The San Francisco papers detail
at length the circumstance of the

the refusal of the Quarantine off

failure to do so was due to the for

which furnished excellent reading

Mrs. Morson Attacked by Negro High
wayman.

About O'Clock yesterday evening Mrs.
j. B. Morson, wife of Captain ]. B. Nor
son of Troop d, was robbed of her pocket
book in Twentieth street, between Avenues
e and F, by a young negro who followed
her from the heart of the city.
Mrs. Morson was on her way home and
noticed the negro walking behind her as
soon as she crossed the railroad. Several
times the lady took the precaution to look
back, but felt uneasiness, as she did
not think the negro meant to attack her.
When she cached the middle OF the block
between Avenues E and f the bold high
wayman cautiously crept up behind her.
and, grasping her by the arm with one
hand. he snatched her poeketbook with the
other and fled up the alley.
Mrs. Morson was badly frightened from
the encounter, but returned to the nearest
store and telephoned the police department.
Mounted Officer hamilton responded and
was given a complete description of the
negro The pocketbook was made of green
sealskin with silver trimmings, and con-
tanned $5.25 and a number of Mrs Morson's
wishing cards.

~THE PLAYS

Hoyt's "a Texas Steer with Herbert
Sears, Chas. Stevens and Katie Putnam in
the leading roles, was the attraction at
OBrien's last night. Katie Putnam is
trifle antidiluvion, but she is good in the
role of Bossy, and the other characters are
we'll up to the standard. The story of "A
Texas Steer is too well known to be re-
peated. 1t is the same comedy revolving
around the misfortunes of the office seeker
in Washington, with evidences of pruning
and filing out here and there. Bray did the
negro part little oyerdone, but Sears as
Maverick Brander was a success.
Pawn Ticket 210'' will be the opening
bill of the Klmt-Hearn company Monday
night. The papers in surrounding cities
speak highly of the attraction, especially
in Atlanta, where the company played to
standing room only" The company comes
to Birmingham every season, and will
doubtless duplicate it's former successes.
Lewis Morrison, the only "Mephisto' OF

cred about him a capable company. To

dard two cars of scenery are carried this
