EDITORIAL TROUBLES

Under the heading Of "Barbary
Coast Outfit" Saturdays Silver State
has this to say:
IA small and disappointed audience
greeted the Madison Square barn
stormers last night. The people who
attended last night will never go again.
The show was the least consequential
thing ever in Winnemucca. Despite
its apparent tips" from the proposed
new paper. its advertising lodges fell
flat. The conduct OF the members of
the company. both on and off the stage
was such that no self-respectlng person
should have attended the performance.
Evidently the troupe was made up Of
the disbanded Orpheum company OF
Reno who were given the rush act
by the police OF that town.
The two nights engagement played
here caused several buncoed cirizens
to write ahead to the towns where
these hobo thespians are billed to sp-
pear The show has been knocked by
them in good shape. as II should be.
Perhaps 1t did not take the editor
Of the Silver State more than a few
seconds to write the above; but he
evidently tarried too long in his
editorial sanctum after the paper had
him distributed.
A letter from Wtnnemucca states
that the above article caused constern-
alton among the members Of the Mad
ison Square Company and they waxed
exceeding wrathy.
Two of the female members OF the
company vowed vengeance and sailed
forth to the Silver State office, carry
ing in their hands impllmenis OF torture
commonly known among teamsters as
horsewhips. The editor not having
had the foresight to secrete himself
took his whipping "like a man."
