ACTOR O'MALLEY'S TROUBLES
FAILED TO APPEAR FOR SUP
ELEMENTAL EXAMINATION.
A Bench Warrant Issued For His Ap-
prehension, to Show Cause Why
He Is Not In Contempt of Court.

T. F. O'Malley, the we'll known actor
and formerly the manager of the Ly-
/ ceum theatre in this city, got
into trouble through disobeying an or
der issued by Justice Sommer to ap-
pear before the court on supplemental
proceedings. When O'Malley was run
ming the Lyceum theatre he met with
hard luck and was unable to pay the
salaries of the players. Two of the
members of a company that played at
the Lyceun,, Thomas J. Quinn and his
wife, sued O'Malley in a Justices court
and recovered judgment for S55.
O'Malley appealed the case to the dis
trict court and Scott w. Anderson and
r. L. Anderson became sureties on the
appeal bond. When the case was call
ed for trial in the district court O'Mal-
ley was not there to defend it and the
appeal was dismissed and the 1udg-
ment creditor looked to O'Malley'S
bondsmen to pay the amount.
O'Maliey came along few days ago
with the Clay Clement company, which
played at the theatre last week. The
Andersons. the sureties on the appeal
bond. Selling the opportunity, had
O'Malley cited to appear on supple
mental proceedings, and he was or
dered to appear before Justice Sommer
at $50 yesterday afternoon. Now it
happened that the Clay Clement COM
pany was billed to perform in ogden
last night, and the play would go bad
ly without Mr.. O'Malley, who takes the
part of the colored servant in THE
New Dominion" hence Mr.. O'Malley
took it upon himself to disregard the
order of the court, to appear for ~eX-
animation, and went to Ogden with
the company. He was, however, rep
resented in court by Attorney Edward
McGurrin, who asked for a continuance
of the hearing to a more convenient
season. Attorney Ira c. Krebs, repre-
senting the Anderson Bros, opposed
the continuance. Justice Sommer said
he would grant a continuance until to-
day provided surety was put up for
Mr.. O'Malley's appearance. No surety
to be forthcoming, and a
bench warrant for O'Malley's appre-
hension was issued, and Constable
West armed Herewith took the 6:25
train for Ogden.
AS part of the supplemental proceed /
ings Hardy Martin, treasurer of the I
Clay Clement company, was examined /
and testified that O'Malley's salary was |
$40 a week, that he had overdrawn-hiS /
account at Leadville and was just now !
about even, but had nothing coming to !
him.
officer West arrived in ogden shortly |
before the time when the curtain rises |
at the theatre, and insisted on O'Mally /
him back to Salt Lake ;
at once. Il was not possible for the |
play to proceed without O'Malley, and |
the only alternative was to make ar
to settle the bill. as the
hard hearted constable was obdurate

The play proceeded all right,
and OMalley left with the company
for San Francisco by way of Portland
last night.
