RELEASED AND REARREsTED.
Nathan Pennington Has Lively Ex'
perience at Cody.

Nathan Pennington, who was ar
rested here couple OF weeks ago
and taken back to Cody, Wyo., had
his preliminary hearing before JUS
tice of the peace. Instead of being
arraigned ON the charge OF statutory
rape, as it was said he would be, it
seems that when the Wyoming au-
thorities got him into their posses
sion a complaint was filed against
him charging perjury, said to have
been committed when he swore that
the girl who accompanied him was
of legal age and that there was no
lawful impediment to her marriage.
The complaint was found to be de-
fective and it was amended by the
prosecuting attorney. After the
amendment had been made, Penning-
toms attorney moved for the dismis-
sal of his client because the COM
plaint had been altered after it had
been sworn to. The motion was sus-
tanned and the prisoner released.
Subsequently he was re-arrested on
new warrant issued on the strength
of another complaint and his hearing
was set for a later date. Pending
examination he was released ON a
$3.50 bond

EIGHTH GRADE GRADUATES IN
sHAKEsPEAREAN COMEDY.
LARGER ONES ESSAY FARCE.
Two Exceptionally Meritorious Pro.
ductions by Pupils of the
Public Schools.

/Those VINO attended Wednesday
day nights performance at the opera
house by the pupils OF the eighth
grade not only thoroughly enjoyed
themselves, but were given a revela-
tion that surprised them. The little
folks ACQUITTED themselves in a man
ner that would have done credit to
those of maturer years, while it is not
stretching matters to say that they
did much better than many of their
elders could have done in the same
roles. Real talent and a conception
OF difficult parts nothing short OF as
ton.gning marked the progress of the
play from beginning to end.
When it is said that the ages OF
the performers ranged from twelve to
fifteen years and to this is added that
intrinsic merit was displayed in the
production of the piece attempted,
1.-The Merchant OF Venice" better
understanding may be had OF the ex-
cellence of the work done. The diff
ferent characters were correctly cos
TUNED and the comedy was staged as
carefully as though professionals held
the boards. Add to this the dignity
of bearing of the performers and the
ease of manner displayed and nothing
remained to complete the pleasure OF
| the audience, which was as large as
| the occasion merited, about every
seat in the house being occupied.
The cast follows: Shylock, Monta

SHE ALLEGES DEsERTloN.
Virginia Lewis Wants Release From
Bad Bargain.

According to the complaint she has
on file with the clerk OF the district
court, Virginia Lewis is another OF
those confiding, trustful women who,
when too late, find they have made
mistake when they listened to the
wooing of the men whose names they
bear. She demands a decree OF di-
vorce and such other equitable relief
as the court may consider her enti-
tied to.
In her bill Mrs. Lewis alleges that
she and the defendant, Fred Lewis,
were intermarried at Newcastle,
Wyo., October 2, 1898. Sometime in
March of 1895, she AYERS that with
out amy cause or reason and wholly
against her wishes and consent her
husband abandoned and deserted her.
Since then, she charges, ne has con-
tinued to remain away from her, in
total disregard of the solemnity of his
marital vows and promises, and still
continues to so absent himself.
There are no children and apparent
ly no property, as MO claim for ALI
mony or other financial relief is con
tanned in the complaint.

MADE PROMPT RESTITUTION.
Stolen Shirt Dotted in Court and Re

BY Returning the property that he
was accused of having stolen, Darius
Kennedy escaped prosecution ON the
charge of petty larceny, although he
was forced to leave the courtroom
without a short
Kennedy was before Judge Mann
Wednesday, having been arrested on
the compaimt of an employe in the
brickyard north of the city, who
charged him with the larceny OF the
shirt he had ON then. Kennedy ad-
mitted the charge, and without fur
ther remark proceeded to doff the
garment and hand it to it's owner.
This was all the latter wanted and
he asked that the charge against the
prisoner he dropped. The court ac'
quiesced and Kennedy was given two
hours in which to place himself be.

gait that promised to take him well

is ACCUSED
OF FORGERY
HARRY REED MUST FACE DIS
TRlCT COURT.
T sSSED TWO BOGUS CHECKS
One Bore Signature Of Another Man.
Second Drawn by Himself on
Mythical Deposit.

Because it was proved to the sat
isfaction of the examining magistrate,
F. L. Mann, that Harry Reed was un-
doubtedly guilty as charged, the lat
ter is confined in the county jail in
default of bonds to await the action
Of the district court. The accusation
against Reed is that he passed
couple of forged checks on which he
secured money.
Reed came to town scme time last
week and presented a check given him
by Rudolph Molt, for whom he had
been working, securing the cash from
a saloonkeeper. In few days the
money was gone and Reed returned
to the same place and offered an
other check, on which he secured $2l.
| The dispensing chemist failed to OBJ
serve that the second check bore the
signature of "Adolph Holt" until he
attempted to have it cashed at the
| tank.
| Meanwhile, it is alleged, Reed
passed third check, this time one
signed by himself with his own name
and on the strength of it obtained $25
from Mike Shea When Shea pre-
sented the check at the bank he was
| told that Reed had no money there tc
his credit. Shea and the other vic
tim,s Henry Kerr, got together and
caused the arrest of Reed.
As .betoresaid, Reed was arraigneo
in Justice. Mann's court, and being
unable to give bond in the sum OF
$780, was committed to the county
Jail.

PREDICTS GOOD SEASON.
Chicago Commission House on Beef
and Mutton Outlook.

In a letter from a Chicago commits
sion firm received here in which the
seasons outlook for the range men
is discussed, the following lang rage
is used:
"Tae prospects for q good catt.e
market after midsummer are very
very bright and we are very optimist-
ic regarding the outlook for western
stock. The free liquidation of 'beeves
still continues, and the Illinois, Wis
consin, Missouri and Nebraska feed
lots are seemingly being rapidly
cleaned out.
"The past winter has been a disas-
troms one for middle western feeders
and shippers in general. The high
price of corn and the low range OF
values has put many livestock men
out of business, and there are com
paratively few cattle being put or
feed for the summer and fall mar
kets. Indeed, traders predict tha
there will he a surprising scarcity
of native cattle during the coming
season, and we are constrained to tht
opinion that there will be health!
advance in range cattle values.
Everything points TO an extraordi
nary good market for western sheel
the coming season, as the southern
ranges have been very poor for ia
sheep from that section"

The Republican state central com

state OF Nevada. They do not admit
In as plain words as the foregoing,
simply because they do not want to
stultify themselves too much, and yet
they admit enough to make their adj
mission look like an olive branch.
I do not question the fact that the
party is exceedingly anxious to get the
boilers of 1892 back into the sheep pen,

decency will permit them to accom-
