"a Study in Scarlet" which is
a dramatization by Mort w. San
ford, of Sir A. Conan Doyle's
first and most popular story of
that great detective Sherlock
Homes, is announced by Mama
ger A. T. Wheelock of the City
Opera house for Thursday even
ing, Jan 5. This play is meeting
with univernal and deserved sue
cess everywhere. It is an at
traction differing from the usual
run of shows seen in this city and
one which is of the highest
dramatic standard. It is not a
"Weird" or "lurid" melodra ma,
as are the numerous "blood and
thunder" detective plays "A
Study in Scarlet" contains a ser
les Of intense clinaxes, that re-
suit from natural and interest
ing circumstances, about the life
of that great expert in the de-
duction of crime. The sale of
seats for this special engagement
of Tom Arthur's excellent pro.
duction of this play will beplaced
on sale the usual time in advance
of it's presentation.

John Sukert, Grant Valley
Farmer, Stabbed by
Jacob Weis.
INJURY is SERIOUS BUT PROB
ABLY NOT FATAL.
PerpetratOr of Crime Arrested
And Arraigned in Police
Court This Morning.

A fight which nearly resulted
in the death of John Sukert, a
farmer living in the town of
Grant Valley, took place in the
bar room of the Merchants hotel
in this city last night between
Sukert and his neighbor, Jacob
Weis.
The alteration was the result
of an enmity which has been pre-.
valent for some time between the
two men. Last fall Weis went to
North Dakota to work in the har-
vest fields and made arrange
ment with Sukert to remain on
the homestead during his ab-
sence. Upon his return he found
that Sukert had used a number
of boards which he had left upon
the place and asked that settle
ment be made for their worth.
The matter was argued between
the two men for some time and
at last Sukert settled the bill.
However, the matter created an
enmity between the men and it
was brought up for discussion
every time they met.
They both came to the city
yesterday afternoon and re-
NAMED here until evening. About
Z o'clock they met at the Mer-
chants hotel and again the old
matter was taken up. TWAS ar
gued between the two men at
length. the discussion growing
hotter each moment. Finally
Sukert could control himself no
longer and struck Weis blow in
the face with his fist. The blow
was returned and in the meelee
that followed Weis succeeded in
landing Sukert on the floor. It
is claimed by Sukert that while
he was lying on the floor Weis
pulled jack knife from his pock-
ct, opened it and stabbed him
four times.
The police were summoned and
Weis was put under arrest and
taken to the city Jail and locked
up. Sukert was taken to ply
sician, where his wounds were
examined. It was found that
four wounds had been inflicted,
two of which were serious while
the others were mere scratches.
One of the wounds was in the
left side and was apparently
aimed directly at the mans

"Great Britain, as a matter of
