Miners Comedians are in the city
this week playing an off engagement.
They were booked for Stuart but were
unable to fill their engagement on ac-
count of small pox in that city. They
are a very clever company and put on
a good play last night-"The New
York Wait" The Woodman hall is
small and the stage had to be erected
and the scenery painted, but they did
good work. They have some strong
speciality people in Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward Miner and the little girl Bonnie
They had a fairly good house last
night but will have much better one
tonight. The play this evening is

F. S. Watts and Will O'Connell
who own the two adioiding properties
on the south side of Broadway, Mr..
O'Cornell the one occupied by his
jewelry store and Mr.. Watts the one
so long occupied as a furniture store,
are both talking of replacing their
present frame buildings next summer
with brick structures and building an
opera house above the two. This
would be very good improvement,
one which our people would welcome
and one which would doubtless pay
the owners to make. We need an
opera house in Audubon, or at least a
large room where a public meeting
can be held.

WEALTHY MAN
WAS SHOT
HARRY SCULLIN SON OF PROMI-
NENT ST. LOUIS CAPITALIST AC-
CIDENTLY SHOT ON SIBERIA.

There came near being a tragedy
aboard the S. S. Siberia on her trip
from San Francisco to this port. Harry
Scullin a wealthy St. Louis man is
walking with the aid of crutches while
a bullet from SO caliber pistol is
lodged some where in his left thigh.
The shooting was an accident.
Young Scullin has been suffering
from nervous disorder for some time
so his physicians ordered him to take
a sea trip. He decided to go to YOkO-
hama. on the afternoon of March IL
shortly after the Siberia got under way
for Honolulu and the Orient, Scullin
had occasion to open the drawer OF a
cibinet in his staterOom. He had
placed his revolver in the drawer.
Evidently the roll of the vessel and the
sudden opening of the drawer caused
the pistol to strike against the side Of
the drawer and explode the CARTRIDGE.
The ball passed through the front part
of the drawer entered young Scullin's
left thigh, close to the hip and ranged
upward.
DR.. c. A. Lutz the surgeon of the ST.
IBERIA was summoned Immediately. He
tried to locate the bullet but the probe
failed to reach the ball. The ball is
from a German cartridge and is a
nickle capped affair and was fired by
high pressure powder, so 1t probably
extended much farther into the young
mans thigh than an ordinary ball
would have done,
Scullin was put ashore at Honolulu
and the y ray will be called into SER
