COOL-HEADED ACTOR
REMOVED BURNING SHADE

II Is not always that an audience loses
Ats presence OF mind in the face OF seem
1nS danger.
This was demonstrated at the Academy
last night, when, IN the first act, large
lamp shade caught fire and was removed
from the stage by Mr.. Dc Witt Jennings
without a movement or an exclamation
helng made by any of the spectators
that is, not until the actor had returned
10 take up the scene where he had left
off--when the audience applaudcd most
heartily. Mr. Jennings noticed that the
lamp shade was burning before the au-
dience was made aware Of the fact,
and tho cool and collected manner IN
which he went on with his lines, while
at the same time he removed the shade
and carried 1t off no doubt reassured the
audience, and prevented even the most
nervous ones from being alarmed Had
some one in the audience first discovered
he accident, cry would probably have
been raised, which might have caused
some commotion among the spectators.

EDITOR BAUGH
 STRIKES JONES.
Fight at Judsonia Between Wit ness and Attorney in Rob-

Judsonia, Sept. 27. U. J. Baugh, editor of the White County Citi- zen, assaulted Gustave Jones, one of the attorneys for the de- fense in the Roberts trial, by striking him on the head with his fist, near the Park gallery, just after court had adjourned for the day.
 Bystanders jerked Baugh to one side and Jones walked on as coolly as if nothing had occurred, remarking to his friends that he hardly felt the blows. The diff culty grew out of a colloquy be- tween Baugh and Jones while the latter was addressing the ju- ry, just before the adjournment of court, during which Baugh said to Jones, You were trying to put lies in the mouths of wit nesses in the Lightle trial, " to which remark Jones replied, You are a liar"
