ATTACKED BY LEAVITT
Mile. Rhea Sued Upon an Alleged
Breach of Contract.
Effort to Get Even-Cases Before Judge
Stubbs-In the Criminal
Court.

Late yesterday afternoon Michael B.
Leavitt, the well-nown theatrical manager,
filed suit against Hortense Rhea, now play
ing an engagement at English's Opera
House, asking damages in the sum of 5000
for failure TO fulfill a contract. Mr.. Leavitt
alleges in his complaint that he entered
into a contract with Frank Dietz, man
ager for the defendant, with authority to
bind her by contract, for a weeks engage
ment at Denver. Col. BY the terms of the
contract she was to furnish a company OF
stars and appropriate scenic and mechanic
al effects for the production Of the "Queen
of Sheba-" The date was for the week be-
ginning Nov. 20, 1893. Leavitt AYERS that
during the latter part of the month of
October he received a telegram from Dietz
asking that the date be Cancelled, the only
reason given for canceling the engage
ment being that on account of the hard
times the business of the theaterS in Dem
YER had fallen off to such an extent as TO
the date and insisted upon the fulillment
of the contract, but Dietz failed to keep the
engagement.
Mr.. Leavitt was at Cincinnati and came
to this city in answer to a telegram, for
the purpose of filing the suit. He said yes
terday afternoon that the Rhea company
had filled an engagement in San Francisco
and jumped from that city TO an Eastern
point during the time of their engagement
with him for Denver. With the complaint
was filed an affidavit in attachment, and
the writ was placed in the hands of Dep
uty Sherin Conard for service.
Attachment papers upon the box-office
receipts were served last evening.

in 1862, TO send to a distant city to find a

the American a~daptability and quickness,
and our adversary only a little better prep
aration. 1t will not be safe TO allow war
to come upon US again in that state, for
wars pace has greatly quickened, and the
arms of precision now in use call for a
trained soldier. Under our system We will
never have a large standing army, and our
strength and safety are in a general dis
semination of military. knowledge and
training among the people What the man
and citizen ought to know in order to the
full discharge of his duty to his country

will SO much aid TO enlarge our State
militia, and to give it efficiency and char

taste and training acquired in the school
will carry our best young men into the
militia organizations, and make those Or
carnations reliable conservatoTs of public
order, and ready and competent defenders
of the national honor"

Boycotting the big Four.

A special dispatch from Colfax. Ind.
says: The Big Four railroad is just now
being boycotted by the merchants and busi-
ness men of this city. A short time ago a
system Of interlocking switches was COM
pleted at the crossing of the Big Four and
Michigan division of the Vandalia roads in
this city. Since these switches were put in
operation the fast trains on the Big Four
do not stop. This want of recognition on
the part OF the Big Four management is
considered rank injustice by the business
men here. and they nave accordingly
thrown off all Of their freight business to
the Vandalia, which makes a competing
rate from indianapolis and other points
when the two roads come in competition.
Failing to stop the Big Four fast trains
here not only affects merchants and ship
pers. but is perceptibly felt by hotel men,
