Mike Belger of Fort Wayne is in the city today showing to his many friends here a handsome ring that was presented to him last • Friday evening by the memliers of the Eagle l.xige. The ring is a large gold band ring with the emblem of an eagle on it and in the center of the eagle is a beautiful diamond of about one carat. Mike was president of the lodge for the past year and on Friday stepped down | in favor of the newly elected officer and it was during the ceremony : that the members him 1 with this token of respect. Mike certainly is proud of the same and i would rather part with his life than with this ring. Amusements. “Side Tracked’ - is due here for another visit at the opera house Friday, Jan. 15., To say that the piece has been brightened up seems 1 like a’.well worn story but it is said ■ that the large audiences which assemble nightly to laugh at the ' I comical antics ofHoratio,the gentle ; man vagabond, find many features i in the play never before seen. The 1 specialties this season arc particu larij’ good and the actors portray J their indivdual parts with much •vigor.
