Fourth of July Celebration

The Fourth of July celebration in Nome went off with @ "bang" in more ways than one. Due to threatening rain, the morning ex ercises were held at the school auditorium, after which all the kids in town were treated to free ice cream cones and candy.
 The races and other athletic contests were held during the af- ternoon, the rain holding off until late in the day. It is reported some persons were arrested for setting off fire crackers in the city limits.
 The day ended with a dance at the school auditorium. More than 200 people, more or less in cos tune, attended the dance. It is believed that many came to see and hear the Texas Wranglers ''do their stuff" This orchestra has never before performed in Nome and there was much com- ment on the excellence of the music provided zy Milton O'Far- rel at the piano and Bud Abbey with the drums. When Loren B. Leech of the United States Wea- ther Bureau filled in on several numbers with his sax, the dane CTS were indeed enthusiastic. We heard that Milt was an accom- plished pianist.
