full music rendered by an except ptionally
fine company of artists and a full
chorus OF thirty-tive people, and the
eye will be dazzeled with beautiful
scenery and gorgeous costumes when
the Calhoun opera company of 55 peo-
pie comes to this city. This com.
pany is now in its fifth year, and is
regarded everywhere as one of the
foremost If not the foremost light
opera company in the country today.
And this is due entirely to the en-
ergy and determination of Mr.. KlrJ-
land Calhoun who personally directs
all the productions of this company.
This season Mr.. Calhoun has engaged
much larger company than he hith-
ertO had and has augmented his
orchestra which will make his produc-
tion as near perfections as pos
Sible for mortal man to make
them. We are promised a great treat
and it is safe to say that this will be
che musical and society event of the
season, and that the theatre will be
packed upon the occasion, goes with

FIND A BABE IN THEIR CARRIAGE.
Rancher Bxby and Wife of Santa Ana
Come INTO Possession of a
FoundInq.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, March T.
Rancher George Bixby and wife Of Orange
County had an experience yesterday even
ing which they will not soon forget.
They were in Santa Ana during the day,
and their shopping kept them in town
until between and @ O'Clock in the even
ing. Their team was hitched across the
street from the county office. and their
surprise came when they had gone to the
carriage to start home.
Mrs. Bixby heard slight noise under
the seat of the vehicle and upon reach
ing down felt small bundle that evil
IDENTIFY had some life about it. She called
her husband, and hasty examination
was made. In the dim light from the
stores pretty, round.taced. plump boy
baby was discovered. The infant had a
new rubber nipple in its mouth and ap-
peared TO be in rather stupetied condi-
ton. 1t was well dressed-in fact, it was
in costly attire, and had the appearance
OF having been we'll cared for in every
way.
After the finders recovered somewhat
from the shock the officers were notified.
The infant was taken home by MIR. and
Mrs. Bixby and is being cared for. In
speaking of the case to-day Sheriff
Nichols said the child had apparently
been drugged when it was put into the
buggy, so that it would make no outcry,
it being the intention of the person
placing the babe there to have it remain
quiet until Mr.. and Mrs. Bixby were we'll
on their way home. Neither the officers
nor Mr.. and Mrs. Bixby have the slight
est clew as to the identity OF the child,
es there was nothing about its clothes to
give an intimation as to its parentage.
