THE COMEDY PRO TEN
A Successfully Given Entertainment by the
Unity League

A Successfully Given Entertainment by the
Unity League
An excellent representation of the lively
comedy Pro Tenn was produced last even
ing by an amateur theatrical club known
as the Amaranth under the auspices of the
Unity league. An appreciatve and re-
sponsive audience comfortably filled the
annex to the Unitarian church. The stage
which was neatly draped in magenta for
the occasion made a pretty setting for the
play.
The characters were we'll assigned and
the interest in the play sustained through
out. Don Carleton as the retired merchant
was wonderfully made up and his most in
innate fellow clerks at the First National
bank could not have penetrated his dis
guise. Clarence Ferguson as the secretary
pro tenn was perhaps the star of the even
ing. Miss Mamie Longley as Mrs. Shep-
herd acted the petted invalid to perfection.
Misses Mary Hazletiue and Lillian Carle-
ton won applause in the love making
scenes. The unthankful part of the william,
DR.. Blank, was we'll rendered by Irving
Knight, who certainly belied his natural
character, and the spinster was excellently
done by Miss Nlable Longley. George
Durham was an exceedingly amusing
nephew and tumbled through his rug ged
course amid uprorious laughter. Nor
must be forgotten the dignified and fault
lessly attired man servant, Robert Wan
kowski. Pro Tenn certainly deserves a
repetition.

personal colloques resulted and the report
finally was tabled by a vote of 80 to IS.
In the course of the report Mrs. Avery
urged that the success of the cause in Utah
clearly demonstrated the advisability of
securing the aid of political parties through
planks in their respective platforms.

Another Grand jury Report

The grand jury yesterday presented an
other report on the county offices. and in
cidentally returned another Indictment. The
inquisitors filed into the court room of de-
partment one about IL 80 o'clock, headed
by Foreman Storrs. The Harris burglary
case was in progress, but proceedings were
suspended for the purpose of receiving the
report. One indictment was presented, on
which bench warrant was issued, the bond
being fixed at $4,000.
In filing the partial report, Foreman
Storrs intimated to the court that his in
structions were being carried out, and that
a number of experts were now engaged on
the books of the various municipal officers.
When this work was concluded the grand
jury gould present its final report.
Judge Smith took the report and tucked
it away in his inside pocket, saying that he
desired to read it before allowing it to be
filed. This he would do in the evening,
and ne would be ready to give it out for
publication this morning.
1t Is believed that the indictment return
ed is against e. I. Bryant,who it is alleged,
swindled Mrs. Harriet E. Hoxie on land
deal, inducing her to advance money on
some worthless land in the river bed. A
complaint has already been sworn to
against Bryant by Mrs. Hoxie, charging
him with perjury in connection with the
matter. He has been arrested on this
charge, but was admitted to bail in the
sum of $1,000.

SAN FRANCISCO, j an. 23.-The steamer
Homer from Coos Bay and Coquile river
with freight and passengers, is overdue
twenty-four hours and the news brought by
the steamer Arcata. from Yaquina today,
is not very promising for the vessel. The
Arcata sighted the Homer at 1920 on the
morning of January 81, making slow head
way against the heavy seas, The Homer's
port propeller shaft was broken and the
vessel was making about three knots with
her starboard engine. The sea was very
heavy and it is feared that some accident
of a serious nature may have overtaken the
coaster. The Spreckels are preparing to
send a tug to the Homer's assistance if she
does not come in tonight.
The Homer is under charter to the
Spreckels company and is regular pas
senger vessel. There are number of pas
sengers on her from Southern Oregon.
Captain Cousins of the Arcata says that
the disabled steamer was several miles off
Northwest Seal Rocks, Crescent City bar,
when he signaled her. She did not want
assistance, SO the Arcata proceeded on her
voyage south, arriving here today several
hours behind time on account OF heavy
weather,

Mcclellan was arrested, convicted and

A Sensation in the Myers Life
Insurance Case
MRS. FULTON WAS DECEIVED
Sw0re TO the Document Without Rea d.
ing 1t Over
Hnny Statements Which She Says She Did Not
Make-Sale of Main Street Railway
Stock Confirmed

There was a decided sensation before
Judge Shaw in department five of the su-
perior court yesterday afternoon during
tho trial of the case of Mrs. Isabel Myers
against the Bankers Life association of
Minnesota to recover $4,000 due on insur-
auce policies on her husbands life. The
insurance company, as has been stated, is
fighting the payment OF the money on the
ground that the policies were secured by
fraud, the company's examining physician
having been imposed upon. The company
entered into a contract with the late A. b.
Lawson to secure the surrender of the poll
cies for $4,000, and Lawson did get the
policies, paying Mrs. Myers 500. The
plaintiff put in her proof Wednesday and
yesterday morning, when she rested, and
the defendant commenced the introduction
of testimony. Everything progressed favor
ably and without special incident until an
elderly woman, who gave her name as Mrs.
S. j. Fulton, took the stand. 1t happened
that Mrs. Fulton had made an affidavit, at
the instigation of Lawson, in which she
was made to say a great deal about the
Myers-husband and wife-who had lived
in her house. The affidavit was very dam
for the insurance company. Mrs. Fulton
yesterday fatty denied that she had ever
made many of the statements contained in
the affidavit, and to which she had sworn.
She said that Lawson had come to her
house and talked the matter over with her,
after which he left. The next day he re-
turned with the affidavit prepared and
type-written. He told her that it was SUBJ
stantially just as she had given it, where
upon she had attached her signature and
swore to the affidavit before notary. Mrs.
Fulton's testimony caused a flutter among
the attorneys for the company, whose wit
ness she was, and she was subjected to
very rigid examination. The old lady
could not be shaken; she told just what
she had said, and what she had not said,
and when she left the stand it was the gen.
eral impression that large hole had been
punctured in the company's case. The
trial will be resumed this morning.

Confirmed the Sale.

Judge Clark yesterday confirmed the sale
of 725 shares of stock of the Main Street
and Agricultural Park railway, made by j.
Downey Harvey, as administrator of the
estate of John G. Downey, deceased. to the
Alvord-Paci1c Rolling mill syndicate. 1t
appears that the syndicate has purchased
the road and that the transfer was made
January L.
A copy of the contract for the sale was
filed with the petition, which shows that
the total number of shares of stock is 1000
at a par value of 500 each: that the stock
holders, chief of whom are j. W. Broderick
aud Mrs. Jesrum. sell at $500 per share.
They deposit the stock in the hands of IL.
w. Hellman, trustee, and receive payment
of IS upon each share, the balance to be
paid in thirty months and to bear interest
at per cent. Then the Main street and
Agricultural Park Railway company pro-
coed to issue $35O,O00 of ten-year 8 per
cent bonds of which $15O,000 are to be
railway and otherwise expended to it's bet
terment. The other 100000 of bonds
are to be deposited with Holman an d
Broderick, trustees, and to be delivered as
called for by the syndicate to be used for
the betterment of the road. Neither the
trustees nor the company are to have any
thing to do with the expenditures of this
money, except to see that it is spent upon
the road.
If at the end of thirty months this syndl-
cate do not pay the remaining $25 per
share and take down the stock from the
hands of Trustee Hellman, then the deal is
decla red off and all money paid is for
feited. Under this arrangement therefore,
100000 has been paid on the transaction.
