Interesting Nature.

The performances in the Salt Palace
vaudeville theatre during the past
week have been the best given since
the opening of the theatre. The crowds
have been larger and more appreci-
alive and it has been clearly shown
that summer theatricals are a popular
form of amusement in Zion.

siderable trouble in securing fresh tai
ent since the theatre opened, but the
bookings for this week, opening Mon
day night, are all new faces. Perhaps
the star act will be Miss Ola Hayden,
reputed to be Americas greatest fe-
male baritone singer. She has been
favorably noticed by Allen Dale. the
famous New York critic, and she comes
direct from the OrDheum circuit.
Another high class feature will be
Kalacratus, the famous iuggler, whose
reputation was firmly established when
he accompanied Loie Fuller, the great
French dancer, on her recent American
tour. The bicycle king, Ed Baisden,
will give exhibitions of trick bicycle
riding on the stage of the theatre.
Another splendid feature will be that
of Yer Vain, a famous ventriloquist
from Elitch'S Garden in Denver, who
!.
THE Walking and Talking Automa-
tons" Admirers of musical experts,
those who are capable of performing
on a dozen different instruments, will

and have the reputation of being high
class entertainers. No variations will
be made in the time of giving per
formances during the week, and the
usual Sunday concert and amateur
night on Saturday will be given.
The open air features for the past
week have included the high wire act
of well known Zion boy. ]. c. Erick-
son. Madame Isma, a 'full-bloOGed

In the Police Court

In police court yesterday afternoon
F. Stearns and William Martin, the
two DRINKS who assaulted Fred Ditrick
and raised a disturbance in Walten-
spiels cigar store Friday night. were
each fined $50 and given thirty days
in jail. Both pleaded guilty to the
charges against them, but said that
they were drunk and could not remem-
Der what they had done. Stearns be-
came highly incenSed at a question put
to him by the prosecutor after he had
received his sentence, and it was nee
essary for the court to threaten to
double his punishment to quiet him.
Both offenders claimed that they were
only passing through the city and in
tended to leave yesterday. but they
were Informed that they would have to
postpone their trip for thirty days.
In the case of G. Rostine charged
with assaulting F. Yeager. the defend
ant was discharged. The evidence
went to show that both men were to
blame for the occurrence, and that the
case was one only in a technical sense.
