THEATRICAL OUTLOOK
The New Managers Have Taken
Hold Of Manner In A Business
Like Manager And Are Booking
Only First Class Attra Ctions.

Since Messrs Sam worth and Cassidy
assumed the managerial control of
Myar's opers house they have been d.
ligently perfecting plans for next sea-
son.
While it is to be said that the Ell
Paso public was given the opportunity
last winter to witness a number of first
class farces and several melodramas of
more or less force, still the majority of
plays produced we're of an interior or
der. 1t has been demonstrated that Ell
Paso is q good show town and there
is no reason why leading attractions
only should not be booked to appear at
the opera house. Mr.. Samwortn in
conversation with a HERALD reporter
this morning said:
1--WE are making satisfactory pro-
gress with our bookings but the com
plete list cannot be given out before
the first of August. We will have De
Wolf Hopper, the flag pole comedian,
for two nights, the James-Kydder-Hs an
ford combination, Murray aud Mack,
Matthews and Bulger, Denmsn Thomp-
son, and are endeavoring to book the
Bostonians for night. Sometime ago
received notice from
them stating they would
appear in Ell Paso March IA, now 1 am
in receipt of letter stating that they
will play here on March 18th at a ma
tinee performance only. Unless they
can give US a night why we simply
can't play them. wrote and told them
that if they can play one night in Tue
sons town not half so large as Ell Paso,
we were entitled to the same conside-
ration
This movement on the part of the
Bostonians is rather unfair, as they
travel in their own private train and
in making the run from San Antonio tn
the coast they could consistently play
q night here and then go on to Tucson
1t is to be hoped that the matter can
be satisfactorily adjusted, as the Boz
tonians are drawing card with the
Ell Paso public and their style of enter
tainment is first class in every res
pect.

1t is the general belief here by those
| in a position to know that Swift and
Co.. the big Chicago packing house is
back of the gigau tic movement. The
Detroit and Rio Grande company dur
ing their many years ownership of the
concern shipped many thousand head
of cattle from this place. Several high
military officials were connected with
the old company and prominent among
the galaxy of moneyed directors, was
General Alger, secretary of war, who
controlled majority of the stock.
Major Philip Mothersill, now chief of
the commissary department, United
States army at Havana, who managed
this end of the enterprise, and Major
General Duffieli,a distinguished mill
tary commander, are also mentioned
as being among the directors.
1t is not definitely known what name
the new company will adopt or if the
range will be supplied and stocke ed
with cattle from points in Mexico or
the United States; this will be agreed
upon satisfactorily. however. in the
near future. The new promoters are
looking forward to a successful stock
understan ding and predict for this
ommuuity thriving cattle center.

to the shooting.
Her object is going to the court
house was to ask If Rich had procured
a legal divorce from his first wife be-
fore marrying the second time. Rich
aud his first wife then lived at Juarez,
but the husband procured a legal Sc
pa-atlon from her on this side the
river, which was probably illegal. The
woman still resides in Mexico aud may
put in claim for the property. She
is Mexican and has since remarked
and become the mother of several
children.
The deceased met the present Mrs.
John D. Rich at Las Cruces and mar
ried her there. 1t was in 1898, but
what month and day is not known.
The divorce was granted in October
1898, ION the grounds of unfaithful-
ness.
Just before Rich was shot q yellow
haired woman went into County Clerk
Pitman's Office about noon and asked II
