Mr. Meikle is spoken of as one of the premier baritone singers of the country, and has a great reputation throughout Canada. Mr. Meikle is supported by Miss Gladys Noxon, dramatic reader, and Mr. Frank Lloyd, singing comedian. Of Mr. Meikle, the Winnipeg Free Press says: “Mr. Meikle is unquestionably the best baritone in the Westand we have seldom heard his equalas an exponent of the martial songs of Scotland.” The Montreal Star says of Miss Noxon: . *“Miss Gladys Noxon chose Act. 1. of ‘Herod’ asa vehicle to portray her wonderful power as a tragedienne, and ber acting was magnificent. The scene was one of hysterical nature, and the rapt silence of sev- eral seconds’ duration after her exit sufficiently indicated the intensity of feeling she left.” The Quebec Encore says of Mr. Lloyd: “In Frank the family of Lloyd have another son who will keep public attention fixed on the name for some time to come. Unless we miss our guess Mr. Mr. Loyd will prove one of the most popular enter- tainers on the music hall stage.” The public should generously pat- ronize this course of high-class entertainments, which are given by the fire department, the proceeds of which will go into the fund for pay- ing the expenses of the tournament to be held in Bemidji next June.

Sam ; Patneau, an employe in logging camp No. 11, of the Crook- ston Lumber company, near Kelli- ber, was brought to Bemidji and placed in St. Anthony’s hospital, having been quite severely injured while working in the camp yester- day afternoon. Patneau was “decking” some logs that were being unloaded when in some manner the skidway gave way, precipitating him to the ground. In the mix-up of logs resulting from the skidway giving way, Patneau sustained a fractured skull and a broken leg and was disabled. The injured man was taken to Kelliher and brought to Bemidjj this morning, being placed under the care of a physician at St. Anthony’s bospital, An examination of the fracture of the skull, according to the hospital attendants, indicates that the fracture is not a dangerous one, but that, with a broken leg, will necessitate Patneau’s confinement to the hospital for several weeks.
