There has been a steady grind of
rehearsals lately for the home talent
play, stop Thief under the leader
ship of Mrs. C. M. Nelson, and-the
dress rehearsal will take place this
evening. The play is to be presented
tomorrow evening, (Friday) at the

the various players have been well
drilled for their parts. A dance will
follow the play.
Mrs. j. P. Frederiksen is carrying
her right arm in a sling on account
of broken collar bone which she
sustained Wednesday last week. She
was up in the lumber wagon and just
going to take a cream can down but
became over-balanced and was forced
to jump down, falling over on the
can when landing, with the above
result. The injury was at first not
thought to be so serious and it was
a couple of days later that she went
to Sandstone and learned at the hos
pital there that the bone was broken.
The bone was set and she will be
minus the use of that arm for about
three weeks.
The young people in the North Star
Club neighborhood presented the play,

scented in good German dialect by Ag-
mes Hedlund, teacher in the Eaton

perience for the young folks and they
all enjoyed the fun that goes with
the rehearsals and the presentation
of the play. A good lunch was served
after the play and then followed a
social dance to which the Saggau or
chestra furnished music.
