AFTERNOON AND Evening.
Two fine Christmas DAY Performances
nj the Opera House.

Joseph Grismer and Phmbe Davies
will appear at the opera house Christmas
matinee and evening. The nere an
nouncement of their coming should be
sufficient to insure good houses Tor both
performances. There ere uone among
those who come to Cheyenne who are
greater iavorites, and they do much to
deserve the favor which is accorded them.
Mr.. Grismcr presents that which is fresh
and commendable. Then. too, he is an
excellent actor, trained in a good school
and effective in his methods. Every one
knows and admires the work of Mr..
Grismer's wife, charming Phoebe Davies.
She is one of the sweetest women on the
stage and shares the honors with Mr..
Grismer in his productions. Another
claim which Mr.. Grlsmer has upon our
theatre-goers Is for the uniform excellence
at which he maintains his company. He
does not give himself and Miss Dawes
undue prominence, but aims at a com
mendable whole, a performance which, IN
Its entirety, shall be a worthy one. They
will present for the matinee Christmas
The Burglar, a four act comedy-drama
by Augustus Thomas, founded OF
"Editha's Burglar, the story of which
was ORIGINALLY written by Mrs. Franci.
HOdEson Burnett. 1t Is a charming play,
almost idylic, and bears no resemblance
whatever-aS some have suDpOsed from
the title-tO that hurglaristIc preparation
The StolcdLcdy. Christmas night will be
seen the domestic comedy-drama Fernch,f
by William Hawo,th. The story is based
on events connected with the civil war. 1t
is said to be strong in human. interest,
with much that is new In situation aud
bright in dialogue and the comedy is con,
slant and contagious.

AT ii OPERA mousse.
An Amusing Play on the Board Las,
Evening.

The much talked of comedy, d.. Bill,
was produced at the opera house last
evening to a fair sized audience.
The play is bright, full of action and
amusing situations. The company is
composed of very clever and capable peo-
pie. Mr.. Wilson as DIR. Biz has all
the ease and polish of Nat Goodwin in
portraying the character Of one of the
boys who has missed noDe Of the good
things Of life.
Mr.. Bakers picture Of that slow witted
genius, an ideal dude, was a blight one
and had no trace of overaoting.
Miss Stokes gave 2 very energetic tinge
to the play in the Kangaroo dance
which proved a great hit with the au-
dieDce. TIE other ladies OF the com
pauy were very acceptable in the char
acters assumed and the entire perform,
ance was an ENJOYABLE one.
The mex attraction will be on Christ,
mas when the well known Grismer,
Davies company will give a matinee and
evening performance.

ANOTHER WARRANT OUT
A Search for Frank Canton Shows
Him to be Missing.
Further Evidence Said to be Sc
cured in the Murder Cases.
The Work of Investigating Being
Kept Up in Johnson County.

News reaches here by wav of Douglas
that another warrant has been issued
for the arrest of Deputy United
States Marshal Canton, but he is
nowhere to be found, having probably
gone to Hot Springs, S. D., where
he had been thinking of going for
some time past to be treated for iufam-
matory rheumatism.
1t is now said that more complete evil
dence has been Secured and hat a num-
Der of conservative meu who were con-
WINGED BY the evidence at the preliminary
hearing are no longer so completely salts
fed. The main witness is still Charley
Basch. Tn scene OF the Tisdale murder
has been visited and thoroughly examined.
Basch is said to have more fully told
what he knew and what he believed.
Close examinations and measurements OF
the foot prints left by the assassin have
been made. 1t is also said that two or
three other people caught a glimpse of
the assassin and that testimony Of a posi-
lively convincing character is now ready
to be produced. 1t is on the ground of
this fresh information hat the second
warrant was sworn out against Canton.
The circumstances OF the attempted
assassination of two men. Champion and
Gilbertson, early in November are now
recalled. The statement at first printed
sounded rather ishy but the evidence is
conclusive that the assassination was
attempted but was fortunately foiled by
the two intended victims, several shots
being fred on both sides. 1t is believed
that the assassins had been in camp for
several days in that neighborhood. Two
beds and n number of trlnkets were found
on the spot and in the same vicinity six
horses bearing a brand very well known in
johnson county as that of a prominent
cattleman.
There are four men who are suspected
OF having been concerned Ito the extent
OF i~nstigation if no further) in the recent
transformations. Excitement has appar-
emily died down, but there is a deep I'm.
dercurrent of feeling which is much more
dangerous than the boisterous actions of
the first few days succeeding the murders.

The OBSERVATIONS on THE death of LAW
RFNcE BARRETT by the Paris Figaro must
have been gratifying to his family and
his admirers. Figaro referred to BARRETT
as the well-known American actress and
added, Mime. BARRETT was So years old,
but she always appeared so young and
pretty that her admirers could not believe
her TO be over 30." There is more of IT,
but this is quite enough TO illustrate the
ignorance of foreign journalists about our
American celebrities. The truth is that
BARRETT was unknown to the Parisians,
and the writer in Figaro seeing the an
nonnCement of the death of LAWRENCE
BARRRTT an American actor, made the
very natural mistake of supposing the de
ceased was woman. LAWRENCE is a
feminine name is France, the masculine
thereof being LAURENT. II is quite easy
10 understand how Frenehman, know
ing nothing of the case except what he
could gather from the mortuary notice,
concluded ii was madame and not a
monsieur who had died

A CORRESPONDENT sends us a problem
in euchre as follows: Last night / was
playing euchre, two-handed game, with
an acquaintance. ] noticed that in deal
ing he would sometimes give two cards
first and three cards next; but at other
times he would reverse this, giving three
first and two afterward. IL struck me
there was some monkey business going
cn and objected to changing the form Of
the deal insisting that my opponent
should stick to one way of doing it.
either deal two first and three next or rice
"r'o, but to keep up one style right
through. ] hope you will decide this for
Ee and inform a constant reader whether
enc can reverse the deal whenever he
wants to-
We fear our correspondent has no case.
IL is permissible to change the deal rs
often MS the dealer wishes. There is no
rule requiring the dealer to give either
two or three cards first. II simply says
that five cards shall be dealt in all, two at
one time and three at the other. The
dealer, however, cannot change the order
during any one deal. That is to say, he
cannot give himself two cards on the first
round and his opponent three. If he be-
gins with two he must give all two and 50
on. The best thing in case like this is
not to play with man who seems to be
tricky and as TO whose perfect fairness
you have any doubt. When you are
playing with the right sort of man yon
won't care whether he deals two cards or
three at time, or how often he changes
the arrangement.
