der Amusement.
The Supreme Court listened yes
terday to the arguments advanced by
Judge James @. Mcguire for and by
George Wheeler against the issuance
of a permanent bljunction to restrain
NJ N. Gopcevic from assuming con-
troll oe the estate of Harry A. Floyd.
his deceased wife. The matter was
taken under advisement.

was receiving the revenue of an es-
tate valued at 500. 900 and after her

a will bequeathing the estate to Cop

Superior Court of Lake County and
asked Judge NJ. S. Sayre to turn the
property over to him. Before that re-
quest could be complied with relatives
of the deceased retained Judge Ma
guire to look out for their interests
and an application was made to the
Supreme Court to restrain Judge Sayre
from granting the application of Cop
cevic. The question of Jurisdiction of
the Lake County court will come up
before the Supreme Court to-day.
The contestants. who reside in the
East, are Mary Floyd McAdoo, Rosa
lie Humes and Isabella Matthews.

while George Webster, as a tramp

pleted an excellent cast. A crowded
house showed that it enjoyed the play.
Alcazar.
White Whittlesey, assisted by the
Alcazar stock company, gave last night
a highly creditable production Of
Hearstease." Whittlesey's interpre-
tation of the role of Eric Temple was
both intelligent and painstaking and
in his conscientious work throughout
the performance he showed himself the
clever actor that he is. He read his
lines with consummate skill and rose
TO the occasion in the impassioned
scenes with which the play abounds.
John B. Maher was well cast as Cap
tain Jack O'Hara and contributed to
the comedy of the play with his
usual ability. The return of Miss Oza
Waldrop in the part Of Alice Temple
was the signal for much applause,
showing the appreciation in which the
little actress is held. Nor was that
appreciation misplaced, for she played
with rare grace that is all her own.
Harry D. Byers was eminently salts
factory as Lord Neville. who is a king
pin of irascibility, although he amiably
helps to set things right in the last act.
Miss Marie Rawson was not happy in
the character of Miss Neville, albeit
she may improve. Adele Belgard was
admirable as Lady Neville and Luke
Conness was himself as Sir Godfrey.
Howard Scott gave a delightful imper-
sonation of Peter Padbury and again
demonstrated his versatile talent in
acting well any part that is assigned to
him. Richard Vivian and Marie Howe
were all that could be. desired in small
parts, Curtain calls were frequent and
Whittlesey's charming little speech
was not the least entertaining part Of
the production.

Notorious Dive Keeper Must An
swer for Using a Gun on
Patsy Burns.
HIS BOND IS FIXED AT 5000.
Judge Diebl Comes to the Conclusion
That Burns Was Hit and Nor
Shot, as Alleged.

Robert Bruce Johnson, the negro ac-
oused Of having assaulted Pat. y. Burns
with q deadly weapon, in a Commercial
street saloon fight a few nights ago
was held to answer to the charge In
the Third district court by City Judge
Dlehl this morning, under 5000 bonds.
In giving his decision, Judge Dehl
said that he had come to the conclusion
that the wound had not been caused by
a bullet, but by Burns having been
struck on the head with the gun. He
called attention TO the fact that there
had been a great deal OF perjury In
the testimony, but thought that the
gun had not been pointed at the com.
plainant The evidence went to show,
he said, that Burns had thrown his hat
on the bar and had threatened to strike
Johnson, and that the latter had done
all that he could to concillate Burns.
He said chat II was only unfortunate
that johnson had gun at the time OF
the trouble.
He said also that the evidence went
TO show that Johnson had struck Burns
on the head with the gun, and that, in
the statutes was defined as an assault
with a deadly weapon, and that there
was cause TO belIeev the defendant
guilty He accordingly held him to
answer, continuing the bail deposited
at the time on Johnsons arrest.
