The play was splendid from begin-
ning to end and was heartily enjoyed
by all who heard it. Those who had a
part in its production are certainly
entitled to a great deal of praise for
the creditable manner in which they
presented their various parts. Each
one played his role most commendably
and the fact Unit a great many of those
who heard the first performance have
said that they would not miss seeing

AUTO TURNS TURTLE
The family of K. A I'ugh who re-
side near Dilko had a narrow escapo
fromdeathor at least being seriously
injured Sunday afternoon when the
new Studebaker car wiilch they had
Just recently purchased turned turtle
while going at a good rate of speed.
The car was pretty badly smashed up
but each Of the seven occupants escaped
with only n few minor bruises which
is nothing lets than miraculous.
The family were out driving and Tab
P'ugh was at the wheel. In going
down a grade at a good rate thn car
skidded into a deep rut and Tab at-
tempted to steer It out again. In so
doing the car was upset and turnvd
completely over onco and a half again
finally landing facing almost in the
direction from which it was going.
When the machine turned turtle the
occupants were thrown clear o f it
which is undoubtedly the only reason
they escaped being killed. The steer-
ing wheel top fenders and wind shield
were demolished.
The loss from damage to the car will
be a heavy one for Mr. Pugh and all
who know them will regret to hear of
their misfortune but rejoice to know
that the family escaped Injury.
