The following from the San Francisco
Examiner will interest Mr.. Riggs many
friends in Butte:
THE Charles Riggs Dramatic company
has been rather successful, but it struc x
breakers in San Francisco" explained
Business Manager Fullwood, as he Sc
cured attention of Warrant Clerk Graham
in No. police court Saturday. "Mr.
Riggs is playing a desperate hand" con-
tinued Mr.. Fullwood. "A few nights ago,
after the performance. was seated in q
saloon near the Alcazar. Ny overcoat
was unbuttoncd and / stood and spoke
to the manager. Suddenly he grabbed
my undercoat and tore off the buttons,
filched my pocketbook and distracted
railroad ticket from here to Kansas City.
He threw the book on a nearby table and
gave me the horse laugh" In proof of
this statement, Mr.. Fullwood displayed a
vacancy in his pocketbook and exhibited
a cutaway coat which lacked buttons.
He was accompanied by n mutual
friend, who explained that Mr.. Riggs
owed his players about $1,000, and he him.
self had abandoned his part because his
salary had defaulted until it reached 1856.
Mr.. Fullwood said that Mr.. Riggs owed
him a handsome balance. "He owes the
railroad company $3.50 on the return
tickets" said Mr.. Fullwood, "and in view
of the fact that the Aicazar engagement
is a frost, / fear he will get the balance of
the tickets and disband the company. In
that case the dozen members will have to
walk out of town. l want two warrants,
one for the robbery in taking my railroad
ticket and another for. the battery when
he ripped open my coat and distracted
tho pocketbook." The warrant clerk gave
him a battery warrant, holding that the
assertions attending the loss of the ticket
were vague.
