Announcement!

As I have sold the Wrangell Photoshow to Mir. C. R. Richmond of Ketchikan, and am retiring from the show business, l want to pub licly thank the people of Wrangell for the support they have given my show in the past, and also to say a word for the new proprietor. In securing Mir. and Mrs. Richmond to take charge of the Photoshow l think I have secured parties who will fulfill every requirment In their line and who will continue to give the Wrangell theater going public the best shows they are able to secure. For music, Mrs. Rich mond will give you the best we have ever had, as she IS an artist not attainable for small town shows Very often. So with the knowledge that the Photoshow has the best management obtainable I thank you again and assure you that your patronage for the new management is fully waranted.
 Sighed,
 J. R. Bender.

Basket Ball.

1t Is expected that the last basket ball
game of the season will take place ct
Norway Opera House Friday evening OF
this week. The attraction will be
either the strong Portland Independent
team, which will come for rubber
game, or an independent team from An.
burn, composed almost wholly OF the
players OF the Edward Little High
school team. Either one OF these teams
will put up the fastest kind OF game,
and some good sport may be expected
a. Norway will be represented by as
strong o team as they have had this sea.

some fne sport for the people Of this vi

that there will be large attendance at

players. This 10 the only game In which
the players have had any part of the pro-
ceeds, and they are certainly entitled to
all they can get from this game. The
contest will be one OF the best OF the
season, clean and fast, and every lover OF
basket ball should be present to see the
curtain rung down on the most success

With Portland High School, the last
game having been played In Portland
last Friday evening, Westbrook High
School will be generally conceded as the
champion team OF the state. Up to the
time Norway high were put out OF the
running by injuries to two of their star
players, their record was fully as good
as was Westbrook's, and 1t seems to be
a fact that cannot be denied that Nor
way High possessed a team which,
when at it's full strength, could have
met Westbrook on neutral floor with
at least an even chance of defeating
them. In the final reckoning West
brook High is the only school team In the
state that can be given higher rating
than that which goes to Norway High.

OF her statement with regard to the kill

night. On Saturday, the 26tb, he and
Davis came to South Paris In Davis car.
They came to the village by way OF Ok

car after crossing the railroad this side
of Charles Stanton's.
While Pratt has told new story re.

with the case are inclined to consider
this latest statement nearer the truth
than ANYTHING he has said before.
