District Court

After a sensational trial lasting
three days, most of the time behind
closed doors, the Pingree case was
given to the jury on Saturday even
ing. There was no question about the
evidence in regard to the crime itself,
the entire matter Ringing on the state
of mind of the accused wife at the
time of the killing last July. There
was mass of evidence pro and con
on this question both of medical ex-
perts and personal friends of the ac-
cused woman. The jury after two
hours consideration brought verdict
that Mrs. Pingree was and is insane
and therefore not guilty of murder.
1t is now necessary to try her as to
her sanity, as the verdict of the jury
in the criminal case does not commit
her to the asylum.
The damage case of Lindsey
Allen VS.. d. A. Mclean for damages
resulting from the auto accident dur
ing the county fair last year occupied
the time of the court all of Monday
and Tuesday. The jury brought in
verdict late Tuesday evening award
ing Allen $500 damages.
This completed the list of jury
cases to be tried at this time and the
jury was dismissed until January.
There are several court cases to be
tried which will probably keep the
court in session all this week.

the extreme and Messrs. Christy, Da-
Wis, White and Hamblett. 1t was a
strong team in every respect, not on
ly for latest Jokes but for song hits
and all around entertainment as we'll.
In addition TO these there were good
solos by Messrs. Carrico, Holman,
Householder and, Koonsman.
The second section of the entertain
ment presented some good instrument
tai work by Messrs Holbert, Long and
Merwin and two fine quartettes that
proved one of the most pleasing fea-
lures of the evening. The last section
was the Return of the Exiles from
Lamar and owing to the lateness Vt
the hour had to be considerably cut.
That old time orchestra and speech Of
the mayor sent all home in a good
humor.
The music of the special orchestra
all through the evening was also a
feature that was appreciated by all
and they alone furnished an enter
tainment fully worth the price charg-
ed for admission. 1t is safe bet that
no town in the valley can furnish an
orchestra to compare with this one
and Lamar has reason to feel proud
of its work.
While everyone connected with the
evenings entertainment is deserving
of special mention and praise it would
be unjust to quit without an extra
word for Charley Wooden, who has
devoted days of time and patient work
to making it a success and whose
genius for public entertaining has
been exerted to the fullest extent to
give Lamar the best show possible.
If he gets up a better one he will
have to raise more than two bumps on
his head.

Don't Kick

Some of those who are disposed to
kick at the Pingree verdict should
just remember that this only places
husbands in the same class that edi-
tors have had to be contented with
for years. We mean recognized open
season for them from January 1 to
December 81 each year. The Register
expects to initiate bill at the next
election making it encumbent on the
state to furnish each purchaser of a
marriage license, on his presenting it
with a certificate of preacher that
it has been used, with one Colts au-
tomato from the state armory.

SPLENDID SHOW

1t was some show and some crowd
believe me! Why, by George! 1t
was just what we needed to drive
away the blues.
Monday night just as the Register
always truthfuD predicted the big
gest crowd of the season turned ont
to the opera house to sec the bes,
show ever put on in Lariar, and rs a
result the enterprising Ysn.ba. are
able to clean up their cnt'cr obliCa-
tons. Not only that but you caa't find
anyone who was there who won own
up to getting his moneys worth sew
eral times over. So everybody is
pleased. There is a practically unan-
imous sentiment among our citizens
that the boys change it from an an
nual event to semi-annual. The pub
lie enjoys the entertainment and likes
to help along the treasury of this pub
lie spirited and most enterprising
young organization.
Practically all the stars of the last
seasons performance were back in
the cast and they were aided by some
splendid new talent. The chorus was
much better with the addition of sew
eral strong voices, and the buck and
wing dancing was greatly improved
by the work of Messrs. Holman and
White, the former especially being
one of the best ever seen here The
addition of Lee Koonsman to the
singing staff gave the audience the
privilege of hearing one Of the best
and most highly trained voices in this
section of the state.
There were six end men with the
two Charleys, Wood and Wooden, on

Harper to Give All Squad Mem
berS Try9ut-Game to Be
Free-Big Crowd Expects to
See Stiff Battle.

Arkansas Aggies will meet the No
ire Dame basketball five at 1880 to-
night in the gold and blue gymnasium.
This will be the last game before the
holidays and the local squad is con-
fident OF an easy victory. No admis-
sion Will be charged for this game
and a record crowd of local fans Is
expected. The Aggies promise a stiff
game for they are the strongest team
in their state and last year they gain
ed the state championship, but the
Notre Dame squad is prepared TO
meet them at their strongest.
Coach Harper stated that a team
could not be picked from his squad of
Il men because each man seems to be
as strong as his competitor. So in or
der to get a team the coach just picks
the men at random. He has tried
every means possible TO ascertain the
best men on the squad but when he
groups the men in separate teams and
the two clash the score is always a
tie so that it is impossible to pick the
better five.
Tonight's game will start with the
following men: Keeney and Grady.
forwards; Mills center; Kirkland and
Finegan, guards. The coach promises
TO give all of the squad a chance in
tn game and no man except the cap
tain will have TO play more than ten
minutes. Metzler of the South Bend
high school will referee the game.
Another game has been scheduled
for the vacant date Jan so, with ST.
lgnatius college. With the adding of
his college TO the schedule Notre
Dame has a fine bunch of games and
with the good squad of excellent men
should gain high hOnOrs.
NOtFe Dame track schedule will be
out next week and Coach Roc6ne says
that he has signed contracts for the
best games at home both indoor and
outdoor that local fans have ever seen.
He stated that he has arranged for
four meets here, two indoor meets and
two outdoor. The rest of the meets
Will be held on the opponents track.
