Judge Wooster had a "hoss" case on
tap today. Herman Pearlstein was the
complaining witness and E. II. Salazar
the defendant. The case involved the
ownership of the animal and it was so
badly mixed, the court took a recess
until 5 o'clock this evening, when it
was cooler, to settle the matter.
Anent the street railway. Word has
come again that the projectors are
still alive in the shape of a letter from
a gentleman in st. Louis, saying that
he would be here about the first of the
month and that the machinery would
be on the ground here by the first of
August. Is it too good to be true?
People who want a street railway as
badly as Las Vegans do, certainly
ought to be accommodated, and we be-
lieve they will be soon.
When Shakespeare is to be played,
one generally feels that it is some
thing good for amateurs to let alone,
but last night at the opera house the
audience was most ~agreeably surprised
at the way the class of '02 of the Nor
NAL university handled The Merchant
of Venice The production of that
classic was really splendid and the
class is certainly to be congratulated
on their h%istrionic ability. The parts,
one and all, were well taken and well
handled, but the portrayal of Shylock
by Clarence Browne was a revelation
to his many friends. The interpreta-
ton of this character is most difficult,
but Mr.. Browne carried the character
of the money lender in a real profess
sional way. The play was costumed
well, the costumes having come from
Denver. The settings of the stage were
well handled, and on the whole, the
production was one of real merit. The
play was preceded by a pantOmime en-
titled "B~elshaZzar's DOOM" the parts
being acted to the superb reading of
Miss Helen Blake. The skit was a
most graceful one, the stage being
filed with dancing girls while the or
chestra accompanied their movements
during the portrayal and story of the
play.
The whole sky was lighted up last
night in the south in the neighborhood
of the round house by a fire at /: As.
The whistles and fire bell made a
merry tune for a short time and one
would have thought the whole town
was burning up instead of a few out
houses belonging to Mr.. Avery on Til
den venue The east side fire com
pany turned out. fourteen strong and
o 20 had the blaze under control. A
fence vas destroyed and a couple of
o%uthouses badly scorched. How the
IRE caught it is not known.
The infantry company had a good
drill last night and were practicing for
the sham battle with the cavalry troop
on the Fourth. The infantry company
is to defend the plaza, and the cavalry
troopers make the attack. 1t is not
known from which direction they will
come, but there will be noise galore, as
each company will have about twelve
rounds of ammunition. The companies
will try and outpoint one another, and
on the score depends the victory.

City Engineer LEVY has given the

Nicanor Rudolph and wife have
transferred to Pablo Lopez. lots 5 and
6, in II. Ulibarri's addition to Las
Vegas for a consideration of $3.50. Mr..

pie of the appreciation in value of Las
Vegas dirt.

Some of our advance style fellows
here are wearing a e combination
shirt-cbat. They wear il IA la Chinese"
except that they are modest enough to
stick the front end inside. Ii is almost
painful the schemes that are tried to
get away from the wearing of a regu-
lation attire by men folks during the
heated term. Go in your shirt sleeves,
men; as your forefathers did, or if
you must commit something, try a
shirt waist.
James Purcell, one of the Santa Fe
