensed over such
an humanitarian act. Of course
people will go see such things"
Hack said.
Ernest F. Frick, works board sec
rotary, said he had denied per-
mission for four other marathon
contests in TomlinSon hall.
City officials received numerous
protests against continuance of the
use of Tomlinson hall for such
events.
