COLCORD ACQUITTED
Evidence to Prove Larceny of the Per-
son Was Too Slim

]. A. Colcord, cook by trade, was
yesterday acquitted in Department one
of the superior court of the crime of
grand larceny, under instructions of
Judge Smith. A little tailor, Frank
Negel by name, who had jag, lost a
$40 piece at the San Fernando hotel on
December 14th while eating a bowl of
soup which Colcord had brought him out
on the porch.
There was evidence to show that Col
cord was the only party who had been
near Negel at the time he lost his gold
eagle and that he had no money just
previous to this event, while immedi-
ately afterward he displayed about that
amount in change and lied to account for
its possession. But there was no testi-
mony to prove positively that Colcord
had taken it from Negels person, and
under the circumstances the charge OF
grand larceny would not lie.

complaint of his wife, whom he had
threatened with death. appeared volun-
tarily before Justice Young yesterday,
several days ahead of the time set for
his examination, and gave a bond in
$500, promising that he would keep the
peace for six months. Allemand claims
that his temper got the best of him when
he saw his wife walking on the street
with man, and that it was merely in
the heat of passion that he used the
threatening language.

The plaintiff asked the company to
pay him these amounts, but 1t refused to
make good his losses on the ground that
the policy was made payable to the Los
Angeles Savings bank, wheich held a
mortgage upon the premises, and for
the further reason that the fire was the
result of the use of gasoline on the prem
ises, which was violation specially
mentioned in the policy.
Mr.. Foy proved that the Los Angeles
Savings bank had waived its rights
under the policy in his favor The jury

The American Boy" Fnud.

On February 10, 1898, W. Rankin Good,
a 17-year-old Hughes high school boy in
Cincinnati, originated the idea of raising
" fund by voluntary contributions from
the boys and girls Of the United States to
build battleship to be named "The
American Boy" to replace the ill-fated
Maine and represent the patriotism of the
youth of our nation. 1t is designed as
a. floating monument of steel to commem-
crate the heroes OF the destroyed vessel,
and will also form protection for the liv-
ing and will carry and command respect
for our flag in every port in the world.
To assist the project in achieving a success
that will swell the patriotic heart of every
American boy, young or old, and, not
least, those Of the girls, it is impressed
upon each boy or girl who contributes,
that they should induce two others to do
the same each new contributor to carry
out. the same process with two others, and
SO on until every American boy and girl
has learned of our project and been given
an opportunity to aid it."
The idea has met with much favor all
over the country, and it is thought that
nearly all of the 20,000,00O school chill
dren of America will contribute. The
contributions will range from one cent up.
The school children of Rockingham, 1900
strong, will be urged to contribute their
mite.

Marriage Dramas.

Much interest is aroused and a great
deal of hard work is being done in prepa-
ration for Marriage Dramas, the spectacu-
lar pantomime which is to be given in the
opera house, May 10. The dramas are
spectacular in character, giving histori-
cal pantomime illustrating the progress of
the worlds history as shown by the mar
riages of the different nations at different
eras. The actors will be chosen from the
young people of Bellows Falls.
Marriage Dramas is an archaeological or
historical continuity Of story told by PAN
tomime OF the marriage ceremony from the
earliest time of history to the present. The
progress of the race in its marriage rites
is told in series of brilliant and changing
scenes, music and dancing taking the place
of voice, pantomime that needs no words
to tell the story. The characters will be
costumed to suit the age of the different
scenes and the country. Novel calcium
light effects will be produced.
Each OF the dramas have their special
points of interest. The Babylonian mar
riage market represents marriage by pur-
chase. In the Jewish weddings are shown
the first religious marriage. In the Roman
ceremony the form is used in which the
contracting parties take the oath by fire
and water. This marriage knot could
never be dissolved. The Japanese and In
dian weddings are very attractive and are
historically correct. The jolliest drama is
the Dutch peasant wedding, and shows
how the generous Dutch make presents to
the bride, the poor thing tainting under
the load of gifts they pour into her apron,
and when she revives the company gives
the famous swooden shoe dance, and the
sound of the wooden shoes drowrs the
sound Of the orchestra.
One of the special features in Bellows
Falls will be an Assyrian dance by Mrs. j.
H. Blakley. This occurs in the Jewish
marriage Immediately after the ceremony.
Mrs. Blakley represents an itinerant dane
ing girl who gives to the bridal couple
symbolical poem in motion. She floats
over the world on her magic carpet which
she spreads before them and shows all
humanity tempted by the serpent of sin
who coils about her. Then with burst of
JOY she comes out from the folds of the
tempter and tells of the possibility Of each
soul being free.
Another beautiful part of this represen-
tation is given by the nine maidens who
wind the thread Of life. They show to the
bride and groom the many strands which
are bound together in the one life they are
entering and teach that one broken thread
will mar their own completeness. Exner's
full orchestra will provide music. The
proceeds 60 to the Y. P. S. c. E. state
convention fund.
