cold Innocence" is one of those de-
lightiully original comedies that are
rarely presented to the theatergoing
public. and it is supplemented Ivy 4" Sir
Henry Hypnotized," another admir-
able creation which will keep the
audience fairly wild with mcrriment.
Tim Murphy made the character of
Maverick Brander, in the "Texas
Steer" and the press accord him even
higher round of praise in the charac-
ter of Green, in "Old Innocence"
There has not been an adverse criti-
cism Of him or his company. and he
has appeared before the most critical
audiences all over the land.
The trial of Jack Cronin, on an in
dictmcnt for the murder of Ferardi,
the Italian fisherman, has been before
the Superior Court, with Judge FL
lott presiding, the past week. The evil
dcnce that has been given is substant-
tally that outlined on the examination
for commitment. The case was admir-
ably presented by County Attorney

torney Vance, and the defense just as
vigorously conducted by Attorneys
Israel, Warner and Winstock. At .
o'clock to-day Judge Elliott finished
his charge to the jury and they inn

Messrs. Eckert and Wisner have
formed a copartnership which, while
we hope it will be profitable to them
selves will surely be of of great conven-
irncc and benefit to the producers of
this county. They propose to handle
all fruit, grain and vegetables pro-
ducts, ON commission. Mr., Wisner
will open warehouse in Seattle and
Mr.. Eckert devote his whole attention
to collection and shipment to him OF
each crop in its season. 1t is thought
, that this plan will serve a good pur
pose until our people are able to take
care of their products as has been
, proposed, by erection of an evaporator
and creamery.
, 1t seems that fire company No. 2
, has not disbanded after all, and that
3 the announcement of such q result as
! having happened to the City Council,
, Monday night, was an attempt of some
hot-head to frighten men for per-
Torrance of official duty according To
. conscience. 1t is not the first time
? that such bulldozing has been at
+ tempted and it may not be the last,
, but it is at best very ineffective way
of accomplishing result, 1t is now
, announced that the company will
, hold meeting to set forth their
J views with regard to the selection of
driver, and that John Stewart, Geo.
Allen and Geo. Forbes were appointed
committee to present their case to the
Council.
T The entertainment given by the
ladies of the Eastern Star, in Olympia
) Theater, Tuesday night, was very en-
{ joyable affair. The ladies' mandolin
club showed much proficiency on that
3 instrument and the guitar. Mrs. Per-
cival, rs usual, sang we'll and received
an encore. One of the best numbers
was Jack and Gill;" by quartet,e of
ladies. AS dramatic professional ex-
pressed it: "The harmony was ex-
quisite, no matter what may be said of
the sentiment of the piece" To Mrs.
, FOllansbee, upon whom the exacting
duties OF management fell, much
credit is due, and the result was cx.
ceedingly gratifying, when we con-
slider that it occurred ut time when
our city was in poor mood for enjoy
ment from the death OF two of our
5 prominent citizens.
Chas. E. Blaney's big extravaganza
success, "a Boy Wanted" which
, comes to Olympia Theater next
Wednesday evening, is one of the
largest and strongest farce comedies
!, on the road to day. in addition to be-
ing one of the biggest financial sue
cesses Of the past season; and it goes
without saying that the capacity of
the house will be tested on their APP
pearance. The company is made up
