 The curtain fell last night on the seventh performance here of the Crawford Comedy Company to a crowded house. The audience proved very appreciative.

The blindfolded man picked out 3S96 next. This number was held by Mir. C. C. Winberly, who came for ward and received the watch.

 "Charles Yates, died, December ,. 1892" with an appropriate verse added, all printed in gold letters on a beautifully embossed and embel- lished black card, was what an en velope contained which arrived re- gently at the post office addressed to '.The friends of the late Charles
 Yates" It came about tn this way: The Associated press telegram sent out from Prescott announcing the shooting. said that Yates was "probably fatally wounded" the first reports received here indica- ting that he was. An enterprising Chicago firm that deals in post nor tenn goods and literature, seeing the announcement, at once prepared the card in question and sent it to the late friends. As MT. Yates has no relatives here, and as his wounds did not prove fata! as anticipated at first, he had the pleasure of read ing the card himself and of contem-
 plating the amount of sadness it
 would contain if read by his friends. It IS needless to add that the Chi
 cago firm has not yet received an
 order for any additional cards.
