PLAYS AT THE OPERA HOUSE
Thoroughbred Tramp the Attraction
There Tonight.

There Tonight,
Among the many scenes and situa-
lions in ga Thoroughbred Tramp"
the new third act, that of the hospital
ward, Is the most effective, where in
three scenes is shown the reception
room, together with the male and fe-
male wards with the patients strewn
about. and where poison plot is con-
cocted and exposed to the full satisfac-
ton of the audience.
In the first and second acts comedy
predominates. though the dramatic sit
uations are strong and in the last act
much originality is displayed.
Buster Brown.
A very strong and popular attraction
Saturday, matinee and night, is the
great cartoon comedy, Buster Brown.
Many successful plays have been built
around imaginary characters, that have
been made popular in the funny pages
of the great daily newspapers, but none
would appear to have as much genuine
attractiveness as Blu ter Brown, whom
Richard F. Outcault created for the
New York Herald.
Laughter reigns from start to finish
and, singular to state, the numerous
''show girls" are pretty and can sing
and dance to perfection.
Moving Pictures.
Archie l.. Shepard's exhibition of
high art moving pictures, with a vast
collection of novelties, will be seen at
the opera house Monday Oct. End,
both at matinee and night performance.

TOOK HIS
OWN LIFE
Wm.E. ROBERTSON SENT A BULLET
THROUGH HIS HEART AT ANEAR-
LY HOUR THIS MORNING
DEATH RESULTED INSTANTLY
a&n
Dependency was Probably the Cause.
Was Cigarette fiend.

A tragedy occurred at an early
hour this morning at the Norris
boarding house, 5II Choctaw ave-
nue.. Wm. Elisha Robertson died
BY his own hand. He used a.Win-
chester rife and the bullet pene-
trated his heart. Death was al
most instantaneous.
The unfortunate man went out
10 seek employment early this
morning twas about 9 O'Clock
when he returned. He came into
his room where his cousin, w. L.
Robertson was sitting rea ling let
ters He said he had applied for
work to the gas company, at the
oil mill and at the electric light
plant. He had been promised
work later on. When he entered
the room he brought his gun with
him but gave no indication of the
terrible deed he was about to COM
nit. His cousin was talking to
him about getting work cutting
cord wood near Cement. Mean
time, the. man who was about to
take his own life had set the gun
down at the foot of couch and
had brought out pair Of shoes,
which he proceeded 10 exchange
for those he was wearing. Hewas
sitting on the foot Of thecouch and
had removed one of his shoes. His
cousin had continued reading the
letters and talking when he was
startled by the shot. The victim
Of his own desperation fell over at
once. He never spoke
Evidently he had removed his
shoe in order to be able to pull the
trigger Of the gun with his foor.
1t was short gun and he had no
difficulty in doing this. Mr.. Rob
ertson at once summoned physi-
clans but the man wascoliin death
long before they arrived. Officers
were also sent for. Commissioner
Payne came and held an informal
examination. 1t was SO clearly
case of suicide that after hearing
statements from all who knew any
thing about the affair he took
no further action. Ii was develop
ed that he had gone to Mrs. Small
woods house nearby for his gun
and he had emarked to her last
night 4 believe I'll kill myself
Virgil Robertson, another cousin
stated that he had a conversation
with the deceased before breakfast
and had remarked to him "Lish,
you'd better quit smoking cigar
cites, they'll kill YOU" II don
care if they do" was his reply,
I'D just as soon be dead asalive I"
Elisha had been complaining Of
the grip" and had coughed
great deal during the night. He
was an excessive cigarette smoker.
Wm Robertson come here the
latter part of last November from
Texola. AT different times he had
been employed OH the waterworks.
He came in from Cement last Sat-
urday where he had been working
on farm. Since that time he had
had no employment. He was of
melancholy temperament and this
combined with the dependency
from failure TO get work and the
effects of cigarette smoking was
doubtless the cause Of his rash act.
He was "a years Of age and un-
married His people live in Mis-
sissippi.
