COMPLIMENTS
!: FOR THE JURY
IN DISCHARGING THE PANEL
JUDGE CLANCY SAYS SOME
NICE Things.
WILL DEVOTE SOME
TIME TO MINING MATTERS
The Judge Says the Supreme Court
Does Not Practice What It breaches
in All Matters.

Judge Clancy convened his department
of the district court this morning, but
did nothing save discharge his jury for
the term and adjourn until 9 O'Clock Sat
urday. Before letting the jurors so, how
ever, he paid them quite compliment
for their attention to business during
the term "Gentlemen," said he. lit was
my original intention to try some civil
cases at this term of court, but some
mining litigation has crowded itself in
and shut out all civil business. Tae su-
preme court says these matters should
not be set for hearing so far ahead; that
there are 1wenty-four hours in day.
and as the regular sessions of court take
up only five hours they should be heard
without delay. The law does not COM
pei judge to hold night sessions and
I do not believe l will do it. My ses-
sions now cover six hours a day-from
9 until u and from . until 5. l do not
believe the supreme court practices what
1t breaches. At any rate l have decided
to devote some of my time to hearing
the matters which the supreme court
says ought to be heard as soon as pos
sible and let the civil cases go. These
mining matters have been crowding in
and shutting off all other civil business
for two years. Before discharging you
wish to thank you for your work. You
have been the best jury ever had. You
have been on hand always, never caus-
ing delay in the proceedings by your
hardness. You have been sober. some
thing l cannot say of the members of
other juries 1 had had. You are now
discharged for the term"

DATES WERE MIXED.
Two Shows That Were Booked for the
Same Night.

through an error on the part of ad-
vance agents AL. G. Fields MINISTRIES and
the Stanton Opera company We're both
booked for performances at the Grand
opera house on next Sunday evening. AS
Field has possession of the thea
ter on that date, the controversy
has been settled in his favor and ar
engagements made for the Stanton opera
company to give its first two perform
ances at Sutton's theater.
On Sunday. therefore, the opera COM
pany will give a matinee and evening
performance at Sutton's. the prices of ad-
mittance being slightly reduced from
Grand opera house prices. On Monday,
as soon as the premises are vacated by
Field, the company will remove to the
Grand and present selections from it's
repertoire on Monday. Tuesday and We'd
nesday evenings. At Sutton's theater
''Dorcas" will be produced.
AL G. Fields greater Ministries ap-
pear at the Grand this evening and will
give performances also on Friday, Sat-
urday and Sunday evenings. The COM
pany is heralded as one of the best min
strel aggregations in the country. The
reputation of Field himself as a comedian
is Well established and his success here
depends on his support.
Doc" Quigley is another celebrity at
whom the redundant encomium of the
advance agent is leveled Here is what
is said of Quigley and a few others IN
the company:
" Doc Quigley, he of the eccentric
mien and equally eccentric legs, is with
the AL. G. Field greater MINISTRIES again
this season and scoring heavily and
steadily, just as he always did. Many
men can be funny in voice and gesture.
Few can make their legs serve the same
ends. Doc Quigley is one of the men who
can. To see him cross the stage would
bring laugh from craven image. He
will tickle our risibilit ties again this sea-
son with plenty of new conceits in he

ordinary and something worth seeing.
