was expected that with the appoint
ment of lunacy commission yester-
day the court would again excuse the
jury from further attendance until the
lunacy commission completed its
work. Thaw prepared for the day with
more than usual care, believing he
would be under the scrutiny of mem

The jury therupon Withdrew and
Thaw was returned to the Tombs.
Justice Fitzgerald then summoned
the lawyers to his desk and consult
ed with them several minutes, after
which he ordered adjournment of the
court until Monday morning, thereby
indicating that he expects the inqui-

brief. The commission has notified
District Attorney Jerome to appear
before it at six o'clock this evening.
The commission will organize at that
time and arrange as to future hear

The latter difficulty is by far the most
pressing. No hay is being brought to

be given by George A. Laldrum, the
'fStory Teller" at the Southern NJ.
E. church tomorrow night at eight
O'Clock, under the auspices of the
Military Institute. By attending this
entertainment Roswell people not on
ly will hear something good, well
worth the money, but can invest in
lyceum course of three numbers
that will cost them only one dollar
for the three. The second number
will be a magician, and the third will
be musicale with several perform
ers Any one of these entertainments
will cost fifty cents. Any one will be
worth a dollar. which is the price of
ticket for the three.
AS to the first entertainment, Mr.
Landrum comes highly recommended.
He does not lecture, recite, sing or
fiddle. He presents his subject matter
in an entertaining manner that makes
everyone glad they came. That is
what some of the best critics say of
him. One good thing said of him is
that he is a fine story teller, and has
lots of them.
The tickets are on sale at DanieFs
drug store, both for tomorrow nights
entertainment at fifty cents, and for
the course at one dollar.

Sapulpa, / T.. Mar. PA gas well
two miles east of here which caught
fire SATURDAY, is still surging fiercely.
After fourteen days work the well
was capped, but the great volume of
gas found another way through crew
ices. and for half a mile it spread up
on the earth. At one place a crack
three feet vide and twenty feet long
was torn. Then the escaping gas
caught fire and has been burning ev-
er since. AT one place a sneet of
flame 20 feet long and Is feet high
is blazing. Tons of rock and shale
were thrown from cracks, and the
constant trembling of the earth is
frightening the farmers and oil op-
orators in the vicinity. Great pools
of oil upon fhe creeks and in ravines
are also on fire. and there are no
signs of abatement.
