convened here today, and trials OF
criminal cases have begun. The first
case on trial is that of the state vs..

property Sandvig secured a rifle and
went to the place where Mann was liv-

gun through the doorway. After some
scurrying around in the house a shot
came through the door and struck
Sandvig in the elbow. Sandvig then
jumped back and fired through the
pine board house, the undertaking eff.
feet in Mann's body. Both the shoot.
ers recovered and are having it out

Olympic Games Reproduced In Lyman II.
Howe's MovInq Pictures.

April %, 1906 was day long awaited
by at least one nation-the Greek-and
eagerly looked forward to by many others.
II was the opening day OF the Olympic
games at Athens. The theatre of action
was the vast and imposing Stadium.
built entirely OF marble one-third of a
mile in circumference. and with "a miles
OF marble seats. This imposing spectacle
will be reproduced by Lyman II. Howe in
the moving pictures at the Auditorium
Saturday afternoon and evening. Oct. 81.
The scenes open by showing members OF
the royal family bowling to the right and
left in recognition OF the cheering hosts.
All Athens seems in frenzy. Never be-
fore in the history of athletics has there
been such a sight: 20, 900 people were in
the Stadium. 10000 more were on the
hills overlooking II. and 10000 lined the
route OF the great Marathon race. 1t is
estimated that there were fully 800, 600
Grecian spectators OF IT, and IL is safe TO
predict that over a million American spec
tators will see 1t through this theatrical
season reproduced by Lyman H. Howe.

"under southern skles.Y

1.-THE best play of the season." is the
verdict of the theatregoers who filed
nearly every available seat in the Audi
torium Wednesday night and saw the
four-act comedy, Under Southern Skies. -
successfully produced by a company Of
genuine high-class actors and actresses
The scenery, representing a colonial
mansion in southern Louisiana, was mag
nificent in every detaIl. The drama is a
picture of warm, voluptous southern
life in which the comic and the serious
are pleasantly and effectively blended.
The parts were we'll interpreted through
out. Mabel Trunnelle in the role of the
winsome Leila Crofton and Harry Cole
man and w. F. Huntington as her rival
suitors, Burleigh Mavor and Steve Dau-
beny, were we'll received. The plot hinges
upon the personalities of these two low
ers. Mavor, the soul of honor and frank
ness, finally wins while Daubeny craftily
takes advantage of an evil rumor con-
corning Miss Crofton's birth and forces
her to a promise OF marriage by the threat
of exposing her father to disgrace. The
dramatic climax comes at the end OF the
third scene when In the midst of the
wedding ceremony the heroine refuses to
marry Steve and her mother suddenly ap-
pears to the utter confusion Of the would
be-husband. The colored folk were well
represented. Margaret Onase in the per-
son of the picaninny, Amer 'Lizer, was
warmly applauded. Other characters
worthy of special mention are Major Croft
ton by Herbert Prior, Stella Crofton by
Nellie Lindroth. Col. Mavor by Walter
Coupe and the two darkies, Uncle Joshua
and Aunt Doshey, drolly impersonated by
Frank Dee and Stella Congdon.
