EXTRA BAND IN FIRST !.
CONCERT OF SEASON
Box Social and Beautiful
Music Furnished Enter
talnment for Crowd

The band concert Thursday eve
ming was a great treat to our music
loving people. The band, certainly
did itself credit, playing some very
difficult pieces of music with ease
and in perfect unison. The grade
of the music selected was a sur
prise as the band is comparatively
new, having been reorganized but
few months ago, after so many
members had dropped out of the
old band that it had ceased to exist.
The most of the members of the
band are young and have taken up
the work with enthusiasm. Their
leader, Rev. Henry, being an en-
thusiast in this line, the work has
progressed rapidly and they are al
ready qualified to take their place
with bands that have seen years
of service. Several of the Brayton
boys have united with them and
their addition is quite an assistance
as they are all musicians of excel
lent ability.
After the concert the boxes were
sold and those who were fortunate
enough to secure one were served
with hot coffee and partner to
share its contents, and he who did
not secure a box had the satisfac-
ton of seeing his best girl happy
in the companionship of another.
The concert was the preliminary
of open air concerts which will be
held in the park during the sum-
mer. 1t was given as sample OF
the musical treats which are in
store for us, and incidentally to
raise funds for their necessary ex-
penses. About S75 was realized
from the evenings entertainment.

Fred H. Blume, Former
Audubon Boy, Promoted

A copy of the Sheridan (Wyo-
mlng) Post, which has just reached
our desk, announces the appoint
ment of Fred III. Blume as Asso-
ciate Justice of the Wyoming SUI
preme Court. "a.
Fred Blume is a former Audubon
boy, having received his education
in the Audubon Schools. He grad
uated from the Iowa State Univer-
slty in 1898 and the following year
engaged in the practice of law in
his home town, holding the posi-
ton of City Attorney and for four
years the Office of County Attor-
ney of Audubon County. He went
to Wyoming in 1905, where he en-
tered the practice of law and has
since been a member OF both hous-
es of the Wyoming State Legisla-
ture. His appointment seems to
be giving universal satisfaction
among the voters of Wyoming.
