oRoANIzE DRAMATIC CLUB.
Local Players Form 1.-THE Friars'' to
Read and Produce High Grade Plays.

Several Of the towns theatrically in
clined young folks organized a drama
tic club the last of the week under the
name of "The Friars.' The object of
the organization is set forth in the club
constitution in the following terse
wording: -" to foster the
dramatic and musical talent of it's
members - 40 and it is the
plan Of the founders of the "The
Friars' to read and perhaps produce
number of standard play during the
fall and winter. Already negotiations
for several royalty plays Of the higher
grade are under way.
The club is composed of practically
all the local thespians who in days gone
by have given freely of their time and
efforts to present plays that funds
might be derived for public benefit,
such as drinking fountains, baseball
teams, etc. Hereafter the club, when
its services are sought, will continue to
SiNV uChOAAt PCilOi "SASOo out thC
members feel that fair percentage of
the proceeds of each play and not the
entire lump sum should be turned over
to the benefit fund. In this way the
players will receive a small reimburse
ment for their time and talent, which,
when one considers that often rehear-
sails are held nightly for three and four
weeks in preparation for bill, is GER
tainly well deserved.
The Friars officers are Walter Bun.
nell, president; Ivor l.. Higgs, secretary
and Ed Abrahamson, treasurer. These
OFFICERS with M. C. Priddy and Miss
Lamona Richmond constitute an ad
visory board whose duties include the
selection of plays to be given and the
general management of the organiza
tion.

the minor children to the plaintiff.
Foster Case UP Again
The contempt proceedings against A.
G. Foster were also heard by Judge
Steele this week. In this case II ap.
pears that Foster sold out his harness
business to Mrs. Huff. An agreement
was made, it is said, to the effect that
Foster would not re-engage in the har.
ness business in certain territory
within stated time. 1t was charged

Comment ON Wagerly Case.
1t is not yet known when the Dear.
ing murder case and the Wagerly case,
two of the most important criminal pro.
ceedings will come up for trial. Speak.
ing of the latter case and its principal
actor the KOoskia Mountainerr uses
plain English in part as follows:
"Wagerly has been making period.
cal trips to Kooskia for some time. The
very first time he set foot in Kooskia
he made il clear that he was here for
no good purpose. He denied, it is said
being a married man, and put on all the
airs of detestable "masher.o His
wife and child were absent in the east
when he first broke into sassiety' in
Kooskia, and after they returned to the
family home in Kamiah he continued
his visits to this place, only in a more
sneaking and contemplate manner. At
last his nefarious work became SO bold
as to attract the attention of citizens in
general, even the little boys and girls,
and it was decided to gather him in.
According to all accounts the state
has clear case against him and he has
no sympathizers, especially among those
who know the mother of his child, to
whom he has brought disgrace and
anguish.
