is the Harper House, William Morris, arreste
g. on Tuesday afternoon Of last week for praCtiC
re ing a game Of chance. The trial was pos
10 pOned by the defendant until this morning, a
* which time Mr.. Dimes put in an appeErEnC
and postponed the trial indefinitely. What oil
, ject Mr.. Dimes can have in bringing aboU
such petty prosecution is more than some {
a his most intimate friends can explain, unlei
W it is his antipithy to the proprietor Of the h
tel. II such 10 the case VIC can assure hi
w that certain parties who are furnishing sui
~ BtantHl backing for the house Will not stan
3b idly by and see their interests trampled upOl

out a moderate sized crowd on Tuesday eye
D. ing last, but was really more than such cor
q. pany deserved The acting was simply abOm
nable, not more than two or three Of the pla
be ers being up in their parts, the others beiI
rv mere soups. IL is really no wonder our peOp
al refuse 10 attend every Bnide performance givi
'e- in the hall, whereby Greenfield gets q reput
on tion Of being poor show town, when in res
mt ity IL q good company would occasionally p
lal in an appearance quite the contrary would
an the result. That we have a good hail. plen

nd their use, is undeniablo, and we fully believe
he one or two live fellows would lease the hall +
the season, and secure good talent for Occasio
al entertainments, renewed interest would
bis taken In the matter, which could not help b
3Fs result prOhtably TO both Taxpayers and man
5s- gers.
