HIGH SCHOOL OPERETTA
Drew a Very Large Crowd Last Even.
ing-"POcahOntas" Made Great
HIT With Those Attending.

Maysville Is indeed fortunate in
having people with such dramatic tai
ent as to be able to put on an operetta
such as was seen In the High School
last evening "Pocahontas", comedy
being offered. This was one of the
best Of like entertainments ever given
by the High School Glee Club and re-
fected much credit upon the directors
Of the affair.
About fifty Of the High School stu
dents took part. A larger part Of
these were used as chorus and the
work along this line was excellent
Every singer seemed trained for his
or her part and there were no flaws to
mar the occasion.
Miss Louise Hunsicker, as Ah-Meek,
the Indian mother-in-law, was one Of
the stars of the evening. Her dra-
matte talent seemed to come natural
to her and she acted with grace and
ease that made her distinctive.
Miss Georgia Hicks, as "Pocahon-
tas," held the leading part Of the play
and played it we'll. She looked like
an Indian princess and played her part
accordingly.
Messrs. Gordon Smoot and Clarence
Wood as Englishmen took their parts
we'll and greatly delighted the audi
ence by their many humorous re-
marks. AS Enoes-It-All, Mr.. Smoot
made an excellent Medicine Man.
Pow-hat-on and Ah-Hum, Charles
Downing and John Everett, made ex-
cellent Indians, the former as chief Of
the Chuck-dollahs and the latter as a
Medicine Man.
Miss Lillian Muse as Wah-w -wah-tay-
see, an Indian maid, did some very ef-
fective solo work.
The entire show was a good one
and was certainly worth the time to
cna IN

TRIAL POSTPONED

Robert Lindell, who was arrested
by Officers Fize. and Bloomhuff on
Tuesday at the c. & o. coal docks east
of the city for stealing coal from pass
ing freight trains, was taken out OF
Jail yesterday and arraigned before
Squire Bauer. The charge was for
trespessing. The trial was postponed
and will probably be held today. 1t
is thought Lindell was one of gang
of men that has been stealing coal and
later selling 1t to farmers. The officers
are expecting to secure evidence that
will cause the conviction Of the re-
mainder of the gang and they are
working hard toward that end. Lin
dell seems willing to talk. The case
was worked up by Special Detective
Thomas Stewart who has been In
strumental in arresting great num-
ber Of criminals in this section.

HIGH CLASS STOCK AT
AT VIM. EHR'S BIG FARM

Ehr's stock farm, owned by VIM.
Ehr and located about three miles
west of Minot in the valley, is one of
the best farms of it's kind in this sec
ton of the state. Seventy-seven head
of cattle in all are now on the farm,
including AT Holsteins, FL of which
are milking now. There are also 26
Guernsey cows and four Shorthorns.
One of the best Holstein bulls in the
state, the second prize winner at the
Northwestern Stock Show held in Mi
not in June, leads the herd.
Mr. Ehr prides himself on his blood
ed Chester White hogs. He has 81
brood sows that will farrow March 1.
Mr.. Ehr has two prize winning Ches-
ter Whites which he bought at the In
ternational Stock Show at Chicago in
December. One Of the sows, Hattie
H. T., is bred to Schoolmaster 24,325,
a hog that has won more champion
ships and defeated more champions
than any other hog shown in 1915. He
was grand champion at the Ohio state
fair, defeating the Indiana grand
champion; was grand champion at the
Hutchinson, Kan, state fair, defeat
ing Topeka, grand champion which de-
feated the Missouri state fair senior
champion. He was grand champion at
st. Louis, defeating Oklahoma state
fair grand champion and was grand
champion at Texas state fair at Dali
las, and was awarded sweepstakes
boar over all breeds at the big Cairo,
Mich, fair.
The Ehr farm has "a acres of alfalfa

good cuttings last year, averaging two
tons per acre for each cutting. Much
corn is grown for silage. The farm

N|N0T'S WATER SUP
PLY WAS CUT OFF
Both Motors at Pumping Station Went
Wrong and Entire City Was Out
of Water for Several Days.

Minot was entirely out of city water
from Friday afternoon until Monday
evening, during which time our citi-
zens experienced the greatest incon-
veniences. The 100 h. p. motor at the
pumping station played out Friday and
there was apparently no way to pump
the water into the stand pipe on the
South hill. Superintendent Of Water
works, Ole Knudson, is in Minneapolis,
and left the plant in another's charge.
There are two electric motors at the
plant, but one event on the hummer"
a day before the other and before re
pairs could be secured, both had gone
on a strike. An attempt was made
to repair one of them, but it was found
that it would require several days to
wrap the coils and then it would re-
quire four days longer for the shellac
to set. New motors can hardly be Sc
cured at any price.
j. A. Mcclure, manager of the
Northern States Power Co., came to
the rescue and telegraphed the Bylles-
by Co. in Minneapolis. A $50 h. p. mo-
tor was found at Saltwater, Mimi,
which was expressed to Minot, but ow-
ing to deep snow did not arrive until
Wednesday.
All about the city, the loss of the
water was felt keenly. Laundries, no.
tells and many other places of business
were up against a proposition such as
they had never before experienced.
The court house could not secure water
for the boilers and business was sus-
pended Saturday. The heating plants
at the schools had to be shut down and
the children were dismissed from Mon
day morning until Tuesday noon. The
Northern States Power Co. attached a
hose from the Great Northern pump
ing station to the power plant and kept
the light and heating plants in oper-
alton in this way, but Monday fore
noon the hose broke and the heat was
off for couple of hours.
City Water Commissioner Wilson
tried to secure an engine from the
great Northern, but it appeared that
none was available. A. A. Robinson,
who remembered that away back in
1904, water was provided by pumping
thru a hydrant, called Secretary Hol-
bein and Commissioner Wilson into
consultation and Mr.. Robinson advanc-
ed theory that it might work again
Geo. W. Kemper was brought before
the Triumverate and soon he was at
work getting a rotary pump oiled up
and new /. H. C. engine was kindly
loaned by the International Harvester
Co. Work was started at 1 o'clock
Monday and by seven that evening, the
city was again furnished with water,
pumped from the murmuring Mouse
into hydrant near the Stone Ordean-
Wells building.
Fortunately not fire has started in
the entire city since the system went
wrong, which shows that we are in the
hands of kind Providence.
F. c. Chais, night engineer at the
pumping station, informs the Indepen-
dent that the first 100 horsepower
motor stopped working at 5:15 O'clock
Thursday morning and the second one
at 1870 o'clock Friday forenoon.
Workmen are busy rewinding one of
the motors and both will be in use in
a week or two.
