Robinson, hailing from Minneapolis,

from that city, and whom he wanted
to return and live with him. 1t ap-
peaes that they had been living to-
gether, but the woman preferred sin
gle life and came to this city and is
now employed as cook in private
family. Robinson came down and
urged her to return with him and
sought in various ways to secure her,
even to taking her trunk. As she did
not care to prosecute him, he was this
afternoon given an opportunity to re-
turn to Minneapolis which he did.
In court he claimed that the woman
left him Tuesday and came to Man
kato with another man. 1t is said
that he assaulted her yesterday and
threatened to shoot her, but he
claimed that he had no revolver
The old stone dwelling house on
the west side of the railroad track in
South Bend, and known as the proper
ty Of d. G. Evans, but which belonged
to the First National Bank of this
city, was burned to the ground yester-
day. 1t was occupied by Henry Shet-
tier, and when it took fire, about noon,
Mr.. and Mrs. S., were away, only the
children being about the premises. 1t
is supposed that the little folks set
fire to the building while innocently
playing with matches. a strong wind
was blowing from the west at the
time, which carried large pieces of
burning embers to adjoining houses
and only for prompt and persistent ac-
ton on the part of neighbors, other
buildings would have been consumed.
The roof on w. w. Davis store caught
fire three or four times, but was quick
ly quenched with water. Railroad
ties caught fire and were burned and
the grass on both sides of the railroad
track was burned for a considerable
distance. Most of the furniture in
the lower part of the burned building
was saved, but everything in the sec
ond story was consumed. Mr.. S., we
understand, had no insurance on his
property. The building was valued
at about $500, and it is said there was
no insurance covering it. Had the
fire occurred at night with such high
wind prevailing, large amount of
property would have been destroyed.

Judge Torrey has rendered a de-
cision in regard to the claims of Joseph
Hewson on the estate of the late Hen

Sl,S72 for board, nursing, etc., for six
years, and 5000 for care CT stock and
land for the same time. The alleged
heirs, David, Robert and Alexander
w. Richardson, contested this claim.
Judge Torrey decided the case on it's
merits according to the evidence, as
he found that the claim was not made
out according to law. He says in the
decision that 1.-THE claim as it stands
entered would not command the at
tention of country justice of the
peace court for one moment, if Objec-
tiOns were entered" 1t is an 'iomni-
bus bill" and is not itemized. He held
that the presumption from the evil
dence is that Richardson had been
paying Hewson for his board as it be-
came due, and he found that he in
tended to make ample remuneration
for nursing at his death. 1t is held
that nothing is coming to Hewson for
care of the farm, as he received two
thirds of the crop each year. The evil
dence is insufficient to sustain the
claimants theory of a contract or
agreement for the care and board of
Richardson during his early lifetime.
He also held that the Statute of Limi-
tations takes effect in the case as to
all the claimant claims previous to
six years Observation-Disclosures death.
He adjudged the claimant entitled to
1924 for nursing, which is at the rate
of 81 per week for six years. He was

ADJUSTMENTS.

An engagement that has been looked
forward to by lovers of the ''legitimate''
with a great deal Of interest is announced
by Manager Hall to begin Thursday
evening, when Marie Wainwright, the
beautiful and charming actress, supported
by Barton Hill and VIM. +. Owen and a
full company of competent people, will
produce Shakespeare's comedy "Twelfth
Night" The piece will be given with
specially prepared scenery. The stage of
the Metropolitan will be cleared Of all
other scenery to make room for the new.
The mounting of the play is sumptuous,
and all the fittings, furniture and hang
ings are said to be very rich and exceed
ingly elaborate in every detail. Miss
Wainwright will be the tender and gem
tie Viola OF the great poet,s
most beautiful comedy; Mr.. Hill, whose
reputation as a distinguished dramatic
artist is everywhere in this country con-
fessed to be of the higher order. will be
the Malvolio, and Mr.. Owen, q highly ac-
complished actor, will be the Sir Toby of
the comedy. Miss Wainwright's com
pany is very large, and is by the press
east and west admitted to be one of the
best balanced and disciplined troupes of
the day. 1t is scarcely necessary to speak
of the abilities of Miss Wainwright. Her
Viola appears to have "taken' San Fran

complimentary or warm, albeit the critics
confess that she does not disguise we'll as

crowning glory of woman by wig in
order to make disguise complete. Yet
the press accorded her unstinted praise,
and Twelfth Night was played by her
company an extra week in that city in
response to the popular demand, In
noticing the last presentation of the piece
last week the San Francisco Cal said:
'Fhe pull that the comedy has on the

that her triumph was simply delayed by
the movements OF the play, but was in

out of the struggling and growing love of
Viola for the Duke. In Wainwright's

The play is an odd mixture of low comedy
and speciality acting, melodrama and sem
satlonalism. 1t is neither very poor nor
very good. The comedy work devolves
mainly upon Oracle Emmett, Will III.
kohnle and Orin Mann. These three are
excellent low comedians. Miss Emmett
is versatile, of good stage presence, as
sumes ajuvenile character admirably, and
in limitations of Joe Emmett and others of
his style, is exceedingly clever. She is,
all in all. a soubrette of more than ordi-
nary ability. Mr.. Mann doubles so well
as an Irish domestic and a country land
lord 1t was difficult to realize that one
person assumed the two characters. Mr.
Kohnle was very good as the country
lad. In other respects the support was
ordinary. There is in the third act a
sensational scene of very effective char
acter, in which the heroine is by the
villain bound upon the belt by which an
engine drives machinery, and is sup
posed te be in imminent danger of being
carried into the rolls OF an iron mill, when
the hero rescues her. But for the ability
OF Miss Emmett and Mr.. Kohnle the
piece would be condemned. 1t is clean
enough, and has many bits of humor.
The play will be repeated tonight.
