Don't forget the ball game tomor-
row it will interest you. It will be a
hot game for supremacy. You all
know how our boys can play. Ellsworth
beat them three games last week.
Charlie Borders will be the next re

ders has the appearance of a states-
man and he will carry the county
easily.
Bill Cross addressed 3,000 people at
the Old Soldiers reunion at Indepen-

was the largest audience ever assem-
bled in Custer county. Bird McGuire
was billed to speak also, but he failed
to put in an appearance.
Bert Baldock is up from Lawton. It
is his first visit since the opening of
the new country and it took Colonel
Baldock two hours and thirteen min
nets to express his surprise at the
new things coming under his observa-
tion and the growth of the Queen
City of the Cherkee strip.
Col. J. M. Evans, Sheriff of Roger

the guest of Sheriff Porter. He
brought two jail boarders to Sheriff

■ Otto. Mtull, who were indicted for kill-

Mrs. James Curry, living northeasc
of Watonga O. T, gave birth to trip-
lets last Wednesday. They are all
i-jirls, two weighing six pounds each
and the other live and one-half pounds.
Mother and children are getting along
nicely, but some apprehension is felt
in regards to the father who is great-
ly elated over his good fortune. It is
said that about seventy-flve people
visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cur-
ry last Sunday to see the little ones.
BUSHELS OF ROSF.S
Mr.JacobSchamberggerof Henness-
ey and Miss Josie Hradecky of Bison
were united in matrimony today in
in the Probate Court loom by Judge
Shoemaker.
The happy pair of his weding wore
ever blooming rose boquets as large as
a bushel basket attached to which
were streamers of silk ribbon about
four foot long. It was Squire Shoe-
maker lirst wedding and for a time it
was uncertain whither he had tied the
happy bride to himself or the hope-
ful groom.
This, the Erst day of the celebra-
tion, was quite interesting in the
way of getting ready for the real
thing which begins tomorrow. Large
show tents were erected by the dor.en
and the dotting of the streets with
lemonade and pop corn stands was a
wonder.
Some of the shows, of the American
midway designs pitched tbeir tents
Saturday night, but they did not
open for business today.
The stand from which Bill Cross,
Bird McGuire and other orators will
taik to the people was erected on
East Broadway today.
The high divers and several other
startling features of the celebration
will be located on the west side, but
the main shows will be on Grand
Avenue, east side, and a few on
Maine street. The grand stock dis-
play will be on the north side where
a lengthy row of stock stalls have
been errcted.
Thousands of yards of bunting
adorn the fronts of the business
houses and several thousand (lags
are fluttering in the breeze. Out-
side of a little wind and dust today
the weather was fine for celebration
purposes. Enid is in holiday attire
and has the largest and most attract-
ive celebration going on ever held in
the Cherokee Strip. Welcome to
Enid; the keys are lost and the gates
are ajar; the town is yours; take it
and enjoy yourselves is the greeting
of the people of Enid to each and
every one of her visitors this week.

RAILROAD NEWS.
The D. E. A G. is graded into Mar-
shall and only a gap of about two
miles remains to be finished between
that town and Enid. The unfinished
■part is on the Skeleton about twelve
miles from the city where a very
large lill had to be put in and a large
force of men and teams hail been
workingon it for some time. A 1 rge
force of men have been working on
the bridge at this point and it is
thought that as soon as it is finished
track laying will begin at once. Ma-
terial of all kinds is in Enid and only
a short while will be required to have
trains running to Marshall.
The contract between Marshall and
the railroad company expires the last
day of October, at which time, ac-
cording to their contract, the road
must be in operation and trains run-
ning into Marshall. The Choctaw
road has forfeited the bonus subsorib-
i it ti? the Guthrie people
SHOOTING AT KINGFISHER.
A shooting affray took place at
"Rogue's Point Kingfisher between
W. S. Wilder and Charles McFarland,
a gambler. McFarland was at Wilder's
place, talking to the tatter's wife,
which caused Wilder to draw his pis-
tol and tired five • shots at his friend,
one ball passing through McFarlands
largest ear. McFarland responded
with three shots, which were wilder
than his friend's name. No complaints
were entered, but the row caused the
house to be pulled a few hours later.s
Charlie Borders is the democratic
candidate for representative. Now

The red pimpled, artificial bald
headed peter, of the boiler plate
Eagle, intimates that the Wave is
doing something wrong in running
the excellent statistical write up of
Garfield county and Enid which ap-
peal's in every issue of the Wave.
He claims that it is six years old.
The write up of any county is as old
as the county itself. It is true that
the said write up, brought up to date,
off and on, has appeared in the Wave
for six years, but it has been out of
the paper for nearly a year until re-
cently. The Wave has evidence, it
can produce, that said write up has
been a source of much good and much
convenience to the people of the
county. It is calculated to draw at
tention to this favored country
through the correspondence of its
citizenship. For instance, a friend
in any part of the world writes to a
friend here, who is a patron of the
Wave, inquiring as to the produc
tive or business outlook of the coun
ty all the person is required to do, to
amwer the enquiry, is to send a copy
of the Wavh containing said statisti-
cal write up. It answers all ques-
tions, and as it appears nearly every
day, it is always ready and at hand
and is as fresh to the reader, who
reads it the first time, as anything
could be. The Wave ventures the as-
sertion that the statistical write up,
giving the figures which make up the
prosperity ot this county is of much
more use: much more value to the
people; much more interesting to
proud and happy fellow citizens than
the lodge directory and thirty year
old boiler plate matter the Buzzard
uses for lill up. The Wave strives
to be useful to its constituents. It
don't go on the ornamental plan as
much as pete, the boiler plate stem
winder.
About 10 o'clock a. m., today, the
horse used in the delivery wagon of
the Wichita Produce Co. ran away
from near their store on Maine
street. T e boy who drives their de-
livery wagon managed to get the
lines crossed and in pulling on the bit
turned the horse in the wron direc-
tion, but still not discovering the
trouble, he pulled some more, think-
ing the horse was not minding the bit,
which turned the rig so acute that it
upset the wagon, spilling the boy out.
The upsetting scared the mare which
Is a very mild dispositioned animal,
under proper t eatment, and it start-
ed to run east on Maine to Grand,
thence north to the National Saloon,
when for some cause or other the
mare turned in toward the sidewalk
where there was a gray team stand-
ing. One of the shafts of the run-
away wagon struck one of the gray
horses in the flank in the rear of the
ribs and entered its body at least 18
inches and broke off. When the
piece of the shaft was pulled out the
horse's entrals came with it.
The runaway animal then struck
across the sidewalk and entered the
open doors of the National S loon,
leaving the wagon at the front doors
as it was too wide to enter.
The frightened animal, pushed its
head through a large pane of glass
of the' inside petition, then struck
the swinging doors of said petition
and passed on through the saloon on
gallop, not even stopping to "set
em up" to the fellows inside, but
they had all climbed up on some-
thing, some of them on top of the
bar and others on the ice chest.
The damage to the front doors«of
the place was slight and the other
breakage was trifling. The most
severe damage was to the horse that
received the shaft in the stomach;
it will probably die. The animal be-
longed to J. W. Bartlett & Son,
of this city, who were preparihg to
drive through to Chickasha today.
The loss of the horse will be severe
them as they are poor people.
The whole trouble was caused by the
boy not knowing that his lines were
crossed. The Wave has not learned
whether the boy was cross-eyed or
not.
Later—The injured horse lived
only about two hours.

that he was the first juggler of th

flashes of genius and vild debauch-
