The Schubert Symphony Club gave a
very pleasing as we'll as q very artistic
performance at the opera house last eve
ming, but owing to the fire excitement
and other attractions the attendance
was not as large a they deserved. II
people really knew the merits of the
company more would desire to hear
them, and as the company has q day to
spare at this point they viii tonight
give an equally attractive program at the
opera house. This will be a good OPP
portunity for all lovers of pure fun and
high class music.
A young urchin from the country by
the name of Buckstadt came near being
guillotined for q little devilishness this
forenoon. While standing in front of
Flitcroft's store he lit q mamoth fire
cracker and threw it in front of a horse
tied to the sidewalk. The explosion was
terrific and q runaway narrowly
averted. Mayor Patterson pounced up
on the boy and attempted to run him in,
but the lad skipped. Sheriff Fox made
a grab for the culprit but he eluded his
grasp and pursued by the city and
county authorizes made a bold dash for
the country. BY an unfortunate clip
he fell into the gutter and man coming
up straddled him and he was made
prisoner. The little vagabond was
white az q sheet, confessed and repented
of his crime right there and then and
after a serious admonition by his honor,
the mayor, against the evilcopsequencee
of a life Of lying and la~wbreaking was al
lowed to depart . sadder and a wiser
boy.
