thrown by some unknown party at

special duty there. Mr. Joseph had
been Shading up on one side Of the
gallery and when the lights were
turned off he sat down. just as he
did so he heard something strike the
wall near his head Investigation
afterwards showed that the stone
had come from above and had
glanced from the wall and fallen on
the stage tearing the curtain at the
back of the stage The identity of
the stone thrower can be pretty well
guessed at Had Mr.. Joseph not sat
down when he did he would have
probably been badly hurt.
