dams ssThe Rivals"
Funny Mrs. Malaprop, that dear old
buffer, Bob Acres, and all the other de-
lightful characters in Sheridan's clover
comedy, The Rivals" were cleverly
portrayed by the senior class of the Me-
chanic Arts high school, In the high
school auditorium, last evening. large
audience crowded the hall, making it nee
essary to put chairs in every conceivable
nook, and even then many were obliged
to stand.
The presentation of the play was slight
ly marred because of the failure on the
part of some of the players to properly
commit their lines, but. on the whole the
comedy parts were well handled, the cos
tunes correct and very pretty and there
was no overacting or ranting, effects
which so often characterize the work Of
amateurs.
Miss Jessie Campbell as Lucy Fred
Benedict as Bob Acres, Gordon Dibble as
Sir Lucius O'Trigger, and Miss Josephine
Van Sloun as Mrs. Malaprop easily car

scene between Bob Acres and his SER

There are, no doubt, far cleverer ac-
tresses on the stage than Miss Julia Jen-
sen, but 1t would be difficult to find one
who makes prettier Lydia Languish

Ranney, as Julia, hadn't much to do but
all that she did was done we'll Lawritz
Larson as Sir Anthony Absolute, and
Arthur Moritz as his son, were both
good, but they would have made a much
better impression il their lines had been
more thoroughly committed.
The duel scene was cleverly managed,

simulated
Leighton Smith as Falkland, Charles

best with them.

ANOTHER BICKEL CASE.
EA-Banl1er Is Charged With Larceny

EA-BanlKer Is Charged With Larceny
of Money Belonging to j. F. Cox.
The trial of William F. Biekel, on an
indictment charging him with the lar
ceny, on Jan. Is, 1897, of $294.53 belonging
to Joseph F. Cox, was commenced yes
terday before Judge Kelly, in the district
court. The day was spent in securing a
Jury, and when court adjourned there
were only seven men in the jury box.
Three juries were out considering cases,
and this almost exhausted the regular
panel. The seven men accepted were
James Middleton, John Leiner, Arthur G.
Martin, Ashley M. Stokoe, John O'Don-
nell, Hans P. Miller and Daniel McKier-
nan. A number of talesmen were exam
med and challenged.
Bickel, who was present In court, was
smiling and cheerful. He seemed to re-
gard the proceedings as bore. He oc-
cupied a seat behind his attorneys, VIII
liam H. Mcdonald and Former County
Attorney Anderson, to whom he made
many whispered suggestions The prose-
cution Is being conducted by Assistant
County Attorney Zollman.
This whole proceeding is on techni-
cality," said Mr.. Mcdonald, during re-
cess, while the bailiffs were securing the
corridors for talesmen. my client is
charged with having converted 1924. SO that
this man Cox had deposited in the Min
nesota Savings bank, of which Bickel was
president Cox afterwards separated the
money in question from his account, for
the purpose of securing a bond When the
bank failed the money was paid out to
the general depositors and creditors.
Bickel never received cent of the money,
but he, as president, ordered the teller to
pay out the money, and this the state
claims, constitutes a technical conversion
of special deposit"
