CATAtINANs SHOCKED
a DOCTORS LECTURE CREATED A
SENSATION
4 Man in the Calaboose for Dancing
Without Ticket-Goat Hunters
and Successful Fishermen

AVALON, Aug. 2sL"Dr." II. Rysell
Burner who has been advertising himself
very extensively as the greatest living
physician and surgeon, gave his first lee
ture at the pavilion grounds yesterday al
ternoon. The lecture was to be on the
heart, lungs. etc., but It was not, and In
stead seemed to be solely for the purpose OF
blowing his own horn. Some OF the re-
marks that he made we're positively inde-
cent, and had they come from any other
than a man who writes M. D. after his
name it Is certain that he would have been
arrested and confined for using indecent
language. One of his remarks will DO TO
show the general course Of the lecture ~
He said Catalina is a hotbed OF licentious-
ness. Eyes, ladies, can tell by your sweet
mouths whether you like to be loved or
not" The alleged doctor was cute enough
to stand on the ground and let the au-
dience sit on the pavilion veranda. Other-
wise he would have been ordered on the
place. Before the endyof his harangue he
found himself deserted except for a few
who waited to see to what lengths ne
would go. For the past week the town has
been placarded with posters and folders
announcing a course Of lectures of which
the performance of yesterday was the hrst
and there are four more to follow.
An ex-employe Of the Banning company
Succeeded In getting into the cala!boose last
night. It IL one OF the rules Of the company
that none of the employees Of the company
shall be allowed to dance at the pavilion.
The company furnish transportation both
ways to the island and none but those who
come over on the regular tickets shall
xrytn q mo n n
Bacon, was warned off the floor and re-
piled that he was not an employe OF the
company. He was not, but had been up
to about an hour before employed in the
capacity Of wine man at the hotel Ascer-
tanning that he had no ticket, he was told
that he must get off the floor, and he re-
piled that he would not. and the result
was that he was taken to the calabose for
safe-keeping until after the dance was
over, when he was released.
The goats had visitors yesterday, and the
visitors were so pressing that nine of the
goats returned to Avalon with them, The
Avalon climate did not seem to suit them,
for they were all dead when Avalon was
reached. The prettiest pair of horns that
has been brought in since Prof Dozier Of
the Normal school brought in the goat
that was known as the Catalina monarch
fell to the gun of Ed West. Mr.. West killed
only two goats. but both had beautiful
pairs Of horns.
The other lucky goat hunters were w.
C. Ware, e. w. Ware and s. A. McKuen.
The party were out with Guide Gus
Knowles, and the goats were found on the
top Of Razorback, the highest peak on the
island. The gentlemen kept to their horses
all the way and are the first to ride over the
mountain for years. Getting over behind
q ridge so that they could just see over and
not be seen, the party waited for the goats
and seven were killed In Just about as
many minutes.

Ana yesterday afternoon and invited a
