1.-THE MAN WITH THE HOE"
Home Company Presents Play to
Crowded House--Repeat 1t To-
morrow Night.

A large audience witnessed the
production of "The Man with the
Hoe" by the Home Dramatic COM
pany at the opera house last Satur-
day. While the play did not come
up to our expectations, there were
many pleasing, features about it, and
the company is to be commended
for their efforts. The play was
written by home talent and consid-
erlng that it was their FIRST efforts
along the line Of play writing, the
Examiner truly congratulates the
authors upon their success.
The characters were, in the main,
well sustained, but IN several in
stances there was not the force
thrown into the acting that should
have been.
The comedy parts were we'll sus-
tanned by Winn Staley and Sadie
Shupe and their specialties between
the acts were we'll received by the
audience.
The moral of the play is an excel
lent one and with the pecessaI Y
pruning, it will make a very pleas
ing melo-drama.
The company presented the play
to good audience at Paris Wednes-
day night, at which some of the
errors made here Saturday night
were rectified.
The play will be reproduced at
the opera house tomorrow night,
and the company should be en-
couraged in their efforts by good
attendance.

of men convicted of gambling shall
be "by fine not less than $500 or
imprisonment in the county Jail not

contended by the counsel for the
three prisoners, William Burgess,
John Bailey and John McHargue,
that no sentence could be imposed
under this provision of the statute
that included both fine and imprison-
ment.
The supreme coLit, however, held
that the punishment expressed IN the
statute being only the minimum
punishment provided, and the Of
fense being specifically made mis-
demeanor, any punishment might be
provided that the court saw proper,

The sentence imposed by Judge
Smith upon each of the three men
came within these limits, and was
therefore approved, the supreme
court refusing the habeas corpus
writs applied for. The sentence of
Judge. Smith was for each to pay a
fine of $3.50 and serve term OF
three months in the county Jail.

We have it upon the authority Of
no less a person than Col. w. F. Cody
better known as Buffalo Bill" that
hunting was never SO good, that big
game never was so plentiful, and that
conditions never were SO generally
satisfactory In the far west as they
are this season.
This news, it is pleasing to say, con-
firms tidings brought to this trading
post earlier in the season by other
hunters and trappers. Reported as
it is now by one of the most reliable
of our frontiersmen, it will go far
toward encouraging those who are
thinking of outfitting for the plains.
Col Cody does not report having
seen any buffalo herds between Green
river and Fort Kearney, and we take
1t from this they are grazing farther
south, owing to the early winter. He
reports smaller game plentiful every
where, however, and in the territory
remote from the trails larger game in
abundance. Il have enjoyed a good
hunt he says, "bagged some big ones,
| including one of the bears overlooked
| by President Roosevelt during his last
hunt, and | have stored away enough
deer meat to last for the winter.
Great sport out west this season, and
no mistake"
| It is regrettable that the colonel
was in too great a hurry to tell the
newspaper representatives how he
found the restless and hostile redskins.
He was close to the seat of war in
the Cheyenne country, and he must
have learned from the scattered and
scattering settlers enough to give him
a very fair understanding of the cam
paign which the Utes are making
against our regulars, but it is likely
/ that the colonel did ont care to antici-
pate his report to the government.
/ While the country beyond the Mis-
souri, is apparently somewhat unset
