The l^ogaa County Anti-Horse
Thief Association had a great turn-
out in Guthrie Wednesday. The
street parade was one mile long,
consisting of riders, carriages and
automobiles, lead by the Mineral
Wells Band. At the noon hour a
sumptuous basket dinner was spread
in the pavillion and on tables under
the trees in Mineral Wells park, and
everybody present, city folks and
country folks, were invited to eat.
All the while the band discoursed
music. After the dinner Judgq
J. C. Strang and John Golobie made
short welcome addresses.
Then the crowd repaired to the
baseball park where the prize con-
tests took place. The boys foot
race was won by Tommy Morris,
first prize, $1.50; John Cherry sec-
ond. $1.00; Willie Stewart, third, 50c.
