and elaborate scenery they very beau.
tifully presented in pantomine the
coming, career and passing of Kins
Skiold. A tremendous amount of worl
had been done in order to properly
depict the ancient scenes and the
hearty applause of the big audience
gave proof that the efforts put forth
were heartily appreciated. An after
noon performance was given for the
school children and in the evening
nearly five hundred persons paid the

was a decorating committee which
had trimmed the big hall and also the

escape from an automobile accident
Monday night at the Assembly hal

time before the termination of the
festivities he had gone out to warm
up the car. He was coming into town
on the west road at fairly gool
speed and when he arrived at the
corner by the assembly hall there was
so much ice on the windshield that
he could not see the turn in the roaG
and kept going straight ahead. There
is fair sized ditch at that point and
it appears that wheQ the front end
of the car fell into the ditch there
