The Denver Express.

The railroad scene in this great play
is beyond doubt the most sensational and
realistic mechanical effect ever attempted
on any stage. The attempt of ellison
Payne to wreck the Denver Express,
his fight with Tommy Tucker, whom he
leaves on the track to the mercy of the
wheels while he throws open the unfiDish-
ed switch, and the appearance of Poppy
in the nick of time to throw back the
switch just as the full sized train goes
dashing BY at the rate of 40 miles an
hour, all go to work the audience into
a state of excitement seldom seen in a
theatre. This great scenic play will be at
the Opera House tonight.

When hopes were bright and fair;

At close OF day.
Like friendships ties tha' lose their hold,
We thought Ould last forever,
The wheel Of time brings many achange'

as a result of pistol shot received while
he was terrorizing the family Of George
Bindless at their home in New London

Saturday night Croker went to the
Biudless house and when the door was
opened in response to his ring, he push
ed past the servant and met Mrs. Bind
less and her daughter, Miss Stella Bind
less. Their refusal to speak to him an.
gered him, and for several hours he had
them iu a state of terror. Mrs. Bindless
tried to get TO the telephone to summon
her husband or the police, but Crocker
prevented her from doing so. Mrs
Bindless, about 4 O'Clock Yesterday
morning, went to her husbands room
and secured his revolver to protect her
self. As she came down the stairs she
saw Croker beating her daughter, and
in her nervousness the revolver, which
she had in her hand, went off. The bull
let did not strike Croker, but the shot
distracted his attention from the girl,
and he turned on Mrs. Bindless. In
struggling with her for possession Of the
weapon it was exploded again, and the
bullet entered his body, iDhicting q
wound that probably will cause his
death. Crocker left the house after a
short time and went to his bis home,
where he collaped, and later was taken
to the hospital. When he recovered
consciousness yesterday afternoon he said
that two tramps shot him. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bindless went to the police station and
