vanced by the smaller companies and
individual operators.

found asphyxiated in his room this
morning.
The watchman of the hotel, in max

that Barrett knew Tagliaferri was a
watchman as he had been ordered out
of the yards the previous week, and
his only reason for hitting the man
was because he persisted in putting
his greasy gloves on his arm.
e. w Dobson, attorney for the Santa
Re company, appeared for the plaintiff
He held that the boys were trespass-
ers, and that the watchman was justl-
fed in using any means he saw fit to
make the boys get off the railroads S
property.
Attorney Heacock appeared for the
defendant. He argued that the boys
were aggravated to the assault, by the
mere fact that a plank was thrown on
the track in front of the moving car
by the watchman which might have re
suited in death or a serious injury, and
that his malice was all directed towart
Barrett.
After all the testimony on both sides
had been heard the case was taker
under advisement and a bond will be
fixed later.

"A GAY DECEIVER" TONIGHT.

"A True Kentuckian" by the Krause-
Taylor company, was played to a
packed house at Colombo hall last
night. The play was Of southern dia-
mining camp of Nevada. 1t started off
a little slow, but by the close of the
first act the audience had caught the
drift, and from that time until the cur
tain dropped at the close, the players
had due attention.
]. C. Taylor, as "Caleb Swan, the
only legitimate and higntoned 'keard
dealer in Sand Hill," was especially
fitted for the role he carried. Eleanor
Franklin. as Tennessee Kent, from
Smoky Mountain" was second fav-
orite. The remainder of the cast was
very good, especially Laverna Moore,
who was "Nettle Bice, the bride" Her
role was especially hard to carry oil
account of having a lazy husband, who
only lived one year in his life, the
year of '67. This part was taken by
Otto Krause, as "Gewiliker Hay, the
=
work by The Morrisons" was in rag
time and met with much applause. A
moderately new stunt done between
the third and fourth acts, created con-
siderable amusement. Mrs. Morrison
came out and sang bar of please Go
Way and Let Me Sleep" In the mean
time Mr.. Morrison slipped into the
audience and went to sleep. He sat
nodding in very conspicuous posi-
ton. The lady broke Oh in her song
and objected to the young mans man
ner, and asked the ushers to put him
out. The audience was with her and
some of the more enthusiastic shouted,
Put him out" On being aroused the
young man sang the chorus of the
lady's unfinished song 1t pleases an
American audience to be deceived and
the house applauded.

crowd. Tonight it will be the players

PRIVATE MASQUE BALL.

One of the gayest social events of
the season was the private masque
ball given by Mrs. Rosa Berry in honor
of the juvenile minstrels. The hall was
decorated in bright colors and the
spectacle presented by the masquerade
ers was bewildering.

dancing capacity. Every nationality
and class of people were represented
in appropriate costumes.
Gay dancing maidens chatted with
the witty Irishman and comical Dutch
man. Cinnamon wearing the fantastic
oriental garb mingled with the crowd
of gay and grotesque figures. Every
one seemed to take extra pains at con-
cealing his or her identity and most of
their efforts were crowned with sue.

up, bright colors and artistic appear
ances predominated.
The evening of dancing was one of
greatest pleasure to the mirthful
dancers. The masks were discarded
at 10: 80 o'clock. The identity of some
was revealed early in the evening,
others were so well masked that their
most intimate friends were unable to
pick them out among the vast throng.
Many surprises were in store for them
when the masks were removed Every
one was in for good time and the
music furnished by Mrs. Berry was of
nature to make the good time sue
cess.
The dancing continued with mirth-
full and hilarious spirit until the small
hours were reigning supreme.
