RIOT in A

Attachment
At the Savoy in Chicago During
a Performance.

CROWD MAKES A RUSH

Chicago, Nov 26-Miss st. Ormond
was performing her act in His French
DolI' at the Savoy theater, 294 State
street, at 9:45 o'clock last night, when
a man darted across the stage behind
the dancer. Pushing the stage man
ager from his post, he pressed a button
which shut Off the electric current and
plunged the house into darkness.
Sounds of a scuff1e Immediately fol-
lowed, but through the gloom the au-
dience could see nothing of the trouble.
A minute later, however, the lights
flashed up again and a dozen actors and
actresses were seen clustered before the
intruder, who had a revolver in his
right hand. Behind him was another
man, apparently companion.
"Out with him." shouted some one in
the audience, and in all parts of the
house the cry was taken up. Scores
made a rush for the stage and several
men who had occupied front seats leap
ed over the footights. Down with
him. Throw him OUT xiii him.
Lynch them both" and many other
menacing remarks were shouted by per-
sons in the audience.
The men threatened by the crowd
drew to one corner of the stage and kept
the crowd back by displaying a re-
been turned into stations and when the
officers arrived they found the audience
in a threatening mood. 1t was nearly
midnight before the crowd could be
dispersed.
The trouble at the theater was the re-
suit of an attachment writ, which Con-
stable H. B. Goodrich attempted to
serve. The writ, which was directed
against Fred Mott, lessee, was sworn
to by Harry Clifford, owner of the the
ater, and had been issued Wednesday
by Justice Everett to satisfy an alleged
debt of $1Z5. It called for all the Incl
dentals of the house, including scenery
and electric dynamoS. Many in the
crowd claimed Goodrich exceeded his
authority when he shut off the lights
and left the audience in darkness
The constable first appeared at the
theater with the writ just before the
curtain was to rise on the first act and
after 800 persons had paid admission.
He then refused to allow the perform
ance to go ahead, and after an hour
of waiting the audience became impd-
tient and begun clamOring for the re-
turn of their money. Stage Manager
Charles Dunno stepped out from be-
hind the curtain.
The mana ger explained to the audi
ence that writ had been served, but
said a settlement was being made and
that If all would remain quietly IN Their
seats the show would be started within
a few minutes. Another half hours
wait, however, exhausted the patience
of the crowd, and many began to dis
play anger Finally a number resorted
The ticket office was broken open. but
no receipts were found. and there was
a concerted attack upon the stage
Scenery was pulled down and torn and
the theater employees pleaded in vain
for the devastation to stop. The police
were called and when they arrived in
two patrol wagons a partial settlement
had been made and the show was III
progress.

STATE HOUSE is COLD.
Penitentiary Mines Seem Unable to
Supply Coal Enough.

The coal famine has struck the state
house. Thursday noon the hremen
banked the fires in the furnaces and no.
titled the clerks that they better stay
away from the state house in the after
noon, because they could not have any
fire and keep any coal over for yester-
day. Part of the radiators were kept
warm yesterday morning, but in the af-
ternOon the fires were allowed to go
down again and the clerks shivered
around all the afternoon. Steam was
started this morning to warm the rooms
and if coal comes today it will be kept
up but if not the fires will be banked
again. In some of the offices when the
fires get low the rooms get so cold that
the clerks cannot write.
If this were the first time that the
coal supply had run short nothing
would be thought about it, but it has
been a frequent occurrence. An order
was sent to the penitentiary for coal
last Monday, but the penitentiary au-
thOrities are careless about filling the
orders and the result is that the state
house has to go cold.

bine.
At Abilene yesterday J. S. Hollinger,
president of the Gillespie Commission
company of Kansas City, filed an at
tachment against Gillett for debt of
$4,000, which, it is alleged, was secured
with intent to defraud
News of the attachment spread rap
idly, and all day lawyers were here busy
Investigating the case in behalf of Kan
SaS City, St Joseph and Denver firms
that did business with Gillett. The reg
lister of deeds of Dickinson county has
been compiling a list of chattel mort
cages given by Gillett and finds that
those still in force will come close to
$1,OOO,000, on most of which Gillett was
the only signer.
Gillett left Woodbine Tuesday, osten-
sibly for Texas, saying that he would
ship more cattle.
On Thanksgiving day he appeared at
Kansas City and met representatives of
all the firms at the Coates House. The
meeting decided that as Mr.. GilIett had
given up and the cattle were without
feed that each firm should take possess
sion of the bunch of cattle upon which
it has placed chattel mortgages and
should handle the cattle as seemed best
for all concerned. This was done yes
terday, representatives of all the com
mission firms interested appearing at
WoOdbine, Abilene and Herington and
looking up and taking possession of the
lots of cattle on which they had ffoated
the paper. Gillett then disappeared.
A telegram was received yesterday
saying that forty-two carloads, about
1000 head, had arrived at Strong CITY,
and were in the yards awaiting orders.
The home ranch had no Instructions as
to what to do with them.
Reports were current in Abilene last
evening from good authority that sew
eraI cases of duplicated mortgages have
been found, and several commission
men say that when the investigation
is over it will be found that there will
be innumerable similar cases.
The brunt of the blow will fall on
Kansas City commission men. Abilene
banks handled none of GilIett's paper.
At Woodbine this remarka BILE VoIIne
mamie is but so years old-has for th5
past four years been building up a
most remarkable estate. He has spent
money like a prince, making it the
model farm of the world. One gets
some idea Of what this farm is like
from the fact that upon it Gillett has
this fall been feeding 20, 900 head of cat
tie, more than any other man ever fed
before.
For these cattle Woodbine farm had
a solid mile of corn cribs, filled full Of

IT is BAKER.
Who Will Be Federal Judge
This Story Looks Authentic.

The following special dispatch appears
in the Cincinnati Enquirer of Nov. "a:
Goshen, Ind, Nov. 23.-A telegram re-
ceived this morning states that United
States Senator Lucien Baker, of Leav-
enworth, Kas., is to be appointed Unit
ed States district court judge for that
state. Senator Bakers brother, Judge
J. H. Baker, of this city, was a couple
of years ago appointed to the same po-
sition for Indiana, and at the last cleo
ton Francis E. Baker, son of Judge J.
H. Baker, was elected to the Indiana
supreme bench. Senator Baker was
born in Ohio in 1916.
1T appears that the above informa-
of Senator Bakers relatives and bears
the appearance of being reliablel
