THE LAST DAYS OF POMPElE
RAINS Grand Spectacular Productfors ~
and Fireworks Display in milwaukee,

PAINS Grand Spectacular Productfo r-
and Fireworks Display in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee is the only city in this,
section IN which Pains gorgeous specta-
Gle, 1.-The Last Days of Pompeii," will
be seen this season. The magnitu de-
| and great operating expense of this
| big open air exhibition have hereto
tore prevented It's production in any
| but the largest cities of the country
and 1T was secured for one week, co M
mencIng Monday night. July 27, only
ny the enterprise of a syndicate Of
local business men.
faint Idea of the magnitude of this
show may be had when one considers
the act that the scenery alone, used
to produce likeness of the doomed
city or P0mpe11, covers an area of five
acres OF ground, and is monnted on mas
sve frames of wood and iron. Real
buildings, 20 to 80 feet in height, repre-
sent historically famous structures
while IN the background towers grim.
old NesuYius, nearly 100 feet high
On ma mmoth stage IN front of the,
scenic city, $50 gorgeousiy costumed
performers participate In the glittering
spectacle. There will be five exciting
Roman hlppOdrome races, by sixteen
beautiful thoroughbred horses and
eight daring male and female drivers
large ballet of fifty pretty girls: big
speciality company of noted sensational
performers; an array Of skilled athletes
and acrobats in all feats and postures
of the Roman hippodrome; intricate
evolutions Of the Roman guards and
POmpellan maidens, and enchanting
music by military band of twenty
five musicians. In front of the stage.
flowing between the audience and the
performers, is large lake of real water,
which is covered with illuminated dom
gOlas, etc.
During these reyelries, the volcano
begins to show signs of bursting forth,
and the festivities are finally brought
10 termination by the flood of real
fire and lava from the treacherous We
suvlus, preceded by flashes of light
ming and startling earthquake shocks.
The doomed city is soon buried in the
fiery debris, and its hundreds of peo-
pie seem to have perished with it, so &,
mysteriously have they disappeared.
Grand as are all the scenes leading,
up to this startling climax, the most
beautiful feature follows; for above the.
ruins of the desolated city takes place aa
display of Pain s renowned
Manhattan Beach fireworks, introduc-
ing all the novelties of aerial and aquatic.
pyrotechnics.

4 Blackberry Tragedy.

Monday morning last Charles Hun, shot and almost instantly killed D. Brown. commonly known as "Horse'' Brown, st his ranch twelve miles south of Blackberry. The causes that led up ,o the shooting, as learned by our report. CT are AS follows: Hunt had leased the horses of D. Brown and vas so brAod the c,lts equally for himself aud the latter. On ihs morning of the tragedy Brown had gone out on the range and brought in number of mares and colts which he said he intended 10 brand. Hunt pro tested and said he intended to turn the amin .ls from ihs corral. Brown said if he turned the animals out he would kill him. Hunt went to his house and got Winchester rifs, came back and began to lot down the bars. Brown called 10 him from the outside of the corral to d'ssist. In response Hunt picked up his rifle and fired point blank at the old man. the bullet striking and breaking the left arm above the elbow. As Brown started to run toward his honse, which was cne hundred an fifty feet distant, Hunt fired again, the bullet going wide of the mark Another shot fired as the old man reached his door, struck hIm in inc back and caused his death within a few minutes. He managed to crawl into the house and fell upon his bed. As soon his horse and went into Hack berry, where he told the story of the tragedy. A coroner's jury vas empineled by Jus. tice Porter and the party went out and found things as described. Dr.. Knight went from Kinyman and held an autopsy on the body tuesday afternoon. He found that one oi the shots had entered the front uf the left arm above the elbow and passed out a, the back part, breaking the bone. The other shot had struck in the back above the hip on the left side of the back oone and had severed the lilac Jy in it's passage through the body aud came out to the left of the naval. The abdom. inal cavity was filled with cotted blood and ietsd matter. IL was the opinion of the doctor that death must have been almost instantaneous.
 The jiry after inqIiring into the matter brought in verdict charging Charles Hunt with the death, and the coroner issued warrant for his arrest He was brought t, Kingman Tuesday night and lodged in jail.
 An examination was to have been held in H ,ckberry today.
 Wbile the case looks dark against Mir Hunt, se regard it as the deed of badly frightened, overgrown boy. Hunt is said 10 have been easily imposed upon, and every little COW ooy on the ranges at times bullied him. Brown took pleasure in telling of the number of men he had killed, and other people had worked on his feelings Tn regard to how Brown would do him up if they qnarreled, and when Brown told him that he would kill him If he let the horses from the corral, he took the precaution to arm himself with rh. as Brown always went armed While the deed was deplorable one, we hope the people will hold their individual ooinions in sbeysnce until the case is passed upon hv he court. s
