Cranky Dick Mansfield, than whom
there is no more despicable actor on
the American stage-no matter what
there may be across the pond-has
been told by a court to pay Miss Mary
Sanders, at one time member of his
company, the sum of $3.50. because of
his failure to keep a contract he made
with her During the progress of the
case, it was argued by the counsel for
the crank that Miss Sanders had dis
pleased his royal jaglets because she
had entered his presence and had
seated herself without first asking for
and obtaining his consent that she
might do so.
This is reminiscent of an occurrence
in this city when Cranky Dick" or
Crazy Horse as some of the theatre
cal employees like to call him, played
here. He was behind the scenes in the
afternoon, making himself just as
much of a nuisance as possible. No
one paid any attention to him, as all
were busy. Suddenly there was roar,
and it was a question as to whether
or not it was advisable to turn on the
fire alarm. After an investigation had
been made, it was found that all the
trouble had originated because the
transfer man had brought in the lead
ing lady's trunk in advance of Mans
fields baggage. The leading lady,
then, as is now remem bered. was the
woman he afterwards married.

The Logan Journal says: IF Cough
lin looked like the picture in The Her
aid with his name under ii, we cannot
see why anyone should scruple about
taking a shot at him without request
of the court or any provocation what
ever. If he looked like that, his face
must have been his misfortune" The
judicialm military editor of the Journal
is hereby assured that the picture was
from a photograph of Coughlin; that
it was a faithful representation of the
same, and that the photograph was a
counterfeit of Coughlin. True the
man had changed somewhat since his
incarceration in jail, but this was from
the last photograph taken of him, with
