Because J. c. Pratt, foreman of n

that the Italian gang was entitled tc
transportation TO Chicago free o..
charge, the Italians advocated an idea
that capital punishment might be good
for him. An assault was made upon
him but he got away and sent for the
police. Two Italians, Joe Scow and
Mike Deneas, appeared before Magis-
trate Olson charged with assault
They explained things as they saw
them. According to their stories they
had paid S. in Chicago for the privi-
lege of being permitted TO work for
the Rock Island road at this point.
Then they had paid other minor fees.
They were to get free transportation
TO Chicago whenever they were dis
charged. They were discharged We'd
nesday night. On claiming their pass
es to the Windy City they were met
coldly. They soon warmed things up.
The case was finally dismissed on pay

ALPHoNsE AND GAsToN.
Attraction at the Opera House Toni. Int
 Highly Spoken Of.

When Cartoonist F. Opper two years ago first produced in the hu- mOrous pages of one of the largest New York daily papers, his pictures of extravagant gesture in a vein of rich humor. which he named Alphonse and aston, little did he anticipate they would have the success which has followed them; neither die he antici- pate they would become so popular or were Of such interest that they would be drawn on for purposes of theatrical use. The success of these caricatures led to keen competition among theat- rical managers who saw the possibIl- ities in them for a play, and the D. l.. Lester Company won the competition and secured the exclusive rights of dramatization. This firm engaged Frank Tannehill, the author of many farces, to compile the series of pic lures into a musical farce and they employed the best known song writ CTS, namely Ben M. Jerome and Harry Fon Tilzer to supply the music The result of this combination is the pro- duction of one of the most successful farces in years past, designed as an attraction for the best class of theater patrons. who have enjoyed it and eH- dorsed it wherever it has been pre-. senteu. "Alphonse and Gaston" will be seen at the Bisbee opera house to- night. It will be interpreted by q first-class company. The scenery con- prises handsome sets and the cos tunes are elaborate. The company is headed by Bobby Mathews as Al phonse and Herbert Ashley as Gaston. and they have won great praise for their clever work in these roles.
