Charlie Gum was on the trail, just in
time to get himself into trouble with
out helping the girl. Finally nature
comes to the rescue and the volcano
blows up at the right moment to de-
stroy the heather temple and release
the girl from the trial by fire." Then
they get back to New York and papa
ahead of the pursuing trio, and the
priest is shot in the back by coon,
who is Frank Frayne. Then everyone
is happy and goes out to get drink OF
root beer.
The excitement commences when the
black priest shoots Papa Gray. How
ever, that turns out to be only flesh
wound. Next scene the negro pots a
Carthagena citizen. but again the re-
suits are only temporary in character.
Charlie Gum and the seven silly SAIL

shooting is more effective for the seven
prison guards that he shoots are never
seen again. Their places are taken by
seven silly sailors whose fate is hard
indeed. Under just that many short
arm jabs from the hero Gum they roll
in heap upon the deck Cor is it the
bottom of the hold?) blinking like
Squires and wondering what makes the
sun shine so bright at night That
ends the slaughter for scene or two,
but Gum again gets into action in the
temple of Agab Gahr, whittier the priest

more or less will not be :-'issed thinks
Gum. and he kills until his supply Of
blanks runs out. Then he takes fare
well shot at one of the chief torturers
just before the -olcano gets busy, but
in the confusion of the earthquake the
fatalities are not recorded.

As dramatic work the play is far

The players who have the parts that
makes the play live are Hobart Bos-
worth William YoaraDce and Lillian
Abertson. Bosworth plays Fritz. He
is an entirely different type of an actor
than Lewis Stone and 1t seems odd to
watch him tramp the Bclasco boards
But that is all there is odd about him.
Boswortb handles the role as a spon-
taneous jolly. red-faced bachelor who
loves wine. friends and song-but not
women. In his climaxes Bosworth is at
his best.
Yoarance. who has the part of the
rabbi David Sichel, is the man opposed
to race suicide. He is always an artist
in everything he docs and deserves the
greatest praise for his finished makeup
and almost llfelillo portrayal of the
Jewish priest.
Lillian Albertson has her turn at do

bashful girls part and proves her ver-
satlity by making all the mon smile
every time she says. "Oh. Mr.. Kobus"'
FOR once Adele Harrington does not
wear stunning gowns. She appears In
good old country pollIadots that remind
one of an Indian reservation. But she
sings two little songs that give a hint
of her popularity when she was a comic
opera queen.
A new man on the bill is Carey Liv-
ingston: He. with a good voice and in
an insiduous, fascinating manner, charms
even though his part is small-and 1t
is no small test Of mans ability to
make a small part noticeable.

POLICE FAIL TO MAKE
MURDER CHARGE STICK

Eldifonzo Gomez, arrested by Detect
ives Talamantes and Rico some weeks ago
on suspicion of being the man who mur-
dered Cruz Rojas: January q of this year.
was discharged from custody by Justice
Rose yesterday after he had heard the
evidence introduced by the state at Co
mez' preliminary hearing.
Rojas was murdered mysteriously. He
and some other Mexicans were singing
early one Sunday morning near the house
in which Gomez lived 1t was alleged by
the police that Gomez had become in
censed at the men because his slumbers
were disturbed by their singing at 5
o'clock in the morning. Rojas was shot
in the back and the assailant escaped by
running along several fences.
The evidence introduced yesterday was
all of a circumstantial nature. Witnesses
said that Gomez had told his wife that
he was going to kill Rojas, and came
back in about five minutes saying that he
had killed him. A pistol was introduced
as evidence, which was claimed to have
been the property of Gomez. No one
could identify Gomez as the man who
did the shooting. The justice decided the
evidence was insufficient, and Gomez was
discharged.

Good News for
the Indians,

At last the dispute as to the
ownership and titles in the frac-
tional township l47 range 81 has
been settled, and the Indians can
now take land in severalty in that
township. Senator Hansbrough
had a provision inserted in the
Indian appropriation bill, provid-
ing that the Fort Berthold Indians
may take these lands in allotments
Of 80 acres each. 1t was impos-
sible to ascertain in Washington
whether there would be sufficient
lands to give each Indian 160 acres
and SO the amount was fixed at 80
acres. If it is found that this
amout can be increased. Senator
Hansbrough will have the increase
made at the next session of con-
gress.
The hearty thanks Of our people
are due Senator Hansbrough for
securing this long needed piece f
legislation.

A YanKton dispatch of the 21st
says: The Missouri river at this
point and as far up as the Cham
berlain has broken up and ia a
seething mass Of grinding, crush
ing ice. The breakup is the earli-
est recorded by the local weather
station, which dates back to 1875.
Early Sunday morning settlers on
the bottom lands were awakened y
the roar and by 7 am, Monday.
the river was clear of ice at this
point, this being attributed to the
fact that there is gorge about
twenty-five miles west at Bon
Homme island. The Vermillion
river is on Q rampage and the en-
tire bottom land near Vermillion
is flooded.
The following is taken from a
letter written the Goth at Fort Ke-
ogh: The ice has not gone out Of
the Yellowstone yet; the water is
running about 10 inches deep on
top Of the ice here. The Tongue
and the Little Missouri have gone
out but the cold weather the past
two days will retard the Yellow
stone breaking up, and if it hangs
on long enough, will freeze hard
enough to prevent any trouble for
some time.

Of the West depends upon the
ownership Of the land by individu-
ais and denounced the present
policy as opposed to that principle.
Recurring again to the secretary
of the interior Mr.. Cushman said:
ut seems to me that he is pro-
ceeding in these matters upon the
assumption that all men on, the
Western domain are dishonest un-
til the contrary is proven" and
this, he said, he knew to be untrue.
''There is no reason why the
people of the West should be
watched upon by a herd Of private
detectives. I would like to ask
the gentleman from Illinois (Mr.
Mann), who seems to think that it
is necessary to have these special
agents watching upon the men
from my state in order that they
may perpetrate no dishonest act,
who is to guarantee the honesty of
the special agent?"
Mr.. Cushman further said that
when a special agent starts out
from the office of the secretary of
the interior che is saturated before
he starts with the idea of fraud.
The very existence Of his job de-
pends upon his finding fraud, and
if he does not find fraud there the
necessity for his official existence
ceases"
AS for himself he would rather
accept the statement of the settlers
than those Of the agent who had
been appointed perhaps from ''the
suburbs Of a slaughter house in
Chicago simply thru political in
fuence to investigate the public
domain of the country
After further debate the amend
ment was adopted. st. Paul Dis

for the recent death of her hus-

where they were in any way to
blame for the unfortunate affair.
The Jahr-Eastman Mercantile
company began the erection this

It is their intention to convert the
old and new rooms into. double

to display their various lines to
the best advantage. Work will be
pushed as fast as. weather condi-

both a valuable improvement and a
great convenience to the firm. .,...
