thrusting himself upon the hospitality
of the Daniels home, but Keziah as
sured him that his unexpected coming
would cause no trouble. So he en-

out wearing his coat and carrying his

RICHMOND

JUL hoiiuay
times are now over and everybody is
again getting quoted down into a
working humor again. During the hol'
days dancing was the principal at
traction. The old folks held their an
nual relief society ball during the
week. Nearly everybody present were
married at the dance. but the rules
Of the management did not bar few
who were not married but wanted to
be. Everybody present claimed to
have enjoyed themselves immensely.
On January LIST, leap year dance
was given. This was very highly en-
joyed, especially by the boys as the
girls paid for the tickets. The writer
has communicated with many who at
tended and 1t is generally reported as
the most jovial crowd and best dance
they have attended. The young peo-
pie are hoping and eagerly looking for
ward to the next affair Of this kind,
and it is safe to predict chat another
leap year dance IN the near future
would be a "howling success"
On January LIST, during the dance,
two young men of our town deliber-
ately appropriated a team and sleigh
that was tied in front of the hall,
and proceeded to whirl and run the
team with the result that the sleigh
was overturned and broken up badly.
The boys attempted to escape the
consequences Of the act, but were fin
ally proven guilty and we're let off
very easily by the generosity of the
person owning the sleigh in simply
having them pay for repairing the
outfit. Had the case been taken up
it would have been more serious. The
boys are not bad boys and probably
did the act without forethought, but
this ought to serve as good lesson
for them as well as other young men
Of the town.
At meeting of the Athletic Coun-
cil' of the Cache County schools Sat
urday, it was decided that the other
high schools Of the county were to
contest for superiority in basket ball
this year and that the Richmond high
school team was to play the resulting
best team for the cup for the cham
pionship of the Cache county High
Schools. We have good team this
year and 1t is thought that our chan.
ces for landing the championship
again this year are good. Lewiston
took the cup from Richmond last year
Mr.. c. z. Harris, Fred Whittle and
N. X. Nelson drove to Logan Satur-
day last in a sleigh.
The meeting Sunday was very poor
ly attended,
School has been running now for
one week since holidays and every
thing is reported as going along very
smoothly. The final examination for
the half year will be held during the
week beginning January 81.
