A very entertaining program
was rendered last evening by the
members of the Beach Musical
Club. Aside from the numbers
given by the members was the
rendition of several folk dances
by the frs and second grades
under the supervision of Miss
Georgia Gray. This number was
especially interesting to the par
ents of the children who were
present, and indicated that very
careful effort was given to the
teaching of the little tots.
Among the numbers that re-
ceived more than customary ap-
plause was the boys quintette in
German folk songs and a solo
number by Miss Irene Eide. Her
voice has good quality and
strength. A very pleasing tenor
solo was rendered by H. Burt.

Farmers Home
Is Ransacked|
Valuables Taken While Farmer
Is at Work in Field - Tele-
phone Dismantled to. Make
Good Escape.

Carl Carlson. aged u, farm
hand for John Tatley of Ollie is
said to have taken advantage of
his employers absence on Thurs
day of last week while his en-
ployer was at work in the field.
1t appears that he ransacked the
home of a ladies' watch, valued
at twenty-five dollars, together
with other valuables.
A few days ago Tatley gave
employment to Carlson whose
home is in Moorhead, Minn., ad-
vancing him his fare to Ollie and
allowing him more than he had
coming for the purchase of nee
essary equipment. During his
stay there Carlson was assigned
to work near the Tatley home.
!Ihe owner with his little boy
went to work in the field Thurs
day. leaving no one on the prem
ises but the workman. Upon his
return in the evening Tatley dis
covered that the bureau in his
home had been broken into and
several trinkets were missing, to-
gether with ladies' beautiful
cold watch. The workman was
also missing. 1t is thought the
thief also broke into the garage
and tried to steal an auto which
was there. Luckily, however,
Tatley had in the morning remov.
ed the switch plug, thus making i,
impossible for thief to make
away with the machine. The thiei
also damaged the phone in such
a way that the owner was unable
to apprehend him in this way.
Tatley offers suitable reward to
anyone who can give information
as TO his whereabouts.
The alleged thief comes from
a very respectable family in the
city of Moorhead.
