SEARCHING
FOR BLACK.
But Clues Fails to Head
Capture of the Fiend.

Aberdeen. Nd, Feb. GA posse from
this place went to Darlington in the north
eastern part Of Hartford county to- day to
search for William Black, the negro ac-
cused of fclonOusly a,saulting Miss Jessie
Bradford last Wednesday.
Several cues were received hero that led
the comlnil tee to believe that Black is in
hiding In that section, but no results have
yOt boen attained.
Reports from other sources indicate that
the negro has crossed this GunpOwder on
his way to Baltimore. and many think
that he has boarded an oyster boat and
gone down the bay.
A mes .age was received from private
source in Baltimore to-day saying that a
man supposed to be Black was on an oys-
ter pungy in Canton hollow. George
Wright, of Aberdeen, who knows Black,
went to Baltimore Ind saw the man, but
he was not the one who Is wanted.
Thero is still much suppressed excite
ment, AMI an organization OF 40 of tho
most prominent men in the town has been
formed with the nvowed intention Of
lynching Black should he be caught.
Nary Black, the regros wife, came to
Aberdeen from Baltimore this morning
and walked from hero to Havre dc Grace.
This afternoon she walked back to Aber-
deem and went to her home. She has been
Watched ever since she left here last Fri
day. but has not met her husband. Ier
return to her home 1t seems feasible that
Black is still in hiding near his old homo
at Darling on.
Baltimore, Feb. ss-Captain League, Of
the harbor police patrol is away with sav-
eral officers on the steam yacht Ivanhoe
searching for William Back, who is ac-
cused of feloniously assaulting Miss Jessie
Bradford, near Aberdeen, Hartford county
last week. Black is thought to have
reached Baltimore and shipped on an oys-
ter vessel. The Iyanhoe party will mako
n thorough search Of the different fleet Of
oyster vessels before returning.

victed of crime, make a sensation
al escape from prison. The piece
is by Joseph LeBrandt and will be
seen at the Opera House Thursday

tons and dramatic effects. 1t is
also literally supplied with comedy
and its scenic equipment is novel
and complete. The company is
made up of actors who have won
honorable places in their profession
and the character drawing has
been done by bold and skillful
hand. The story interests from the
rise Of the curtain on the first act
Jack Rutledge, a young fellow with
taste for sports, loses thousand
dollars on horse race. The vii
lain, James Horton, pretends to be
his friend and lends him the money
in the form of Il check, to pay the
debt. The check is forged one
drawn in the name of Jacks father

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
KATZENJAMMERS KIDS.

Good things are always welcome,
and to Judge from the reception ac-
corded Edward and Libbie Blon-
dell in the newest laughing sensa-
tion "The Katzenjammer Kids"
they must be reckoned among the
bright stars of the season. Their
appearance at the Opera House
this afternoon and evening will un-
doubtedly inaugurate a weeks
business such as we seldom see.
The past year has shown decid-
ed fondness on the part of the pub
lie for farce-comedy but the success
of this production has been extra
ordinary. In all the principal cities
the "Kids" have been greeted by
enormous audiences, the recurrent
echo of their vociferous laughter
emphasizing that the New York
Journals famous cartoons relative
to the funny pranks OF these meddle
some kids" has not been exag-
gerated upon. The production is
universally acknowledged the most
pronounced success Of the year.
Edward and Libbie Blondell are
too we'll and favorably known to
need commendation. They un-
doubtcdlv rank first and foremost
among all eXponents of broad
comedy in this country. Without
exception taking only into consid-
GRAFTON the mirth provoking and
laughter producing situations, the
verbal iur and gymnastic hilarity.
this may be rated as the most
laughable-we might more proper
ly say the most side-splitting play
seen in many years, and all the
amusement seekers who fail to see
the Blondells in "The Katzenjam-
mer Kids" will miss more fun than
they will be able to derive from any
other source in some time to come.
