Powers was not nearly SO vicious as he

was always q potent political factor, and

While dealing out justice in the old city
Jail, Micsourian was brought before him
for a preliminary hearing upon the charge
of horse stealing. That was ranked in
those days punishable with DEATH But
the culprit was from Joplin and had many
friends in the camp, albeit the court was
crowded with them. all determined. as every
true Missourian Is, to see justice done. In
the midst of the proceedings a stentorian
voice was heard In the rear of the room,
shouting:
II move. your honor. that the prisoner
be discharged!"
That was all Powers wanted To cor
vict the Missourian would have been fatal
to his hopes of a reelection, and without
waiting for a second to the proposition he
put the motion to the house and declared

not very good. There was only one man in
the audience. however, who exhibited his
displeasure over their acting. He had. Of
course, been sober when he got his ticket
from Murtha. but after he had gotten In
side the tent he had acquired q jag from q
flask in his pocket. He disapproved Of the
work Of the four minor actors.

But Murtha's left hand was clutched
about the mans throat from behind, and
inch OF the mans right ear.
Clap. damn you! missed Murtha. Give
'em a hand. Ye hearT
THE man did hear, and he clapped and
stamped. Murtha's hand came or his neck,
but he still held the gun to the mans ear.
Now, yell "bray-vo," like them Frisco
greasers at the Bella Union said Murtha,
and the man yelled 1t SO you could have
the scruff of the neck and hauled him out
under the stars.
A Tragic Ending.
1.-The audience gave the actors the bene-
fit of all doubts. and applauded enthusi-
astically at every point made. In the Sec
ond or third act-I forget which--the play
leads up to q crisis. A Legree kind of a
chap, an overseer. makes q proposition to
the white slave that Is scornfully rejected.
I had been waiting for this scene expect
antly, and l knew 1t would bring the tent
down. The little leading woman was doing
her work well, and was appare ntly lost In
her part. Finally, the big scene Of the
play arrived. The Legree-lke overseer was
offering all sorts of conditional luxury to
the white slave, and drawing a contrast
between what might be and the rags she
wore. I could see that the little woman
was going to make the big speech well,
and she did:
Rags are royal raiment when worn for
virtues sake!
"One Of the m!ghtiest cheers that I ever
heard followed the speech. The men who
had seats stood up on the benches and
yelled themselves hoarse, and the little
leading woman bowed again and again.
with fitting pleased look on her drawn
face. Then something seemed to go wrong
with her. She was looking with strained
eyes toward the rear of the tent. She gave
q scream. and leaped into the audience
from the platform, tripping on her skirt
and falling; she was up again in an in
slant, and rushed down the middle passage
of the tent. Those Of US up in front turned
to see where she was going. At the rear
of the tent enc OF Tavistock's dance-hall

The trouble commenced last week when
