first object her waking gaze en-
counters, and she falls desperately in

Cobweb, Mustardseed, Mote and 9TH
ers, the parts being taken by Lorene
Evans, Elsie Larsen, Lola Dryer,
Jessie Leask, Puma Nichols, Minnie
Angliss and Florence Mckenzie, gave
several pretty dances, which with
tinkling Of tiny bells and fluttering
of gauzy wings and soft floating
gowns, carried one away as in a
dream, to real fairyland. Puck, the
mischief of the lot, was genuine. He
was attired in green and red, sugges-
tive of the woodlands. The songs of
the fairies were very pretty. Pease-
blossom (Lorene Evans) sang a solo
"Over Hill, Over Dale" in her sweet
charming way.
The play was handsomely costumed
az we'll as pleasingly presented and
what is more the girls made their
own gowns.
The stage settings we're vel
planned. One scene, the fairies lul
ling their queen to sleep, was especi
ally pretty.

play, and Miss Dumke, who hat
charge of the dancing and music, pu'

play went smoothly from start K

ranch. Many of our readers are we'll
acquainted with the Crowleys, former
residents Of Dickinson and Richard
ton, and will be interested in know
ing how their former townsman took
the murderer.
The story is told as follows:
Hebron, May 22.-William Oster-
mann, a young homesteader, was
shot and instantly killed Monday at
the Jack Crowley ranch, % miles
northeast Of Hebron, by Fred Whit
ers of Golden Valley.
There was a dispute over $40
which Winters commended Ostermann
owed him. Winters had ridden to the
Crowley ranch to collect the money.
He found Ostermaan helping Crowley
in the erection of a rural telephone
line and began to make his demands
for the money.
Ostermann paid little attention to
his remarks, continuing his work.
Suddenly Winters drew a 80 Caliber
revolver from his hip pocket and
pushing Ostermann slightly away
from him, shot him in the left side.
Ostermann sank to the ground with
out a word and was dead within q
few minutes.
The murderer then attempted to
escape, covering Mr.. Crowley and
Pat Costello, another hired man.. with
his gun while backing toward his
horse. While Winters was mounting,
Crowley a into his house and secur-
ing his Winchester rifle, covered
Winters and held him while Costello
summoned the authorities over the
telephone. The arrest was made by
a Golden Valley deputy, and the
murderer taken to Stanton, the
county seat of Mercer.
Ostermann was about "a years Of
age and came to Hebron about four
years ago from Hancock, MINI. He
worked at odd jobs on the Crowley
ranch and also on the H. B. Schaf-
finer place.. He was single, not
"quarrelsome and we'll thought of by
his neighbors. The remains were
taken to Hancock for burial.
Winters is comparatively unknown
in this part of the country.
Coroner Eastman of Hazen was
summoned. He will conduct an in
quest at the Crowley place.
A report from Mandan indicates
that Winters is a bad man, styled as
a tin horn gambler, who had oper-
ated in the past along the north
