Henry c. 5oIInnan and Gus Van de
Gorbort Engage in Shooting ARRAY
Because Of Barking Doa-NeIther
Is Seriously Hurt

A duel on the Burbank road between
an old farmer and an excited youth
Sunday night resulted yesterday in the
arrest Of Henry G. Bollman and the
detention of Gus Van de Gorbort at the
Burbank hospital.
Bollman came to Los Angeles early
yesterday morning and complained at
the district attorneys office that he had
been in danger of his life through the
caprice Of bad boy.
According to Bollman's story Van de
Gorbort, the youth, was riding past the
Bollman home Sunday evening when
Bollmans dog barked at the horse and
the boy struck the dog with a. heavy
riding whip.
An argument ensued and Bollman
alleges Gorbort drew a revolver and
fired three shots at him. None of the
shots were effective, and the old man
went to his house, secured a shotgun
and returning fired in general direc-
tion at the horse and boy.
After filing his complaint Bollman
was directed to the office of justice
of the peace, and swore out warrant
for the arrest of the lad.
Constable Cline telephoned to the
authorities at Burbank to hold the
youth until he could be arrested and
received an answer that the boy had
already sworn out a warrant for the
arrest Of Bollman.
Bollman was arrested upon this in
formation and sent to Jail until his
friends furnish bond for him.
Van de Gorbort is at the Burbank
hospital under the care of surgeons. 1t
Is said that half a dozen of the shotgun
pellets struck him in the face, inflicting
painful injuries.

lReE MINISTER TO RETURN
forts Are Being Made to Have Rev.
w. 3. Bell Reinstated by Meth
odist Conference

Friends and former parishioners of
lev. w. B. Bell are urging his return
nd reinstatement in the South Main
treet Methodist church, which he left
sveral months ago. Until recently
othing was heard from him, but it has
Deen learned that he has been at the
home of his parents in the northern
part Of the state.
Z At an official board meeting of the
church last evening the subject was
discussed for over an hour, finally being
left to the presiding elder, who now
holds the credentials of Rev. Mr.. Bell.
Mrs. Bell has not heard from her hus-
band since his disappearance, but says
she has forgiven him and believes he is
suffering from overwork and nervous
strain. She also says that the statement
that Mr.. Bell left her penniless Is not
true. She is at present ministering to
humanity at the Door of Hope, East
Los Angeles.
1t is not known what action will be
taken at the conference which convenes
Wednesday. DR.. Mcintyre, pastor of
the First Methodist church, has written
Rev. Mr.. Bell, urging him to return.
Presiding Elder Atkinson, within
whose jurisdiction Mr.. Bells church
was located, says that great deal will
depend upon Rev. Mr.. Bells statement
whether he is readn1itted into the con-
feience.
Rev. P. H. Bodkin says that if Rev.
MI Bell becomes reconciled with his
wife and wishes to resume active min
ist,y it may be made possible by the
conference.

.LACKAYE IN Pit
QUOTED At PAR
NORRIS DRAMATIZED NOVEL
AT THE MASON
Scenes on Board Of Trade NolsIIy
Reallstlc-Mlss Jane Oaker Gives
Excellent Interpretation
Of Role

To use a phrase in keeping with the
atmosphere Of the play, Wilton Lackaye
in William A. Brady's production Of
"The Pit" may be quoted at par. The
play is not the thing in this case,
but 1t lives very effectively upon it's
atmosphere and the constant interpola-
ton of irrelevant business, the latter
alone giving 1t high rank as a contin-
uous vaudeville.
In company Wilton Lackaye and his
leading woman, Miss Jane Oaker, stand
prominent. The others fit very we'll
into the picture and there are a few
worth special mention, but no surprises.
Mr.. Lackaye Is excellent as Curtis Jad-
win. His vitality and the impression
of tremendous strength of reserve
power which he is able to convey across
the footlights makes him one of a thou
sand for the place of Frank Norris
hero. His methods are strikingly indi-
vidual and his art Is carefully wrought
out and strikes true. He Is quiet and
1t shows. Both he and Miss Oaker,
in speaking their lines, adopt the "con-
versational tone which has lately be-
come SO popular with players. They
strive for the "easy, effective natural
ness of movement and voice." and they
are immensely successful with it.
Mr.. Lackaye is one of the best ac-
tors that the Mason has presented for
over a year and he alone makes 1.-THE
PITT worth seeing. Miss Oaker also
deserves praise almost as high. Her
charm, besides being one of mere per-
sonality, is distinguished by artistic
instincts which add invaluable grace
to role.
The play has in it much of the sudden
blanching of the cheek of the unfortu-
nate stock gambler, who has had the
bad fortune to be playing against the
hero of the story, the muffled revolver
shot-"off left'-the my God, he has
killed himself" and measure of 'pent
up emotion for which love Is respon-
sibIe, and the other marks of an "at-
nospheric" drama.
The story is told in the third act
and In reality no more than that is
necessary. The scene of the wheat pit,
a novelty In theatrical affairs. made the
expected hit with the Mason first
nighters and was noisily realistic.
Walter Pennington, A. H. Stuart,
Hale Hamilton and Miss Buelah Wat
son were especially noticeable for the
excellence of their work. The following
notes taken from the program presented
a feature of special interest to the
feminine theatergoer:

TYRANNY OF TEARS MAKES
GREAT HIT AT BELASCO

The circus had no appreciable effect
on the attendance at the Belasco
theater last night, for the house was
crowded with an enthusiastic gather
ing that applauded the many fine and
telling points of Haddon Chambers
comedy, 1.-The Tyranny of Tears"
The Belasco company is particularly
proficient in the presentation of light,
sparkling, effervescent pieces of the sort
that THE Tyranny of Tears" is such a
splendid specimen, and last night the
players seemed to be keyed up to point
where they gave one of the most
finished and delightful performances
they have ever offered to their aud
fences.
THE Tyranny of Tears" has to do
with a young husband and wife and
pert little busnesslike private secretary
to the husband-a literary fell
low who talks throughout the play as
though he had either been a great
author or had about made up his mind
to be one. Anyway, he had great need
of Just such smart little woman as
his private secretary. The early part
of the play disclosed the husband as an
easy going sort of man, who relin-
ouished his friends, severed his club as
sociations and generally gave evidences
of a weak nature, simply because his
wife had the habit of opposing his
wishes, and she invariably won her
point by flow Of salty weeps that were
ludicrous from the viewpoint of the
audience, while they were anything but
this to the husband.
But when the wife discovered the
little secretary talking to the portrait
of the husband and saw her give the
carbon print a gentle little friendly
mind, it was a very, very friendly
ocsulatory affair-the big point in the
play was reached and the wife's tears
were pitted against the common sense
of the private secretary, backed up by
the great need of the husband cut free
from the tyrannical lachrymal ducts.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-26

OF course the wife had to go back to
her father. who really didn't want her
a little bit, for she was a living re-
minder of her late mother. who had
possessed very much the same traits
that were so prominent in the makeup
Of the daughter.
But in the end everything was
Strengthened out to the intense salts
faction of veryone-including the large
audience, who voted "The Tyranny of
Tears" one Of the most amusing and
downright diverting plays that has ever
been given at the Belasco.
1t is rather hard to say just which
Belascoite scored the most substantial
hit, as each Of the players concerned
was enormously successful, but the
chief honors undoubtedly belong to
Juliet Crosby and Richard Vivian, with
Galbraith and Bertha Blanchard close
seconds, while that brilliant actor,
Howard Scott, again proved his splen-
did capabilities as a character player
of fine attainments. Miss Crosby gave
beautifully subtle and finished inter-
probation Of the part Of the private Sec
retary. She secured her points almost
without the slightest effort, while there
were much force and authority in her
scene with the wife when she discovers
the secretary saying nice, pleasant
things to the picture of the husband.
Richard Vivian really surprised even
aware of his talents by the excellence
of his portrayal of the role of Cunning.
Leading Man Galbraith, with his hair
powdered on the sides to give a literary
touch to his make up, was Galbraith
most of the time-which evidently isn't
just what Author Chambers had in
mind when he wrote the part. How
ever, the Belasco's leading man was a
fine appearing chap throughout the four
acts of "The Tyranny of Tears" and
even if he did evidence a fondpess for
sing-songy articulation at times the
feminine portion of the audience for
gave it-perhaps on account of that
added touch of gray to the temples.
Bertha Blanchard as the weepy wife
used the rich tones of her admirable
voice to splendid advantage last night,
and her Mrs. Parbury was easily the
best thing she has done since she
Joined the Belasco company.

In an attempt to reach the controller

J. R. Watson, the operator. made q

AS the slowly moving cage broke

other leg from being mangled and the
bones fractured. With one cry of
agony, Watson brought the elevator to

When he reached the first floor he was
barely conscious enough to stop the

According to Watson's story, he be-
came thirsty and left the cage for an
instant to get drink of water. When
his attention was next called to the
elevator 1t was slowly ascending.
Clerks in the store who had heard
his frantic cries lifted him from the
cage and had him removed to the re-

it is deemed probable that one, If not
