II tbe interestipg piece of intelligence which ID
now foatng about the West be correct, the Aihe'i-
can stage is TO be uniGuely reinforced next Seaso"
The new candidates for fame behind tue lpot"enV'
are Colonel Frank James and ex-Marsn"i Jim
Cnurtright The Colonel is already pretty wen
known to an admiring and discriminating PupHc
"a n brother of the gifted Jesse James ana rs hlm-
self gentleman of great forco OF character anu Oh
singular dexterty with firearms. 10 the Ooione'
lasting credit be ii said that. although he mas hau
extensive dealings with guns and pistols he never
WAS known to explain. after one OF his VICTIMS hau
died with his boots on that he didn't know 1t
was loaded" I he Colonel is suspected OF having
his faults. but several sheriifs Will bear Witness
that he invariably knew il wasn't unloadeh. ana
that he generally managed to get the drop on the
ether gentleman.
Ex.Narshal jim COPYRIGHT, who is to be assocl-
atcd with him in elevating the American stage Is
not known TO so large circle rs the Colonel, bit "a
glance at his demonstrates that he IL worthy
to keep company with the Jamcses lie Is re-
ported to have killed half n dozen people. " not
counting Mexicans" IN New Mexico. some years
ago. This record must be regarded as warranting
the inference that the ex-Marshal is man OF spirit,
while the fact that in making I'D bis regular lists
of killed he declines to count Mexcans suggests that
in his way he is a conscientious person. we
org at TINS writing Wnctner III Dctn 'uo-
tom of the amcses not to count Mexicans when the
shooting was good. But it probably has been. Inc
name of the play IN which the Colonel and the ca
Marshal will go on is not stated. Its character,
however is set forth with sufficient cearness IN the
account of one of its with which lovers OF
the drama have already been furnished. Thus
One scene will represent the IN which the admir-
ing citizens Of Worth liberated their eN- MARSHAL
WI detectives from New MeNlco ana
kdnapI ed him. The three officers took thelr pris-
onrr restaurant for meals for day or t"o ne uay

Obviously it would be rash to conjecture simply
from this digest of a single scene that 1t Is the
lonryearned-for "Great American Drama W
which the Colonel and the cx-Marshal are to pro-
duce But it looks that way.
There is one serious question arising Ill cohnec-
tion with the play which the respective law olll-
GERS of the localities where it W II be billed may be
called upon to answer. Is il not a nuisance when
