hearty that it was Itself feature of the
evening, While the Power of Money
has been presented here before, it is this
time SO improved and rewritten that it is
like new play. The scenery is SO real
istic, apd, at times, grand that the cur
tain last evening had to go up several
times in response TO the manifestations OF
the delighted audience. Frederick Book
plays donble character, that of "Stuart
Forsythe .and "John Forsythe," twin
brothers. He exhibits power and force
and has a fine physique that adds much
to his character. Miss Lena Kindt as
master Willie Wordsley," the son OF
the murdered General, makes a bright
boy, mjschievovs and brave. Miss Lena
is at home on the stage and won the
audience from the first. Frank Davis as
"Peter Lucius Jolland," kept the people
in a roar or a.shout every time he appear
ed. His songs and comical sayings and
acts were exceedingly taking. Frank P.
Jamison. as Joel Carruthers," the villain
of the piece carried his part in manner
to set the gods wild. j. K. Vernon, as
"Stagboot," the tramp, was excessively
trampish, and all of the minor parts
assumed by the male members of the
company were well handled. Miss An

Clinton Jolland." The aunt Dorothy"
of Miss Emma Leland was we'll handled,

JUNEAU.

The trial of George Colgrove tor the
murder of John G. Atkins in Waukesha
County last November, occupied the at
tention of the Court the greater part of
last week, commencing on Tuesday
morning and ending on Thursday evening.
Colgrove's attorney, E. c. Arnim, OF
Waukesha County, assigned him by the
Court, interposed, ION behalf of the prison
or, plea of insanity aud upon this issue
the case was first tried. After exhaust
ing the regular panel of jurors and issu-
ing special venere the following jurors
were secured to try the case: T. J. Jones,
F. A. McCollow, J. S. Case, Michael
Casey, John Skehan, John Boyle, FREQ
Friner, Thos. Hickey, VIM. Carey, John
Stondard, Fred Henschke and John
Kelley. From the evidence it appeared
that the defendant had been twice sun
struck, twice seriously injured on the
head and subject to epileptic fits, and
some physicians and others from Black
River Falls, where he had resided for
acme time, considered him of unsound
mind; on the other hand DR.. Rice, of
Merton, who had made very close ex-
animation of the prisoner shortly after
the. crime was committed, DR.. Wiggen-:
ton, of Winnebago, and DR.. Masterson,
OF WATERFOWL, thought him of sound
mind, and on Wednesday evening
the jury returned verdict to that effect.
The case was then tried on its merits,
aud On Thursday evening at $3.50 the
jury returned a verdict of guilty of muir.
der in the first degree. The jury was
out for about six hours, there being some
disagreement as to the degree OF murder.
On Friday morning the prisoner was
brought into court for sentence, and
after making scne rambling remarks re.
fecting upon the testimony and denying
his guilt, he was sentenced by Judge
Sloan to imprisonment for life at Wau
pun, days in each year, commencing on
the 9Th of November, the anniversary OF
the murder, to be spent in solitary con-
finement.
During his stay here last Wednesday
DR.. Wigginton, of the Winnebago Hos
pital, thoroughly inspected tire County
Insane Asylum and expressed satisfaction
as we'll with the building as with the
manner Of conducting The institution.
The Colgrove murder case was the only
criminal case tried during the present
term of court. During the present week
a few jury cases and some court cases
will be heard.
