THEY WANT BIC DAMAGES,
Mr.. and Mrs. Thresher's Suit
Against the Southern
Pacific.
Los Angeles People Claim to Have
Been Insulted and Thrown
From the Train.

Attorneys Delmas & Shortridge, repre-
senting George P. Thresher and wife Of
Los Angeles, filed two cases against the
Southern Pacific Company yesterday after
noon, which contain allegations of rather
a surprising nature.
Both are suits for damages for personal
injuries and insults claimed to have been
received at the hands of responsible EN-.
ployes of the company, and the amount
claimed in each suit is $4,000. The allega-
lions made in the complaints are, in sub.
stance, as follows:
July Is last Mr.. and Mrs. Tires her. who
reside at Los Angeles, purchased two un-
limited first-class tickets to and from Den
yer. 1t was in the nature of pleasure
trip. They went to Denver over the Santa
Fe route, and on their return came by way
of Ogden and Salt Lake. Between Ogden
and Reno they first made the acquaint
ance of one M. B. Murray, who travels as
a spotter for the Southern Pacific Com.
pany. He is supposed to be an expert on
the question of scalpers' tickets, but with
what justice Mr.. Murray holds the title of
expert will probably be determined by the
evidence of this case when it comes to
trial.
Between the points named Mr. Murray
was called upon by the train conductor tc
examine the return half of the tickets pre-
sented by Mr.. and Mrs. Thresher. He
pronounced them genuine.
At Reno Mr.. and Mrs. Thresher left the
train and made detour of the country by
stage coach in order to visit Lake Tahoe
After few days at the lake they took the
train again at Truckee, thus voluntarily
relinquishing thirty-fve miles of travel by
rail that they had right to demand of the
company.
Spotter Murray happened to be on this
train, and shortly after leaving Truckee
the conductor submitted to him the re
mainder of the tickets presented by Mr.
and Mrs. Thresher.
Mr.. Murray at once pronounced them

''The Girl I Left Behind Me" Not as Good
as His Others.

Considering that the company pre-
senting "The Girl Left Behind Me" at
the Grand last night was Charles Froh-
man company and the Topeka public
has been taught to expect such great
things of the pieces bearing his name, it
was something of disappointment
After the curtain went down on the
first act the almost startling silence of
the audience. on the first floor at least,
seemed to say, "Take back your compa-
ny, Mr.. Charles Frohman, where people
don't know anything about lndians-we
don't need it"
Those Indians with their brick colored
faces may do in New York, but we've
seen Indians out here. They were called
"Blackfeet," but were just "Bowery H.
dians" from New FORK, we fancy.
The piece itself, in many points, is very
good, and from military standpoint it
was excellently put on. In some places
it is bad. Burleigh should have killed
the villain in the last act, but he seemed
to have a good reason for not doing so,
though the steam radiator had some lines
of its own just then and the reason
wasn't audible.
Burleigh was the best character in the
piece, and Mart Kelsey played it for all
it was worth
w. H. Stewart, as General Kennion,
was IdlrIy ROOQs alInOugQ Ne spoke SO
fast it was hard to follow him.
E McFadden, as Lieutenant Hawks
worth. and Duncan Preston, as Lieuten-
ant Parlow, were almost satisfactory
| They had a strong scene in the second
act, when Parlow, who had shown cow
ardice and caused a massacre, begs for
mercy of Hawksworth, who loves the
girl Parlow is to marry.
After the perhaps realistic fairness of
the first act the play warns to consider
able dramatic interest, and the stockade
scene approaches high class drama
The comedy of the piece was taken
care of by Viva Ogden as Wilber's Ann,
who was very good and Frederick Hood
as Dr. Penwick who was pretty good
| Alberta Lee as Fawn Afraid was nearer
| the Indian maiden Kansas idolizes than
any Of the others.
June Collins as Lucy Hawsworth was
graceful and spoke her lines we'll, but
! Miss johnson who plays Kate Kennion,
the leading female part, is spelling s
very nice society girl to become very
ordinary actress.
Little Dick by Master Earle Lee got
the usual applause given children Mike
Coyne as Andy Jackson had one gooc
laughing scene and that was all.
There was a touching bit of realism il
the piece last night that the audience
didn't see because it didn't know the
circumstances. On Monday Mart
Kelsey, who plays the part of Major
Burleigh, received a telegram that his
infant son lay dead at the New York
home. Kelsey idolized his little boy and

first act he has a line as follows: II

The message reached him at Wichita
He played that night as usual but when
he came to that line he failed to say it
and wept real tears. Tuesday night at
Newton he failed on the line again and
nearly did last night
On Wednesday afternoon the com
pany played to big audience at the Sol
diers' Home at Leavenworth. The hall
was packed and over 1000 old soldiers
were present
There was an unusual lack of appre-
citation during the first act and the stage
manager wondered what was the matter.
1t was explained in a moment by gray
bearded old veteran who appeared at the
stage door and said: ''Say, you folks'Il
have to talk louder. They're all eai
dow there" The rest of the lines were
fairly shouted and the audience went
