cape, and will catch about the same dose
there as here. DeRoche was arrested as
bootlegger at Walhalla by U. S. Mar
shall Hennessey of Grand Forks and he
blamed Sandy McFadden for informing
on him. Later DeRoche returned to
Walhalla and wrote threatening and
Matchmaking letters. He was suspected
OF setting the fire that was found burning
in the outbuilding at the rear of the hotel
occupied by McFadden. 1t is quite evil
dent that he is dangerous character.
MEMBERS of the Eastern Star Quartette
have returned, one by one this week
from their trip to Florida, only Miss Nc
COLON remaining in the land of flowers.
Their trip was very satisfactory one and
their concerts at the Florida Chautauaua
at DeFuniak Springs were pronounced
the event of the musical program, the
manager saying he had never had any
attraction that satisfied people better.
On their way to Florida they gave con-
certs at GAINESVILLE and Sparta, Wis, and
were very well received. Miss Rolston
was given very warm welcome in her
old home, GAINESVILLE, and all of the con-
certs were a triumph for Mrs. w. S.
Thomson. whose strong, rich, alto voice
made most favorable impression. All
