Frank Morrison, in charge of the
circulation of the Salem Daily States
man, spent the day in the city, and Sc

There was an abundance of side
splitting events at the Vogt opera
house last night. The play was "Side
Tracked" which is farce from start

court scene in the last act. Neverthe-
less there were enough 1aughable
sYents in the play rendered last night
to make up for the ridiculous ending.
