Fourth of July Horse Races at Casper Featured Purses
The Casper fair schedule lists multiple events for July Fourth and Fifth including a half mile and repeat race with 200 dollar purse, a free for all with 125 dollars for first and 50 for second, a quarter mile dash worth 140 dollars, a firet money of 90 and 3rd place 20, ladies running race with 25, and bucking contests plus pony races. The inter-state canal project plans to reclaim 300,000 acres and extend along the North Platte River, with Newell noting long floods will be controlled and a reservoir built three miles below Sweetwater. Officials note farm lands will be limited to 180 acres per owner and water rights sold at 82 dollars an acre with ten years to pay. A work train improves Cheyenne to Orin Junction, and the North Platte valley group organizes to manage irrigation. The Lady Lancers organize to march in the parade with officers elected and many women signing to participate. A cattle rustling clash near Jackson’s Hole leaves several dead and the posse recovering cattle. Postmasters gains include Casper rising to 1,700 annual salary. Deadwood, Green River, and others see changes. Construction bids total 470,207 for canal work linking to North Platte reclamation efforts. Ed Lee’s saddle is recovered near Tulare, while his horse returns home later.
