 Louis Owen, a negro confined in the county jail here. made a desperate ef- fort for liberty late yesterday after noon. Deputy sheriff Gardner went to the jail to give the prisoners water and Owen was allowed to come out into the jail yard. He grabbed a bucket and. threw 1t at the deputy and then ran. As soon as he could get his pistol the deputy fired at the fleeing negro and brought him to the ground. Two pistol balls struck him in the leg inflicting slight wounds. He was brought back to the jail. The negro has three charges of burglary against him and has the reputation of being a desperate negro.

asIldnIght In Chinato,rn.e

A large audience greeted the Arnold Stock Company at the BiJou Theatre last night in it's presentation of Mid night in Chinatown" billed as a melo- drama, but more nearly comedy drama. and were thoroughly satisfied with the performance.
 The plot of Midnight in Chinatown" Is of the ordinary class, and 1t is all the more to the credit of the company that they gave a satisfactory presen- tation of the piece.
 Chauncey Southern, pleasantly re- membered as a member of the stock company at Pickett Springs last sum mer, handled the part of Joe Wallace, engineer and hero. in way that gave satisfaction. Mir. Southern had no op- portunity to show any dramatic ability, as there was none offered in the part.
 Jack F. Goodwin made an acceptable william with the exception of his mus tache, which was much too short.
 George Llewellyn furnished most of the fun by his clever work in tramp character and was frequently encoreG.
 Raymond Rame showed the only per- ceptible weakness in the company in his presentation of wealthy mine owner but his work was not notieeably bad among the good work of the rest of the players.
 Miss Flora Nelson and Miss Alice Bolton did well the two female parts assigned to them, though neither part was of any consequence.
 The specialties were enjoyed.

~D. JekyI and MT. Hyde.v

Elwyn Strong, in a revival of Robert Louis SteVenson's famous creation, "Dr. Jekyl and Mir. Hyde" was the hearty appreciation of an audience at the Montgomery Theatre last night over manifest obstacles. The chief of these was inferior and inadequate support and next in importance was the lack of necessary scenery.
 lover these handicaps Mir. Strong won his title to stellar honors. One fancied that with a trained, talented com- pany helping him, with adequate seem cry, Mir. Strong would have made his portrayal of the dual role a notable stage picture. As 1t was, MT. Strong gave a most vivid. realistic characteri- Zation. In short, he played the role in- telligently, and with power. This is said regardless of the fact that SO far as Montgomery is concerned, Mir. Strong was unknown and without reputation.
 Known or unknown. MT. Strong show ed that he had the talents and ability to play a most difficult role. He made the transformation roles horribly real istic. The men who loves a distinct thrill should have. by all means, Wit messed last nights performance. MT. Strong worked up blase theatre-goers to a high state of excitement. There were times in the play when the stage was worse than a bad nightmare. The man who can make a characterization stick in ones memory like Mir. Strong did last night Is true actor. He threw his audience into thrills and shudders several times.
 But. after all. it is a great and mon- strous character, this dual role of Dr. Jekyl and MT. Hyde. It is really one of the great moral plays of the past quarter of a century. It Is the strong est sermon that could be preached against the drug habit, and yet 1t is so naturally and so conXinclngly wrought that one forgets that it is a sermon. The dual nature of man, the good and the evil in him the deaden- ing effect of drugs upon the good. their awakening of the suppressed and dor mant evil, until it masters and subju- gates the better nature of d man, are all drawn with the deftness and power that made Robert Louis Stevenson so great an artist.
 All of Mir. SLrongs support was not of inferior quality. Frank A. RamsdeIl as Utterson. rendered very intelligent assistance and an excellent character sketch was done by c. W. Young playing the role of Poole. There were some other members of the cast, how ever, who went through their parts as If they were members of the village dramatic society struggling earnestly with Damon and Pythias" or East Lynne"
 Monsieur Beaucaire" will be played today at matinee and night perform ance at the Montgomery Theatre by Creston Clarke and his company.

In his statement to the court Vassar said Weaver, Gates and Good law were engaged in game for stakes when Weaver became incensed at him and put him out of the play room, later having him arrested. The Mayor instructed the arrest of the three negroes who will appear in court We'd nesday morning. Vassar was fined $10 for disorderly conduct.
 Four more hackmen were in court to answer for violations of the hack ordinance presenting stands for the "cabbies.''

 The Court will begin on the crimi- nal docket Monday. and it now ap- pears that there will be many more cases set for trial than was thought several weeks ago. The trials of sev- eral negroes charged with murder and other grave offences have been set for next week, but the cases in which the most interest centers have not been set.
