$4,000 required for my departure di-

Captain Berger, Salt Lake.
Want my question answered How
much assistance does Cohen need to
rush band home by Sierra? Reply
paid. CARTER
Up to last evening no reply had been
received from Captain Berger.
The $1,000 estimate given by Cohen
is considered much too high, in view
of the fact that there are supposed to
be but forty-four people with the band
Counting s11OO for steamer passage and
$500 for railroad fares to San Fran
cisco and $3.50 for four or five days
stay in San Francisco awaiting a
steamer, the sum of $1,000 is thought to
be sufficient at the outside.
DELAYED BY WRECK.
The misfortunes of the band appear
to multiply according to letters re-
ceived from that organization. One
received yesterday was dated from Salt
Lake, where the band had just ar
rived. The writer stated that the band
was to have played at Provo, Utah,
oh nf
A matinee and an evening performance
had been arranged for and both houses
were sold out. The matinee receipts
tota!ed about $500. But when within a
few hours of Provo en- route from
Grand Junction, there was a wreck,
whether of the train on which the band
was travelling, or one in advance, the
writer does not state AT any rate,
the band did not reach Provo until
night. and the matinee receipts were
lost The writer stated that the band
expected 70 leave for Los Angeles on
November 9. According to Cohen's ca.
BILE received yesterday, the band is still
in Salt Lake.
TO SUE ON BOND.
When the band left Honolulu bond
of $4,000 was furnished by the United
States Fidelity and Surety Company,
through the Henry Waterhouse Trust
Company, to ensure the safe return of
the instruments. The band instru-
ments are the property of the United
States War Department and were loan
ed through Col. Jones, commanding the
IEN1,1
and his sureties for the tour. The
agreement in the bond was that the
tour should terminate on September 80
and the instruments be returned here.
Attorney General Peters states tnat
the bond matter has now been brought
to his attention and demand has been
made on Joel c. Cohen and the Fidelity
Company for the return of the in
struments. In fact, a demand letter /
from Col. Jones to the Fidelity Com
pany was sent to the Henry Water
house Trust Company on Monday even

)artmenr of the trust company visited
