Because o. S. Dietrich, Of Shorey'
failed to obey a subpoena to testify il
the district court in the case of Otto
Rovd against H. E. Fletcher, an at

no action will be taken by the court
in the charge of contempt until after
his testimony is given Mr. Dietrich
was wanted as a witness for the de-

will be asked to explain to the court,
he failed to appear. Attorneys for the
defense Immediately asked for an at

usual, a witness rarely failing to put

AT The PLAY.

One of the prettiest things in the
D. A. R. pageant, although it had no
historical significance, was the dance
of the Teddy Bears; they were so
funny, fuzzy, and hugable they look
ed as If they had just scampered out
rolled to the back of the stage and
gave place to a patriotic Sunfower
dance performed by little girls in
fluffy tulIe frocks.
The pageant opened with a grand
march-Indians, Pilgrims and SOL
diers trooped through the audience
to the delight of the children. After
an Indian drill, followed by a hair
raising war dance, the capture and
rescue of Captain John Smith were
shown: The jolliest and most promi-
nent hgure in the Dutch tableau was
Gene Stotts, member of the city com
mission; he viewed a German folk
dance, prettily done, with paternal
pride.

An Irish Tilt and Money Musk were

old gentleman in the audience.
A picturesque gypsy dance was in
troduced by Mrs. Norman Atkinson,
who sang a gypsy roundeIay in a

from the life of Washington were de-
picted, and the affair closed with a
stately minuet performed by colonial
