Pie presentation Of the drama,
"Neighbor Lakewood by Billings tai
emit is positively announced for We'd
nesday evening, March 29th at the
opera house. It has been a difficult
task to make up a cast for this drama
owing to the number Of people required
and the deifficult role for each to as
sumo. The dialogue is crisp and witty,
the scenes Astounding in thrilling dra-
matte incidents, and climax endings.
The drama is deeply interesting
throughout and the plot ingeniously
concealed until the last act.
Neighbor Lakewood is a five act play
with over twenty scenes, founded
upon the fugitive slave law. The scene
is laid il old Vermont and the
characters. with the exception Of Ca
mile, the Octoroon slave girl. and
Dixon the slave driver, are representa-
tions of the different phases Of Yankee
character. of the exciting period Of 81.
The first presentation Of this play in
Boston in 1857 was received with
mingled Kisses aud applause SO bitter
a. to render it almost impossible at
times for the performers to proceed.
These scenes were Of nightly occurrence
for weeks, and the Identification of
Neighbor Lakewood was as important a
factor in the framing of public senti.
ment of anti slave times as any work
ever published. not even excepting
"Uncle Toms Cabin

Judge Fraser Gives EVIL Doors u Dose of
the Law.
Lowing to the absence of Police
Magistrate F. i. Mann from the city,
Mayor Smith has appointed Judge
Fraser to act in that official capacity.
There is nothing slow about Judge
Fraser. especially when it comes to
dispensing Justice.
His court was occupied with an in
teresting case Wednesday afternoon
wherein a young man named John
Gillchrist, from Livingston, was
charged with assault in the third degree
on the person of Blanche Best, one Of
the inmates Of Della Crowell's bagnio.
the Castle. Gillebrist struck her in
the eye and when Judge Fraser finished
his round with the young fellow,
wished he were a millionaire. The
case was prosecuted by Deputy County
Attorney j. H. Johnston, while Fl. A.
Firth defended Gillchrist. The defen-
dant, when placed on the stand, admit
ted having let forth a Fitzsimmons
arm, which in the course Of it's journey
might have struck the plaintiff some
| where in the vicinity of her eye This
very truthful version satisfied the judge
and he proceeded to show the defendant
that he had no pity for such actions by
filming him $50 besides presenting him
with a certificate emitting him to 80
days behind Sheriff Hubbard's steel
bars. 4
William Pease is a cowboy but that
made no difference to Judge Fraser who
on Wednesday assessed him $40 fine
for frequenting and being an inmate
of one of the dou btful houses down the
line. Pease paid the sum and after
promising to make himself promiscuous
by his absence around those houses,
went on his way rejoicing.
