The name of Nick Roberts has long
been identified with the better produc-
ton OF Humpty Dumpty; but seeing in
the old version no means Of Improvement
he has completely revised his version
and offers it now in new form, making
it now an entirely new pantomimic show,
adding the three clowns, Dromeo, Girl
maldi and Pedro, in their drolleries.
Nothing of the slightest objection is ever
seen in his company, either by
word or action. but the entire
programme is devoted to the best of
humor. They will appear at the Los
Angeles Theatre on next Thursday even
ing for four nights and Saturday matt
nee. The management have wisely put
the prices within the reach of all-25c.,
50c., 75c. Three hours of fun is prom
ised, and the little folks will have the
chance of seeing their nursery rhymes
exempli6ed. Crowded houses are an
ticipated.

Am Overturned BUGGY.

About II O'Clock last night, G. A.
Johnson, a blacksmith, residing on
Buena Vista street, while driving along
Spring street, turned his horse on the
wrong side of pile of bricks, near Fifth
street. The result of his mistake was
that the buggy was upset and johnson
thrown out On the sidewalk. Fortunately
he was not hurt, and the only damage
done was the loss of a hind wheel and
the swapping of both shafts. The wreck
of the vehicle was left at the scene of the
accident, and johnson led his horse
home.

CORONER'S VERDICT.
The saloon Keepers Blamed for William
O'Hearne's Death.

The Coroner's jury empanelled to
investigate the death of Vim. o. Hearne,
who Was killed on the Walker road the
night of the 18th, found that the man
was undoubtedly drunk when he left
the city. He was known to have been
drinking in Friar's saloon, on the gravel
road, at the junction, at Billy Echter-
nach's, at Billy Hamblln's, and at the
Ohio House. After looking up all the
facts and hearing all the evidence that
could be procured, the jury brought
the following verdict:
''Wm. OHearne, a resident of the
township of Talmadge, Ottawa county,
Mich, came to his death on the night
of the fifteenth day of May, 1889, be-
tween the hours of 10 o'clock p. m,
and o'clock Il. IN. IN the morning of
the following day. While he was in
an intoxicated condition fc drove north
on the Alpine gravel road, in the town
ship of Walker, and when about one
and one-half miles north of the toll
gate on the said gravel road, the wagon
tipped over and fell upon him, causing
him severe internal injuries, and there
by produced death. From the evi-
dence it appears that no particular
blame can be attached To any one ex-
cept those that sold him the intOxi-
eating liquor. Deceased was 50 years
of age"
The Coroner stated that several
saloon men were at his Office yester-
day, apparently anxious to hear what
the verdict would be.
