valuables. About midnight Friday night
he was awakened by noise coming from the
rear Of the store The proprietor grabbed
large revolver which he keeps under his
pillow and rushing to the door shouted to
the men to desist or he would shoot.
scurrying Of feet was the reply to his chal-
lenge as the men made off down the narrow
all ~
NJ. Jonascn had no sooner regaincd his
couch than he heard some one prying
at tho front uour. uuuer the impression
that he was surrounded by hiEhwaymen he
again donned his warpaini and determined
to make some of his night visitors bite the
dust Upon getting to the front of the
store, he deserted two men working there.
AS Mr. JOnasCn was about 70 unlimbor his
artillery the men caught sight of him
through the plate glass window and took to
their heels, making good their escape An
examination of the rear door the next morn
ing disclosed deep marks in the wood as
OF a heavy CrOwbar, which had been used
to force il off it's hinges. Mr. Jonasen has
purchased an extra revolver and will train
one hereafter on both the front and back

The announcement Of something new in
local theatrical circles was sufficient to
attract crowded house to Boyd's last
night to witness at Gay Coney Island"
Tho production is in the hands of Mathews
and Bulger, and they are surrounded with
some very clever talent. The work is a
light and airy affair calculated to amuse
and furnish means of passing a pleasant
evening. As the name Indicates, the story
deals with that popular New York pleasure
resort where the fun-loying element OF the
great metropolis gather in season. The
story has rather himsy foundation, but
serves it's purpose in enabling the COM
pany to introduce some exceedingly clever
special features, Lew songs, dances, etc.
The plot hinges upon a young woman, who
is forced to marry in order to comply with
tho provisions of her fathers will. From
this unpromising beginning the author has
arranged a series of ridiculous situations
and created some very interesting CharaU-
ters. The piece is. elaboratcly staged and
the costumes of the women are exceedingly
rich. The scene shpwiug COney Island, with
its numerous resorts, is one Of the features
OF the production

Western foot bah players are fond of
boasting what they would do If they had
chance at some of the crack eastern

the western universities This season most
of them are playing a scientific game that
