This noted organization opens a weeks engagement at the opera house next Monday night in "A Soldiers Daughter" The following is an extract from the Albuquerque Citizen:
 Tn these days of putrid French farce, of corrupt drama, and very bad num- Der two New York companies, it is a real pleasure to Ehe theater-goer to see a performance that is well costumed, funny, without vulgarfty, and excel 1ently entertaining as was the play, A Soldiers Daughter, as rendered by the Jossey Stock company at Neher's s opera house last night.
 An audience which tested the ca pacIty of the pretty little theater greet ed the company as the curtain went up on te first act of the play On ac- count of the exceedingly low price of admission, there were. some who came to scoff, others who were prepared to leave the house at the slightest sign of vulgarity and bad acting, but all re- mained till the 5nd of the play to cheer and applaud the efforts of the actors and actresses in this very clever or ganiza;ion. Never in the history of AL 'buquerque has there been a perform ance which gave such general satisfac- tion as the Jossey Stock company last evening. The company Is we'll balanced, composed of clever artists, and the sipe- cialties were new and entertaining

Arthur Farrell met two colored men, Dan and Arthur Hill, and proposed that they rob some one. He told them that they could accompany him and help him relieve any stray pedestrian of his money, and for their help he would give them a. reasonable commission. At Sangamon and Lake streets the men met Frank Costello, a coal miner from La Salle, III. The Hill brothers stopped him with a revolver provided by Far reH, and Farrell went through Cos tello's pockets securing $100. Of this sum Farrell gave the Hill brothers $15 each. The three men then separated. Farrell later was arrested and takentto the Desplaines street police station. where he confessed. Upon his descrip.. ton the colored men were arrested.
