A very fair audience Witnessed the rer-
formance of The Still Alarm' at the
Metropolitan Theatcr last evening. The
play was given with great success. The
company is good one; the one criticism
that's most demanded is a protest against
the vociferous manner of speech on the
part of Miss Crossman, otherwise a pleas
ing actress. In fact, there is q tendency
TO too great ioudness Of tone on the part
OF Mr.. Gallagher and some others. Mr..
harkins, the leading man, takes the part
OF the nero OF Mr. Arthur'S comedy
drama with spirit and vigor. and reads
with feeling and good Judgment. Miss
Edith Pollock Is competent in the SOU
Drette part, and the male quartet sings
well and is deservedly applauded. The
horses used in the eugine-house scene in
the third act are well trained and very
intelligent animals. Little Tuesday.

FRUSTRATED THE PLAN.
Timely Discovery of an Intended Jail
Delivery.
a County Jail Prisoner shows His In
genuity at Duplicating a
Prison Key.

Sheriff Stanley and his deputies sue
ceeded yesterday in spelling an adroitly
laid and bold plan to release all the pris-
oners in the County Jail.
Several weeks ago an ex-convict
named Tom Hickey was locked up in the
Jail on commitment from the Police
Court, where he had been held for rob
berry, along with man named Brown
There was little evidence against either Of
these prisoners, and both were acquitted
in the Superior Court. But while await
ing trial Hickey evidently thought the
authorities had strong case against him,
and resolved to escape. He secured an
impression on piece Of soap of the lock
of the door which opens from the Jail
yard into the alloy. back Of the court
house. He then proceeded to make a
model of the key in wood, and afterward
duplicated it in metal-using the blade of
Il table-knife for the purpose, giving il
the proper notchcs and angles with file
Hickey's trial i'll the Superior Court
came of just about the time he had the key
finished, and being acquitted. he had no
use for it. But he intended that somebody
should reap the benefit of his labors, and
turned the KEY over to James Wilson.

cisco when his time expires.
Here was where the officers got track Of
the key.
Depaty Alter discovered the existence
of it, and notifying the Sheriff and other
deputies, all hands kept a sharp eye on
Wilson. Rather than take chances with
a concerted movement on the part of the
prisoners-it was known tnat plan was
on foot for them all or most of them to
break at once-a l0cksmith was employed
to change the -'tumblers'' in the lock and
remodel the jail-key accordingly. Viii
sons key was then useless, hut as he had
Hickey's files, and was perseVering him
self, he began to remodel the imitation
KEY.
The officials thought the matter had
gone far enough yesterday, and resolved
10 put a stop TO it. Wilson was brought
out into the Sheritt's Office and told to
give up the key. He at first denied its
existence, but when told that "Hlckey
had told all about it, he confessed, and.
taking Deputy Alter into the jail-yard,
produced the key from its hiding-place
The key is an ingenious piece of work.
and, had its existence not been discovered
in time. might have resulted in grand
jail delivery. The changing OF the lock,
though was what upset the whole scheme
for escape,

HHNMII HARTLEY.
Death of the Aged and Only Resident
of Meadow Lake sLCitv.,,

'' VI tAS aged ana only Resident
OF Meadow Lake Getty"
Henry II. Hartley, ''the Hermit of
Meadow Lake" has at last been gathered
to his fathers. The old man died in his
Isolated mountain home only few days
ago.
The deceased was one Of the first men
10 rush 10 the once famous Meadow Lake
mining camp" q few miles FROM Weber
Lake, and some thirty miles north of
1r!ickee. The story of the magic rise
ana speedy fall OF the little mountain
city OF Meadow Lake has been so often
toid that briet reference thereto is suf-
hclenL In one summer it sprang into
existence, with population of several
lhHUsands. Elegant residences were
erected, and fine blocks of brick build
lngs, ana the litJle city had its stock
Doard and other features of Il busy
metropolis.
Inc mines were rich, and thousands of
tons OF ore We're taken out. But it
proved to be too rebelious to be profit
abIy worked, and the first winter found
the people leaving the town as rapidly as
they went in. Before the following spring
the phantom city was deserted ana buried
under twenty feet OF snow.
That was nearly thirty years ago.
Hartley alone staid by the abandoned
town. lie had faith in the future of the
mines, and all these years he had re-
SIDED there, Xperimenting with various
devices Tor reducing the ores, knowing
that success in that meant untold wealth
IOr him.
Death came upon him at last and the
aged hermit has abandoned the old camp
TO its tate.
