ACCUSED OF PUEBLO MURDERS

Denver, March 2S.-Two men sus-
pected of the double murder in Pueblo

can connect them with the Pueblo
crime. Davis and Brewer were sent to
the reformatory from Boulder on the
charge of burglary. They remained in
the prison a short time and were pa
rolled. Davis returned to Boulder and
has since made that place his home.
A few months ago he was Joined by
Brewer. The men made occasional
trips out of Boulder. March 18th they
went to work in the Livingstone mine.
According to Deputy Sheriff Granger
Davis and Brewer were in Pueblo on
the night of March 18th. They were
not there the next day, but We're traced
to Denver. Then the sheriff of Pueblo
came here and with the city detectives
tried to locate the men. The names of
the suspects were learned and their
photographs were found at the Denver
police station. These pictures were
sent to the witnesses of the murders in
Pueblo and in every case they were
identified as the murderers.
The descriptions were sent to all the
sheriffs in the state and when one
reached Sheriff Sipple he notified the
authorities OF Pueblo and Deputy Gran
ger started for Boulder, Detective Ley
den accompanying. Sheriff Sippie tcas'

Johnnie's Wind.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean,
Mgnonette Kokin is vaudeville artistic
who has more harmony in her feet than In
her voice. so she engages a small boy to as
slst her by singing the chorus of her songs
from the gallery The lads name Is john
ny, and he has earned a reputation for
being ION the spot
Johnny who is somewhat stout of build
was recently assisted in the act of Mile
kokin and had stationed himself In the gal
lery after his custom. The place was
crowded and he was obliged to squeeze his
way in front of a group of little gods, who
objected to his interfering with their view
and who had no regard for him as a part
of the show. Suddenly one of them planted
his fist in Johnnys back with violent
thud. The blow sent Johnny against the
railing so violently that for the time being
his usefulness as a chorister was impaired
Miss kokin paused. but there came no
answering chorus. She glanced UP to the
gallery, fearing that the boy was not there;
then. seeing him, motiOned wildly for him to
take up his cue.
Johnny was breathing hard but finally
managed to regain enough voice TO call
audibly: Say. wait a minute. My wind S
all gone. A fresh guy up here has broke up
my voice"
And thus did little Johnny make the hit
of his life.

A Model Telephone Box.

From the New York Times.
A young couple in Brooklyn have recent
ly invested in a fine old house on the
heights and have remodeled Ii to suit their
own taste Both of them have taste of a
good qualify and the money TO make it eff
fective, so the house is model of attract
iveness. One thing which Is particularly
interesting is che use to which they have
put an old-time> niche which was in the
curve of the staircase. This was built in
houses. apparently, for statuary, but fine
heirloom in this country. so one must con-
clude that the eyesore on the stairway had
no utility. This one has. been screened Off
from view by an incurviifg door of stained
glass in deliciously soft tifts and Of a de-
sign obviously executed for that sole pur-
pose. Inside is an electric light which
sheds it's modified rays on the stairs, and
this cupboard makes place for the tele-
phone. As this is near the top OF the stairs
and the living room adjacent. nothing could
be more convenient.

THE RIGHT TO HISS.
a Frerogative That Should Be Exercis-
ed With Discretion.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Boston judge has decided that Kissing
in a theater is no violation of law, placing
that demonstration on a level with APP
plaLse The defendant in the case grew
sibilant when performance displeased him
and was promptly hauled into court. The
learned judge informed him that he needn't
go to the trouble of defending himself as he
did no harm if he Kissed, ''booed," groaned,
or even made sarcastic remarks.
This is presumably good law, and it is
certainly good sense within limits. A hiss
is in itself no more disturbing to ones
ncighbors than an enthusiastic bravo A
spectator has the undoubted right to eX-
press even audible approval or condemna-
ton of a play or player, but the right to
interfere with the pleasure and comfort
OF others will not be established even by
fast line can be drawn. 1t is largely a
matter of taste and breeding. 1t is not al
ways for policeman or court to tell
when vocal demonstration of praise or
blame ceases to be an expression of critical
Judgment and becomes ebullition of mere
rowdyism.
American theaters have been free. as a
rule. from such ardent manifestations.
Actors and singers, especially those famil-
lar with European practices, would prob
ably complain that Americans in general
are unresponsive even if appreciative. Ira
dition is everything Neither the 'booing
tolerated in London theaters nor the local
pyrotechnics encountered on the continent
nd favor with the typical American au
dience. There Is much to be said for So
Cial canons which enjoin restraint"
