Captain Hatcher, Military Store Keeper

Adam E. Otto, captain of Co. K,
Bemidji's crack militia company OF

received word from Captain Hatcher,
military storekeeper for the State OF
Minnesota, to the effect that he
expects to be in Bemidji in the near

the stores belonging to the local
company.
Captain Hatcher states that he
has already commenced his inspection
of the stores and equipment of the
different companies that are men,
bers of the national guard, and that
be is making a very thorough and
painstaking examination of all
paraphernalia furnished the COM
panies by the state.
Company K. of Bemidji, which is
one of the newest of the members of
the national guard, has made a very
creditab bic showing. The company

HARRISON PLAYERS Will
APPEAR here SATURDAY
Winnipeg Free Press Pays Vaudeville
Company Splendid Compliment
Ten People; Ten Acts.

Bemidji theatre goers will be greatly
pleased to learn that the next attrac-
ton to play the City Opera House
will be the Harrison Players. The
style of performance given by the
players differs Somewhat from that of
the usual companies playing in this
city, as they are presenting a first
class vaudeville performance. There
are ten people in the company and
ten acts in the performance. They
will be here for one night only. Sat-
urday, Dec. 18th.
The Winnipeg Free Press says of
the Harrison players:
Fully. two hundred people we're
turned away from the box office, as
tickets for seats were at a large
premium two hours before the doors
were open, and the patrons of this
pretty little theatre were greatly
disappointed, as an excellent bill
the Harrison Players-was pre-
sented.
Miss Lucille Norman was de-.
cided hit in the romantic Western
drama, The Wages of Sin."
Mr.. James Calvin, as Lot, scored
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-12-10

heavily in his excellent work. Mr..
Calvin, as the big-hearted hero,
cleverly supports Miss Norman in
most of her best scenes. -.
Mr.. Harrison was the bad man
of the act, and deserves especial
mention, his portrayal of the Indian,
Black Hawk, being excellent. Mr..
Harrison is considered by the critics
one of the best Indian imperson-
ators."

Judge c. w. Stanton of this city
participated in the memorial

fatteringly of the excellent address
which the Judge gave in that city
Sunday afternoon.
