"CApTIAN RACKET"AT OPERA HOUSE
Presented by Home Talent and Is Wit
messed by a Large Audience.

CAPTAIN Racket was presented
at the opera house in this city last
Friday evening, and the citizens OF
Grenada who failed to see our loca
talent in this funny comedy, missed
the treat of their life. One of the
largest audiences that ever attended
an entertainment in Grenada was
present and every one went, away
with the satisfaction of knowing that
they had i'm Grenada some of the best
talent that had ever been On the
stage in our city.
The cast Of characters were fine,
not one in the entire cast could pos
sibly be improved upon, and the
writer could not possibly do either
one of them justice in trying to write
up the play. ,
Mr.. Andrew CarotherS, as Capt.
Robert Racket" "diSplayed great talent
as an actor and kept the audience ap-
plauding all through the play. How
ever, Andrewis young man who
will not be ''swelled up" on account
of the enthusiasm he created. Then
| Mr.. Will j. Jennings, as "Obidiah
Dawson, F" was as good as usual, which
is "the very best" He kept the
audience in an uproar Of laughter
! from the time he would step before
the foot lights until he would vanish
| behind the scenes however, that is
Will Jennings in everyday life.
Harry Mansfield acted the part of
Timothy Telman," has been regard
ed every since he came to Grenada
as an actor of much ability, he even
surpassed the highest expectations OF
his most intimate friends, and he
can we'll congratulate himself ON the
favorable comsment he has created in
Grenada. He was good and his
friends were all proud Of him. Neill
CarotnerS has always been mentioned
among the first when one was figur-
NO on getting up a good nome play,
but as ''Mr. Dalroy" on Friday
evening he showed up to his best ad-
vantage and was the recipient OF
much congratulations from his nu-
merous friends.
DR.. Jas. DeLoach, who played the
part Of 'Hobson," a waiter, had a
very difficult par5 TO play, yet he was
as good.. as has been seen any where,
and his uany friends were very much
amused at the success he made as a
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1907-10-12


makes Success Of everything he un
dertakeS.
Mrs. Rosa Ray is known by all play
goers in Grenada to be as good talent
as there is in the city, and she never
fails to take her part when they are
getting up a play for some worthy
cause, AS "BClarice, "the captain s
pretty wife," she was exceptionally
good. and round after round OF ap'
plause was given her when she would
appear on the stage. 1t has been
said that no one could have played
her part as she did. Mrs. Charlotte
DeLoach played the part of Mrs.
Tolman," and to say that she was
exceedingly good would be putting it
mildly indeed d, for her part was also
very difficult and all present were de-
lighted with her. Katy, mis-
chievous maid" was Miss Nan Bar
wick, she who always delights a
Grenada audience, and this time was
no exception to the rule. 1t will be a
long time before the friends OF Miss
Barwick will cease to congratulate
her on the splendid part she played
in Captain Racket. "
The specialtieS were especially
good, being given 10y Miss Nan Bar
wick, DR.. j. A. DeLoach and Mr..
Harry Mansfield. They were all
good and are to be congratulated on
the way they held the large audience
spell-bound whenever they appeared
on the stage.
Taking it as whole, Captain
Racket" was the best home-talent
ever given in Grenada,
and The Sentinel wishes tocongratu-
late each and every one who TOOK
part in the play, and assure them
that the people Of Grenada appreciate
them and their talent.

BITTEN BY A SNAKE.
Father Of Girl Immediately Applies Body
of Snake to Wound.

The little IA year old daughter of
Mr.. A. Jackson, who lives three miles
west of Oxberry in this county, was
bitten by a rattle snake few days
ago, she having tramped on the rep
tile while picking cotton. Her father,
who was near by, ran to her rescue
and as soon as he discovered what had
happened, Immediately set his foot
on the snake and decapitated him
and then split his body half in two
and applied it to the wound with
good results. Medical aid was sought
but the little girl got along nicely
and experienced scarcely no inconven-
ience from her contact with the

thoughtful indeed and his action at
this time may serve as lesson to
others who are SO unfortunate as to
be the victim of a snakes bite.

\ PRISONER ESCAPED

George King, the alleged dope
fiend and alleged thief, escaped at
a late hour Saturday afternoon from
the city jail, where he had been con-
fined for some days. King was
alone iH the jail Saturday afternoon,
the other inmates being at work on
the street. He was permitted to en-
joy the freedom of the corridor

furnished King with a large heavy
file and during the hours of the af-
teruoon, the other INN B.. t..
terIoon that he was alone in the Jail
he sawed into one of the thick bars
in the rear outer door of the jail
He then bent the bar upward and
made his escape He had evidently
been gone some time before one of
the fire boys. on entering the Jail
portion of the building, discovered
that King had made his escape. Eff
forts to locate the mar failed and
If he has gotten clear out of the city
and will stay away, his escape is
not to be regretted 1t will be a
good riddance. 1t will be remem-
berej that King is supposed to be
the man who stole a number of car
pets from a small building ia the
rear of the La Harpe Hotel, the car
pets belonging to Mrs. w. b. Les

The theft was committed two weeks
ago and King disappeared at the
time. Circumstances strongly point
ed to him as the guilty party. Ten
days ago King returned to the city
and was arrested at once.

FALcoNER's PRETTY PLACE.

Late Saturday afternoon George
n. Falconer, "Ye Boolman," opened
to the public his cosy, beautiful,
unique. yet metropolitan picture,
book and novelty shop, located at
o2O Main street. From the hour of
the opening, which was unannoubced
until late in the evening, there was
a stream of visitors pouring into
the place and all expressed admira-
liou and delight over the perfect ar
rangemeut and the peculiar attract
iveuess of the place and the variety.
completeness and newness of the
stock OF goods.
There is no question but what
Falconer's new shop Will prove i'm
mensely popular from the very start.
and prove a credit to the city.
Admirably fitted for the business
as he is, a man of many and good
tastes and a successful analyzer of
the tastes and likes of other peo-
pie. with an eye quick to see the
beautiful and an appreciation of the
things that are catchy, worthy and
popular, and with book-lovins and
picture-loving as his second nature,
The Sentinel believes that Falconer
will make his shop one Of the most
successful establishments Of its kind
in the state.

A ROTTEN BALL GAME.

About two hundred people went
out TO the fair grounds yesterday az
ternoon to witness the closing Dali
game OF the season il Grand juno

that this final contest was the rot
tenest and rankest thing in the base

Fruita and Grand Junction were
the contesting teams. The game
dragged at a snail's pace and many
people in the grand stand went 10

Prof. Taylor has received an an
pointment as eutomologist of the
Mountain Grove experiment station
of Missouri, one of the most import-
ant posts of its kind in the service.
Prof. Taylor has accepted the ap-
pointment, and within a very short
time, as soon as another entomolo-
gist can be selected for the worI,
here, he will take up his new work.
The appointment at Mountain
Grove carries an extremely hand
some salary.
The announcement of Prof. Tay-
lor's departure from this city will
be received with general regret. NOT
only among his many friends in this
city, but among the fruit growers
and farmers Of all portions of the
western slope, who have greatly ben
etitted by Prof. Taylor's splendid
work in this section of the state. He
is most successful and cousclen-
tious expert i'm and student of euto-
mology and all will realize that it
viii be no easy task to fill his place
here with an equally as competent
and satisfactory a man. He has
certainly been Of great value to the
fruit interests of the western slope.
Personally Prof Taylor Is a very
fine man and has made many, warm
personal friends throughout this sec
ton. He and his wife will be great
ly missed in local social circles.
Prof Taylor is a graduate of the
Colorado Agricultural college.
