Grand Rapids, Michigan, that she was
implicated in the murder of Villa
Ryan, an aged spectacle peddler. near
Murray, Utah, few weeks ago, and
who has been brought here for trial

ment that she first made in regard to
the killing and now declares that she
did not fire the shot that killed Rayn.
Ryan's remains were exumed yes

in tie ton of his head.
When Mrs. Hodge was told of this
she appeared much surprised.

Mrs. Hodge persistent'y refuses to

 "The summer is always bit dull for us in the metropolis, and some of us who make the pictures have to do some close figuring.

The cowboy who was holding the horse by the head told me to get on. grabbed the bride rein and made fly ing leap, for knew the broncho would get under way immediately.

 The extremely muddy condition ot the roads, which always accompanies the opening of the spring season, has already set in. The rain which fell dur ing the past few days has caused the frost to come out of the ground so rap idly that the mud in some parts of the town is very deep. On the east side road, between the Thomasto corner and )the residence of Samuel Hoskins, the mud comes nearly up to the hubs on the wagon wheels, making it very difficult for drivers to pass over that portion of the road.

A MAGICIAN of Today.

Magician Kellar is justly entitled to
rank as the greatest magician the world
has yet produced, for in his entertain
ments. as they are given this season,
he so far outranks all competitors as to
stand absolutely alone. His methods
are his own, and, disdaining all the fla
grant and apparent subterfuges usual
ly resorted to by unskilled performers,
he apparently has but to command the
most unheard- of-things to happen, and
his word is obeyed. Everything he
does is presented upon a fully lighted
stage, and he never uses screens or
traps or coverings to hide any part of
his work. Long years of practice have
made him the greatest living adept in
pure sleight of hand. and in this por-
ton of his entertainment he will offer
some startling novelties for his engage
ment at the Opera House on Monday
evening. Nov. 2.
