| The Indian show, under the title name of
the Mexican Comedy Company, which was
billed to show at Workman's Hall again last
Saturday night, did not materialize. They
engaged the Graniteyille Brass Band to play
for them, but as the show under Spotted
VOLTS management was behind with our
boys to the tune of s., the boys thought to
make the matter little more safe and sure,
demanded their money in advance, but as
the thing that talks was not forthcoming,
and, as it was no pay no play, the show was
a total failure. After refunding the admls-
sion money to the half dozen or so that were
present, they packed their paraphernalia
and wendell their way back to Ironton; but
before leaving they announced their inten-
ton of returning the following Monday
night. They failed, however, to put in their
appearance. Perhaps it was well they did
not.
