Although neither had filed an in
come tax return for the past year,
both quickly admitted their liability
when confronted with irrefutable evi
dence showing the accumlatien. of
comfortable fortunes within less than
two years, and were glad to escape

ODD FELLOWS’ MINSTREL
WAS WELL RENDERED
Although the night was a stormy
one, in fact the worst storm , of the
Winter visited Putnam on this date,
there was a good crowd at the min
strel given under the auspices of the
local lodge of Odd Fellows in the
Bradley Theatre last Wednesday
night.
It was the second staging of the
minstrel, and the cast of forty-two Odd
bellows delighted the large audience
with the rapid fire program of solo
and chorus numbers, quartet and in
strumental selections, and the mirth
Piovoking antics and cross-fire jokes
by the end men, who were: Ralph
Shoales, Frank Day, Kimball Har
graves, Joseph Berba, Tyler Andrews
and Walter Barrows. Sidney P. Mar
land was interlocutor. Numerous Put
nam men were "hit" by the end men’s
jokes.
O. P. Bancroft was chairman of the
committee for the local lodge charged
with arranging the presentation of the
entertainment.
