Guardian for Schultz.

The hearing in the probate court in
the matter of appointing guardian
for J.Schultz resulted in the jury order
ing that one be appointed and the court
will await the recommendation of the
attorneys. The defense declared that
Schultz was an exceptionally good
business man and had made money
but did drink occasionally, (Which
was his business The prosecution
took the ground that 90 long as he
had four children in Topeka and one
here whom he was not supporting to
any great extent, some means should
be provided of caring for what he had
to prevent the children ultimately
coming upon the county. Several
witnesses testified that when they
called at his little grocery they found
the front door locked and MIR, Schultz
sadly admitted that he could not re-
sist drinking occasionally. Whether
q man who can not resist drinking at
any given time, thus neglecting his
business from which his children are
to be supported, is a good business
man, was quickly decided by the jury
and the sentiment of the community
agrees with them.

west, perhaps, as big Bill Devere, who
will be seen in the character of the Ar-
IONA editor, a part especially written for
him by Mr.. Hoyt- He win be seconded

ability, in the role Of Hot Stuff. Seen
as the tough young man who must get

a concerted number.
The scenery used in this piece is car
ried by the company and is precisely the
same as used at Hoyt's theatre, New
York, where the piece enjoyed a pros
porous run of more than 200 nights. The
first act represents the Office and bar
room in the Norge Hotel in Arizona,
showing the editors sanctum connected
with the bar by a trolley system.

ONE OF H0YT'S BEST
"a Black Sheep at the Crawford
Theatre Next Wednesday Night

Charles Hoyt is recognized by critics
and the public in general as the best, as
well as the most successful writer of
farcial skis. His methods are original,
yet based upon strict business principles.
When he undertakes to write comedy
he first looks about him for a cast and
carefully selects his principals, then
writes the play around them. He knows
what each player is capable of doing, and
if they have any special talents, he writes
parts for them that will bring such tai
ents into prominence. Then, again,
after new piece is produced
he does not call It finished, but
keeps pegging away at it, cutting out
bits here and there and adding new lines
and stage business putting, so to
speak, a finishing 10 it. Thus it is that
Hoyt's comedies, one and all, have been
phenomenally successful.
Next Wednesday evening at the Craw-
ford Grand theatre-goers will have an
opportunity of Witnessing Mr.. Hoyt's "a
Black Sheep in a revised form, which
has been pronounced by critics as one of
farcial comedies this popular playwright
has turned out.
"A Bleck Sheep pokes little fun at
the anglomaniac but after presenting
himself in this guise for half an hour the
anglomania,c becomes tired of the role,
masses his hair, yells like an Indian and
expresses a wish to be back in Arizona
again. The characters in the play are
familiar to all newspaper readers. There
is the Arizona editor, who might easily
be mistaken for the gentleman who gets
into trouble by editing that much quoted
sheet the Arizona Kicker The tender
foot from the east, who, having been a
football player, succeeds in doing up the
tough; the typical bartender of
the comic papers, and other characters
Caricatured are there.
The story of the piece is sufficiently
lucid to prevent the performance from
being rated as a variety show, intersperc-
ed with bright and witty dialogue The
theme is apparent at all times, and it is
with joy that one halls the absence of
those breaks which usually occur in Gre
atoms of this kind. when a speciality is
introduced. The sDecialties and songs in
troE1uced are heraEded as absolutely new
and up-to-date. and the action of the
piece is rapid with no Jet up to the fun
from the rise of the curtain to its fall on
the final act
