The much-heralded "Fiddlers Contest" is over. The entertainment was given last evening in the Clinton theatre, sponsored by the Wapsie Aerie of Eagles. Every fiddler was a star. Every contestant was given a prize. Grandpa Hullinger's fiddle selections and David Sullivan's dancing was too good for words. A lamp for the best girl singer was awarded to Myrtle Stevens. Four bottles of wine were awarded to the River Front quartet, Paul Adams, Ed Nixon, Joe Hart and Paul Hart.
