olarv, in having entered barn in Pull
man and stolen therefrom a saddle be-
longing to E. A. Shirley, says the Com
moner. A. NJ. Craven assisted the pros
ecpting attorney in the case, while Bull
4, Rull conducted the defense. The cir
cumstances were rongly against the de-
fendant, and his accomplice, Fred Chant
and conviction was rendered almost GER
tain by reason OF a confession OF his act
made by Tripp shortly after his arrest.
The Jury was out only short while,
when. at o'clock last night, the verdict
OF guilty was rendered. The Tripp case
was rushed through in rather short order,
and this morning Judge Sullivan finished
off the proceedings by sentencing Trip
to a term of two years in the state peni-
tertiary.
The minstrel show was not as largely
attended, Tuesday evening, as was
wished, it having only an $4,000 house,
the extreme cold keeping many cold
blooded people at home. The perfor-
nance was good, the 'Jolly Jack Tars'
meeting with especial favor. The min
str, part OF the entertainment also con-
tanned many excellent features, the
songs and tableaux being a great hit.
The singing of the Colfax quartette was
very fine, and Master Conley, the u
year-old prodigy, quite took the house,
and was roundly encored. The little
fellow has a remarkable voice, and he
has the assurance to back up his vocal
ability. The stump speech by Walter
Davenport, of Colfax, was comical and
entertaining. To get your moneys
worth attend show by the Auditorium
company.

and Philomathean literary societies OF
tn public school, in the school auditor

week was carried out. The house was
beautifully decorated, and the "tather
of his country" was given conspicuous
place in the minds OF all by numerous
card board hatchets hung on the walls.
The admission fee OF Is cents, which
WAS charged netted the societies $22.4O,
which amount will go toward the pur-
chase OF books for new library.
