W. 0. W. Social
July 4th 1910

W.0.W.2695.
There has pever been so many
peoDle attend any public meet-
ing in Crosbyton as attended the
Cream and Cake Social last Mon-
day night at the Crosbyttfn Hall.
Seats were arranged at thie three
long tables for ninety-six per1
sons antl cream diahes were pro-
vided for that number, and the
cakes were fine and stacked high
all over the tab'es. The

seat was taken and before the
program began the house was
full to overflowing, and there
were more than fifty, it is esti-
mated. had to stand in the isles.
The programme was short and
wellnrrantred, and was enjoyed
by all present. The Woodmen '
Boys gave a fruit set to the
woman bringing the most beau-
tiful cake and the prize was
awarded to Mrs. F. E. White.
"The judges were: Miss Starr
Freeman, Mrs. J. Walling, and
Miss LaRue. - It had not been
announced that a premium would
be given for the prettiest cake,
the women were not aware of
the fact until the cakes had been
turned in to the tables. If it
had been know-4 we would have
hai more ca^e* than could have
been taken care of.
At 11:00 o'clock the hall was
vacated* every one having gone
to the Ball Park where the 4th
of July fire works were ready to
begin, Here the crowd was
treated to the finest Are works
offspring caused by the close as-
sociation of a bear dance and
an educated Jackass.
Up to the third round Jeff con-
tented himself by staying awav
from the nigger and they both
seemed satisfied to da«ce around
and show off their manly forms to
the grass widdows and, the
moving picture machines, after Orleans. July l.-Kelley
these salutation and Jeff had^ac- Reddington o^Fort Wor£h, bet-
customed himself to the nigger
smell at cloae range they spent
several rounds in embracing
each other and holding on un-
til the g$ng sounded.
I#i the unlucky thirteenth Jeff
invited the nigger to hit him
by walking in with his guards
doors-j^own.-t Aforesaid invitation was
accepted by the coon and after
he had hit Jeff once it pickled
him so that he adopted the habit
on the spot and when the gong
sounded had him looking like a
small boy who had been fooling
with 80 cents worth of fire
works.
The fourteenth was a give
and take slugging matth and the
fifteenth was mostly take
as far as Jeff was" concerned
winding up by the coon hitting
him on both sides of the jaw at
the same time and knocking
him down—thats about ail there
was to the show except that
both of them got over a i hund-
thousand apiece. Thus closes
another chapter of the manly
art ctf self destruction.

Long will oe remembered the
4th of Jul* in Crosbyton. Everjr

occtired. Anvil shooting was
carried on in the afternoon by
Mr. Parks, &nd others. In fact
th^4th was a good one with us.

Fire Captain Killed

was killed aiid* three other fire-
men and' workmen injured in a
fire which destroyed a part
the Waters-Pierce Oil Compan

Lyons was buriedunder the fall-
ing walls, It was several hours
before the fire was under con-
. Tjhe store house covered

ttr known as '"Fighting Kelley,"
has returned to the United
States and says that he is glad
to be under the Stars and Stripes'
again if only for a little while.
Kelley Reddington, the big six-
footer, was born and reared in
Fort Worth, Texas, and ^'won
his spurs" as a cow puncher
about his father's ranch in Van
Zandt county, Texas, and is said
to be one of the best gunners
graduated from Uncle Sam's
navy. He is in New Orleans,
having reached this city from
the tropics where he "jest help-
ed Estrada out."
Kelley,. with his brothers,
Louis <and Jack, have served
many days in the cause of the
revolutionists who are waging a
bitter fight against Madrjz, near
Bluefields. Louis and Jack are
still in the trenches, both hand-
ling their guns as only Texans
can handle their hardware.
Fighting Kelley arrived i n
New Orleans Friday morning
aboard the United States Fruit
Company's steamship Dictator,
he having made the, trip with
Richard Sussman, consul for the
Estrada government in New Or-
leans. Just what Kelley is up to
js. not known and, what's mce,
he won't tell. "I'm here on
business and that's enough,"
was all that he would say Friday.
As Kelley shook hands with
his friends who met him he
apologized for his blackened
digits, saying the jrough handle
of the Colt's machine gun was
responsible for his hands as-
suming a shade that would bring
tears to the eyes of a member of
"La Mano Nero."
"I have tried to remove the
spots from my hands," said
Kelley, "but have not succeeded.
I guess they will, have to wear
a fellow grinds out
17,000 shots in one day it is go-
ipff some, and if I had remained
in the trenches a little longer I
•might have been able to come
back to the States and challenged

wears neither collar nor coat and
his beard of several weeks'
growth covers his face. He
looks like a backwoodsman and
his palaver stamps him as com-
ing from the Lone Star State.
He speaks Spanish, too, and
from the manner in which he
rattles it off shows his familiarity
with the little republics. His
Spanish is not the usual kind but
is pure Castilian. —
Kelley is the crack gunner of
Estrada's army and although he
won't own up, but persists in de-
claring that "Louis and Jack are
just as good," it is said that it is
Fighting Kelley who put Gen-
eral Lara's gun out of commis-
sion on May 2G, making what
was ealled a "butty shot" by
Captain Smith of the United
States gunboat Paducah.
When questioned regarding
this Kelley blushed. The blush
was noticeable through his Rip
Van Winkles-and after a lot of
"drawing out," acknowledged
that it was he who "called Lara's
bluff."
"It was tSu's way,/ said Kel-
ley, "on the morning of May 26
we lay in our trenches and were
wishing and praying and praying
that the enemy would come out
of their holes "ond fight like men,
when suddenly a happy thought
occurred to me. I wanted to
find out where the big gun was
which, they fired at us the day
before, and making a megaphone
out of a piece of cardboard, I
jumped to the top of the trench
and called out to General Lara"
—just what Kelley said at this
point would not look well in
print, but he said enough to
enrage Lara to ihich an extent
that in,a few moments a shot
was fired across the embank-
ment.
"They let fire at us," went on
Kelley, "and I laughed to myself
and rammed a shell home for a
long shot across the hills. Tak-
ing a good at the point where I
believed the big fellow was
mounted, I tugged the lanyard
and waited for the shell to drop.,
"There came a crash and a yell
and piecee of 'iron were flying
all around Lara's camp. 1 knew
that the 'big fellow' was out of
commission."
Kelley sAiiled as he told of this
shot and boasts with pride that
it was Captain Smich of the
Paducah who complimented him.
Some of the other good sho
made by Kelley were those o

Aviators Must Not
Fly Over Berlin
Arrest of Fry Gives Rise to Com-
ment on Police Authority-
Papers Comment
Berlin, July 2.—The recent
flight of the aviator Frey over
Berlin has led to an interesting
controversy in a portion of the
Berlin-press. The ~ question is,
"Can an aviator fly over Berlin
without police permission?"
It is pointed out that the po-
lice maintain law and order in
the streets of Berlin, that they
are responsible for the accidents
that happen therein, that tHeir
permission has to be asked to
hold open-air or .political meet-
ings, and, in fact, their per-
mission has to be obtained for
almost everything under the
sun. When Zeppelin came to
Berlin thousands of police looked
after the public safety, when
King Edward came to Berlin the
streets were lined wtyh police
and troops and yet the aviotor
Frey actually had the audacity
not only inform Berlir ers that
he was going to fly over the
capital, but greatest of all blun-
ders, he failed to inform the po-
lice and receive their permission
to do so.
What would have happened,
the papers ask, if ap accident
had happened to the airship, a
portion of wood or steel become
detached and on its way to the
ground struck some harmless
burgher walking from his daily
toil?
Certainly it is the object an4n
duty of the police at once to issue
a manifesto to the public pgo*
claiming that the air over Berlin
is the property of the police and
no aviator in the future must in-
vade this sacred sphere without
first informing the guardians o#te
the law, so they can take ade-~
quate precaution to protect the
inhabitants against falling
pellors or other parts of
aerial vessel.
Failing this,., the papers
the aeroplane of the infringing
flyer should be seized as state
property.
