WHEN NANCE WAS A GIRL
Ran Away From the Seminary to
See Bernhardt Play.
SURE TO BE AN ACTRESS
She Predicted That She Would Be a
Bernhardt Herself One Day and
Events Now Saern to Be Justi-
flying Her Prophecy.

Nance O'Neil predicted her own fu-
ture before she had her first opportunity
to appear upon a stage. 1t was in 1891
while she was attending SHELLS semi
nary at Oakland. A Butte lady, who
attended the seminary at the same time,
tells how the young actress, then known
only by the name her parents gave her,
that of Gertrude 4amson, once de-
clared that she would some day be a
Bernhard If she was given opportunity
and proper training. Mile. Bernhard
was playing in Oakland during the sea-
son of 1891, and one evening party
of young ladies from the seminary was
taken to see the great French actress
at the opera house. OF course the party
was chaperoned by one of the teachers
of the seminary The young ladies en-
joyed the performance, but Miss Lam
son was especially enthusiastic over
Bernhardt. The next night when the
roll was called at the seminary it was
found that Miss hanson was missing.
Inquiries and a search for her was
made and she was discovered, unat-
tended, occupying one Of the front seats
at the opera house, lost in admiration
of the divine Bernhard. 1t was a
shocking piece of seminary discipline
and almost created a scandal. The
young woman was taken severely to
task for it. 1t was while talking with
a friend over the eSCapade that she de-
clared that she would some day be a
great actress. She graduated in 1892
and soon thereafter found her first OPP
portunity to go upon the stage, with
the result that she is rapidly fulfilling
her prediction.
She always had love for the stage
and her room the seminary bore
proof of it by a great collection of
photographs of theatrical celebrities.
She also owned a pet cat am unusual
privilege granted at the school. One
day the cat upset a lamp in her room
and the seminary had a narrow es-
cape from destruction but Miss Lam
sons greatest concern and perhaps the
only one that occupied her mind in the
midst of the danger, was her collection
of photogra phs. She was very much
excited over the possibility of losing
them. The pictures were saved

at school. She made few friends

estranged and separated.

mel was such that a car moved TO-

WILEY KILLED A HORSE
Convinced the Jury That He
Thought It Was His Own.
AGREED TO PAY FOR IT
A Warrant Out for Two Bows Who
Broke Into the School OF Mines
Building and Mali ciously De-
faced the Walls With Paint.

Yesterday was Edward Willey's lucky
day. BY his own evidence against that
of three or four other witnesses he sue
ceeded in convincing jury he was in
nocent of having maliciously killed a
horse belonging to Ira Edwards of
Basin creek and was acquitted. Some
days ago Edwards complained to the
county attorney that Wiley and his
brother Clarence, had killed one Of his
horses for it's hide, and a warrant for
their arrest for malicious mischief was
issued. The brother Clarence had made
himself hard to find when the officer
went looking for the brothers, but Ed
jury trial, which was held yesterday
before Justice Nichols
w. f. Stratton of Stratton's ranch,
Basin creek. testified that he saw two
men driving a couple of horses ON the
range. One of the horses ran into a
snow drift and was shot. He went over
to see about it and found the defendant
and his brother skinning the animal.
They said they knew the horse be-
longed to Ira Edwards, but that they
did not think he would care. If the
horse had been left alone he would have
gotten out of the drift. Maggie Strait
ton testified to practically the same
facts.
Ira Edwards told of one of his colts
coming up missing the day the horse
was killed.
The defendant said he and his brother
went to the vicinity of STATIONS ranch
to get a colt that belonged to them
that was running on the range They
found two colts, one of which they
thought was theirs, and. in trying to
get their colt, he ran into a snow bank
and got fast. They could not get him
| out, so killed him. The witness STRAIT
ton came up while they were skinning
him and said the horse belonged to Ira
Edwards The defendants brother said
he would see Edwards and if the colt
did belong to him would pay for it,
and he did go to see Edwards. Witness
thought at the time and still thought
the colt belonged to him.
| Ira Edwards was recalled and said
| Clarence Wiley came to see him and

to pay for the animal. The horse was

Nance O'Neil.
Miss O'Neil, in the powerful role of
Lean, gave new proof of her genius.
Her Characterization was intensely
sublime. From the scenes in which her
heart and soul were wrapped in the
flames of a fiery love to the climax of
her hate and denunciation of the man
who had forsaken her, she was grand,
magnificently brilliant at every mo-
ment. Miss O'Neil was repeatedly call
ed before the curtain, and the people
who seemed to be in rather uncertain
state on Monday night appeared to
have awakened to the fact that a great
actress was before them. Miss O'Neils
support while it appeared quite equally
balanced last night, is far from what it
should be. Herbert Carr played the
part of Joseph and in one scene was
especially strong. Tonight Mis- O'Neil
will appear in Camille in which
many critics have declared she has no
equal. At the matinee this afternoon
