tablished a trading post and engaged
in trading with the Ute and other tribes
of Indians in southern Wyoming with
considerable success From thence he
went to southern California, where he

1883, when he came to Spokane. IN
the same wear he became the nrst
white settler on the Little Spokane
river, where he periled the displeasure
of the Indians in the selection OF
homestead. To better his condition
he purchased a half section or lana at
the head of Loon Lake which has been
his home, where he reared his family
since 1886. This has become the Great
Western Hay and Dairy Farm, and Is

cHIZZLE WHILE FAIR.
"A Soul Above SkittIes" Will Brine
Out Best Of Cony High Talent at
Second Night Of the Fair Advance
Seat Sale, Indicates Crowded House.

"A Soul Above Skittles" is the name
of the play that will be given by the
students in the Cony High school on
Friday evening the 2Sth, which is the
closing night Of the Chizzle Wizzle
Fair. After the play the floor will be
cleared and the High school event for
the season Of 1916 will close with the
usual Grand Ball. The synopsis of
the play is as follows: Prof, Marcus
Null. venerable, very abesent- mind
ed and learned college professor is so
forgetful that he relies upon his but
Ter that he may not miss any of his
important appointments. The sketch
opens with the professor having al
lowed even his engagement to marry
Mrs Weatherbee, his housekeeper on
that particular day, to slip his mind
He is reminded by Joseph his butler
of this coming marriage and prepares
to go to city hall for a license. A
much beloved niece of the professor
arrives and recognizes Mrs. Weather
bee as a former celebrated shoplifter
with a prison record. 1t appears that
the professors son Jack because of
his dislike for the housekeeper has
been disowned by the professor, but
has returned and entered in disguise
into his fathers service as footman
not being recognized even by Joseph.
Jack, not being at all familiar with
his new duties, Joseph agrees to help
him all he can by suggestions and
acts. Leslie, the professors niece,
recognizes Jack in spite of his dis
guise and they plan to circumvent
Mrs. Weatherbee's scheme for mar
rying the professor. Incidentally
there is a love scene between Leslie
and Jack. They are discovered by the
butler in this scene, who Immediately
attempts to help Jack out in his love
making, but he is quickly shown his
proper place by both of the young
pepole. The professor returns from
city hall and produces what he says
is the marriage license. giving the
same to Ms. Weatherbee who nearly
swoons when she finds that in his alb
sent -mindedness the professor visited
the. board of health. instead of the
i clerk, and obtained certificate of
vaccination. The delay incurred by
this mistake gives Jack time to pro-
duce all evidence against the SCneIn =
ing housekeeper who is driven from
the house in disgrace. Jack, forgiven
by his father. presents Leslie to the
old man as his future daughter-in-
law, and all ends well. save that the
professor closes the play by forgetting
even his own name. The following is
the cast:
Prof Marcus Null. Philip Hill;
Jack Null, his son, George Dennis;
Joseph. his butler, Rodney Turner;
Mrs. Susan Weatherbee (housekeeper)
Dorothy Trask: Leslie Lisle, the pro-
fessors niece, Villa Griffith.
The above five students have lab
ored faithfully in 'rehearsals and it is
stated by the trainer that it would be
impossible to give any special in
dividual credit. They all give such
good promise that there seems to be
no particular star.
Seats for both minstrels and play
are now selling rapidly at Bither's
Pharmacy.
