(From Tuesday's daily.)
The roping and broncho riding
scheduled as Hugo's Fourth of July
celebration was pulled, off at Wright
Park before a crowd of 1,000 people,
all of them full of enthusiasm and
spirit. The show led off with some ex-
hibition riding followed by some clev-
er rope work by Little Roy and Thorn-
as Prlvett, sons of Booger Red, the
proprietor of the Booger Red Wild
West Show and Circus, now in the
city. The roping entries consisted of
seven aspirants for the money. The
work was pretty slow and not in any
way comparable to that of the big
contest of last fall. Purses were hung
for the amounts of $50, $35, $15 and
$7. The contestants were Jim Spring,
John Hart, C. G. Lee, Tubby Walker,
Zeno Spring, W. O. Wilkins and John
Kendrlcks the winner of the meet last
fall. Jim Spring won first money in
one minute and thirty seconds with
Tubby Walker second in the slow
time of 2:59. None of them were able
to catch their steer in two throws or
their tie didn't stick. The result left
third and fourth money still banging
so Lon Wright, the manager of the
affair agreed to let them all go in for
third and fourth by paying in an-
other fee of two and one half dollars,
the first fee being $7.00. The result
was the same. Jim Spring winning In
1:40 and Tubby Walker following In
2:56. Lee made a rope and tie in 60
seconds but after the Judge had ex
amined the steer the animal kicked
loose and rose to his feet, thus for-
feiting for Lee.

SOCIAL EVENTS
f
Rain at Messer.
J. R. Rhodes of Messer was in the
city today on business and when seen
by the Husonian man stated that his
community was visited by a splendid
rain late Sunday afternoon. Although
the corn crop is already badly injur-
ed it is thought that the rain will help
it mightily. Cotton is in fine condi-
tion so far.
Campbell Hands in Opinion.
Muskogee, Okla., July 1.—Federal
Judge Ralph E. Campbell, In an opin-
ion tiled Thursday, holds that lands
Inherited by fuilblood Indians from
deceased allottees can be transferred
without the approval of the secretary
of the Interior. This is a contrary
opinion to that of Attorney General
Wickersham, who gave an opinion
that in cases where the ancestor had
died before May 27, 1908, the approval
of the secretary of the Interior was
necessary.
Attempt to Wreck No. 6.
A report came to the city late yes-
terday afternoon that an attempt was
made by unknown parties to wreck
passenger train No. 6. which left this
city for the north at 1:47, near Tali-
hina, by placing a number of crops
ties on the track. The train was run-
ning at a high rate of speed but the
obstruction was placed so that the
engineer could see in time to stop his
train before any Bericuis damage was
done.. The parties who attempted
the atrocious crime were not found.
Good Time at Bearden.
Many Hugo folks spent ttie Fourth
of July at Bearden SpringB and from
the reports given out the day was
very pleasantly spent. About four
hundred people gathered at that beau-
tiful 8pot for the purpose of celebrat-
ing the anniversary of the declaration
of American Independance. A good
program had been arranged and was
carried out nicely. In the forenoon
the days program was opened by
speech on the subject of good roads
by W. E. Schooler, president of the
Good Roads association. Next came
Hon. R. L. Evans, who made a mas-
ter speech on why we celebrate the
fourth of July. M. W. Gross delivered
a splendid address on consolidated
rural high schools. After which ad
journment was taken until in the af-
ternoon when U. G. Phippen, presi
dent of the Oklahoma State Bank, de-
livered a powerful and forceful ad
dress on the subject of Christian edu-
cation. The addresses were well re-
ceived and were listened to by a large
crowd.
Mrs. J. A. Kirksey of that place
presided in the chair and introduced
the speakers to the audience.
At the noon hour a dinner was
spread which was truly in keeping
with the reputation of the Bearden
Spring citizenship for after all had
partaken of the good things there was
enough left to satisfy many times
the number that were there.
The day passed • off without a sin
gle accident or Incident that would
mar the pleasure of those present
and all who attended will long re-
member the picnic at Bearden Springs
on July 4th, 1911.
Involuntary Balloon Ascension.
Treynor, Iowa. July 3.—Ranso
Jones, an 18-year-old boy of Treynor
while watching a balloon ascension
was caught in the ropes and descend
ed with the balloon three miles fron.
Treynor, he was uninjured.
Jones started up feet foremost, but
soon managed to grasp the rope with
his hands, turn himself about and
twist his legs around the rope. In this
manner he held on, even when the
aeronaut cut loose in a parachute
and the balloon took a great leap up-
ward.
When the air in the balloon had
cooled off it came to earth and Jones
helped to roll it up for carriage back
to Treynor.

DIED PROM HEART TROUBLE.
Marry M. Isaacson Dies in Jacksoa
Street House Suddenly.
Harry M. Isaacson, an insurance
agent, died at 8:45 last night at the
residence of Mrs. W. D. Lester, from
an attack of heart trouble. His death
was very sudden as during the day he
had felt very well.
Mr. Isaacson came to Hugo four
weeks ago with his wife and entered
the insurance field here. He was the
representative of the National Life
Insurance Co. He was born fifty-two
years ago in New Orleans, where he
has lived the greater part of his life.
His father was for years employed in
the subtreasury of the United States
in that city.
He is survived by his wife, a son R.
M. and a daughter with two children,
Mrs. John McHenry of New Orleans.
The son is an undertaker in Oklahoma
City; he arrived here for the funeral
this noon.
Mr. Isaacson was a Catholic but
will not be burled by the church as
there is no local church here. He was
a man who seemed to be a friend mak-
er to the few who knew him here.
The funeral will probably be at Mt.
Olive cemetery tomorrow morning.
D. C. Mclntyre Home.
D. C. Mclntyre returned to Hugo
todny after a six weeks sojourn in
Contact, Nevada, where he is promot-
ing a copper mine as readers of the

Mclntyre reports fine success with his
project. He says that $100,000 smelter
and power plant are being installed
near the properties of the mine he is
Interested in and seems well pleased
with the outlook.

here today on business before the
commissioners court.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. A. J. Kel-
ler very charmingly entertained with
bridge and forty-two in honor of Miss
Louie Abbott of McKinney, Texas,
guest of Miss Pauline Keller. The
entire house was gorgeously decorat-
ed in red, white and blue, apropos of
the Fourth. Potted plants and cut
flowers in red and white added
softening touch to the blazing red,
white and blue. Refreshing fruit
punch was served on the porch as
the guests entered, by Georgia Mc-
Glasson and Edith Keller, with the
hostess and honor guest stood Miss
Pauline Keller, Mrs. 0. A. Simmons,
Mrs. Goldman, Mrs. Durrum. Mrs
Tom Allen was the lucky bridge play-
er and was given a beautiful cut glass
bon bon dish. Mrs. Pollard was the
fortunate forty-two player, and was
given a beautiful cut glass spoon tray.
The honor guest received lovely silk
hose. An elaborate ice course was
served at the close of the afternoon
CLARKESVILLE'8 NEW ROAD.
No New Developments—Afraid Hugo
Will Pass it up.
The following clipping was taken
from the Clarkesville Times:
According to statement made pub-
lic no communication has been had
with the officials of the Port Bolivar
Iron railway since the last report of
TheTimes. Several reports have been
circulated on the streets with refer-
ence to the comiiig of the road, one
of which wa. to the effect that the
people c. Hugo are of the opinion that
tie line will not touch that town and
for this reason have been induced to
subscribe liberally to the Hugo North-
western, a recently proposed line to
Lehigh from that point.
It is known that several delays
have been unavoidably encountered
by the Iron Ore builders and more
definite announcement concerning the
construction of the road to Clarksville
is expected within the near future.
Shelving Falls in Grocery.
This morning about nine o'clock the
shelving all along the south wall of
Dud Nixon's Grocery fell and spilled
pickles, canned goods, etc. on the
floor, damaging the stock to the ex-
tent of about $30. No one happened
to be near the shelving at the time,
and consequently no one was hurt.
The accident was caused by over load-
ing of the shelves, which gave way
under the sheer weight of the goods.
The shelves are being replaced this
afternoon. *" • *

A family reunion was had at thA
Clegg home yesterday, eight of the
