Simms and John Foster, two colored men,
WHO occupy separate apartments in the

borrow razor TO prepare himself to go to
church. Foster said he had already loaned
out the instrument Smms questioned the
tiuthfulncss Of this and hot words followed,
and the atmosphere got so hot for Simms

The Winder Building not Con.
dcmncd.

The report that the Wlnder building,
which is occupied by n portion of the but
reaus under the War Department, had been
condemned, is incorrect There has been
no complaint about that building, which is
owned by Mr. j. w. Clark. The Secretary
of War did request Inspector Entwisle to
examine the building on the corner of
Seventeenth and q streets, to ascertain If it
could be trusted to carry more weight In
storage, that building being also used by
the War Department. In his report on this
building Mr. Entwisc says: ~ would,
therefore, considering the thickness Of the
walls and the irregular supports to floor,
advise that no more weight than now be
placed on them, ms this building Will
neither admit Of II loading beyond that
amount nor resist any vibrating notion
The building thus reported upon is, like the
Windcr building, also owned by Mr.. Clark.

was also her makeup in the several scenes
In which she appeared. Oracle Jackson
assumed the character of Sir Arthur May
and did very nicely.
Altogether, the rendition OF the play
was beyond the expectations Of the audi
snce. and was, therefore, highly enjoyed.
All those assuming characters knew their
lines perfectly, except on one occasion in
the last scene some one missed q cue. but
the matter was smoothed over In such o
way as not to mar the effect Of the per.
Torrance. There was a little trouble at
one time in shifting the scenes. but such
occurrences must be reasonably expected,
especially In theaters where the scenes are
used but little. The costumes of the
ladies in the several acts were not only
handsome, but rich and costly. and not q
few diamonds as ornaments were worn by
the ladies. The orchestra consisted Of
Max Peters, pianist, and Frank Riegel-
huth, violinist, and the music rendered
was very good. Between the fourth and
fifth acts they played very beautifully 9
waltz from "Nanon." which was evidently
appreciated by the audience. The house
was crowded and the receipts are said to
be upwards Of 1915. It is believed the ORA
matio Club will shortly enter upon an
other play TO be given during early Spring.

Indian Troubles.

Naches, the Piute Chief, has been TO Nc
Dermit and Willow Greek looking after
his people. According to the Silver State,
an Indian named Charley killed his
squsw near Willow Greek, hid her remains
and pretended that she had been stolen by
another Pluto. The remains were found q
week ago and since then 1t has been ascer-
tanned that she was killed by her buck.
All the Indians in Qnin River Valley are
afraid of Charley. They think be 10 liable
TO kill an Indian or q white man at any
time, and they wan tho civil or military
authorities TO arrest him and send him 10
States Prison or Fort Alcatraz. An Act Of
the last Legislature extends the criminal
laws of che State 10 and over the Indians
therein, and IL seems that under that Act
Charley ought to be prosecuted for mur
der. as 1t Is said that he now admits that
he billed his squsw.
