FRIENDSHIP ~ THE FAR VEST

Mr. Edward Hill, Of Garfield State of Wash
ington, very likely has his faults like the rest Of
us. To err Is human, and Mr. Hill is in jail
charged with the murder OF ii fellow man who
WAS assisting some police officers in their work
Of arrcstng him, Mr. Hill, for prolonged tarrying
ut alcoholic stimulants. The murder accomplished
Mr. Hill abruptly fed to Arizona where he was
arrested three weeks ago. Temporarily arrested :;
for sooner had he been locked up than he
broke out and fled TO the mountains The poet
holds that "on every height there lies reposc -
but Mr.. Hill didn't find it so The height upon
which hc hid himself was destitute OF reposc
owing to the fact that the substantial reward of
~ 1000 was offered for his rccapturc. OF course
Mr.. Hill realized that number of poor but enter
prsing citizens of Arizona would do their best
to earn that snug sum, so naturally he had more
anxiety than reposc on his height IL was not
long before he eurncd that his incarceration
was only question of short time since the
rcmorscle~s Arizona Sheriffs posse had him sur

Tor friendship. The telegram devoted to his re-
cent movements states that learning that the
Arizona Sheriff had him surrounded Hill rode
INTO Phoenix with friend so that the latter
could get the 81 900 reward" That is the kind
OF man he is. In the hour of his extremity he
remembered he provided for his friend Mr..

With the Easter awakening the stage puts forth
new attractions and makes fresh show of vitality
and enterprise. The regular dramatic season is
about to close. but it will close in merry mood
and under suspicious circumstances. 1t has been
n laborious season. and perhaps part OF its effort
has not been wisely directed. In general how
ever, its results have been pleasant and beneficial
to the public. while, in particular features it has
established valid title to kindly remembrance.
The fine revival Of Twelfth Night" accomplished
at Days Theatre, and the signal success OF Miss
Ada Rchan in the poetic and lovely character of
Niola would alone suffice to make il memorable
The advent Of the clever and expert Italian
actress. Signora Dusc. has contributed an element
of novel interest. A new comedy by NJ Sordou
-" Americans Abroad" at the Lyceum-has had Il
remarkably successful career and the fact is
notable that this piece was written for the Amer
lean stage and had its first representation in New
York. Mr. Bronson Towards comedy OF Aris
tocracy' and Mr.. Oscar Wilde's comedy Of "Ladv
Windermere's Fan" have met with much nubIic
attention, and have filed Mr. Palmers stage
during the entire season. There has been
abundance Of farce Such stars ~ Mmc. Mod.

The baseball season OF 1898 is now fairly
under way, and the followers OF the game are
more than satisfied with the opening in this
CITY. The attendance at the Polo Grounds
and the general interest shown prove that
the National game has passed through its
worst struggle and has reganed its old-tlmc
popularity. 1t has been apparent all along that
the only thing needed to revive the interest
here was good team. The closing OF the
poolrooms will, of course, help baseball and

Moreover, some thirty persons are stated To

125 people are known to have been sleeping in
the hotel at the time when the first alarm was

little time for escape. The flames spread to
the railroad depot, which, together with a

QUESTIONS BOTHER HENRY SOLOMON
The purchase Of goods valued at $1,000 AT auc-
ton by David j. Solomon appears TO be the chief
ground on which his brother wishes to have him
declared lunatc. There were other minor reasons
told before the commissioners yesterday but they
seemed to all revOlve about this one. one Of the
Jurors asked Henry. the brother, what other
reasons besides overdrawing his account at tn"
bank, complaining of headaches. buying the goods
mentioned. and his rritability. had induced him to
believe his brother to be insane. Henry evidently
could not answer. except to say that he was in
fuenccd by what men about their places Of bust
ness had told him Of Davd's actions He did not
explain why, when 1t his own brother who

until p. m. but the not finished, and II
