ORPHEUM BILL
EXCELLENT ONE
Three New Acts Are
Replete With Good
Entertainment.

Three new acts are on the new bill al
the Orpheum this week, and the four
hold-overs are so freshened up with
variations that they hold the charm of
old acquaintance whose welcome is not
yet worn out. Among the new per-
formers are Foster and Foster in a
musical comedy called The Volunteer
Pianist" The volunteer is the funny
man of the team, and. coming on in
such queer guise that he looked quite
impossible, he soon astonished the peo-
pie by making stirring music come out
of the piano, which he played with
perfect ease though with his fingers
encased in ten pairs of mitts.
Another new act is that of The Great
Francelias," pair of athletic jugglers.
The man is of Herculean mold and the
woman with him made by nature ex-
pressly to mate a giant Franeelia
catches on the muscle of his right arm
a big cannon ball hurled by a sprin &
gun that goes off with a cannon-like
bang. The throw has impetus enough
to shoot the great weight clear across
the stage Then he plays with the big
ball by letting it seem to crawl along
his immense biceps and around his neck
like a live thing. The solidity of this
weighty plaything is announced to the
audience by its being dropped occasion
ally with a laundering thud.

FATALLY WOUNDS

Fight Oyer BilhLeads to
Shooting of R. Wendt
by ]. H. Diamond.
Failure to Pay Balance
of Is Gents Cause
of Tragedy.

During the rain and wind that drove
mary persons TO shelter yesterday
morning. the temper of Teamster John
II Diamond famed high as he nursed
MS wrath against Robert Wendt, a
husky carpenter. who owed Diamond a
board bill
Diamond. whose food was consumed
by his creditor in a tent. set out 10
get his bill. few dollars. He found
Wendt al "a tent near Fifteenth and
Rhode Island streets and got all but
- cents. which Wendt explained he
lacked. Diamond demanded all, his
anger warmed into glow, and he used
harsh words Some witnesses viii say
se made threats and began an assault
on Wendt. who fought back.
During the battle Diamond. who had
gone 10 the scene armed. shot his an
- Ia gonist in the right groin. and the
wound may prove fatal Wendt. who is
q. powerfully built man, was not put
out by the fact that bullet had plowed
: into his anatomy. so he seized brick
and gave Diamond good pummeling
Spectators rushed in and Policeman ].
=. s. Cook soon had Diamond under arrest
d. The wounded man was sent to the
City and County Hospital. but an ex
animation failed 10 locate the bullet.
Within a few hours an assistant Dis
frict Attorney had taken Wendts dying
statement. which was TO the effect that
he was suddenly shot by Diamond dur
ing the dispute.
At the Potrero police station Dia-
mond was somewhat reticent, but he
said he shot in self defense. though
he admitted that he went TO the place
where his victim lived, went with a
loaded revolver, which he did not long
delay using.
It is not known whether wendt is
nortally wounded. but the opinion of
the attending surgeon was that the
wound is a dangerous one and that the
chances Of recovery. are not great The
wounded man formerly lived at zoos
Powell street. where he had been
carpenter for many years. He is ~
years old. Diamond is three years his
victims junior.
In his ante mortem statement Wendt
said that Diamond accused him of
having kept a blanket of his. and said,
with an oath. Give me my bed clothes.
One. two three-I let go" The state
ment runs thus in part;
7 said, Hold on, I'll give you your
clothes He says, -. one. two three.
and I'll go TO the gallows for you He
then fred, but I do not think he hit
me"
The statement then tells how the vic
tim fought his assailant after the
shooting. The odd point is that Wendt
insists that he viii not die, but ne says
he wants the statement 10 be taken as
his dying statement if he passes away.

Possibilities OF Dry Farming.

Estimates Of the amount of land
that can be reclaimed by irrigation
vary all the way from 100000
acres up to 125.o00.000 acres, with
the weight OF authoritative opinion
decidedly favoring the lower figure.
Yet II one per cent. of the money now
being expended for irrigation works
were made available for the educa-
ton OF the people who ought to be
interested in dry farming. it is prob
able that five hundred million acres
OF land-perhaps more than that
could be reclaimed from its present
unproductive, and comparatively
worthless state just as rapidly rs
settlers, whether native born, or i'm.
migrants from foreign countries
could be taken to it.-Century.
