The actress appeared in the center of the

An Astonishing Spectacle.
She wore no waist stays, and both the
tights and jerseys fitted snugly to her fig

completely by surprise, and they fairly
held their breath for an in slant when the

Wilton Lackaye, who played the hus-

what artistic purpose Miss Johnston's re-

tested, whereupon Gray threatened to shoot
him also. Complaint was made by tho
owner of the ducks and Gray was arrested
and tried for the ofense. On the trial
Gibbs swore that he and Gray had been in
Great Falls all day on Aug. q, and that
neither of them had been up the Missou4 j

of Gray. Gibbs was tried on the same
charge and acquitted.
But the trouble was not yet over. The

Tho case came up ON May Z, and as Gibbs

Frank Kenck Loses . Case with the Man
He Claimed to be Helping.
Theodors Deere brought suit against
Frank Kenck for $2S4.20, which he claimed
was due him for services rendered. Hetold
the Justice that he had been working at odd
jobs about Kenck's place for two years,
and had only received dollar or 20 now
and then ON account. Kenck said that his
sister had pointed out Deere to him as a
worthy object of his attention. She had
suggested that Deere, for his board and
lodging, and a little spending money now
and then, would do any little odd jobs there
were about the place. On this understanding
he had taken taken Deere in, housed him
some money to spend. He did not think
he owed the man anything. He had no pa
pers, however, to show that Deere was
working under any such agreement. Deere,
on the other hand, had a memorandum
book, in which he put down everything,
from driving nail to building q fence,
with the date of the work and other details.
His time was estimated at fifty cents an
hour, and the wear and tear on the grey
matter of his brain was fixed at various
sums. He figured up that Kenck owed him
$284.2O With interest. The only thing
kenck could bring to Offset this was his
claim against Deere for board, and the
small sums advanced from time to time.
When the scaling process was over JUS
tice Fleischer found that Kenck owed
Deere $239.1O, and yesterday he gave judg-
ment according. The case will be appealed.
