prisoners so that they could not give
him the lp again, The trio then con-
tinued the trip to Fort Slocum.

WILL PASS
CRIMINAL BUSINESS TO BE HAN
DIED BY EACH DEPART
MENT OF COURT.
THE new JUDGE WILL
ALSO HAVE A WHIRL.
NIpper Case Will Be -aken Up Jan. 10
and Will Probably Consume
Two Weeks.

In case of the appointment of a third
Judge in the district court of this coun-
ty, the riminal business will probably
be passed around, each department han
ding it for a period of two months at
a time. During the last four ears
Judge Clancy has had charge Of all of
it., but he now thinks it would be better
to give Zach one a whirl at it, and will
insist upon an equal division of the
business in his line.
On the eth of January, the day on
which the new officers will assume their
duties in the court house, Judge Clancy
will open court for the purpose of ad-
ministering the oath to the new men
and will her adjourn until the 18th.
On the latter date he will begin hearing
the motion docket, which has been post

the 18th he will begin hearing the OBJ
j%ections to the monthly report Of Thos.
Mclaughlin, as receiver for the Nipper
mine, following it with the hearing Of
the motion to discharge the receiver.
He expects that this business will con-
sumo at least two weeks of his time.
After finishing up this work, the pro-
posed new judge will have been named,
provided a bill authorizing the gov
ernor to appoint. one receives the sane
ton of the legislature, and a division

HE DISPLAYED
HIS MONEY
ALBERT ALGEE AWoKE TO FIND
HE HAD BEEN ROBBED OF
$4,000
CAME TO TOWN
TO PAY HIS DEBTS.
"A Mar Named Al Smith Arrested by
the Police and Charged With the
Robbery.

Albert Algee, a blacksmith at the
Nine Mile house, was robbed of about
$s6 yesterday, and a young man giving.
the name of AL Smith was arrested for
the crime.
Algee came into town for the purpose
OF paying debts to the amount of $50.
On the way in he stopped at a saloon,
and, getting a glass of beer, endered
a 80 bill in payment. 1t is believed that
smith, or someone answering his de-
scription. saw him display the money
and followed him up.
Algee afterward stopped at Fitschen's
saloon, on South Main street, and was
met there by a well-dressed and pleas
ant-spoken man. Algee complained that
his feet We're swollen and roubled him.
The young man offered him the use of
his room while he changed his socks
for a lighter pair, and Algee accepted
the invitation. After he had made the
change he laid down on the bed and
went to sleep. When he awoke he
found that he a. been robbed, and
reported the matter to the police.
Officer Ferns traced Smith to an East
Park street saloon and placed him
under arrest. Algee identified the man
as the one who had rendered the use
OF his room. Smith. who is believed to
he Clark, said that he had never seen
Algee before.
The case will probably be turned over
to the county.

KATIE EMMETTATS UTTON'S.
"The New Waits OF New York; Pre-.
scented to Large Audiences.

Sutton's theater Is evidently increas-
ing in popularity, as a playhouse, the
increase doubtless being due. to the dis
elimination of it's manager in booking
good plays and thereby avoiding the
danger of the theater gaining the reputa-
ton of being a house of refuge for the
weaker companies. Both the matinee
and evening performances of the New
Waits of New York yesterday We're
witnessed by large audiences.
The play is strong and the cast of
characters good. Katie Emmett lived
we'll up to her reputation as Willie Ru-
fus, the neWsboy. Harry Cowley made a
good hero and Ed. Kerr, the villain, drew
forth a tribute of Kisses from the gal
lery. Lorin L. Howard did some fine
character work as the native German.
The play will be on the boards during
the rest of the week and is well deserv-
ing of public patronage.

"BROWN'S IN TOWN."
A Farce in Which There Are MANY
ComicaI Situations.

From the small audience at the Grand
Opera house last evening one would
naturally infer that the local theater
going public as a whole has not yet dis
covered that Browns in Town." Those
who have never seen the farce would
add another evening to the sum total
of he time in their lives passed in en-
joyment by taking advantage of the
present opportunity.
To be sure, the farce is not one of the
kind at which adjectives denoting
worth and superiority can be hurled in
discriminatory, but it does not drag and
many of the situations are very comical.
While some of the repartee borders on
the risque, it is of a refined nature and
likely to offend none but a latter day
Puritan.
The company is we'll balanced and
some of the specialties introduced are
bright and clever. Miss Maud True
KnoWltOn, as Lefty, is a very pretty girl
and a graceful realistic actress. Her
work last evening explains the rapid adj
vancement she has made since her stage
debut.
Jessie Mae Hall "a winsome little SOU
brette with a nightingale voice, is not
only a fair actress, but her rendition of
Comm Thro' the Rye alone is worth
the price of admittance to the theater.
Fannie Midgely, as the "colored lady,
cook, also made a hit with the audience.
Her make UP is excellent and one of
her songs, a parody on THE Blue and
the Gray is worth hearing.
Abel Preston, the doting father, is
depicted in very good style by Charles
Horn, but the same ann be justly
said of George WEIGH as Dick Preston,
the son. Mr.. Welch's acting is marred
by one thing: he smiles when he is sup
posed to be in fighting humor, he smiles
when he is expected to be in agony, and
he smiles aimlessly. A man may smile
and smile and not be a villain, but in
nine cases of ten when WEIGH smiles, the
sense of artistic perception receives a
solar pleNus jolt. In the expressive
slang of West Point, if Mr.. Welch would
succeed on the stage he must wipe that
smile off his countenance."
