Last Saturday night a saddle and
lines were stolen from the barn Of w.
III. Pfeffer and harness and two bri-
dies from Robt. Lamm's barn. A day
or two later they were found at Hen
ry Guth's harness shop, that gentle
man having purchased them from
Walter Fowler for Sc or ST. A war
rant was issued for Fowler's arrest
and he was found at a saloon last
evening by Officer Bradley and Deputy
Phillips. He gave them the slip by
way of the back door, but was caught
later. He admitted the theft to Chief
] Yates. The warrant charges him
with grand larceny in the second
degree in stealing the saddle and lines,
valued at S14.
Friday morning Fowler was brought
before the court, but his examination
was postponed until Monday morning
to give him time to communicate
with his father who is in ST. Paul. In
default of $500 bail he was committed
to jail.

Pronunciation of Two Names.

1t may seem like trying to gid refined
gold or paint the lily to suggest the pos
sibility of an improvement in the pro-
nunciation of proper names adopted by
Mr.. Days company of players, but |
have always imagined that the heroine
in LAS You Like 1t" was Ros-alind, with
the accent on the first syllable, and that
Shakespeare made a humorous point. in
the stretching Of the pronunciation in
Orlando's love verses This point is en-
tirely lost by pronouncing the name Ro-
salind, with long Il" and equal stress on
first and last syllables, all through the
play The first intimation that the mel
ancholy Jacque was a ruralized proto-
type of the Chatham street character
also comes from Mr.. Daily. George
Clark is addressed in his LAS You Like
IT. role as Jakies. Is there any author
