A MANIAC ON THE STAGE.
Brigham Young's Son, Oscar, Attacks "a
Trip to Chinatown" Players.

Trip to Chinatown" Players.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Dec. 26.-At the
Salt Lake theater about Q o'clock last
night, Oscar B. Young, crazy son of
the Mormon prophet Brigham Young,
burst open the door of the theater box
Office, rushed into the theater, around
to the stage door and dashed across
the stage. The curtain was down and
the actors dressing for the second act
Into the first dressing room he broke
and stood frothing in passion before
Harry Conner, the Welland Strong of
the play, "A Trip to Chinatown"
which was being presented.
After trying to lock the door, the
maniac demanded the key of Conner,
crying: "I'll teach you to go to New
York and talk about the Danites."
With torrent of oaths the madman
pressed upon Connor while the
actresses in the adjoining rooms
screamed.
At this moment the property man,
Antoine Mazzanovich, a match in
strength and size for Young, leaped
upon the mailman from behind and
pinioned him.
Just then a boy was passing with
two swords used in the play. Young
released himself, seized sword and
began plunging at those around him.
Again the property man caught him
from behind, at the same time catch
ing the hilt of the sword. Those of
the women who had not tainted
rushed to their rooms.
Don't lynch me, don't lynch rue"
cried Young as he was forced into the
street and policeman called.
Young had long been regarded as
daft and of late had shown danger
Gus tendencies. Those who knew him
regard the outcome of the stage en-
counter as little short of miraculous.
Youngs present spell is said to be the
result of financial troubles.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 2G.-The

back yesterday in It's efforts to pull

that Under cover of the charter the
club proposed to violate the laws of
Florida.

was further increased by the knowl-
edge that a strong letter against the
fight has been written by the gov
ernor to j. R. Tysen. prominent
gentleman of this city.
