masculine candidates by an almost

although there had been rumors that
secret caucuses had been held they
were unable to ferret out the truth
of the reports.
The stickers were distributed Sc

TO APPEAR
HERE APRIL 2
Community Council Plans to
Use Funds for Juvenile
Work Among Girls
MAC LEOD TO DIRECT
Will Present Rip Van Wrinkle
and Don QuixOte at
Auditorium

Tony Sarg's Marionettes will be
presented at the auditorium Easter
Monday, April = under the auspices
Of the Women's Community council
for the purpose of raising funds to
carry on juvenile work among the
girls of the city similar to that be-
ing done for the boys of the city by
j. j. Macleod under the direction
of the Rotary club. Mr.. Macleod
will have charge of the girls work
also.
The women of Bismarck are inter-
cstcd in seeing that the young girls
are given the same opportunities for
physical development, by means of
direction in play as arc the boys Of
the city. Girls are much less likely
to enter into out-of-door sports than
boys unless they have a leader
who can direct their movements and
plan for organized play, declared the
women who are interested in seeing
the plan 60 over.
AS the first step in raising funds
to start the work they have arranged
for these famous puppet entertainers
to come to Bismarck. Rip Van Win
klc will be presented in the after
noon while the marionettes will ap-
pear in a 1928 adaptation of Cervan-
tes' famous old romance, Don Qui-
oxtc, in the evening.
The public will see a number of
things done by mechanical actors
which are impossible on the usual
stage. In the afternoon grown folks
will enjoy seeing Rip Van Wrinkle,
his shrewish dame, Rips dog, Nicho-
las Veddcr, and others famous in
that American classic perform.
Students of romance will rcmem-
Der that the romantic Knight in Don
Quixotc suffered from illusions be-
cause he had read too much of Med
iacval spiritism and romance, and
that he imagined a flock of sheep to
be an army while windmill seemed
to him to be a giant standing in his
way. These things have been work
ed out in the play so that there is
every scmblance of ease in the ac-
tion.
Don Quixote lends itself easily to
the Marionette production because
the characters are humorous in
themselves and there is much action,
without which any puppet show
would be helpless. Since Cervantes'
famous old story is itself .carica-
ture, Tony Sarg found free rein for
his talents in the same direction.
Don Quixote's mount. Rosinante
and that of his squire, Dapple, with
a herd of sheep, gambolling spring
lambs, and a humblebee all are an es-
sential part of the story and do
much to keep the audience in con-
tinuous laughter.
The Marionettes under Sarg
in the Twin Cities are brought
to the Twin Cities about once
a year for special entertain
ments. and those from Bismarck who
have seen them declare that they are
delightful.

SCHNEIDER IS
JAIL; ALLEGED
BOND NOT GOOD
Arrested at Napoleon and
Brought to Bismark by
Deputy Sheriff kafer
BENCH WARRANT ISSUED
States Attorney Asserts
BOndsmen Do Not Have
Property to Cover Bond

Kasimlir Schneider. tried recently
on charge of poisoning his wife
was lodged in Jail here last night by
Deputy Sheriff Ed Kafcr, being
brought here from Napoleon upon a
bench warrant.
The order Of arrest was issued by
District Judge Jansonius after an
application had been filed by States
Attorney Allen, who asserted that
the bond of Schneider was not a good
bond. The defendant and bondsmen
will have opportunity to controvert
the statements.
Schneider had gone to Napoleon IL
consult relatives when he was ar
rested.
The states attorney in his appl:-
cation for a bench warrant said that
the people who had signed Schneid-
cr's bond for $4,000 were not quail
flied, he alleging their aggregate
worth above exemptions was less
than $4,000 and hardly more than
$4,000. They had qualified both
jointly and scverally and should be
worth $4,000 each, he said. He set
out an abstract of the membranes
on property of some and said that
John l.. Schneider. brother of Kas,-
mir Schneider, had transferred his
property to his wife after signing the
bond. He also filed statement by
the treasurer Of Logan county as to
the taxes paid and on what property.
The bondsmen. Of Kasimir Schncid
or were John L. Schneider, Bernhard
Meier and II. Hockhalter.
The states attorney declined to
make further statement except to say
that the state will insist that
Schneider be kept in Jail pending his
second trial to be held at Valley
City, unless an absolutely good bond
is furnished, and that unless the
statute directs release on bond will
take the position that he ought to be
kept in Jail anyway.
