CLUB VAUDEVILLE
The vaudeville entertainment
given iiy tne connon Athletic
Club in the Ameiican Theatre
on last Friday evening was an
affair of much merit as well as
being a success in the financial
way. After all expenses were
paid the Club had remaining the
sum of 150 which will be added
to the building, fund. The one
drawback to tho entertainment
was the fact that several of the
numbers were too long drawn
and on that account the program
did not go through with the snap
which has been characteristic of
the vaudevilles heretofore pa
tented by the Athletic Club.- A
few of the best numbers on the
program had to be left out.
The audience was in a receptive
mood and the old rafters of the
Theatre building rang again and
again with applause for the var
ious numbers. Each of the ren
ditions are worthy of especial
mention but the crowning effort
of the program, . although it
came rather late in the evening,
was the oration on 'Democracy,
The True and the False" given
by Prof. J. H. Bond of the High
School. i,There has been some
talk among the Club' members
of presenting the same program
n Fossil about the first of April
but nothing has been definately
decided. Mr. Williams, the
president of the Club and,. the
manager of tho vaudevilles, is at
work on another program which
he promises will eclipse any
thing of the kind ever seen on a
stage, in this city.
One of the most enjoyable
social events which has taken
place during the winter, among
the younger people of the city,
was the old fashioned sleigh
ride taken by a number of the
High School students on last
Monday evening. Those en joy
ing the novelty in this vicinity,
of riding behind the enchanting
music of sleighbells were the
Misses Kinsley, Duthie, David
son, and Schott and Messrs,
Clarke, Keizur, Schott and Hull,
chaperoned by the Misses Young
and Comings.

MAKE ANSWER
j Mayville, Ore. Feb. 27, 1911.
'. Editor Condon Globe;
In' re
ply to the Condon Times article
in regard to the Anderson case
where he says after reading
Mrs. Anderson's letter that he
has come to the conclusion that
there will be no prosecution and
it is up the district attorney to
see if there is any use keeping
Anderson in jail until next June
at the expense of the county.
If there is no case against him,
some of his loving friends of
Condon might go on his bonds
and turn him out The Editor
of the Times for instance. If
Mrs. Anderson's sworn evidence
to the Justice of the Peace is
false may hot her letter to the
paper also be false? We people
of Mayville think it cheaper to
board him at the expense of the
County than to turn him loose on
the county only to be brought
up again on some other charge.
Mayville' people never had
any trouble of this kind until
this man Anderson came among
us. If the Editor of the Times
thinks the expense so great to
the county we advise Trim to try
and cut the expense down by
going his bail as he says there
is no case against him so of
course there will not be the
least danger of his losing a cent
in going his bail.
We people do not look at this

FICIAL PAPER
matter from a money point of
view but the principle of it
In the minds of the peopta of
Mayville after witnessing this
affair, this man belongs in the
penitentiary instead of at large.
He could easily be sent over the
road if half the complaints made
by his wife to our people could
be proven and it can be proven
that she made the complaints.
We people of Mayville do not
begrudge our part of the county
tax in keeping him in fie county
jail until court meets.
If Bro. Fitzmaurice is so con
cerned as to the expense, we
people of Mayville can perhaps
make up his part of the county
tax. (Which, by the way,
might amount to as much as five
cents.)
If Bro. Fitz. sees fit to go
Anderson's bail and turns him
loose, we would ask it as a
favor that he find a place in
Condon for him to live as we
want it distinctly understood
that we do not need him here.
