 The Florida detectives effected the arr rests, but the men refused to return to Jacksonville without extradition papers.

For instance, there were fifteen Columbian half dollars, five rolls of quarter dollars containing five dollars each and marked

At the Bilou.

Across the Pacific continues to draw large crowds to the Bijou, last night audience being the largest of the week
 Next week. Jake Wells will offer at the Bijou combination of vaudeville stars headed by Henry Lee and Fife Fay, two top-liners of national repute.
 In speaking of the company, the Rich mond Times says:
 ''If a good vaudeville bill has any at- traction for Richmond theater-goers, then the Bijou should be crowded at every per formance this week.
 Charles R. Sweet. an old favorite here made a tremendous hit. His monologue was equally as good as his efforts at the piano.
 Henry Lee did most artistic work in his impersonations of great men, past and present." He made his changes in full view of the audience, and thus added interest to his performance.
 Fife Fay was at once recognized as an artist in her peculiar line She wins her audience with the work of her face, which she can twist into as many expressions as the gfs at Ice himself She Is exceed ingly clever in everything she does during her twenty minutes work
