aAt Cripple Oreels.n

"At Cripple Creek" is no better nor worse than its name implies. It is of that class of drama that thrills impress sionable persons As a thriller 1t is a success and Hal Reid wrote 1t to thrill.
 The audience that saw the enter tainment at the Montgomery Theatre last night was not disappointed. Fre- quent outbursts of applause and repeat ed curtain calls indicated that the audi ence liked 1t immensely. Indeed that part of the audience sitting nearest the roof was vociferous in its enthusiasm.
 The special scenery disclosed by the four acts showed the highly idealistic western country of half century ago when 1t was popularly supposed that every one met was ready to draw a revolver and salute and when if was popularly supposed that all the women there either had uncomfortable pasts or were out of their proper environ ment. For this sort of thing the scenic appurtenances were appropriate.
 The leading heroic part was capably handled by Clinton Lloyd, young man of fine presence and splendidly modu- lated voice. He made Joe Mayfield convincing at times even to the skepti- cal ones of the audience.
 Collin Varrey. an oldtime actor. filled avery requirement. as Manuel Alvarez, the greaser one of the numerous bad, bad men" of the play. Mfr. Varrey was expected to be more than good and he sustained his reputation.
 Chief interest centered in Baby Dorothy. as In all children of the stage. This child was more than a little darl- ing. She is the youngest and the best child actress seen on the local stage thls season. Barely 5 years old, she speaks fully one hundred lines in the entertainment and several times held the stage alone. This is not always done acceptably by grown-ups, but this baby showed a precocious understand ing of her work and won hearty ap- plause by her every appearance Her voice filled the theatre and her action was artistic.
 The execution of the other members of the company was studied and incf- fective. but the audience overlooked

WIDOW TO TESTIFY
MRS. YOUNG EXPECTED TO GIVE
 EVIDENCE.
EounmeE for the Defense Declines to AAa the Prosecution in Conduct ing . Search for J. Morgan
 smith. Missing Witness.

New York. Nov. 22.--Search for a nnfsainx witness, who formerly has sEuded the detectives of the district nttorneys, officers. and the possibility that one of the central figures in the ease-the dead mans widow-would appear before the jury and tell her story, were the points of special inter est today when the trial of Nan Pat terBon. for the alleged murder Of Cae- gar Young. was resumed.
 Tn outlining his case yesterday. As- distant District Attorney Rand inform sd the jury that the prosecution after months of endeayor had been unsuc- eeSgeul in locating J. Morgan smith rrao. 10 claimed, purchased the revolver ertth which Young was killed He anpes however. that Smith would be brought forward by the defense at the proper time
 LaSSr in the day Miss PattersopIs counsel, xIr. Levy, said the defense had no intention of producing Smith
 ''If the prosecution want Smith as witness they have got to find him :. We're having our own trouble with the defense and are not going out of our way to help the people to supply the rents in theIr fabric of. evidence"
 Mir. Levy said he did not know where Smith and his. wife were nor would he take the trouble to discover their whereabouts.
 Following the announcement, it was said the District Attorneys office re- aewed its search for the missing wit aess with the hope of locating and com pafIinE him to appear in court before t Is too late.
 Only the announcement that the de gendant herself would go on the stand and tell of her acquaintance with Young could have created more public interest than the report that the dead bookrnaker's widow might appear ir Inc case Since the day her husband lied. Mrs. Young has remained in se- siusfon, except when she called at the District Attorneys office and testified sefore the grand jury. During the trial she has not appeared in the court room. but 1t is said she has followed alI the proceedings from an adjoining room,
 A big crowd was present In the court room when the trial was resumed Among the spectators sat Milton W aazelton of oneonta, one of the mer who claims to have seen Young fire .he shot which caused his death.
 Several police officers were called so the stand in rapid succession and examined briefly regarding happenings h the police station when Mrs. Patter' son was brought there under arrest.
 Captain Sweeny. who was in charge sf the station house at the time identi' fed the revolver, which, he said, was ound in Youngs pocket and which ae subsequently, turned over to Assist mt District Attorney Garvan with tho shree loaded cartridges and the ex' sloded shell. Mrs. Patterson, he said loid him the story of the ride dowr town and declared that she had no geen the shooting. She denied that sh, aad any words with Young and said inc had picked up the revolver which els from Young's hand when he fired me fatal shot and then placed 1t in hi: pocket.

William Stemm, Jr., the young man who directed Michael, the cab driver. to the hospital, proved to be the star witness of the day. He was standing on the corner of West Broadway and York Street. and heard the revolver shot just after the cab had passed him. He was startled and looked up the street quickly trying to locate the spot from which the shot was fired. There was no one on the opposite side of the street and he concluded that the shot must have been fired In the cab, which was about twelve feet away and nov ing rather slowly.
 As the cab swung around to the drug store, he followed and saw the driver talking with the druggist. Tn the cab he saw a man and woman, the man ly- ing with his head in the woman's Iap.
 The driver seemed to be all tangled up said stemm. and I rode on the step of the cab to the hospital. When we reached the hospital I helped a po- liceman to carry the man in and then helped the woman to alight. She was frightened and pale but looked as if she wanted to cry but could not"
 In reply to questions by Mir. Levy the witness said that about eight or nine minutes elapsed from the time he heard the shot until the cab reached the drug store. Traffic both ways pre- vented the cab getting there sooner.
 Mir. Levy had one of the jurors hold watch while the witness estimated one minute of time, marking the be- ginning and ending by clappinR his hands. The jurors watch showed that only six seconds elapsed between the two handclaps. Stemm said there were several men around the cab as it stood near the drug store, but he could not recall seeing a red-haired young man referred to by Mir. Levy. Ho first told of his connection with the tragedy the following Saturday. He had heard that the police were looking for him as a witness and voluntarily surrendered himself.
 The human skeletons which fre- quently have been mentioned In con nection with the case. made their first appearance In the court room when Coroners Physician Philip F. O'Han- lon was called to the stand. Dr O'Hanlon testified that he performed the autopsy on Young's body and said that death was caused by hemorrhage of the left lung. resulting from a shot wound. The bullet had entered fine left shoulder and passed downward to- ward the centre of the body, lodging in the muscles of the back. A probe was inserted in the skeleton to show the course taken by the bullet and both the skeleton and a bullet which the witness idehtiied as one taken from Young's body were marked as exhibits.
 While the skeleton was being exhib- ited Mss Patterson turned deathIv white and called for a glass of water !. It was feared that she was going to faint but she soon gained control of herself. VI
 Court adjourned until 1OsO o'clock tomorrow morning.

Ritter, of this place. has just completed
the collection Of a number If Indian
relics found in the fields adJCi.ing this

Historians have said that Macungie-

a tribe Of warlike redskins. With this
information in hand, Mr.. Ritter. among
others, began to explore the fields near
by and soon found evidences OF the saw

marks. il is believed that opposing
tribes once fought a battle on this
ground
Included in Mr.. Ritter's collection is A
tomahawk, which was found many
years ago on the battlefield OF Tippeee-
noe. Indiana.
In a few fields east of Macungie are a
number of conical pits or excavations OF

has won a victory IN the State supreme
court
Judge Clancy's decision in the injunc-
ton suit of John McGlnnis against the

record the Amalgamateo Copper Com
pany is neither trust nor a monopoly.
that under the laws of Montana one
corporation may hold, just as an indI-
vidual, stock in other corporations. and
that this is not against public policy.
The recent measure giving corpora
lions the right 20 acquire stock in other
companies Is upheld.
The Boston and Montana dividends
will be released by the decision. provid
ing no rehearing is granted. One will
undoubtedly be asked.
