Saturday Evenings
Entertainment"
I.nst Saturday evening witnessed the
eighth anniversary of tho orgiuiUittion
ol Coos Hay Camp. No, KM, Woodman
of the World, nnd tho uflair was cele
brated in a way appropriate to tho oc
onion.
Tho evening's entertainment began
In tho Opcrrt lit use which was dceo
rated with tho Woodman colors and
emblems. Tho ti ret nuinber on the
program was a (Ire ion hy Amlcrton'n
Orchestra which, by the way, furtilihed
tho music for the entire entertainment,
anJ did it well. In fact, M.Uahllcld cati
cjnerntulrtto hertelf iition bavin" inch
7
nu urKiiiiisiiuu 111 hit iiiiiiji tu ivn
words llev. Loo extended tho welcome
of tho camp to their gttcm, and nlso
gave some rooiI advice to those men
who ara still outside somo fraternal
order.
Another selection by tho orchestra
and the curtain arose upon a scenn in
tho Uttlo nilu'.ni! town of Squatter
Gulch, and the main attraction of the
evening: "Tatters; Pet of Squatter's
Gulch" was on.
To attempt a review nnd criticism of
the acting would bo well-nigh impossi
ble suffice it to say that those taking
part played their parta very woll and
were several t.mea encored. I'o!lbly
tins most popular were Misa llessie
Brown, aa Tatters, Mr. C. A. Woodward,
as Moses, Lilly .lc6(orn and Mr. l'ratt
in hia Dutch specialties.
At the conclusion of the piny the hall
was cleared of tbe chairs nnd those who
so desired .;nd they wore not a few
enjoyed the pleasures cf the danco until
an early hour.
The third tloor of tho building was
given over to thoso who did not caro to
danco, and here carda and other camca
and friendly conycrsntion nvide tho time
go quickly.
In the ante room of tho lodge hall tho
Cooa Hay Camp, Women of WcoJcraft
had apread an elegant lunch of cold
ham, ealadr, cheese, cake, ciffto and
other good thiaga which wna enjoyed by
some 300 persons. This part of tho en
tertainmc.it was in charge of the ladies,
which ia sufficient assurance that it waa
not only very fine, but moat euctessfu!
and not ono 0! the departing gucsta but
wcro ready and willing to. vote the
Woodmen, their wives nnd daughters
royal entertainer.
That auch a nicely arranged and finely
executed an affair aa that of last Satur
day night should be marred seems a pity,
but in every town there are a lot of
long eared animals who will preaiat in
letting their long-oared-nesa crop out to
the great dlscomforture of the res pec
ablo people, It doea eeem that
theEe creatures, who, by tho way, con
sider themeelves bright and shining ex
amplea of young manhood, should '
know Better, but they don't and are'
always very much in evidence
To applaud some pleasing part of n
performance, ia well, and ia greatly ap
preciated by tlio performer fortunate
enough to be so favored, hut for heaven's
sake, and in tho name of decency
cut out the stamping and ear spilling
whistle and tho long-eard-ness will
dissapear. ""

K. II. Miller and son, Klmer, ha.d an
experience with n panthor lait week
which they will not soon forgot. They,
wcni oui tor a uunion wio mountain nnu
about three o'clock in tho afternoon got
sight of a panther. They succeeded in
treeing it toward dusk nnd forthwith
htarted to build a fire with the avowed
purposes of staying there till djylight
next morning, but-.Mr. Panther would
not have it that way and before they
were awaro of ita intentions, tho pan
ther waa down and the doge of tor it. An
hour and a half was consumed before
tho doga were successful in npain treeing
their gomo. As It was dark it became
necessary to shoot by torch light and
upon being wounded came down, the
dogs gave chaso for tr quarter of a milo
where they cornered it in a creek. Mr.
Miller, wishing to take no more chances,
went up to within 8 feet of the panther
and shot at it again by torch light, thin
lime killing it. It was a largo one,
measuring nine fcot.
