LIONS DID NOT APPEAR
Sheriff Attaches Property Of
Broken Heart Company"
DIFFICULTY is ADJUSTED
But Show Was Delayed for
Half an Hour

The box receipts Of the Broken Heart
company, which played at the Crawford
opera house last night. were attached
by the sheriff upon a writ fer breach OF
contract
The action was brought through Hut
man & Harvey for o. Y. Crawford, who
claimed damages in the sum Of 500 for
failure on the part Of the company to
comply with al alleged agreement to
play in theaters Of a certain circuit con-
trolled by the plaintiff
Deputy Sheriff Thos. Voss served the
writ and incidentally delayed the per-
Torrance for half as hour.
The curtain was about to go up for the
last act with the entire company upon
the stage when the stalwart form of the
deputy unexpectedly appeared upon the
scene. and in q sonorous voice this per
sonage informed the assembled troupe
that the show could not proceed until his
claims were adjusted.
Two mountain lions. which appear in
the act. the first thing in sight, were
seized, but upon second thought Voss
thought it might be best to leave them
TO the care of their master. especially as
the poor beasts appeared to be about
half starved and were surveying his
form with an evident view Of making him
the victim OF a relished repast
The comedian shouted You viii, win
your as the lions snarled ad snapped at
the deputy. But when the latter levied
upon a trunk full of his clothes he did
not think it so funny.
The other actors protested that they
had nothing to do it'll the contract, while
the lady members Of the troupe began to
cry when the deputy informed them that
unless their managers would come TO
terms he would be forced to cart away
their belongings.
While the argument between the deputy
and actors was going on behind the cur
tain, the audience became impatient at
the delay despite the efforts Of the or
chesTa to attract
When they saw that the deputy sheriff
was determined to not permit the show
TO continue until the attachment was sat
isfed, Manager J. E. Caven and Esther
Rujaero, the leading lady, arranged for
the payment of the claim from the box
receipts, after which the last act was
presented.

ALL RIGHT IN BISCUITS
FBrfo poor -,,-,.icfne.

! Common soda is all right in its place
! and indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but soda
was never intended for medicine and the
people who use it as such viii some day
regret it.
The common use of soda to relieve
heartburn and sour stomach IS habit
which thousands Of people practice, al
most daily, and one which is fraught
with danger. Soda gives only temporary
relief and in the end the stomach trouble
gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where it ac-
cumulates in the intestines, causing
death by Inflammation or peritonits.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the SAT
est and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) the daily use after
meals of an excellent preparation, sold
by druggists under the name Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are
large 20 grain Iozenges, pleasant to the
taste and containing the natural pep
tones and digestive elements necessary
to good digestion and which all weak
stomachs lack
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets used regu-
larry after meals digest the food prompt
ly and thoroughly before it has time to
ferment, sour and poison the blood and
nervous system.
DIT. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses and recommends Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets in all forms of stomach derange-
ment and finds them a certain cure, not
only for sour stomach, but by causing
prompt digestion Of the food they create
a healthy appetite, increase flesh, and
strengthen the action Of the heart and
liver.
They are not cathartic and contain
no violent drug but are intended only for
stomach diseases and faulty digestion
and generally acknowledged to be the
most reliable cure for any stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
Stuart's Dysepsia Tablets now enjoy an
reputation and popularity
and are sold by druggists everywhere in
the United States, Canada and Great
Britain.
