THE GREAT RACE I'm OLD KENTUCKU"

THE GREAT RACE I'm OLD KENTUCKU"
seldom that play is written that enjoys
such measure of success, popularity
and longevity as has been accorded to
this dramatic creation. In spite of the
plumber of times it has been given here,
each recurring visit has witnessed crowd
ed houses and most enthusiastic ap-
plause.
"In Old Kentucky" is powerful and
captivating story of Kentucky life, with
a plot rounded and distinct and upon
which every episode has distinct bear
ing. It is an elaborate scenic produc-
ton az we'll. representing scenes in the
mountainous and bluegrass regions of
Kentucky with marvellous fidelity. The
company is said to he an exceptional ly
strong Ole and it will be safe to venture
the assertion that the engagement will
be profitable one for no other theatri-
cal attraction has met with such great
financial success. "In Old Kentucky
has made fortune for it's owner and
another for its author. It ID now in ite
eth year and apparently it's popularity
is rs great IS ever, and the scenic inves.
ture is as elaborate and complete az
ever before.

Mrs. Bolly Owens Shot.

Considerable excl tement was raised
here Monday by the shooting of Mrs.
Bslly Owens by Charles Bass. He says
that Mrs Owens is separated from her
husband, who works in a saloon near
the Corn Exchange. and that she has
been going with a man named Norman
Mason, employed by T. M Roberts. 1t
was the attention of this man that en-
ragged him. Bass boarded at Mrs.
Owens home for some time, and Mon
day after dinner they bad a Disagree
ment. He alleges that Mrs Ovens then
got the revolver and hit him over the
head with it. He took the gun from her
and then heidi not know what happened
he di not mean to shoot her, and he is
now afraid for his life. Mrs o ven tells al
entirely different story. She asserts
that she told Bass to look for another
boarding house, and when she did so
he tried to get her pocketbook. She res
sisted, and he went for his revolver, She
then ran out of the house. She holds
herself entirely blameless for his insane
passion. The police found the pocket
book in Base shirt. 1t contained $l8. 40.
Mrs. Owens who was shot by Charles
Bass Monday is in a very critical condi.
ton. Bass was brought down to the
police court Tuesday morning and ap-
peared entirely uncorc srned in regard
to the crime. He smiled and at times
chatted With fellow prisoners. Late,
Bass vas arreigned on a charge of assault
in the first degree, He did not waive
examination as it was thought he would
and the case, at the request of the cour
ty attorney, was set for Oct.12. BAL
was fixed at $4,000. -"
