The school at Taber closed last Friday night for the Christmas holi days with a splendid- program for the school entertainment, combined with a Christmas tree. Despite the sleet and snow that fell, a large crowd attended the exercises. We were glad to have them with us, but sorry that we were not able to ac commodate them as we would have liked to on account of not having room enough in the academy. The exercises began at 7 o'clock by the singing of a Christmas carol. Then followed recitations, dialogues, songs and other Interesting features. Un fortunately the bad, we..ther pre vented some of the children being present on this occasion. Immediately after the exercises closed at the academy the people were directed to go to the church, where the Christmas tree was reared. The limbs of the tree were so heav ily laden with beautiful presents for one another that they were bent in a semi-elrcle, touching the floor. The tree was a holly, as pretty as the forest can afford. Not more than half the presents could be placed on the tree. Thomas Morehead and Da vid Dickson, dressed in Santa suits, d'3 their part well. After all the ^resents were distributed Prof. J. S. Colley, principal of the school, ex tended congratulations to the chil dren for the excellent work they did In carrying out the program, and also to the people for responding so liberally in the preparation of the Christmas tree, after which the peo ple were dismissed and we have not lieard of Santa Claus since.

Butt jumped from his buggy, one of the witnesses states, and started to run, and being still fol lowed by Roach, he turned and warned Roach not to follow further or he would shoot. Roach, lt ls stated, still advanced, and Butt fired one shot, still backing off, with Roach still advancing. Two other shots were fired and Roach fell, dy ing some three hours later. The shooting was done with a .38 callbre Winchester rifle.

He had returned from ie penitentiary about eight months a? .. Mr. Butt bea's the reputation of a good citizen, and the tragedy ls deeply regretted on all sides.
