ORDERED RELEASED.
There Was Found to Be No Case Against
T. j. Wilson.


Some time ago T. J. Wilson, man
| VINO does business under the style or
real estate and house renting, was az
rested on the charge of petty larceny
preferrd by Miss Josie Foley. 1t ap-
pears from the evidence that Miss Foley
and her mother desired to lease their
lodging house, and in order to facilitate
matters, they called upon Wilson to
make the deal for them. 1t was agreed
that he should endeavor to find a ten
ant, who would be required to put up
forfeit of $50 upon declaring his inten-
tons to take the house. Wilson found
man named Joseph Lutz Of Anacon-
da, who sad that he would lease the
house. He satisfied Real Estate Dealer
Wilson as to the money part of the
preliminary negotiations and left, os-
tensibly to arrange for taking posses
sion Of the house.
Now comes Wilson to inform Miss
Foley that the tenant did not fulfill his
part of the agreement and had forfeited
his deposit, which, by the way, was,
according to Wilson's story, far from
$50. Wilson gave Miss Foley SIS, say
ing that that was all she was entitled
to.
Now comes Miss Foley, who swore to
complaint charging Wilson with petit
larceny. She explained to Judge Mich
OILS yesterday how she did not get the
$50 due her. or reasonable portion
thereof, after deductions of percentage
were made. She related in detail the
terms of the agreement she made with
Operator Wilson,
Wilson swore that Lutz gave him $40
In cash and his note for $40, as deposit
ITO bind the bargain; that Lutz return
ed later to his office and declared that
the house was not such as he repre-
scented 1t ITO be and therefore demand
ed the return of his cash and note. He
agreed said the operator, to call il
square if he would be given back his
note. Wilson, so he said. returned Lutz
his note and kept the $40. He gave Miss
Foley So of this and kept the other
So fer his pairs, SO he said and in this
Miss Foley did not contradict him.
Wilson. who has been under bonds
since his arrest, was ordered released
and his t21dsmen absolved.
At the conclusion of the case Miss
Foley's mother stepped up to Burt
Marsh who appeared for Wilson, and
addressing him. said:
You attacked my character in this
proceeding, and l want you to under
stand that I have lived in Butte for Is
years and this is the first time my char
acter was ever assailed. If you do it
again I'll slap your face"
Judge Nichols remarked, when he de-
cided to dismiss the case, that Wilson
was imprudent in tearing up the note
he said Lutz gave him.

letter from R. H. Paxson. hospital
steward, to Clinton H. Moore, states
that Captain Hills wound was very

Paxson says the captain shouted orders
to his company after he had been
wounded.

proprietors have the agreeable duty Of
sharing the rest.
The so-called regular patrons of the
theatre, or those who give it its sup
port comprise but a small moiety of
the city's population. 1t is doubtful if
the frequenters of the Worcester thea
tire exceed in number 5000 people, with
10000 more as occasional visitors, on

able shift on occasions like "The Drum
mer Boy" or THE Old Homestead"
Although the system prevailing in
stock theatres of subscription seats for
the season cannot Of course be adopted
here, there are a number of patrons
who have a fancy for particular seats
and always try to get them. One man,
for instance, has so strong fondness
for a certain seat well down on the
left that il he fails to obtain it he will
stay away from the performance. To
the ordinary observer there is no es-
pecial merit in that chair; but the angle
to the stage suits his vision and the
space IN front accommodates his knees
so comfortably, that all other seats look
alike Objectionable to him; and as he
is valued patron, his harmless fancy
is usually INDUCED.
Lothrop's and the Park also each has
it's special clientele. and it is as rare
for the frequenters of one house to
visit another as for a hard shell Bap-
fist to wander around among other de-
nominations. But it is a conservative
statement that one-half Of Worcester's
inhabitants have never been inside of
any of her three playhouses. Now that
electric car connection is so improved,
the county towns produce many con-
slant playgoers, whose patronage is de-
pended on by managers as one of their
best sources Of income. With it's am
pie population, and only three theatres
to amuse it, Worcester ought to be as
good a theatrical city as is its neighbor,
Boston, which in every branch of
amusement holds the highest place in
managerial estimation of all the cities
in the country. Plays are as well staged
here as there, and we usually get the
same attractions, sometimes even soon
er than they.

Exhibit at the Pan American al Buffalo in
1901.
In the summer months of 1901 the
people Of the world win receive cordial
invitation to come to Buffalo and see
the wonders gathered together at the
Pan American exposition. which viii
then be held.
Plans of bringing about closer trade
relations between the republics of the
south and the big republic Of the north
have been taken up by the master
minds of the section, and the efforts
made are expected to result in one Of
the greatest expeditions ever held in
the western hemisphere. The gathering
of the exhibits Of the arts and manu-
features will be confined to the coun-
tries of North, South and Central
America, their states and dependencies,
and the occasion Of it all is to show
to the world what the men Of the three
Americas can and have done within
the past one hundred years.
For months men who make their
homes on the Niagara frontier, have
worked increasingly to bring the great
project to a successful elimination.
Their efforts have received Endorsement
and recognition from hundreds of civil,
scientific and commercial bodies; the
legislature Of the state Of New York
has appropriated $500, 900 for a New
York state building and exhibit: the
national government has set aside $780,
900 for a federal building and display.
Within a week the site for the great
fair win have been decided upon, for
the executive committee, aided by the
most prominent architects and engi-
neers of western New York, has been
at work for weeks looking over the
twenty plots Of land proffered, and ia
nous experts from Boston and New
York have been in Buffalo aiding the
executive committee.
AS yet the decision Of the executive
committee has not been made public.
but it is decided in the public mind
that a site Immediately upon the river
front will be selected. The wisdom Of
such selection can be seen at a glance,
particularly as one of the great fea-
lures Of the exposition is to be a DEM
onstration OF the wonders of the har-
essing of the Niagara cataract. Every
wheel within the exposition gates is to
be operated by the cataract electric
power.
