The Del Conte opera company have
again been in trouble al Duluth. Their
old manager, Crawford, followed the COM |
pany and offered them per cent in
crease in salaries if they would desert
the new proprietor. Crawford, the eX
manager, had a special train in readiness |
to take the company to Kansas City, |
and had teams at the stage entrance OF
the theater to take the effects of the |
company to the train. His scheme was
defeated through force, and at midnight |
Sunday the new man was holding the |
company property in the theater with
an armed guard. 1t is claimed that
Thompson has a three-year contract
with each member of the company, and |
that he does not propose to allow them to
violate the terms of these documents If .
he can help it. The members of the COM
pany want to go with Crawford, but can
not leave without their baggag ge and cos
tunes.
