Friday evening last witnessed a re
peat performance of 1.-THE Noble Out
cast" by the Logan Home Talent Co
The attendance, owing to the sad state
of the roads, was not as large as the
company deserved, but those present
enjoyed an entertainment which ex'
celled any which has yet been at,
tempted in this territory. Miss Win.
ME Bean, as the heroine, captivated
all by charming Interpretation of a
pleasing character, while Mrs. How
ard, as the old maid, interested, anus
ed and astonished the audience with a
dramatic ability seldom found. Miss
Gladys Teets proved irresistible as the
maid, and Mrs. Shaw filled becomingly
the character of the kindly Mrs
Cruger. Ralph Gard as the outcast,
scored veritable triumph; Russell
Gard as the villain, pictured an I'M
scrupulous, calculating adventurer in
manner which left nothing to be de-,
sired; Ray Bates was comical and
withal clever, and Hans Ross as the
coon was coon. Bert Waldref as the
Warden played a difficult character
without a fault, and well known pro-
fessional, who has played throughout
the states, pronounced the production
to be the finest home talent effort ne
had witnessed in thirty years exper-
fence. Professor Ira Gard and Mrs.
A. Bergeson were responsible for the
musical program and needless to state,
this was quite a feature. Mr.. Gale
Bean as stage manager, is deserving
of special mention for his untiring eft.
forts. An enjoyable dance followed
the performance.
Mrs. Russell Gard, Mrs. H. C. Kuch-
enbecker, Mrs. Brady and Mrs. Berge-
son were among Logan visitors who
attended the Easter Sale of work at
Sawyer on Wednesday afternoon.
Mrs. Spalding and Mrs. Dennis of
Minot. were guests of Mrs. Will Heck
er between trains on Tuesday.
Mrs. Oliver Saugstad and Miss
Manda Nedrud sojourned awhile with.
in the Heavenly Sphere Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Henry Book, of S. Prairie, is making
progress slowly yet surely to his usual
rugged state of health. A long seige
following an operation for appendl-
citis, left our friend in shape which
makes rest imperative.
Mrs. H. C. Kuchenbecker, Mrs. Teets
and family, Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. D.
Forbes were all visitors to the Wonder
City on Monday.
Miss Della Myers is the guest of
Mrs. De Forrest Ross at present. Miss
Myers has spent the winter in Saw
yer, and is pleased to enjoy the gaities
which Logan affords, after hibernat-
ing for many moons.
Ira Gard has ordered an Overland
and expects delivery in the course of
next week Since taking up his resi-
dence in Logan, this talented musician
has been inundated with engagements,
and rapid transit became problem
which the Overland is to solve.
We have often referred to Logan as
the home of good stock, and there are
but few districts which can illustrate
so convincingly by display of horses,
cattle, sheep or hogs, such superlatlve
quality. Clyde Mills and Charlie Ben
son have been hauling grain during the
past four weeks with four-horse teams
which for type and condition would be
hard to equal, and there are many
other farmers in this territory whose
stock is not only a credit to them, but
the community's pride.
Tasker, alas, has thrown up the
sponge. A lack of material of inter-
est left no alternative. The thistle
will grow kindly and obscure that hole
in the hill which proved blot on Ma
lures handiWork, and the town will
sink into that sad and sorry oblivion,
which has so long threatened their
near eastern neighbors. And to think
