Rev. M. J. Callahan of Brady'S Bend,
met with an exciting experience on the 1st
inst that he will not soon forget. He was
driving through the rain and mud along
the road to visit his charge at PetrOlia and
when near the Kean well at lonely part
of the road man stepped out and caught
hold of his horses bride. Rev. Callahan
told him to let go or he would shoot and
the man seeing that he drew his revolver
also brought one forth and quick as flash
fired, and then ran. The astonished Rev
shot after the retreating figure, but both
the shots missed and Rev. Callahan whip
ped up his horse and got out of sach un-
comfortable quarters as fast as possible
TIE m an, however, fired several shots af
ter him and the back of the buggy bears
the marks where the bullets hit, but fortu-
Dately not the diver. Two tramps were
noticed in that neighborhood and it is sup
posed one of them made the attempt at a
holdup, but in the darkness and rain the
little priest could not tell what his assail-
ant looked like. Rev. Callahan thinks the
man did not know who he Was ''holding
up" as he only had SO cents in his pocket
at the time In the future he thinks it bet
ter not to tell a man who steps out and
seizes his horses bride that he will shoot,
but simply blaze away.-East Brady Re-

PARK THEATRE.
DEYMAN THoMPsoN's "OLD HOMES T RAD.
FRIDAY, FEB 2lst.

FRIDAY, FEE 21st.
"The Old Homestead" like an old
friend, comes to US with all 'the old boys"
aad "the gals" and the rest of the folks
that have helped to make the short hours
of their former stay pass so pleasantly .
The characters who figure in ''The Old
Homestead" are as familiar TO theatre
goers as their own friends about the city.
these stage people of Denman Thompson g
are a peculiar kind of people. All that
they do and all that they say-nay, more,
all that they ever did do or ever will say
will be brought within space of three
hours. Yet those who have known Uncle
Josh Whitcomb, Aunt 'Tildy, that good
natured old prevaricator, Cy Prime, and
1.-The rest OF EN-" seem to know their
whole lives. They do, in fact, for the e
three hours are their lives. They are
known better than people off the stage
can be, for their every act and word Is
known. Often the thought of them is
enough to bring smile or tear, and the
memory of them may, and does tighten,
many a gloomy hour. That these people
are so real and so tangible, is because they
have been created by master mind, with
a masters consummate skill, They have
bad Originals in real lie, but the in
stinct OF the master was no less required
to picture them before the world, so we
might get to know them, and to love them
as those who have seen them surely do.
the scenes and incidents of Denman
Thompson's idealic creation, '"rhe Old
Homestead" are not dependent upon "The
boast of heraldry, the pomp of power, 4"
but, on the contrary, are a faithful repre-
sentation of play that must be called a
transcript from life.
