The Lamar register., 1901-10-09

house, Friday, Oct 11th, is one of the
most popular plays seen for decade
No sweeter play of heart interest has
ever been more beautifully mounted and
artistically presented. AS a scenic pro
duction it is superb and the climax for
startling mechanical effects is reached In
! the last act.
A man gong by the name of Luther
Russell on last Friday purchased SIS
worth of clothing at Geo. @. Maxwell's
store, and in payment offered check
on the Holly bank purporting to be
signed by Edgar Bowin for sl2O. Mr..
Maxwell cashed the check, giving Rus
sell S102 in money. The check was re-
/ turned from the Holly bank, as it was a
forgery, and the officers are new hunt
ing for Russell, whose real name turns
out to be j. b. Dace. He has not been
found yet, but it is believed that they
will soon have him.
The county commissioners sat last
week and part of this as a board of
equalization, and finished their work
| Tuesday afternoon and adjourned.
They Immediately re-convened in regu-
lar monthly session for the transaction
of the regular county business, which
will probably occupy the balance OF the
week. AS a board of equalization they
made some few changes in the schedules
and the parties were notified by the
county clerk. Next Tuesday the board
| will again meet as u board of equaliza-
tion, at which time parties may be
heard in relation to the schedules which
| have been raised.

Capt j. II. Wing desires TO state that
the prizes published in this paper last
week as awarded on honey exhibits
should have been accredited to Cox
head & Wing instead of j. II. Wing, as
it was joint display by himself and
of the largest and best selected colonies
of bees in the valley and is thorough
and experienced apiarist, besides having
devoted considerable time to making
the apiary department Of the fair sue
cess. He participated in the entire ex-
hibit made by Coxhead IL Wing, and it
was through an oversight in making up
the premium list that his name was
omitted. The awarding committee, IN
addition to the above, also desires us to
state that through an error the first
premium on Shorthorn bulls was an
nounced as given to NJ. j. McMillin
when it should have been A. Il. Bent.
Last night at Holly, Eastgate Lodge
No. lib was instituted by Grand Master
Kennedy. There we're about seventy
visiting brethren present at the cere-
mony, they having come from Syracuse
and Coolidge. Kansas, and Granada and
Lamar, Colorado. Lamar Lodge was

conducting the ceremony. The Holly

will become flourishing lodge. The
visiting brethren were loud in their
praise of the lavish hospitality extended
to them by the Holly lodge. One of the
finest banquets ever served in the valley
was provided at the Millinger house,
and it received most appreciative atten

gance was surprise, and will long be
remembered by those present. In view
OF the fact that there were about twice
as many visitors as had been expected,
the entertainment which was provided
was a credit TO Holly. IN fact would have
been credit to any town. These
gatherings are most enjoyable, not only
from Masonic stand point, but they
serve to make the citizens OF the valley
towns better acquainted with each
other. and form the basis of kindly
