The more one reads of those inter
esting stories of that great expert in
the deduction of crime, Sherlock Hol-
mes, by Sir A. Conan Doyle, the more
they realize what a wonderfully gifted
and imaginative mind that famous
author must have. Not once does he
let that great detective step out of the
characterize puzzling and intense
in which he first introduced him to
the public in his "a Study in Scarlet"
1t is around this fascinating plot that
Mort W. Sanford has constructed his
play which is meeting with enormous
success in the larger cities. Will soon
be seen at the G%ottschalk.
Prof. J. J. Cason slipped and fell

Tuesday upon consulting a physician

ture of a rib. Notwithstanding this
misfortune, the professor stayed by
his task of experimenting the band
concert on Tuesday night. His con-
dltion was noticeable when he acknow.
ledged the applause SO generously ac-
corded by the enthusiastic audience
which damned the Gottschalk on that
occasion. 1t is hoped he will soon be
fully recovered.
