After Lengthy Trial
Winthrope Described interesting
Circumstances to Court.

Mayor Doyle was occupied in Police
court Wednesday forenoon from o to
1l45 o'clock, hearing evidence in the
case against Otto Winthrope, charged
with stealing S1S from the cash d-swer
ID Kesler's restaurant at the corner of
Howard and Market sts., last Monday
morning The defendant was night
clerk at the place.
The prosecution exhibited a box of
cigars found OH top of freight car
near the Valley bridge, which was sup
POSED to have been taken from the res
tHurant, and the prying steel used In
prying the door open A strong case was
made against Winthrope by the police,
the supposition being that the defend.
ant had taken the money, and then
rrled the door open as a blind.
Winthrope's defense was that ne left
the place on a necessary errand, that
when he returned he found the door
FRIED open and the money gone. He
statd that he Immediately informed the
officers. 1t was shown that he had
spent all Of his money the night before.
The Court, after hearing all Of the ev-
iiencc, stated that the case rested en-
tlely on circumstantial evidence and
that the evidence pointed very strongly
towards Winthrope as the guilty one.
His Honor said, however, that In hiS
mind there was n reasonable doubt, and
the theft mlsht have been committed
10y some one else, hence he discharged
Winthrope as not guilty.

GOOD
Price For Young
Chickens,
Many Now Coming In
to Market.
Rise Expected In Prices Of Al
perishable Products.

The local market for country pro.
duce has been advancing gradually
during the past few days and the
groccrs predict general rise in perish
able products if the cold weather hangs
on. quite n large quantity Of live
chickens have already begun to come
in and young ones are bringing from
0 cents to 10 cents per pound. There
seems to be little demand for fresh
eggs among the larger portion Of the
trade as storage eggs can be bought
so much cheaper and are apparently
quite as satisfactory. There Is always
demand for good butter and an In.
crease Of Il cent or two is looked for.
nhc recent rise of cents in the price
Of potatoes indicates the scarcity Of
that article in the market; apples are
plentiful and bringing fair prices.

departure in modern melOdrama. Al
though full of exciting incidents ana
powerful dramatic situations, its p0pu-
larlty was not gained by the ordinary
clap-trnp methods usually inscparnble
from this class of play. As literary
work II stands forward prominently,
and the story is one Of more than or
dinary interest The play Is situated
in Switzerland, and that romantic
country lends itself particularly well
TO scenic effects. The plot Is laid
around the Monastery Of st. Bernard,
with its picturesque monks and sagac'
ious dogs, and scml-rCligiOus halo
adds much TO the effectiveness of the
romance The scenic effects are par
ticuIarly fine, one being the Plateau Of
st. Bernard, with the historical
monastery, where n duel Is fought and
the lifC-saving dogs rescue the
wounded man. The dogs used in this
production are full-bloOdcd st, Bcr-
nards, among them being the famous
saver Seger huge animal whose re-
cord Is twenty-threc lives. "When the
