SAM DYsART's PRANK.
Amusing Incident In a Former Missouri Lawyers Career.
MADE AN RIDBR SING IN COURT,

Powerful vOice of Religious Man TAxsx All Occupants of the Court Roam Into ConvuIsions and Cost mAm His Case-HOw g Once Promi- neat Attorney Defended Some Gshazaren.
 Sam Dygart, who recently died in Phenix. Ariz.. was well remembered at Lancaster, Mo, where he was known as an original joker and a good lawyer as well.
 Mr. Dysart was employed once to de- 3end several boys and girls who had been arrested for giggling in church. The charge was disturbing religious worahip. Elder Tice Spears was the preacher and informant He was known for his stern piety and singu- largy strong voice. After he told hia story hA sat with clasped hands wait ing 0nr the defendants attorney to be- gan on him. He didn't have long to wait Sam Dysart's cross examination was as follows:
 Brother Spears, you led the meet an' that nightT'
 %I did, sir"
 ''Xou prayedT'
 @x did. sir"
 sAnd preache67'
 ''X tried to-"
 ssAnd gungT'
 sI sung"
 'sN nat did you singg'
 ss There Is a Fountain Filled With Flood sir"
 Here Dysart pulled hymn book out Of his pocket and handed it to the wit ness. with the remark:
 Please turn to that song, Brother Spears" The witness did so.
 well, stand up and sing it now, if you please"
 "But can't sing before this sort of a crowd.n
 Brother Spears" with much appar- ent indignation), tdo understand that you refuse to furnish legitimate evil dsnce to this jury?"
 'sNo-no-bTt, you see's-
 ssYour honor" said Dysart, turning to the court, T insist that the witness ahau sing the song alluded to just as he did the night of the alleged disturb ance. It is part of our evidence and very important. The reason for it will be disclosed later on.
 "And, mind you. Brother Spears" ]" said Dysart seriously, "you must sing 1t just as you did that night If you change note you will have to go back and do it all over again"
 The witness got up and opened the book. There is a difference between singing to a congregation in sympathy with you and a crowd of court room habitues. Brother Spears was painfully conscious of the fact. Tn the old time hymns you begin in the basement and work up to the roof, then leap off from the dizzy height and finish the line in the basement. That's the way the wit ness did He had a good voice-that is, 1t was strong. 1t threatened the win dow lights.
 The crowd did not smile; they just yelled with laughter The jurymen bent double and almost rolled from their seats. The judge bit his cob pipe harder and tried to look solemn. II was no use. There were only two straight faces in the house, and one be- longed to deaf man and the other to Sam Dysart. Sam said to the jury:
 ssTf you gentlemen think you could go to one of Brother Spears meetings and behave better than you have here you may be justified in convicting these boys and girls
 The foreman asked if they could bring in verdict for the children de fendants witaout the formality of re tirfng to consider the matter.

MENSAFTERNO0N MEETING AT MI CHURCH
Magnificent Gathering At Duncan Opera House in the Evening
Growth and Magnitude ofthe Work

Yesterday was q great day for the
" NJ. 9. A. movement In Las Vegas.
Mr.. G, s. Ward addressed three big
meetings during the day. In the
morning he spoke to d large audience
In the Presbyterian church, in the af.
ternoon he addressed an interested
company of men at the NJ. Il. church,
and in the evening he made an admir-
able address on Y. M. G. A. matters
at one of the largest and most enthus-
iastic religious gatherings In the his.
tory of the city.
Al the last meeting. In the Duncan
opera house, the place was crowded
and the audience oyerfiowed into the
galleries.
AT the morning service Mr.. Ward
founded his remarks on the Scripture
passage. "Ye are My friends. He
dwelt upon the surprising and all too
rare virtue OF friendship, the funda'
mental principal Of the Christian relig
ion, and ably developed the incorpora
tion OF the principle into the Y. NJ. Q,
A. movement The social side Of the
Y. NJ. c. A. was attractiyely pictured
There was excellent special music a
the service.
At the afternoon meeting In the N
e. church Secretary Kates presided
After half hour session Of song, Mr.
Ward was called upon. He chose
Jeptha as the model Of his day, i'm

the interests were two sets Of per-
Isons, two sets Of stockholders, were,

Who and Where
Is ]. A. Adams
CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL MAN
FAILS TO PAY LIVERY AND
HOTEL BILLS.

Not SO many days ago one who gave
the name OF John A. Adams blew
into the city. He represented himself
as manager for correspondence
school headquartered in Salt Lake
City and gave out that he was seek
ing local agents and teachers rather
than pupils. It looks now as though
Adams were a smooth hombre who
pays where he goes only where be
must.
The alleged school manager hired a
team from Cooley & Miller for a
week. He said he intended to in.
stall agencies in Mora county. He
drove to Wagon Mound, where he
put up at the hotel for couple OF
days. Then he left, giving out that
he was going to Springer.
He failed to return. Also he failed
to liquidate his little bill before leav-
ing the hotel. Cooley & Miller got
word that their team was at the hotel
and yesterday sent up a man to get
it, However, they are out the ex
pense Of the trip and wouldn't object
al all to learning the whereabouts OF
Adams.
Readers of The Optic in the north.
ern part Of the territory are warned
against this smooth one. and any one
who knows Of his present abode is re-
auested to communicate with the city
police department 81 with Cooley 4
Miller.
