cocHRANE AND THE BIJou.
lie Gets Mixed Up in the Theatre
Business.

Church & Graham. creditors OF Pro-
prietor James W. Smith of the Bijoa
theatre. having succeeded in getting
sheriff Cochrare appointed receiver Of
the theatre. have since applied for an
order to show cause why the theatre
should not be closed Chief Justice
Boyle, as soon as he returned from
Mount Vernon Yesterday, granted the
order. requiring Sheriff Coehrane to
appear before him at p. III. to-day to
show cause why the theatre should
not be closed.
On Wednesday when il was an
nouneed that the Bijou would be open
in the evening, its patrons little knew
that Sheriff Cochrane was running the
show, his managers being Assessor
james NJ. Quilter and Jack Feigh,
formerly the proprietor of the New
England hotel The other creditors
claim that the sheriff is not making
the theater pay But Church & Ora
ham. with an apparent effort TO check
mate Mr. Smith and the other credit
ors, are now endeavoring TO have the
Biioa closed entirely. Judge Boyle
issued the order as much TO see
whether the sheriff was getting profit
able returns out Of il as anything else
Some attorneys say the sheriff l. re-
sponsible on his bond for his action in
assuming possession of the theater,
and that on his part it was very in
discreet move.
