sINBAD IN TOWN AGAIN.
This Time 1t is the Big Original Conn
Pany-A Talk with Mr. Henderson.

pany-A Talk With Mr.. Henderson.
David Henderson's "Sinbad" company
arrived in town this morning with its
i've special cars from Leavenworth and
Mr.. Henderson himself. Three of the
cars are devoted to the special scenery
and the other two cars to the company
of eighty that produce the extravaganza.
The company that produced the
piece here earlier in the season was Mr..
Henderson's company also, but not the
one that gives it here tonight. The first
company carried less than fifty people,
and the principals are all different.
In the company this time is Oscar
Girard, who was the low comedian with
the "Fencing Master" last year.
Mr.. Henderson is perhaps 80 years of
age or more, rather stout with gray hair,
dark eyes and smooth face.
''We are on our way to the Pacific
coast" he said, 81 always go to the coast
when my company goes"
Mr.. Henderson is, or was before he
became a theatrical manager eleven
years ago, newspaper man.
He was one of the founders of the Chi
cago Herald and was for long time en-
gagged in editorial and managerial capac
tiles on the Chicago News and the Tri-
bune.
my first newspaper work. he said,
"was done when l was "A years old on
the EdIn burgh Courant which Daniel De-
Foe established in 1906; II years ago my
health failed me and my doctors ordered
me out of the newspaper business. That
Is how l got into the theatrical business.
Since then l have produced all of the
big extravaganzas that bear my name.
Possibly the greatest was "8luebeard,
Jr." 1t was written by Clay NJ. Greene,
who is now writing me two others, which
1 will put on at the Schiller, Chicago,
next season.
sit costs something to put one of those
pieces on. Before the curtain ever went
up on 'Sinbad' it had cost me over $780,
600. Blue beard cost me almost $780,
600. The cheapest was ARABIAN
Nights which cost only about $4,000.
''AlI our costumes are made in Paris,
London and Berlin. We can't get what
we want in America, and the pieces
have to be redressed every year. The
expenses, salaries and all, of the ''Sin-
bad company here tonight is about
$4,000 week.
The principals get from 500 to $500
per week. The chorus is paid all the
way from $16 to $50, and we furnish tn g
costumes. In dramatic production the
people themselves furnish the costumes,
and it is big item. Take, for instance,
Modjeska's company. A woman to
play part must furnish her
cost her $4,000 for the season. You see
SO bad after all But they've got to be
good in their line"
The company will play at Wichita to-
morrow night, then Denver for week
and on to San Francisco, to return east in

But Has a Bad Accident.
LEAvENwoRTH, Feb 27.-During the
noon recess of the A. o. .. W. lodge the
fire departments made an exhibition run
to Second and Delaware streets.

same moment, and with Chief Sprague
leading in his little buggy hot chase
began down Delaware. Almost abreast
and in front of them coming up the street
were two electric cars. One of the mo-
tormen seeming danger reversed his car
and the other halted his, but this caused
a decided mix up of fire apparatus in the
race and some crossing and recrossing of
tracks,
Just about the time things were
straig htened out and Third and Della
ware had been reached the wheels of
hose wagon No. 2 caught between the
brick pavement and the rails and frog of
the switch-used by the Electric railway
to shunt cars on to Third street-and
Firemen Taschetta and Mcfarland, the
latter the driver, were thrown from the
box. Taschetta escaped injury, but Nc
Farlaud had one of his legs severely cut
above the knee
The crowd at Fifth and Delawa re took
lively interest in the whole proceeding
and broke and ran following the fremen
down the street.

Phelps and Walt Keller, who went hunt

miles east of this city, yesterday after

hunt on Missouri soil and they must
move on. This they refused to do, when
he opened fire on them. He fired close
to Mr.. Phelps and destroyed two of the
decoys. Mr.. Phelps then picked up his
decoys, threw them over his shoulder,
and waded for the shore opposite his in
timidator. Just as he reached the bank
the fellow fired at him. Several pellets
struck him in the back and two or three
penetrated his outer clothing.
