FINE ENTERTAINMENT

The entertainment given Wednes-
day evening by the McKendree Com
munity club here in the opera house,

went away feeling that they had
gotten more than their moneys
worth. There was not dull mo-
ment from the start to the finish,
and it was one of the very best home
talent plays ever presented here 1t
was finely costumed, and the musi-
cal number were splendid. Our lin
tied space forbids us going into de-
tail. The program was given in sew
eral parts. The first was a one act
play-"Sauce for the Goslings." !"
Part second chorus songs, panto-
mines. solos, the human pipe organ,
corn stalk violin and radio. The
closing feature was an Egyptian
skit "The Shrek of Scarabee," :"
which was a real live moving picture
show of the desert, pyramids,
sphinx, camels, and natives in their
oriental robes. 1t was put on under
the direction of Miss Mary Johnson.

Harvey Garage Burglarized

Last Saturday morning about 2
O'Clock, the Harvey garage here at
the foot of Main street was entered,
the parties gaining admission by
breaking through a back door The
following articles were taken: Three
Goodrich cord tires, four inner tubes,
two horns, 20 feet of break lining, a
spot light, box of screws and SIS in
cash. Friday two young men were
in the garage, pricing and looking
over the goods, and Saturday morn
ing when the garage was opened and
the goods were found missing, it
was at once thought that the parties
who had been in and priced the ma
terial, were in some way connected
with it's disappearance.
While in the garage the remark
was made by one of them that they
were going to Roxbury. Upon noti-
flying the authorities, Marshal Drury
left for that place, and stopping
in Stockport got Marshal Henery,
and the two went to Roxbury. The
ferryman there informed the officers
that two parties answering the de-
scription of the men wanted, had
crossed Going on they found them
at Patten Mills, fixing their car. In
the machine were found the missing
articles from the Harvey garage.
The two men were placed under ar
rest, and brought here. At the hear
ing before Mayor McKibben they
waived examination and were bound
over to the next grand jury, and
were sent to jail
They gave their names as Harold
Riley and Fremont Snelibaker, of
Canton, and their ages as Is and 20
years. They were in Durant tour
ing car.
1t has been learned that the car
was stolen; that it belonged to G. r.
Walker, and that at the time Walk
ar purchased it he was residing in
Sidney. He is now a resident of
Columbus, and it was from that
place that the car was taken, when
the owner was in Canton. Wednes-
day the chief of police, and detective,
of Canton, and the insurance agent
of the company in which the car
was insured, were her in bullet
proof auto. 1t was their purpose
when they came to take the boys
back with them. but on learning OF
the charge against them here, they
permitted them to remain. s' assd

tanned at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jerrold Scott Sunday evening. Mr..
R. E. Helt of GAINESVILLE was among

slides of the 1912 eruption of the
volcano Katmai in Alaska. 1t is in
teresting to know that the crater of
this volcano is huge enough that all
the buildings of New York City could
be placed in it. Mr.. Helt with a
party of explorers made this
expedition to the Land of Ten
Thousand Smokes" in behalf of the
National Geographic society, in
1918.
