ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this
evening the prince Of refined comedians.
Stuart Robson, in Bronson Towards
comedy masterpiece, THE Henrietta"
That much Of the success of the play
is due to the individual efforts of Mr..
Robson is beyond question. 1t is rarely
that an actor is fitted with a part so
completely as Mr.. Robson is suited by
his role of BERTHE in THE Henrietta"
It is one of those roles which in the
hands Of mediocrity or even common
place talent would be lost in the
strength of some of the other charac-
telizations in the play, for il is by no
means one-part play, but in the hands
of such an actor as Stuart Robson. who
TO artistic ability combines such an
eminent fitness to the role, it becomes
a thing of dramatic beauty. In these
days when new plays scarcely outlive
two road seasons it is d fine tribute
10 HoWard's play and to Mr.. Robson's
characterization of the role of the
Lamb. that THE Henrietta is still his
best bill, and that it still continues to
draw large houses. An interesting
feature of the production tonight win
be the temperance of Mrs. Robson in
the role Of the Widow Opdyke. which
che made famous. Mrs. Robson has
been out of the cast for a long time,
but she is in the harness again and
delighting every one with her inimtable
characterization of Towards charming

the play since the original production

his manager Mr.. Arthur 1t includes
such sterling people as Thomas a.

hoped that Mr.. Robson viii have full

INTO The COLD, DARK RIVER.
AN UNKNOWN MAN ENDS HIS
EXISTENCE.
He Took the Fatal Plunge Soon
After Dark Last
Evening.

Some weary, heart-sore, liquor crazed
man last night Joined the large army of
unknowns who had gone to their death.
He chose the rushing, ice-cold river, in
stead of the poison route. and at present
writing nothing is known concerning the
suicide beyond the fact that he was seen
to take the fatal plunge.
1t was shortly after s o'clock last
evening when the man passed the po-
lice station at Front and l streets and
started across the railroad tracks in
that vicinity toward the river. He is
represented as having been person Of
or beyond middle age, about five feet
nine or ten inches in hight, dressed in
a dark-colored suit and wearing an
overcoat of the same hue. He wore a
full, grayish beard of only moderate
length.
To the railroad yardmen whom he
passed he appeared to be somewhat I'M
der the influence of liquor, and Watch
man Boyle, who is on duty at that point
cautioned him to be careful lest he
should get in the way of the trains that
were being made up on the various
tracks.
The man passed on toward the river
bank, which he reached at the point
where the old piles and framework that
once supported the Undine Clubs boat
house still stand. There are several
wide beams connecting the piles with
the bank of the river and it was noticed
that he quickly walked out on one OF
these to the end, where he stood for only
moment.
Then, before the yardman had time to
realize what was his motive, the I'M
known man was seen to give a leap
down into the river. There was
splash and all was over.
The yardmen FASTENED across to the
river bank, but the suicide had gone
down with the current and nothing was
to be seen but the widening circles of
the ripple caused by the mans plunge
into the murky stream. He may have
struck a submerged log or broken y
that rendered him helpless, as no cry
for help was heard

THE MAJORS DOSE.
Judge Hart Gives w. L. Stevens
Five Months in Jail.

w. l.. Stevens, the man who calls
himself Major" and who was charged
with having caused Ed. Laederich of
Highland Park to be arrested and put
into Jail on a false complaint of dis
turbing the peace. yesterday pleaded
guilty in Judge Harris court and was
sentenced to five months in the County
Jail.
The relations of Stevens with Mr..
and Mrs. Laederich have been quite
fully exploited heretofore. He had been
making his home with them and en-
joying all the comforts of a home, while
the patient and apparently unsuspect-
ing husband was engaged at hard labor
to provide for his wife and guest"
Apparently for the purpose Of having
Laederich out of the way altogether,
Stevens had him arrested on the
trumped-up charge referred to, but the
husband was promptly released and
Stevens arrested.
The strangest thing of all in connec-
ton with this domestic comedy drama
was the appearance of both husband
and wife as friends of Stevens at his
preliminary examination. and Mrs. Ste
vens' solicitude for his physical welfare
while in jail. She was in court yester-
day when he was sentenced and seemed
to be much interested in his plea for
leniency.
Judge Hart scored Stevens severely
for the despicable part he had played
in the affairs of the Laederich house,
hold before sending him back to jail
for five months.

A TRAGEDY AT CLARKSBURC.
YOUNG JEFF CAVE KILLS HIS
SISTERS HUSBAND.
Louis Isham Slain in a Quarrel
Cave Says He Acted in
SeIf-Defe2se.

Down-the-river neighborhoods We're
thrown into a. fever of excitement yes
terday by domestic tragedy that was
enacted near the little village OF Clafhs-
burg, on the Yolo side OF the RIVER IN
which Jeff Cave, Jr., son OF the Wen
known farmer of that name, shot and
killed Louis Isham, his brother-in-law,
during a quarrel over an insignificant
matter
The tragedy took place at the pump
house of the Lisbon Reclamation Dis
trict about 8 o'clock in the morning, and
Though Isham received the full contents
of a charge from a shotgun in his breast,
neck and face, he lived until late in the
afternoon.
The circumstances attending the SAD
affair. SO far as they could be learned
Yesterday, We're about as follows:
There was a quantity of cinders at
wanted to haul away. to which Ishan
for some reason objected. The men de-
bated the matter for some time and be-
came quite worked up during the dis
pute.
One word led to another, and finally
they fell to using abusive language to
one another. Isham, it is said, left the
pump and went to his house, where he
got his pistol and returned to the scene
of the quarrel.
When he reached there Cave had a
wagon loaded with the cinders, with
which he was about to drive off, but
Isham caught his horses and refused TO
let them proceed.
Hostilities then broke out in earnest,
and-according to the statement re-
ceived by the Record Union'-Isham
drew or attempted to draw his pistol AT
this Cave seized a shotgun and fired, the
contents of the charge taking effect in
Isham's chest, neck and face, from the
effects of which he died later in the
day.
Two other men are said to have been
present and witnessed the shooting, and
they sustain Caves claim that he acted
in self defense.
Isham leaves a young wife and three
children. The Cave family is one of the
oldest and most prominent in that part
of Yolo County, and the tragedy, ow-
ing to the family ties existing between
the men engaged in it, is most deplor-
able.
Coroner Clark, who attends to cases
along the river in this end of Yolo
County for the Coroner at Woodland,
sent Deputy Craig to the scene of the
killing to get the body of the deceased.
He had not returned UP to a late hour
last night
Word reached this city that young
Cave had left Clarksburg last evening
for Sacramento to consult a lawyer, and
probably to surrender himself to some
Yolo officer.

NEGLECTED CHILDREN.
Three Little Ones Whose Father
Will Pay for Their Support.

Dan Healy, officer for the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
has been investigating a case of neg
leet at Oak Park. He says it will be
necessary to have the three children of
a family there placed under the care OF
some one besides their mother, who is
a person of dissolute habits.
Mr.. Healy has applied to the Found
lings' Home, but was informed that
there was no room for the little ones
there, and he is trying to find a home
for them in some family. The father
is a Woodworking man and willing to
pay for the care of the children. They
are aged respectively 8, 6 and years.

The delinqent taxes of Wasco county,
as shown on the rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are sec, 1000. an amount al
most equal to the Indebtedness of the
county. Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs should
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
in the past the county court Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason
warrant has been attached to each de-
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by SEIZURE and sale of
property. With bountiful crop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea-
sonable excuse for the non-payment OF
taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath TO
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collee-
tion thereof, and has 10 option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure AMI sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.
