NICK Of the WOODS.
A Packed House Greets the Carson
Amateurs.

Amateurs.
The Opera House was crowded
last night to witness the best produc
ton of Nj K of the Woods that has
ever been presented in Carson. The
music for the occasion was furnished
by Fredrick's full ochestra of Reno,
rendering melody which was worth d
half dollar of anybody's money.
The curtain rose on a group of en-
igrants, who have halted somewhere
on the plains. 1t is here that Edith
Forester and her Uncle ROLAND F.
meet Telie Doe, thu half breed In
dian girl, who causes a good deal of
trouble by falling in love with Fer
roster. Miss Blanche Davis imper-
sonates Telie very gracefully and
With good effect George Tyrrell as
Roland Forester, and Miss Grace
Cowing as Edith, were both good,
George making very handsome and
valiant lover
Telie having fallen in love with
Roland at first sight offers to guide
him and his sweetheart, they having
expressed desire to continue their
journey. Edith smells mouse, and
refuses the offer, which of course
makes Telie being woman, wilder
than ever to 90. SO she shoulders
rifle, and goes anyway.
About here Frank Bryant as
Ralph Stackpole arrives, and an
nounces in loud tones that he is Ring
Tailed Ralph, the Rip Snorting
Dealer of Death to Indians, and can
prune the tress with any man on the
ranch, blindfolded George Cowing
as Big Tom Bruce, part for which
he is especially fitted, offers to 60
him mess but is held back by
friends.
At this juncture a tri colored
panther borrowed from Woodwards
Gardens, carries off child, but be-
fore he gets very far bullet from
Ralph's unerring rifle drops him dead
somewhere back Of the scenes.
Then Bloody Nathan, alias Nick of
the Woods, Jibbenainosay, Avenger,
etc, arrives on the scene, and is
Immediately challenged by Ralph,
whom Jib. rebuke> in good shape.
The scene changes, and Richard
Braxley the william and Abel Doe the
renegade guardian of Tile, who has
been stolen from him, put up job
with Chief Wanonga to recapture
Telle. As they make their exit
Ralph comes on and does the Robin !
son Crusoe act, disc oyering several
Indian tracks, and Immediately alarms
the fort, and has an overwhelming
desire to 60 out and massacre the
whole tribe and ship their scalps East
TO old friends as momentoes. The
red men don't show up however, and
IS darkness falls upon the fort Roland
les down upon the same old couch |
which has done service for years,
relie being out late that night dis
lovers the sleeping beauty and whis
,ers warning in his ear. When she
caves him the plotters come in and
eeing him asleep attempt to take his
life but are fOiled by Telie. They
make second attempt but this time
nick arrives to the rescue and
makes a good Indian out of the
vould be assassin, and cuts a saw
'uck on the dead mans breast; makes
is mark as it were.
All this time the orchestra is play Y

licking his violin to pieces amid
ocular lightning flashes. Finally !
,oland awakens to a realization of !

Then the camp is startled by news
