in the irrigated belt is one easily avert

Ialkaii may be brought to the surface
and ruin land for crop growth, but by
subdraining land to keep. down the

LlPMAN AND MANN
IN 1.-THE RED KL0OF'

Hard as it is to think of Louis Mann
in a part that compels an exhibition of
sorrow the people who saw him last
night in THE Red Kloof'' agreed that
he is as we'll fitted for emotional act
ing as for comedy. And Miss Lpman-
the part she has does not allow her
many opportunities, but what she does
is done in her customary excellent
style.
1.-THE Red Kloof' is a comedy-drama
of Boer life, the first three acts being
laid during the time of the Jameson
raid and the last act has for it's time
the present day. 1t is a drama in
which the comedy element predOmi-
mates. though once or twice there is a
touch Of melodrama and almost OF
tragedy Piet Prinsloo. field cornet,
Boer farmer and a man with love for
naught but his daughter, his cattle and
his country. believes his daughter tC
have betrayed his people on account of
her love for an English officer. He
drives her from his home and forbids
her name to be mentioned but the
grief he feels turns him into an old
man in a few years, uncared for save
by Tante Johanna Daw and Jacobus
Van Siklen, two whom he has ill
treated as much as possible. His
daughter returns to him, however, and
he forgives her and even the English
officer whom she has married, and
there is a general rejoicing.
The scenic equipment Of the piece
adds much to the atmosphere Of the
quaint life it depicts and all the set
tings of a South African farm, even
to the Kaffir and Hottentot servants
and an ostrich, are perfectly shown.
The company is all that could be de-
sired, and each member deserves men,
ton for his or her work.
THE Red Kloof' will be presented
again this afternoon and evening.

IMPORTANT CASE WILL y,
BE TRIED IN BOSTON

In the suit of Smith VS.. city Of Wor-
cester, an appeal from a sewer assess
ment, the plaintiffs attorneys, Hop
kins, Smith & Hopkins, secured an
order of notice, yesterday, making the
case returnable In Boston, Jan. Z.
Notice has been given to the city.
The issue involved is of the greatest
Importance. If the manner in which
the plaintiffs assessment is laid proves
to be illegal. it is probable that every
assessment for sewer construction lev
led since 1858 is also Illegal and that
the city will be in a position where it
will be obliged to return thousands of
dollars
Sums approaching a million dollars
have been paid into the city treasury
under the statute by which the com
plainant in the present case was as
sessed.

CONTRACTORS NOT BLAMED
FOR DEATH OF BOWIE

Judge C. C. Stone of the Second Dis
trict Court of Eastern Worcester, filed
his finding on the inquest into the
death of Edward Douglass Bowie
which was held Nov. 26. Bowie was
employed by Nawn & Brock, contract
ors on the Wachusett reservoir, and
was riding on a train of 122 loaded
dirt cars. The whistle blew for brakes
and Bowie applied the brakes on a
forward car. The brake and a portion
of the platform came away. Bowie fell
under the train and was instantly
killed.
Judge Stone finds that the car APP
peared to be as well made as most cars
of the kind and that no blame at
taches to Bowie's employers or to any
other person on account of his death.
The accident occurred Nov. 20.

HORSE STRUCK LIVE WIRE
AND WAS ELECTROCUTED

A horse attached to a wagon used to
deliver kilograms about Worcester
stepped on a live trolley wire at Graf
ton Square yesterday morning about 6
o'clock and was instantly killed. The
animal was owned by c. B. Jenne of
SO Orange Street and was driven by
Dennis Fontaine.
At the time the rig was crossing the
square the electric lights had gone out
and it was impossible for the driver to
see far ahead. The horse struck the
live wire with one foot and the track
with the other completing a circuit
that caused current of enough voltage
to instantly kill 10 animals.
Mr.. Fontaine was not in the wagon
at the time Of the accident having just
alighted to deliver a bundle Of papers.
