MILLETT'S OPERA HOUSE SOLD
YESTERDAY MORNING TO
DIR. NJ. A. TAYLOR,
WHO WILL HAVE same REMODELED.
He Also Purchased the Millett Mansion
Property Adjoining the Opera
House-What of the Other
Opera House Scheme?

The citizens of Austin will probably be
surprised to learn this morning that the
Millett opera house property, as well as
the Millett Mansion, was sold yesterday
morning to DR.. NJ. A. Taylor of this city,
who intends to remodel the opera house
during the coming summer months and
have it in apple pie order by the opening
of next season. The price paid by DR..
Taylor was $50, 900, and he will enter into
possession of the property at once. The
present lessees of the house have lease
extending up to about the last of April,
the house until after that time, and pos
sibly nothing will be done until the middle
of the summer though the people of Aus
tin may rest assured that the house will
be in apple pie order by the opening of
the season next year, unless some unfor-
seen accident prevents. This property is
one of the most valuable in the city, and
when it is improved as DR.. Taylor in
tends doing it will be quite valuable adj
ditiOn to the taxable values of the city.
The location of the property is most ad-
UllTdDle lOr pace Ol dllluSelHenl, anu
it is safe to predict that when thoroughly
remodeled, as contemplated by DR.. Tay-
lor, it will be something that the citizens
of Austin can point to with pardonable
pride The remodeling of the building
will be in strict keeping with the pro-
gressive advancement of the day and will
comprise all the latest stage equip
ments, the most improved system of
lighting, plenty of private boxes, and the
interior will be most handsomely deco
rated.
In this connection itwould not be amiss
to ask what has become of the other opera
house that has occasioned so much talk
during the past few months. Austin
feels herself capable of keeping up two
first-class opera houses and would like
very much to see Mr.. Hancock start his
opera house scheme forthwith so that by
the opening of next season the citizens OF
Austin will have two frst-class Opert
houses in running operation.

LEGAL CIRCLES STIRRED UP.
Cause of the Resignation of Assistant
District Attorney Hawkins of Dallas.

cause OF the Resignation OF Assistant
District Attorney Hawkins of Dallas.
Dallas, March 10.-(Special.)- Consid-
cradle excitement was created in legal
circles this afternoon by the report that
William Il. Hawkins. assistant district
attorney. had rendered his resignation
of that Office to County Attorney Giles
pie
Viewed in the light of the events of
the past few days, this action on the
part of Mr.. Hawkins possessed pc
cuiar significance. On Saturday, Feb
ruary 20. Messrs. Hawkins and Kerby
Judge Clint's court On the Monday
following they both appeared in court,
having been released from Jail on a writ
of habeas corpus issued from the court
of criminal appeals, but were told by
Judge Clint that they could not con
tinue in the case then on trial until they
had ''purged themselves of the con
tempt" On Thursday they had hear
ing and the court of appeals discharged
them from custody.
Mr.. Hawkins has entered Judge Clint's
court room but once since the committal,
and on that occasion it is said he was
entirely ignored by the judge and yes
terday Mr.. Hawkins resigned position
which would of necessity bring him in
constant contact with Judge Clint
When seen at his home tonight by a
reporter, Mr.. Hawkins said that he had
nothing to say about the matter further
than that he had resigned the position
simply because the accumulated bust
ness with the law firm of which he was
a member demanded his entire attention
and besides he ''just felt like resigning
and resigned"
In response to the direct query as
to whether or not the recent contempt
case had anything to do with his res
ignation, he declined to make an answer
He said, however, that it was not from
any fear that he would not be allowed
to appear in cases on trial before Judge
Clint that he took the step, for he un-
derstood that the judge had expressed
himself as considering the matter settled
He admitted that the ''press of other
business" was not the sole cause of his
action, but stated that there were other
matters involved, the delicate nature of
which would not admit of public state
ment.
