great V shaped cash. A moment more
and the disabled boat careened from
the shock and fell over on her beam,
helpless. Into the V shaped cash the
water poured q torrent. 1t seemed but
question of minutes before she would
lunge headlong below tile ice.
Within 200 yards of both boats and
free of the heavy ice steamed the

business in Council Bluffs today.

The second evening of the
Cromwell entertainment was
as expected, even more of a
success from an artistic stand
point than the first. The per-
formers, with the advantage Of
the previous evenings training,
went through with their work
fautlessly. Though the audi
ence was not as large as the
merit of the program deserved,
their appreciation was mani
fest.
At the conclusion of the pro-
gram the stage was set again
for the court scene and Mr..
Brown made a flash light photo
graph of the persons taking
part in that scene. Then all
the persons taking part were
brought together on the stage
and a social half hour was
spent, ice cream and cake being
served by the managing COM
mittee, and with much jollity
and many good wishes they
separated and the Cromwell
entertainment was a thing of
the past, but it will be remem-
bered long with pleasure by
the participants and with adj
miration by those who witness
ed it.
