Good Features
CHAUTAUQUA gBRINGs ENTER
TAINMENT NUMBERS AS WELL
HEAVIER THINGS.

The Floyds will appear on the
fourth evening of the Chautauqua
They have been appearing on the large
Lyceum courses in the East this win
ter and appeared before crowds of
two and three thousand daily. Mr.
Floyd is. magician of more than
ordinary skill, while Mahola is as clev-
er as can be in mind reading and
mental telepathy. The entire perfor-
nance is refined and of the highest
class in every feature. There is nc
audience but what appreciates the sue
cessful efforts of these really talent
ed artists to furnish amusement, in
struct and entertain. Mr.. Floyd en-
bellishes his remarkable demonstra-
tions with ready flow of refined wit
that keeps the audience in good hume
throughout the evening.
The entertainment is varied in the
extreme, ranging from few clever
at the close. The costumes, parapher-
MALTA and stage outfit of this Com
pany have never been surpassed by
the most famous magicians of the
country. In the second part of the
program, Mahola will give an exhibi-
ton of her almost supernatural skill
in mind reading tests. This charming
lady makes no claim to the supernat-
ural, but her part is truly unique,
and she has no equal in her peculiar
line of manifestations.
A talented musician furnishes ap-
propriate music for the different parts,
and fills in the very brief intermis-
sions with popular selections, thus
making the program one continuous
round of pleasure.
Another feature of the Chautauqua
and directly opposite from the Floyds,
who come entirely from an entertain
ment standpoint, will be the Fenwick
Newell Concert Company, who will
give an artist recital. Two years ago
we had the pleasure of listening to
Madame Ellen Beach Yaw, and no
doubt the music loving people of our
community will await eagerly for the
coming of this splendid New York
Tenor. Mr.. Newell has been tenor for
the famous Paulist Choir, during the
past winter, and has made several
concert tours of the country. He will
be ably assisted by Miss Marjorie B.
Smith, violinist, and Mr.. Vernon Shelf
field, the pianist, already well known
over this circuit at the piano.
Redwood Falls is to have two splen-
did Plays in FRIENDLY ENE-
MES" and "CAPPY RICKS," and
both of them are to be presented by
mature, professional people. The
Chautauqua play has been proving
the big drawing card for the past
two years, and the chance not only to
see a Broadway play, but one present
ed by people who have had experience
on Broadway and in Chicago, is an
opportunity our people cannot afford
to miss.
Two plays, an Opera Company, a
Male Quartette, a Magician, an Artist
Company, splendid orchestra and an
entertainment company ought to give
variety enough to please everyone. It
looks like the entertainment feature
of the Chautauqua was well looked aft
er this year.

CrOcker Will Be Here

American Legion men who have
been anxious about Carl C. Crocker's 5
return from Illinois were relieved last
week when Leo O'Hara received let
ter from Mr.. Crocker stating that he
would most certainly be here to do
his share in making the Legion Race
Meet big success. Mr.. Croker was
the starter and announcer at the Red
wood County Fair races last autumn
and the success of these races was
to very large degree the result of
his excellent work as announcer and
of his fair management of the races.
That is why the American Legion
men were so extremely anxious that
he be present for the coming races.
At these races of next week Mr..
Crocker will start the harness races
and will announce the various num-
bers of the program while the running
races will be started by DIR. Mathews
of Flandreau, the official starter for
this circuit.
Mr.. Crocker shows a fine spirit of
helpfulness and boosting when he
states that he will make the return
trip from Illinois in plenty of time
to be here to help and also when he
sets aside all thoughts of compensa-
tion for anythingshe may do for the
success of the races, saying Il want
to be there for the meet and to help
the boys all l can and / don't expect
anything for it. / just want to be
'one of the boys and do my part"
That is fine spirit and one which the
rest of the people of Redwood Falls
may we'll emulate. If the whole town
becomes a unit on such a program
the three big days next week will
be such a success the whole County
can't hold it-and the Legion boys
will feel, as they should feel, that
every man in this community is back
ing them to the limit.

The attorney for the defendant,
Alex King. produced a number of
witnesses to testify for his client but
Cecil Waters, colored and cook by
profession, was the star. Waters was
not content to sit on the witness
stand but shifted all over the court
room in his interpretation of the
argument that took place previous
to the shooting, He proved to be
considerably faster on his feet than
in the days when he juggled skillets
in the kitchen OF the Mills gambling
house a year ago last winter. Waters
testified to leaving hastily for parts
unknown about the time the artillery
began TO be numbered. The only
reason he didn't leave sooner was
that he was damned UP against a
wall and couldn't make an exit.
The evidence tended to show that
Porter fired five shots, our of which
vent wild and the fifth of which cut
a button off the top OF the pants OF
Paulo Romero at whom the shots
were fired. The bullet drilled a neat
hole through his mackinaw and then
lost itself in space. Witnesses testi.
fled that the two men had quarreled
previous to the shooting and that the
gun play came after Porter had hit
Romero on the head with the butt
OF his revolver. The defendant
claimed self-defense.

field are TO the effect that the flow
Is not only increasing but that it is
becoming wetter, which would indi.
cate that the possibilities for oil are
very bright. The location lie on what
is supposed to be the apex OF tho
structure and It is believed that by
drilling further down the gas will he
missed and a heavy oil flow will re-
suit. 1t Is also favorable for the find
ing of oil in the lower horizons.
When this enormous flow was un.
corked the cable broke and was
thrown out OF the hole. domolishing
the derrick but left the tools In the
hole. With this obstruction removed,
the possfbilit'e s OF the flow would of
course be much greater. A control
head for oil had been placed on the
casing but the crew was AFRAID to usa
this for the closing In of this enor.

been ordered which will arrive by OK

sidering closing its ChiJol refinery,

One of the greatest disappointments
of the year ia the finding OF a small
amount Of water IN the well OF the
Superior Syndicate on the Sheldon
structure northwest Of Riverton.
This wa one OF the most promislns
prospects drilled In wildcat territory
for como time with much oil and gas
IN evidence as tho sand was tapped
and had every indication Of being a
real producer.
Drilling in was started yesterday
morning after a delay OF several
weeks while the hole was being
cleaned and casing set. with tho
penetration OF the sand 10 a depth Of
10 feet some water was IN evidence
and a report OF the field superintend

water came from the casing in IL
hours. The well flowed by heads
twice yesterday morning. each one
being about 60 barrels Of oil and It Is
making about 100000 feet OF gas

Hope OF making a producer OF the
well has not yet been abandoned and
