Birds of Feather and ManAgsr L. NJ.
Crawford Disagree.
There was some trouble at the Grand
opera house last night about settlement
between the Birds of Feather company
and Manager l. M. Crawford. MIR.
Crawford was out of the city today and
couldn't be seen.
Mr. +. w. Stroh, manager and proprie-
tor of Birds of a Feather company, said
to a JOURNAL reporter, 81 dislike coming
into town and having trouble such as
I've had with Mr.. Crawford and don't
propose to let it rest here. My trouble
with him began at 1t. Joe, where 1
caught the ticket taker putting two
tickets in the box and one in his pocket;
l put him out of the house right then
and there. At Leaveuworth we played
to standing room and to an enthusiastic
house. In both places as here my con-
tract showed that l was to receive so per
cent of the gross receipts and
that is the way we settled those houses.
Last night Mr.. Crawford demanded so
per cent instead of 40 for himself, not
only of Topeka, but of Leavenworth and
st. Joe receipts also.
"The business at these places had been
settled and I refused, whereupon he
threatened to have me arrested for OBJ

"Biy company is new, and expect to
materially improve its weak points,
/ and in view Of this as we'll as Mr.. Craw-
| ford's evident dissatisfaction I would
have made some accession if he had not
demanded SO much"
| Mr., OrIin Crawford said that Mr..
Stroh's company was not what it should
have been, and that an attempt was made
to cancel its engagement here. but the
| contract would not permit of that.

in One of Its Varied Forms.
City Prosecutor Bird didn't care to
cross examine John Roth in the Sc
which was heard in the police court this
n morning, in which the latter figured as
defendant under the charge of disturb
ance of the peace. John Roth is an
elderly German who lives at 1926 Polk
street. He is a queer old man and the
neighbors say very irritable.
Next to him lives Samuel McKitrick.
who owns some peach trees which are
very close to the Roth promises. The
trees hang over on the adjoining lot. Mr..
Roth thought he was entitled to the
peaches that hung on his side of the
fence. The McKitricks didn't object TO-.
his picking those peaches, but when he
broke the limbs and began throwing
them over into their yard it made
difference. Some of the neighbors testi-

Girrs Room Causes Strife.
PINE BLUFF, Ark, Sept 10.-An at
tempted assassination occurred near
Dumas, Ark, last Saturday, that is con-
necsed with the most sensational features
among two highly connected families
and their friends in Dssha county, this
state.
Late on the night of July 4, when Miss
Sadie Seamons, the daughter of Joshua
Seamons, a prominent citizen, returned
from an entertainment, and was about to
retire in her room, Isaac Bankston, who
was enamoured of her, stepped, as
she alleges, from closet in
which he had concealed himself. The
young lady screamed, and when her
parents appeared they saw Bankston
run away with pistol in his hand.
He escaped and was indicted for at
tempted burglary, assault and in
tent to kill. Returning Friday he sur
rendered to the authorities. He was
waylaid Saturday aud shot at by the
father and brother of Miss Seamons, as
he says. This statement was partly veri-
fed in letters aud kilograms TO State
Attorney S. C. Martin, of this city, who
wired the sheriff of Desha county to ar
rsst all parties TO prevent bloodshed
i The friends OF Miss Seamons claim that
her rejection of young Bankston as a
suitor goaded him to the act of entering
her room for the purpose of compro-
missing her, while the young man as
serts that he came by appointment.
Young Bankston is the son of Isaac
Bank6ton, who was killed while sheriff
Of Desha county in an impromptu duel

duel was the outcome of quarrel be-

now 1T HAPPENED.


A number Of our more than nine thou
sand list of subscribers failed to receive
the mail edition on time yesterday. This
was because of the necessity of rebuild
ing the JOURNALS web press, looking to
an enlargement of the paper by the adj
dition of column to each of the eight
pages
1t was thought the change could be
made gradually without any delay in
printing the regular paper. The jour
NAL, however, was obliged to accept the
courtesy of the Capital and print the en-
tire edition last evening from the Capt.
tai press.
The change will be completed within
few weeks, and meanwhile hereafter it
is expected the work will not interfere
with the regular issue from our own
press.
It is worthy of note that last
evenings paper was the first
and only issue printed on any other
than our present press for more than
six years.
The STATE JOURNALS press is one of
the very best pieces of printing machin-
cry in the country. 1t was built by Mr..
John ]. Clause of Chicago, who is now
in the city experimenting the important
change. The machine and foundry
work is being done by R l. Cofran,
whose plant and employees are entirely
capable of turning out machine work of
the highest grade.

breeze with which to sail the second leg.
At 1885 while the boats were on the
second leg, the haze lifted little and
the leading boat presumably Valkyrie,
still continued nearly half a mile ahead.
According 10 the New York Worlds
miniature yachts the Defender was
ahead At 2:45.
At 2:36 Valkyrie did not seem to have
increased her lead over Defender and
the excursion fleet was keeping back so
as to give the American yacht chance.
The yachts were very close to-
gether but Valkyrie was ahead. The
Luckenbach now took up her position
at the finish line. Defender was pushing
Valkyrie hard and 1t was believed here
that the American yacht might win on
time allowance. The yachts have now
about three miles more to sail in order to
cross the finish line. Valkyrie had q
clear lead of a quarter of mile.
The Valkyrie finished at 2:55:40, and
the Defender came in at 2:57:57.
Walkyrie was given an ovation by the
assembled feet of excursion boats and
yachts when she crossed the line. Com
ing in for the last three miles the Amer
lean boat picked up considerable lost
ground, and Notwithstanding her protest
flag gallantiy finished. AS they came
down to the line they were dressed alike.
Corrected time: Valkyrie 2:5509; De-
lender 2:55.56; Valkyrie winning by Al
seconds.
In regard to the protest lodged by De-
fender against Valkyrie at the start all
that can De said at present is that the
regatta committee will hear the case on
its merits and decide upon it later on. It
IS thought proba bic that the decision of
the committee will be that the two yachts
sail an extra race.
