Florence Stages Big Celebration Despite the Rain After the morning’s rain had eased Florence staged one of the greatest celebrations in the history of the town. The rain interfered with the morning’s program, and while there was a large crowd upon the streets, aside from the continuous popping of firecrackers there was not much else that was suggestive of the Fourth of July for a few hours. The Eagles had arranged a week s\carnival for Florence and the fes- rities were to have opened, yester- y morhing. For two blocks on ther side Main street was lined with ooths, where good things to eat and % irink were sold. Numerous carnival shows were to have opened, but when the rain came along the booths were closed and the doors of the shows were put up until the sun came out. During the early morning members of the executive committee of the Eagles and the citizens held a meet- ing, took a look at the sky, and then called off the carnival for the morn- ng. %n connection with the carnival, the Eagles and the Florence citizens held an excellent program of races and ath- letic sports in the little park at the south end of Main street, and a ball game in the city park. Florence people had anticipated an ® attendance of something like 10,000 visitors. Eagles and their friends from Omaha and South Omaha, Council Bluffs, Blair, Fremont and the coun- try-side were present in large num- bers and, in addition to these, large delegations of people from Omaha, neighboring towns and the country were on hand to take part in the cele- bration.

BLAST HURTS A DOZEN Omaha passed through the safest and sanest Fourth of July celebration | of a decade, Tuesday. In spite of a steady cannonading all day long, and the tremendous sale of fireworks and small explosives, not one single death resulted, and only a minimum of accidents. = At Kountze park, where thc neigh- bors gathered to set off their fire- works, twelve persons were hurt when a giant bomb exploded pre- maturel{. Of these, four were ser- iously, but not dangerously injured. They are: Earl Fitch, aged 6, of 3716 North Twentieth; Ralph Dix, 21, of Sprague hotel; George Flana- an, aged 10, of 4119 North Twenty- ourth-and Ruth Wintroub, 8 of 3902 North Nineteenth. Burned or Torn Slightly. The others were burned or torn .slightly by flying fire or wadding, but not seriously enough to require medi- cal attention. The seriously injured were taken to the Swedish Mission hospital. When the bomb exploded hundreds of persons were looking on and many had narrow escapes. Miss Lucy Miller, 1435 North Nine- teenth, was riding on a street car at Fourteenth and Howard streets when someone threw a giant cracker through the window. It exploded in her face, burning her quite seriously. She was taken home. That the Fourth-of-July casualty list shows up so much better than in former years is due to the anti- Fourth police rule, the authorities say. Effect of Ordinance. A city ordinance regulated the size of all explosives and prohibited the the sale of raw powder, and this es- pecially is regarded as one of the chief elements making for a safe and sane celebration. Mayor Dahlman’s proclamation and the appeal of Police Superintendent Kugel to parents, also had a good | effect. l Young Celebrator Works Havoe With Home _N{a:(}e Cannon In order’ to give a real war-like touch to his idea of a Fourth of July celebration, Harold Middaugh, 15 years old, 2668 Ohio street, worked diligently for several days on a home- made cannon, filled it to the muzzle with powder and ball—the ball being the ball-bearings from his roler skates —and touched ’er off. The results were even better than; the patriotic young American had ex- pected; also they would have done credit to the efforts of a European When .the smoke of - battle had cleared and the effects of the “shell fire” had been ascertained, the home of F. E. Colby, 2886 Ohio street, was found to be minus several window anes, a portion of a veranda and to ave had added to its plastering a goodly quantity of roller skate bear- ngs, “General” . Middaugh escaped un- scathed. Runker of Grand Island’ Is Winner of Auto Race Grand Island, Neb., July 5.—(Spe- cial Telegram)—The main auto race of thirty miles in the Bradstreet automobile and motorcycle contests Tuesday was won by Runker of Grand Island in a Buick in 26 minutes, forty-two seconds. The main motor- cycle race was a forty mile event and won by Ed. Fillmore with a Harley Davidson in twenty-nine minutes, His fastest lap on the two mile track was one minute, eighteen and a half seconds. During the races a platform in the quarter stretch collapsed while crowded with people and a little girl, Juanita Robinson, was caught under- neath but not seriously injured. Coming in from the grounds George Sherzberg, a painter, collided with Howard Augustine, an assistant of the race management. Sherzberg sustained a broken leg, a broken arm and received a bad cut on the fore- head. He was riding a motorcycle and Augustine was in a light motor truck. PARKS DRAW LARGE HOLIDAY CROWDS ‘‘Fourth’” Celebrators Flock to Various Recreation Places for Day's Festivities. BEACH ATTRACTS MANY Omahans who could not get into the wrestling match or Fontenelle park yesterday went to Hanscom, Riverview, Miller, Kountze, Elmwood and the other recreation spots of the park system. During the early morn- ing, when the rain drops cast a dampening pallor upon the enthusi- asm of picknickers, mary expressions of disappointment were heard. Along about the noon hour, however, a rift was observed in the sky, and at one o'clock the sun broke through | the clouds and bathed-the earth once more in a benediction of cheer. Lunch baskets were toted off to the parks,’ and there the children, mothers and fathers and beaux and belles did honor to the spirit of ‘76. Riverview beamed with activities of celebrants. The new swimming pool was a veritable mecca for those who enjoy splash, Municipal beach was crowded during the afternoon Superintendent Holt estimating the attendance at 2,500. Band Concerts Popular. Residents of the Kountze park dis- trict assembled at the park during the early evening and enjoyed a band concert and a neighborhood display of fireworks. Members of the Han- scom Park Improvementclub held their neighborhood celebration at Thirty-third and Wright streets. Groups of picknickers were apser- ved at Elmwood park. South-Siders made merry at Mandan, Spring Lake, Clear View and Highland parks. Krug park was patronized by a large crowd, many attending after the wrestling match. Music and fire- works were on the program in gen- erous quantities and qualities.

A left hook to the jaw followed by a hard right cross sent Dillon's op- ponent to the floor for the final count. The first two rounds were even, while Flynn led in the third. In the fourth the fireman went to the canvas twice { for a count of eight before Dillon X sent home the blows that won the fight. Gets Razor in Operation Before Enemy Draws Gun Everett Watts and Julius Campbell, both colored, and enemies, met yes- terday afternoon at Twenty-fourth and Lake. Watts reached for a gun, Campbell said afterward, so he just naturally slid out his razor and went to operating. He is in jail and Watts is recovering.
