From Clyde Fitch's scrapbook.

Clyde Fitch, at dinner that he
gave in honor of noted dramatic
critic, read from his library of scrap
books western criticism on Hamlet
The criticism, which was dated 1873,
ran:
There is too much Ginning in this
piece. The author is behind the times.
and seems to forget that what we
want nowadays is hair raising situa-
tons and detectives.
I'm the hands of a skillful play
wright detective would have been
put upon the track of Hamlets uncle,
and the old man would have been
hunted down in a manner that would
have lifted the audience out of their
cowhides.
"The moral of the piece is not good.
The scene where Hamlet sasses his
mother is bad example to the rising
generation.
Our advice to the author Is more
action, more love-making, and plenty
of specialties. The crazy girl scene
should be cut out altogether and rat
Ting good song and dance substitut.

Terry THAT MAY BE A
MURDER.
ECCENTRIC OLD GERMAN
First Supposed to He Suicide, But as
$1,7oo Is Missing, investigation Is
On.
Was Metz1er Killed?

The mysterious disappearance OF
$1,000 known to have been secreted
In the home of Fred Metzger, an &C.
centric old German, who was first re-
ported to have committed suicide, has
now led all who have investigated the
case to believe the man was murdered
for his money.
Mrs. Charles Dufrain, who lives
near his farm home, heard one or more
shots on the night of September 9.
She paid no attention to them, as she
knew MetZger TO be such an eccentric
fellow that he was apt to do almost
anything and had often fired shots
about his place at night.
The next morning DR.. VI. Porter, dep
uty sheriff, called at MetZger's home
on business and could not enter the
house. Summoning a neighbor, they
broke In and found Metzger sitting
On a sofa, with revolver clasped In
his hand and bullet hole behind his
left ear. One chamber of the revolver
was empty. His body was cold.
Suicide was generally accepted as
the cause of death until at the inquest
the little iron box in which he was
known to have kept the s1,700 was
opened and found empty. About $50
was found on his person. II Is said
that he had nearly the whole of his
$1,700 in his house just before his
death. The money was from business
deal which he settled up in Chicago
last Memorial day and he had repeat
eddy shown it to people.
The theory is advanced that some
one knowing of the presence of the
money in the house attacked the old
man, who defended himself with re-
volver and was shot by the burglar.
The coroner's jury has heard testi-
mony several times and adjourned
each time in the hope of clearing up
the mystery of the disappearance of
the 81 700.
