ORPHEUM, JANUARY %
BY LOCAL STUDENTS

The english department of the
Cottonwood high school will give
two plays at the Orpheum thea
ire Friday evening, January %.
The first play consists of a one
act allegory under the name of
"The Six Who Pass While The
Lentils Boil"
1t is a fanciful bit of action
carried out by six persons who
pass a pot of boiling lentils.
They are on their way to the ex-
ecution of a queen who is con-
demned to die before the clock
strikes twelve. Her crime is
having stepped upon the ring toe
of the kings great aunt. If one
wishes, he may read symbolism
into the action, but the content,
the vigor and the grace are suf-
ficient. This is probably the
most popular play of Stuart
Walker. 1t is given as an edu-
cational performance. The cast
of characters are as follows:
The Boy.....Francis Homar.
The Queen Vivian Baker.

The scene is a kitchen.

The second is a three act play
"The Old Lady Shows Her Med
ais" by ]. M. Borrie.
Three nice old ladies and a
criminal, who is even nicer, are
discussing the war over cup of
tea. The criminal, who is hos
tess, calls it a dish of tea, which
shows that she comes from Gale
donia; but that is not her crime.
They are all Londan charwomen.
Mrs. Haggerty, through present,
is not the party by invitation;
seeing Mrs. Dewey buying the
wrinkles, she followed her down
stairs, and so has shuffled into
the play and sat down in it
against our wish. We would re-
move her by force or at least
print her name in small letters,
were it not that she takes of
fence very readily and says that
respects her. These four
lively old codgers are having a
good time at the tea table, and
wit is flowing free. You know
how they come about especially
in war time.

follows:

FIRED OPENING SHOT
IN WAR FOR FREEDOM.

Cashmere Record A few days ago
John c. Chase, the president of
the New England Historic Genealog-
ical Society, on his way from Boston
to Seattle, stopped off a day at Cash
mere to pay his "es poets to our fellow
tCwnsman, Judge James H. Chase and
70 inform him of the discoveries the
society had made in which he was in
terested.
The record shows that one Ebenezer
Locke, minute-man and soldier of the
Revolution, was the man who fired not
only the first shot, but two others, in
to the ranks of the approaching
enemy at the battle of Lexington,
Mass. A native of Massachusetts, he
now lies buried in the Goodale ceme-
terry in Deering, New Hampshire,
where many relatives of Judge Chase
mother are buried.
The record also shows that Judge
Chase's grandfather married daugh-
ter of said Ebenezer Locke, and that
the Judges father was the first child
born of said marriage. This makes
the hero who fired the shot heard
round the world, (and for that matter,
IS still re-echoing, for all the world is
wishing for our freedom) our fellow
townsman's great grandfather. And
as far as is known Judge Chase and
his sister, living in Boston, are the
only direct descendants of the man
who fired the shot that led to our free
dom.
1t is being planned to have quite a
ceremony by the G. A. r. at that
cemetery on the 30th of May next to
commemorate the memory Of this
hero,

BURGLARS AGAIN
BREAK INTO MUTUAL
MERCANTILE STORE
FOUR AUTOMATIC PISTOLS
TAKEN, INDICATING THAT
HOLDUP MEN WERE DOING
THE JOB.

Last Sunday night burglars broke
a pane Of glass in the east door of
the Mutual Mercantile Store and stole
three automatic pistols and it is
thought they were arming themselves
for the business Of holding up people
who work for their living. Nothing
C. sc in the store was taken, so far as
we are advised. The burglary was
not discovered until the next morning.
VIXEN Mr.. Mcintosh went to the store.
Al this writing there is no clue to the
identity of the offenders.
The value of the goods stolen is in
the neighborhood of $125, and it is
presumed that the burglars must also
lave taken ammunition for the guns
which would amount to several dol
lars. The pistols taken were two
32-calibre, l 3S0-calibre, and 1 22-cal
ibre.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
WEDNESDAY MORNING
ON COMMERCIAL Az.
FORD DRIVEN BY YOUNG MEN
STRUCK GRAVEL PILE AND
PILED UP-NEITHER SERIOUS
LY HURT.

Early Wednesday morning (about
o'clock John DeBord and Jim Ca
hill were coming at a fast clip from
the east on Commercial Avenue when
they ran into a gravel pile which had
been placed in the street preparatory
to constructing the cement walk past
the old livery barn diagonally across
from Lou Brender's shop. The Ford
car in which they were driving rolled
over, smashing the windshield and
radiator and DeBord was caught un-
Ger the machine. He was quickly re-
leased and we understand that neither
he nor Cahill were badly injured.
1t is said that no light or other
means of warning drivers was placed
Oh the gravel ple-which was probab-
ly an oversight on the part of those
responsible.
We understand that Cahill and De-
Bord have decided not to bring a
damage suit, because of the damage
to the car and to themselves, which
was at first contemplated.
