An unended laugh is the way the
management of Browns in Town" de-
scribes the newest farce which will be
the attraction at the Opera House this
evening. 1t is replete with humorous
complications and is said to brim over
with witty thrusts and choice selec-
ton of catchy musical numbers. The
action of the farce all takes place dur
ing one summers day in the country
home of a man supposed to- be Mr..
Brown but in reality is the young hero.
The plot hinges on the desire of a
young man who marries at the age of
twenty-three against the wishes of his
father and takes his bride to the coun-
try place to concoct a scheme whereby
he can break the news to his irate dad
He wishes to be alone, but his friends
and relatives happen in, and to keep
his marriage a secret, causes quite a
number of complications to arise. Three
acts are used in which to tell the story
the first being morning, the second af-
ternOon, and the third night. The adj
vance sale yesterday was heavy.

Their main hope was based on the

OTIS REPORT OF SITUATION.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE fol-
lowing dispatch has been received at
the War Department:
Manila, May 17.-Adjutant General,
Washington: The situation is as fol-
lows: Lawton, with tact and ability,
has covered Bulacan province with his
column and driven the insurgent troops
northward to- San Isidro the second
insurgent capital, which he captured
this morning. He is now driving the
enemy northward into the mountains.
He has constant fighting, inf1icting
heavy losses and suffering few casual
ties The appearance of his troops on
the TANKS of the enemy behind in
trenchments thrown up at every
strategic point and town is very de-
moralizing to the Insurgents, and has
given them no opportunity to recon-
centrate their scattered troops. Kobbe's

In the Final Argument for Plaintiff in the
Celebrated Note Suit.
Declares That the Three Vital
Propositions Had Been Proven,
Ownership, Sufficient Consider
alton and the Genuine Sigma
ture Of the Note-The Case Ex-
pected to Go to the Jury This
Evening.

WILLOWS, May 17.-Attorney john
son began this morning to make the
closing argument for the plaintiff in
the Murdoch note case. He first spoke
of the denunciatory statements of Lusk
and Barnes in their arguments. He
said they had charged perjury, but had
not proved it. Referring to the way in
which the defense had conducted it's
case, he said they had hired detectives
to watch the jury, had bought the
newspapers of the town, and seemed
to think every man had price. He at
tackled Lusk vehemently. No name
seemed too mean to apply to him in the
opinion Of the speaker.
In speaking of the merits of the case,
Mr.. Johnson said the simple fact that
the note was drawn for 100000 and to
run for twenty years was evidence to
show it was genuine, for no rancher
or rancher's wife would ever think of
forging such a monstrous piece of pa
per. Many cases were referred to by
Johnson, which the defense had spoken
of and were discussed by him.
At one time he accused Kytka of
swearing to certain things in some case,
and the expert Interrupted him and
strenuously denied it, The counsel was
also interrupted by Barnes for misrep-
resenting, as Barnes thought, the facts.
johnson endeavored to show to the
jury that Samuel Murdoch did make
enough money to be able to lend Will
lam some, which the defense said was
not true.
He said there were three propositions
to be proved in the case: First, own
ership; second, sufficient consideration,
and, third, the genuine signature of the
Iote. He said the ownership had been
admitted, and then brought to the at
tention of the jury the evidence which
he thought proved that sufficient con-
sideration had been given and that the
signature was genuine.
Then Mr.. Johnson took up the wit
| nesses separately and discussed their
evidence.
Mr.. johnson occupied the entire after
noon session with a continuation of his
argument, and had not concluded when
court adjourned. He laid stress on the
evidence of Attorneys Robinson and
Alexander, who testified that they saw
the disputed note in Sacramento in
1897 though the defense claims that
the signature on the note was traced
from deed made in 1890. He reviewed
the evidence, and claimed that the eff
fort to disprove the claim of the plain
tiff had failed.
His argument will be continued in the
morning. and the case may go to the
jury tomorrow evening.
