The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-04-20

says the New York Evening Post
That there is an abundance of dram
attic material in the famous old allie
CORY cannot be disputed, but whether
it can be adapted successfully to the
needs of modern theatrical spectacle
is another matter. The question that
will have to be decided is whether the
Bunyan dialogue is to be used in it's
integrity, or paraphrased, or disre-
garded altogether. On all sides there
will be pitfalls. If the old form of
speech be retained. it will be difficult
to find actors capable of uttering it,
and if it be patched with new phrases
the new blend is likely to be curious.
But, after all, it is easy to see what
prompted the enterprise. The marvel
is that it has not been undertaken be-
fore. Since the universal hit made by
"Everyman," the. whole theatrical
world has been searching for another
miracle play of the same sort, or
something akin to it. The trimphs of
Edith Matthison would not permit
other actresses to sleep. 1t is Hen
rietta Crosman who has hit upon Bun
vans masterpiece of religious inspira-
ton. She herself, of course, will play
Christian, and doubtless she has GER
tain qualifications for the part-such
as figure not pre-eminently feminine,
a good voice and delivery, and an ex-
pressive countenance, but there is a
vast difference between such pretty
fellows as Ganymede or Sweet Nell of
Old Drury and the sorely bestead
protagonist of the Progress"
indeed, the whole story is to be played
in the spirit of Jack the Giant Killer,
with comic giants and dragons and a
conventional transformation scene.
But the presumption is that the pro-
duction is to be serious artistic I'M
dertaking, and. in this case, it will
be attended by many difficulties. For
one thing, Miss Crossman must dis
guise her sex thoroughly or run the
risk of failure. Christian, from first
to last, is essentially male character,
whereas Everyman is epicene, typical
or humanity in general. Ii the latter
had not been impersonated by an
actress SO peculiarly well fitted for
the task, 1t may be doubted whether
the ancient mystery would have prov
ed extraordinarily popular. 1t was
Miss Matthison's spiritual grasp of
the character, combined with her love.
ly dictOn and attractive presence,
that made Everyman the rage, and
stirred the wOrn-Out volputuaries of
the theater with new sensation. To
create an equal, or similar effect,
Christian must be something more
than charming comedian in mas
querade, or prince Of fairy romance.

FULLER LEFT TWO WIVES.
Two Women Claim the Estate Of Re-
Gently Deceased Ward
County Resident.

When the matter of the settlement
of the estate OF the late Fred Fuller,
a well-known Ward county farmer,
who passed away at the county hos
pital in Minot a few months ago; was
taken up before Judge Nehemiah
Davis in probate court at 10 O'Clock
this morning, two women. through
their lawyers, appeared in court for
the purpose of claiming the estate,
which is valued at $780, Owing to
the on-appearance OF Mrs. Fred Full
Ter of this county. the case was con-
tinued until Thursday.
At the time of Fuller's demise Pub
lie Administrator ]. ]. Coyle, of Minot,
proceeded to have the estate settled
as soon as possible. At that time the
Mrs. Fuller, whom the deceased had
married about four years ago and who
was living with him at the time of
his death, was thu only legal claimant
to the estate. so far as the local
authorities were cognizant The Mrs.
Fuller who lived on the Fuller farm
south of the city employed lawyer
and started the necessary proceedings
for the purpose OF settling up the es-
tate.
A short time following Fuller's
death, word was received in this city
from Omaha, Neb.. to the effect that
woman by the name of Mrs. Louise
Fuller of that city claimed to be the
lawful wife of Fred Fuller and she
employed the services of States At
torney G. A. MCGEE to look after her
interests.
Last Saturday deposition was TAX
en- at Omaha. Neb., for use in the pro-
bate proceedings. According to the
testimony of Mrs. Fuller No. u, she
was married to the late Fred Fuller
about twenty years ago. At that time
Fuller was prosperous saloonkeeper
in the city OF Omaha. To this union a
girl named Elizabeth. now seventeen
years old, was born. Fuller, accord
ing to the testimony ELECTED at the
time the deposition was taken, left his
Omaha family about eight years ago.
Since that time he remained separ-
ated from his family, although no
steps were ever taken by either Fuller
or his wife to secure divorce.
Mrs. Fuller No. was married to
the alleged deceased bigamist about
four years ago and lived with him up
to the time of his death. Fuller in
formed his second wife that he had
been married once, but that he had
secured divorce. To several of his
acquaintances he had stated that his
wife was dead and that his daughter
was living with relatives in Nebraska.

TRAINING BUFFFALOES.
Mr.. Baynes Meets Difficulties in
Experiments with Bison Calves.

The domestication of the buffalo has
its exciting moments. as Ernest Harold
Baynes. the secretary of the American
Bison Sociey. discovered when he at
tempted it, One of the reasons which
Mr.. Baynes advances why the buffalo
should be preserved is it's usefulness
Not only is the animal source of
excellent meat and of articles of
raiment, but he believes that it would
make desirable beast of burden
Before engaging in the organization OF
the society he undertook to demon
strate this himself, He determined
not only to train buffaloes as draft
animals. but to secure a series of pho
tographs illustrating the process The
calves on which the experiment was
made we're secured from the fine
herd on the Corbin estate. which is
only few miles from Mr. Baynes's
home in New Hampshire.
One of the things that Mr. Baynes
discovered early was that buffalo
Mothers. much like other four footed
mothers, dislike any interference with
their offspring. Mr.. Baynes proposed
to photograph the calves. which were
to be- the subjects of the experiment,
just after they were born. The pic
ture most distinctly photographed up
on his retina when he attempted to
secure: his photographs was the image
of a great body charging toward him
with head down and stubby tail aloft,
twitching with excitement. The cam
era was smashed.
The transfer of the four calves from
the COrbin estate to Meriden, Mr..
Bayne's home. fifteen miles over the
mountains, was productive of series
Of butting contests. The calves were
to be transported in crates. two in
each. The first match was with the
men engaged in Grating them. Each
man in turn was bowled over by the
young but energetic things before they
were enclosed between the Stats of
the crates. The second contest was
between. the two occupants of each
crate. AS soon as the second calf had
been put In. the two fell to butting
each other energetically. The calves
reached Mr.. Bayne's home at nine
O'Clock at night The crates were
opened by lantern light in a barn in

builts. The calves shot out as IL fired
from asgun and Immediately began

the pen and their neighbors from the
