by the Quincy Junior high school last
evening, was pronounced by the many who
saw it the most pleasing and finished en-
tertainment given in Quincy in many years.
The theme of the operetta is the story of
the early pioneer, the abduction of his
child by the Indians, war between rival
tribes and the final restoration of the
child.
