The visitors played a hard, smashing
game, characterized in the first half by the
repeated line bucking of Laswell, and in
the second by phenomenal work of the
same nature by Hartzell, who was used
manv times in succession for rushes
through the Olympic line between guards
and tackles or through the center trio, the
effective massing and crowding of the
Butte men being a great aid in helping
their man forward.
Again, but this time near the beginning
of. the game, ellis skirted the left end in
one of his inimitable dashes. and gained
seventy yards before he was forced in
touch. Just two and a half minutes after
the first kickoff Butte had scored touch
down. Something of the persistent char
acter of the Butte play may be seen by
reference to the accompanying diagram.
PLAY was furious, and particularly when

the play and main factor of the cast, and
will be seen for three nights and Satur-

1t is questioable if any farcical theme

many years. not having appeared outside
of New York city for the past eight years.

as in Too Much Johnson, this talented
author will be- seen, both as playwright
and comedian, more than ordinary inter-
est should attain.
The play is described as being study
in laughter-not of that kind which sue
cumbs to buffoonery, but that which
yields to pure and brilliant wit. The
laugh begins with the rise of the curtain
and never ceases until its final fall. The
author acknowledges that the idea of

ROBBED BY EMPLOYEES

Goods Embezzled
Charles Emery, the Colored Driver, Said
to Have Been Dishonest

W. S. Allen, the furniture dealer OF 1872
South Spring street. is a sufferer from the
ingratitude and dishonesty Of two trusted
EN- mployees. Their names are Henry T.
Newman, the shipping clerk, and Charles
Emery, colored the driver OF the delivery
wagon. They were arrested last Satur-
day night by Detective Insley and locked
in the police station, being entered on
the book for suspicion. Today. how.
ever, warrants will be issued charg ing
them with embezzlelnent.
The particular offense consisted in tax
ing furniture belonging to Mr.. Allen and
selling it to second hand dealers and any
others who could be found to take it.
Some time ago Mr.. Allen became aware
that there was considerable of a leakage
in his stock, and could not imagine
whore it rested. He reported the matter
to Mr.. Insley, who at once went to work
on the case. He found that the goods
were taken from the warehouse, as New
man had entrance to that department
too. and were given to Emery, the COL
ored driver, who delivered them to the
customers of the firm of Newman &
Emery"

THE HERALD's DEvELOpnENT

The Herald of yesterday, August 18th,
contained twenty-four columns and half

greater number of columns than was ever
printed by Los Angeles newspaper on any
day of the month of August. when it is gem

show the marked increase in This line
of business in The Herald. a comparison
is made with the issue of August 5, 1874
a year ago. The paper OF that date con-
tanned less than Mira columns of small
advertisements. portion of which was
constituted by classified directory.
In the whole Issue, containing sixteen
pages, there were but thirty-six columns
of paid advertising, as against seventy
eight columns in The Herald of yester-
day.
1t is showing of the character which
indicates the growth OF a newspaper more
forcibly than any other argument. People
do not advertise in newspaper unless
they obtain substantial returns, and the
fact that The Herald is showing such a
very marked increase is evidence that the
advertisers are obtaining " hat they seek

1he company. which is under the man
agement of Charles Frohman, is said
to be one of the best ever gathered to-
gether for the illustration OF the farcical
side of life the cast requiring all good
people. Among the names Of the princi-
pals may be mentioned: William Gill
lette, Ralph Delmore, Charles j.. Bell
Robert Hickman, Charles X. Reed, Miss
Maud HGlam. Kate Meek. Lorraine Dreux,
Benjamin Hendricks Charles Crosby,
Cecil Lionel and others.
The locality of the play is on board a
steamship at sea and upon sugar plant
alton in Cuba. This admits of handsome
scenic surroundings. which are precisely
the same as those used in the New York
production.
Some idea OF the story may be had from
the following: Gus Billings, the leading
character, is a festive married man, with
a mother-!n-law, who gets INTO firta-
ton with French woman. and uses his
capacity for twisting the truth to eover
his bad behavior. lie tells his wife that
he has purchased a planaton in Cuba.
and must go there and look it over. He
departs accordingly, and, unfortunately
for him, his wife and mother in-law take
sudden notion to go also, and are
shortly followed by the jealous husband
of the French woman.
Billings has no plantation, but he
makes shift to borrow one. At Cuba, To-
seph Johnson owner OF an extensive es-
| tate near Santiago, mistakes Billings for
| his intended fatber-in-law and Mrs. Bill
| lings ior his fiancee. Billings tells his wife
that Johnson is the overseer of his plant
alton. All proceeds nicely till the fiancee
aud her father arrive. Billings presents
| them to Johnson as poor relations. and
they are made to work for their board.
Johnson proves a fire. eater when the
truth comes out, and the jealous French
nan also makes trouble. He corners Bill
lings at last and forces him into duel,
ana there is dreadful time all around.

quite in keeping with the development
of the business interests OF Los Angeles.

Authorize 1t to he Done.

The request OF the boa rd OF assistant as
SCISSORS for an extension or the time for con-
pleting its work OF reassessnlent had an
able second this morning from three promi-
nent property holders, Messrs. H. A. Willard.
John Joy Edison, and Jesse Wilson, who
called to confer with the Commissioners
concerning the proposition
The conference was private, and lasted
more than an hour, and the matter was
thoroughly canvassed. with Judge Morsen
OF the board OF assistant assessors preent.
In q recent letter To the assessor, and by
him strongly indursed to the Commits
sioners, the assistant assessurs called
attention to the situation ana asked that
Congress be asked to extend the time to
June 80, 1896.
They cite the fact that since March 20,
1895, they have been continuously in the
field, except when engaged in the excise
duties and leaving out about five weeks
in which they were engaged in assessing
new buildings. The law as passed requires
that the board shall, On or before the first
Monday in January, 1896, make and de-
liver to the assessor a return In tabular
form Of the amount, description, and
value of the real property subject to be
listed for taxation. This valuation shall
be determined from actual view Of each
separate tract or lot.
The board says to do this will be
physically impossible, and hence the re-
quest for the extension.
No serious detriuient TO property interests
can ensue, and this fact was emphasized
by the gentlemen who called on the Com
missioners to-day.
1t is shown that the returns for the city
proper can be completed in time and the
only result will be to postpone the pay
DieDt Of the November instaliment Of taxes
on county realty, making the entire annual
payment come due in May following.
There are SO l-2 square niles of territory
to be caDvassed by the assessors and, as
stated, the law requires each separate
piece of realty to be examined sepa rately.
The Commissioners have not yet indicate
ed what they propose to do In the matter.
but there is every probability that the re-
quest for the extension will be made to
Congress.

The first case under the Edmunds Utah
act, since its provisions were sustained
by the court of appeals, was brought to
the attention of the police court this morn,
ing, and a warrant issued for the two de-
PENDANTS. -
Phillip Mills, colored preacher, said to
to be pastor of N cunt Airy Baptist Church,
and Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, also colored,
living at No. 725 Princeton street, were ar
rested about 6 O'Clock this morning In a
room together.
Under the provisions of the law, If a
single man and married woman live as
man and wife, 1t is crime for both, diff
fering from the old laws that made 1t q
crime only for the woman. Mills was the
single man in this case, the woman being
the married.
1t is very probable that this case will be
Immediately followed by a great many
others, as the police say that there are a

poorer classes of whites, who are living to-

length from two to five years.

The company was the defendant how
ever, in anolherscase to-day. Robert Ward,
conductor of ash.iA o. passenger train,
was under arrest, charged with opstructing
II street northeast by stopping his train
of cars across That street, preventing the
street cars from passing and delaying other
traffic The evidence showed that the
train was held at that point for eight and
one1ialf minutes!
In defense the conductor and engineer
OF the road testified that the block signal
at that. place displayed a red light when
the engine reached IL, and the engine could
not pass that signal. Tue delay was due to
a coal train that was unloading at a coal
yard adjacent to the tracks.
Judge Miller held that with the danger
signal displayed the engineer could not
have done otherwise than to wait for
clear track, aud dismissed the case.
