The Biiou.

The Bijou Theatre has had larger au-
diences than last night but 1t never had
one more enthusiastic than that which
applauded to actors and actresses In "Her
Marriage Vow" which opened a weeks
engagement at the popular playhouse.
The play is one replete with good mo.
cflanical effects, fine scenery and cap.
able presenting company. The railroad
scene-two trains going In opposite d..
rect!ons ut full speed-is fine one. ap.
peallng strongly to those who daily en'
gage in railroading. It Is melodrama,
pure and simple, dealing with people 10
the humble walks of life, In which the
aristocratlc Villain meets with the swift
and certain retribution of man VINO
invades the home and destroys the nome
of devoted father.
The comedy role, Ebenezer Chunp, IN
the capacity of storekeeper and postmas'
ter, is most amusing, his courtship pelns
awkward, bungling and meeting with ire
auent Interruptions. There Is a matinee
this afternoon, with performances nightly.

QUEER STORY BY A JUROR
WHICH THE JUDGE INVESTIGATED
AND DID NOT SUSTAIN.
Will Case in which Farmer Alleged
Bank Officials Tried to Present
Him with Money.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July ga SEN
sation was sprung in the Circuit Court to-
day when Judge NJ NJ. Allison called the
jury in the Whiteside will contest case, in
volving an estate of nearly a million dol
lars, into court and asked them il any at
tempt had been made to unduly influence
them i'm their verdict The jury has been
dead-locked for more than a week
James Goodson, a farmer, who is one Of
the jurors, stated to the court that on Sat-
urday last he went into the Chattanooga
Savings Bank and asked for change for a
five-dolar bill. The teller pushed him ten
dollars in silver. He swore that when he
returned the money the teller pushed out
another pile instead of taking the surplus
five dollars. The Chattanooga Savings Bank
is one of the three executors of the White
side will and the testimony Of its officers
was strongly in favor of sustaining the will
Judge Allison issued indictments for
Cashier Hardin and Teller Gibbs on the
charge of tampering with the jury, but dis
missed them after hearing.
Mrs. Whiteside, whose will is being con-
tested was a Christian Scientist and the
contestants, three of her sons and one
daughter are trying to break the will on
the ground that their mother was mentally
unbalanced

GOSHEN, Ind, July 2S-The recent la
Dor troubles of William Hunt, one of the
subcontlactors urder Macarthur Bros, of
Chicago. who have the entire contract for
grading for the new Lake Shore yards
west of Elkhart, have reached the Circuit
Court, James Waber, the partner of Will
lam Hunt, petitioning for a restraining
order to prevent Hunt from receiving addi-
tional pay from Macarthur Bros, and for a
receiver, that the work might be con-
tinued. Judge ]. u Ferrall, of this judicial
circuit, being out OF the State, at Mt
Clemens, Mich, the petition was taken be-
Court, at South Bend, who appointed At
torney Ira III. Church, of Elkhart, as re-
ceiver, and he at once gave bond in the
sum of $4,000. Last Friday Hunt became
embarrassed, and. his workmen quit his
employ because he could not pay them.
Hunts partner alleges their financial
troubles are the result of Hunts dissipa-
ton and gambling. The firm owes sl,40O
to Ekhart grocers for supplies, 5000 to
banks and 500 for tools There is due them
for this months work about $500 from
that II work was not resumed Monday
they would have to forfeit the contract
and suffer the attendant losses. The firm
Is one of the eight subcontractorS on the
job, and its contract calls for moving $1,000
cubic yards of earth at 17% cents per yard
by Oct i. forfeit of $500 will be required
if the contract is not completed by that
date.
