sentence and bond for their appear
ance before the superior court was set
at $1,000 apiece. which was provided
for them. The respondents were rep
resented by L. Harold Dutord.
The first witness called for the
State was Mr.. Pinktam. He had been
asked the previous night by Chief
Gaskell to help him in the apprehen-
sion. According to I'inkhams story
the two officers had gone to the Second
Rangeway about 4.30 o'clock, where
they found the cache containing the IL

Of Seasons Best

With the Legion Pop Concert and
Cabaret which is to be held in the
Armory on the evening of Tuesday.
April 81. still two weeks away. the
committee announces that the affair
has reached the stage where they are
only waiting for the night to arrive
Which means that with the real good
time of the season still two weeks
away all plans and materials have
been made and gathered, all commit
tees for the detail of the entertain
ment are thoroughly instructed. all
those who We're fortunate enough to
reserve seats at the tables are in for
the fun of their lives and that rain
or shine the first Legion Cabaret
will be a success. This not only as
sures satisfied patrons this year bus
suggests that the event may be an
annual feature for fun lovers.
For the benefit of those who have
but recently become interested in this
new Legion effort the committee
states that there are to be two rows
Of tables, seating four each. extend
ing down each side OF the hall. Be
tween the inside rows is to be the
main floor which will be kept open
for general dancing. 1t has been
rumored that more tables will be put
in to supply the increasing demand
for reserved seats but it is to be I'M
derstood that q pleasant evening is
of primary importance and dancing
space will not be sacrificed to any
noticeable degree. 1t is true. how
ever, that all reserved seats at the
tables have been sold and a great
number of the straight admission
tickets have also gone. This ,e1ves
a few of the admission tickets for the
benefit of those who are first TO APP
ply for them. These blue tickets ad-
NIT to the balcony for the program
and to the floor for the general
dancing.
The program Is bound to please for
in ten vaudeville acts of varying
types there Is sure to be something
for everyone and the committee be
lieves that all ten will appeal to
majority of patrons. 1t is to be a
real Legion ''eat- laugh dance" af-
fair.
The "eat" feature OF the program
is under the supervision of Doc Tur-
cote who. with his nimble corps of
assistants. will take care of the
tables. The dance feature will be
coaxed along by the Douglas Melody
