TO PLAY HAMLET
Corbett, the Famous Pugilist,
Says He'll Star in shak~
spere's Tragedy.

James J. Corbett, the man who
plucked the laurel wreath from. the
head of the militant John L.. Sullivan,
will play Hamlet.
The former champion has taken to
the stage seriously, and IN short time
the billboards will be flashing forth
the announcement that the former
champion will enact the part of the
melancholy Dane.
Mr.. Corbett was seen at MS rooms
at the West hotel by T h j u n l,

would essay Shaksperean roles and
would compete with Richard Mansheld
and Sothern in tragedy.
Hereafter "Gentleman Jim - will not

CORONER STANDS ASIDE
Will Not Make Any Official lnvestlga
tion of Saturdays Accident.

1t is not known that any official in
vestigation will be made as to the cause
Of the accident Saturday and the re-
sponsibility for the death Of Mr.. eager.
Some think there is nice point IN

presumed that the employees of the
streetcar company were primarily re-
company be liable to the heirs of eager
if it were shown that he had escaped
from the car without serious in jury
and been run down afterward by. the
| locomotive which was trying to back
out of the Wreck2
Probably the companies will settle the
matter between themselves. At any
rate Coroner U. G. Williams will take
no hand in the affair. There will be
no inquest, he says, as he is satisfied
that the street railway company is to
blame, or rather that the employees y ylo'
lated the company's own rules regarding
their conduct at grade crossings.
The accident may stimulate the city
council into some show of activity in
order to ward off public criticism. The
conditions in Minneapolis as regards
grade crossings can hardly be dupli
Gated in any other city Of like size
in the country.
No particular advance has been made
since the Great Northern, the Mime
apolis & St. Louis and the Northern
wears ago. The two former roads a
that time practically abolished all thei
grade crossings within the city limits
, The Northern Pacific got rid of SOM
bad spots, but left some equally as dan
gerous, including the Oak street an
/ University avenue crossings in South
l east Minneapolis and the one on Centra

HOLIDAY DRUNKS
Married Men All Had Many to Pay
Their Fines.

In spite of the heavy expenditures
for Christmas presents this year there
We're six families in Minneapolis who
had enough money left over to spend
for rather expensive indulgencies.
Twenty-three men pleaded guilty in
police court this morning to charges
Of drunkenness and six Of them were
married men with families. BY some
strange providence, these were the only
ones who had enough money to pay
the remainder. of. the holiday season.
when asked by the court if they had
any good excuse for their being found
intoxicated, they all hung their heads
and declined to answer.
