Wlc u the time set for the appearance

building last Friday evening, when
the trial of Santa Clans was held,
The title of the play being "Is Santa

Tne ease was trit'd to a jury with

Douglas was the prisoner at (he bar,
with lldward Zuckweiler as attorney
for the defense, and Carl Schmidt man
as prosecutor and Joe ,11. Faton and
Hint he Kosencraiis as court ollicers.
The trial was interesting throughout,
and ended with the jury handing in
a verdict of acquittal, showing Santa
( 'laus to be a real, delinite and actual
being. A feature of the evening was
the music, two pieces of which were
solos by the Misses Mildred .Johnson
and Mildred lingers, and were es
pecially good.
The most commendable feature
of the occasion was the bringing of a
present of some worth by every one
