AT THE THEATERS

Los Angeles Theater-Canary and Led
erer's big New York Casino production,
The Passing Show. will be the attraction
for the Ave nights and Saturday matt.
nee, commencing Tuesday, November
9th. The Passing Show is described as a
s.topical review" 1t includes about
everything that can possibly take place
on the stage of theater. There is spec
tacle. extravaganza. comic opera, grand
opera, vaudeville and the various forms
OF drama, including a BIT of tragedy.
The cleverest thing about 1t is the
manner in which popular plays are
satirized, and the burlesquing OF the
striking features Of Sowing the Wind,
The Amazons. Charley's Aunt, Shore
Acres and other successes. OF course it
takes clever people to do this sort OF
thing we'll, and those in The Passing
Show are indisputably equal to the task.
The last act is probably the most enter
tanning of all, beinglgiven over to capi-
tai reproduction OF the grand operas.
The arrangement of the music is ridicu-
lousy funny IN this burlesque. for,
sandwicbed as it were, With the stir
Is that gay conceit, The Man that
Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo,
while Marguerite's aria in Faust is sum
marily shut off by the united observation
from the ladies of the chorus that they
''love their love IN the springtime.' The
wonderful Pngliacoi music is turned into
a ballet and Lohengrin leads a stu fled
swan all over the stage to the tune of
Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me Bow-wow.
This last scene in The Passing Show is
one that is made up OF nearly hundred
pretty girls. who assist in the very at
tractive transformation with which the
show concludes.
In the company of players are John L.

Col. R. F. Morton Shot
 by a Chinaman.
A COLD FLOODED DEED COMMITTED AT
cananea.-The Story of the Murder as Told by Saperiutsnde nt Self 10 "The
 Oasis" Reporter.

Mir. Edward D. Self, Superintendent of the Cananea copper mines, arrived in Nogales Wednesday night at 10 D.. m. accompanied by II. k. Morton. They left the camp at 9 a. m. Wednesday and by changing horses at Los Ayisa- dcros reached Nogales in one day.
 In an interview with representa- tive of TIE OASIS Mir. Self thus des- cribes the death of Nr. K. F. Morton the St. Louis capitalist who was mur- dcred at the Cananea mines Monday morning the 18th of March. Mir. Nor ton after giving out some supplies from the store went to the Mess house for breakfast. There he was joined by Messrs Caraway and Moreno. The Chinaman known as Jim was sitting in the kitchen when MT. Morton en- tered, and had his hand inside of his coat. He got up and walked towards the door of the dining room where NIT. Morton was waiting for breakfast Placing the pistol-A 45 caliber wea- pon- against the door jamb and hold ing it with both hands, he fired with out saying word. The bullet struck Mir. Morton about an inch behind the right ear and death was instantaneous. He fell against the table stopping his watch at 10 minutes before or about S:l0 mine time. Caraway and Moreno ran out followed by the Chinaman who went around the corner of the kitchen where he hid moment and it is said fixed his pistol. Mir. Cara way ran to the office about 75 feet away to notify the superintendent, and the Chlnaman gave himself up and was dlsarmed without difficulty.
 He was placed under guard in the assay room and subsequently, removed to the camp at La Helenits, distance of about two miles and placed in charge of Messrs Evans, McMahon, Byron and two MexIcans, Jesus Bravo and Sodari.
 When searched for weapons at La Helenita he opened his coat and shirt saying to the Superintendent, Shoot now it more easy, me want you shoot. V
 MT. Morton's son, H. E. Morton was absent at La Nina Nexicana at the time and arrived soon after the China man has been sent to La Helenita.
 A messenger was sent to San Pedro to notify the authorities. He return ed about 8 p. ID. with letter refer ring the matter to the Jefe at Jeno- verache.
 The body was not seen by the autho- rites until p. m. Tuesday. During this time the doors of the mess house were fastened and the body remained where 1t fell. Mir Morton was buried at 8 D. m. about two and half miles down the canon near what is known as the Saw Mil Camp.
 The Chinaman admitted the crime and identified his pistol as the wea- pon With whieh lle killed Ar. Morton,

but he positively denied having tried to shoot any one else.
 He was taken to Arispe at 10 p. m. Tuesday night by the Mexican author ities and there is no reason why he should not be executed immediately.
 The cause of the shooting was doubtless dispute over claim of the Chinaman for unpaid services rendered to company who formerly worked the mine and smelter. MT. Morton was preparing to settle the matter the day he was shot.
 The previous evening the man had been put out of the office where he wanted to sleep. This circumstance and the fact he probably did not un- derstand Mir. Morton's intentions, perhaps explain the reason of the mur- der.
 The murderer, an old grey haired man of perhaps 65 years of age, was badly wounded several years ago by unknown parties while staying at the camp in the capacity of watchman. After the murder he showed perfect indifference as to what was done with him and requested the Superintendent and the men guarding him several times to shoot him while being search ed for concealed weapons.

Col. Morton was born in Frankfort, Ky, Oct. 20th, 1886. At the beginning of the war he entered the Union army from the state of Indiana serving through the entire war as member of Wilders Brigade Of mounted h. fantry.
 At the close of the war he married and lived in Kentland, Indiana. He was there engaged extensively in the grain business having control of eleya- tors at the principal shipping points on the Big Four" railroad. In 1876 Mir. Morton went to St, Louis, which has been his home to the present time. For 10 years he was associated with Mccormack, Adams & Go. grain dealers and subsequently, with Gov. D. R. Francis in the D. R.

 In 1886 MT. Morton became inter- ested in mining in Sonora, and at Ma cosari operated the St. Luis and San Pablo mines. In 1890 he received mineral concession from the Mexican government and the same year went to Europe where he remained until Nov. l1th, 1894. He recently obtained control of the copper mines formerly worked by General Pesquiera and others in the Cananea mountains and had completed arrangements for trans ferrlng the properties to a New York syndicate.
 MT. Morton has been known here for some time as a man who was fear less in the pursuit of what he thought was his duty or his rights.
 He leaves a wife and daughter in St. Louis and son, Nr. H. E. Mor- ton who was associated with him here.
