AGAINST NATGOODWIN
Jury Awards Verdict of 10000 for
Piracy.

Chicago. Jan. 25.-John Maxwell. a Chi
cago newspaper man, has been awarded in
the federal court a verdict of $4,000
against Nat c. Goodwin, the actor for in
fringement Maxwells play of Con
gress.''
Maxwell claimed that he submitted the
play of Congress to Goodwin, who after
looking it over, declared he did not want
It, but later produced a play called ''Am-
bition," of which Henry Guy Carleton was
named as the author, and large portions of
which were, according to Maxwell, taken
from Congress-
The attorney for the defendant asked
that the case be taken from the jury on
the point of law that, even if the actor de-
PENDANT had deliberately pirated the Chi
cago mans play, the plaintiff was entitled
TO no recompense because his copyright on
Congress had not been perfected. Judge
Seaman had the motion under Amusement
since Saturday and he announced that the
case must go to the jury TO be decided on
facts and not point of law.
The jury was out but twenty minutes
before returning its verdict for the plain
tiff.

CURE OF INSANITY
Through the Use of the Roentger
Rays to be Attempted.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-As the result of a
number of experiments with x-rays in
this city, it is asserted that the rays
are to become medium through which
brain tumorS, responsible for many
cases of alienation of mind, can be 10
Gated. Preparations are being made by
several eminent physicians for a test
operation in what has been considered
an incurable case. The patient will be
wealthy young man who for several
years has been confined in the asylum at
Kankakee. The patient has already
been examined by the X-ray process.
Those who conducted the experiment
say that the skiagraphs plainly showed
a tumor pressing on the brain. The
physicians claim that the removal of
the tumor will not be dangerous and
that they expect the young mans mind
will be fully restored.

RARE FIREARMS
Which Jesse Elliott Is Making Col
lection Of

J. C. Elliott has collection of rare
old firearms that look even more dam
gerous than the revolvers of the pres
ent day, for from their appearance it
would be hard to say where the bullets
would go when the old fashioned things
go off.
One of the pieces is a four-barreIed
Derringer, or pill box" as they were
called. 1t is the most improved of the
collection. Another is a long barreled
affair of English make with an APP
pliance for ramming home the charge
in the manner a muzzle loading cannon
is loaded. A Colts derringer for powder
and ball was used in the war of 1872.
Another is a short, stumpy firearm
such as was used in duelling, but with
a much shorter barrel
Mr.. Elliott picks up these odds and
ends in the firearms line and OCCASION
ally a relic hunter buys the lot from
him at good price.

GILLETT'S COWBOY BAND.
En- Route to Creamery Convention,
They Play in Kansas City.

Kansas City, Jan 25-Gilletts famous
cowboy band passed through the city
last evening. 1t came in on a special
train of three coaches-two sleepers and
a chair car. Coming back to Kansas
City was like old times for the husky
members of the band, who have dis
consoIately returned to their former
avocations since the disappearance of
their idol And yet it was different in
so many ways. Their expenses on the
present trip are not paid by the cattle
king. The money came from cattle, it
is true, but in a more conservative way.
1t was an excursion of creamery men
on the way to a convention in Mime
sofa; prosaic creamery men who use
prOsaic milk. The flash of diamonds
was not to be seen; the heroic buster
was gone.
When the train pulled into the depot
at o'clock the cowboys, in their uni
forms. provided by the plunger
off and took up positions
in a circle with their instruments. A
moments pause; the leader, one time
a preacher, lifted his hand for atten-
:'All ready"
Twenty-Five very,very broad brimmed
white somoreros tipped back as instru-
ments were placed to lips.
''One, two, three; one, two, play!''
Music burst forth; exultant, brassy,
unhumiliated and unmortgaged music.
Each note threw out defiance. The men
realized how near they were to the
scene of their masters former triumphS
and the source of his downfall. 1t was
an inspiration for them. They played
several pieces during the brief interval
in which the train stood at the depot.
Then they gave a few blood-curdling
yells, such yells as are only heard at the
roundup or on a coyote hunt There
was nothing querulous about it; their
voices were full and showed not the
least indication that they had ever
taken a word of it back-Gillett was
still the best fellow on earth. So they
returned to their train and no one ques-
toned the sentiment of the yell. No
one even whispered stGiIlett."
