complete band OF soloists.
Il is a very hard matter to en-

the reason that they are very
scarce and when under contract al
ways get large salaries. their ser
vices being sought for BY managers
who appreciate the fact that it does
not pay to carry an incompetent
musician because be can be gotten

his men from the best known solo-

will give q grand concert on the
day Of the company's appearance

was lively while it lasted, and
there we're one or two Of about as
cIesn knock downs as one ever
sees.
The principals were arrested, and

STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE.
Judge Payne and Marshal Mad
sen Called Upon to Inyesti-
gate Strange Case.

United States Commissioner
Payne and Marshal Madsen were
called to Rush Springs last night
10 investigate the strange disap-
pearance Of a man named Alfred
Hill, a painter of NARROW, who
has been missing from his home
for over week They succeeded
in reaching a conclusion which
they believe to be a correct solu-
tion Of the mystery.
On Monday, week ago Hill
left his wife and child III NARROW
and came to Rush Springs
ostensibly to buy farm. He
arrived in the afternoon and
about dark phoned to his wife,
who had been somewhat indis-
posed, asking as to her condition
After sitting in a drug store and
chatting a few hours he went to
pool and billiard hall, where he
remained till II o'clock. He left
with the remark that he was GO
ing to bed, and that was the last
seen Of him. AS he did not turn
up in reasonable time, foul
play was suspected, and steps
were taken to investigate his
strange and unaccountable
absence.
Judge Payne and Marshal
Madsen questioned everyone at
NARROW who knew Of his visit,
and inquired concerning his
domestic relations, financial con-
dition, and every other source Of
information they could CLEAN,
and had about reached the con
clusion that he hsd met with foul
play, when a message from Mar
low cleared up the mystery. mr..
Hill was short about $55 in his
accounts with the head camp Of
the Woodmen. and had failed to
remit 70 the head Office on the
date he should have done so. He
probably expended the money as
he had received it and found he
could not make the payment at
the proper time. so disappeared
as the easiest method Of getting
out Of il.
