INDIANS AM) COWBOYS
WILL BE OUT IN COSTl'ME
Cowboys and Indians in full
wild west costume will probably
greet the Liberty Bell special
train this afternoon when it ar
rives In Pendleton and moving
pictures will be taken' of them
by operators upon the train. At
noon today Agent T. F. O'Brien
received a request that Pendle
ton have some Indians and cow
boys at the depot, the operators
aboard the train having in mind
that this city is the home of the
Hound-up and thus should con
tribute some neat pictures in
the sequence which is marking
the progress of the bell across
the country. Agent O'Brien took
the matter up at once with
President T. D. Taylor of the
Round-up, though scant time
hus been afforded to make a
creditable showing, it is hoped
:
that the wi.hes of the Philadel-
phlans will be filled. The pic
tures will be used in newspapers
and in exhibitions of the films
so that the Round-up should re
ceive some valuable advertis
ing. Today is "Liberty Bell Day" In Pen
dleton and a large number of people
from other county towns and from
the countryside have come in this
afternoon to see the bell that rang
out the birth of the nation 139 years
ago.
Pendleton is making the occasion
one for the display of patriotism and,
in conformance with the proclama
tion of Acting Mayor Dyer, all business
will suspend this afternoon at 4:30 un
til 6.30. Flags are floating from vari
ous poles and the red. white and blue
decorates more than one store.
The famous old Revolutionary relij
is scheduled to arrive in Pendleton at
5:30 this afternoon and will remain
at least IS minutes before going on to
Walla Walla. It rests upon a special
ly equipped gondola car attached to
a special train bearing a delegation of
Philadelphia's leading citizens as an
honorary guard and her four largest
policemen as an active guard.
The gondola car will be parked on
the short passenger track of the O.
W. R. & N. just east of Main street
and In front of the freight depot. To
the north of the track a platform has
been built with steps at each end and
on the other side a flat car will be
spotted to serve as another platform.
According to the plan, no vehicles
will be allowed upon Main street from
Webb to Bluff and the streets will b
roped off. The crowd will be lined
up two abreast and marched slowly
acrosa the platforms, one file going
to the right and the other to the left
A full view of the old bell can thus bs
secured. The crowd will be required
to keep moving slowly and will be
marched to Thompson street. The
special police appointed by the mayor
will enforce the regulations.
