The Danish home talent play
presented Mt the d. B. S. hall
Friday evening and Sunday af-
ternoon drew good crowds both
times and was well received, the
audience thoroughly enjoying it.
There were only eight charac-
ters in this play and each part
was well acted. OF course there
is chance for criticism and also
chance for improvements, but II
there was not it wouldn't be
home talent and that is one fea-
ture which attracts much. Folks
like to see their own friends and
neighbors perform, it it mighty
good training for those taking
part and the proceeds stay at
home. As in this case the net
proceeds after all expenses have
been deducted are $69.17. which
goes for furniture in confir-
nation room in the new parson-
age which will sooner or later
be built.
One thing that might be called
attention to in this home talent
play as well as others which
have been staged here is the
fact that it is very difficult for
the audience to- distinguish the
words in some Of the songs. Eli
ther the singing is not distinct
and loud enough or the piano ac-
compartment is too loud. How
ever some Of the singing was
very distinct and the words could
easily be understood.
Those taking part in the play
were: Johan Sorenscn, Sina Sor-
ensen, Clara Petersen. Folmcr
Sorensen, Louis Olsen, V. s. Pc
terscn. j. c. Jensen and Dagny
Wosgaard.

Mr.. Kitch has in one sense saved
the Indians Of this reservation elS,.

Mr.. Kitch as purchased for 81,
$50 cattle which had the lowest bid
been accepted would have cost $40,

As q result the Indians who arc
to receive this benefit issue Of cattle
will receive 28 cattle each, more
than has been issued for many
years.
The cattle were purchased from
the San Carlos reservation in
Arizona. To purchase them,
though, Mr.. Kitch went to Odessa,
Texas, where the cattle had been
taken from the reservation, owing
to the scarcity Of feed on the ,essr.
vation. Cattle,nen in Arizona, &C.

position, but the commissioners wished TO
know the sentiment of the people on that
matter, although the board had authority
to act. O. B. Hughes inquired if it would
be necessary to hire man TO drive the
truck and Commissioner Gibson raised a
laugh by replying that he didn't believe
one could be bought which would run
alone. He thought a driver would have to
be paid S25 a week and a permanent chief
81 800 to $500 a year, but some man
already in the department might be found
who could drive the truck. On motion of
II. c. Rice the matter of engaging a per-
manent paid chief was left to the discre-
ton of the commissioners. The meeting
was then adjourned.
The curfew will not 90 into effect until
the commissioners have had an oppor-
tunity to meet and make the necessary ar
engagements.
