.F|RETRAP THEATER HAS
NIGHT WITHOUT A RIOT
Audience of Men Witness
Touchdown Insult to
the Irish People
MANY POLICE THERE
Women Keep Away From
the House in Fear OF
Impact of Eggs

In spite Of the protest made Monday
night by a committee composed of rep
resentatives of the various Irish socie-
ties in this city, at Sam Davis
notorious firetrap theater against
the characterization of an Irish
washerwoman in the cast of the
Belle of Avenue A., the perform
ance was unchanged last night and the
protested features were not removed.
There was no rioting and the large au-
dience of men who had come to the the
ater hoping to witness something not
on the bill suffered distinct disap-
pointment. There was nothing doing
Even when Mrs. McCloskey drank her
glass of beer, in act one, there was no
sign of trouble, though the house was
stiIled. The expected hiss did not ma
terialize.
In the second act, where Mrs. Nc
Closkey discovers a bottle labeled
cold tea but which really contains,
according TO the exigencies of the plot.
undiluted whisky, and partakes OF the
sane. there was the suggestion OF
trouble. hiss brought the police who
lined the room to attention. but as
nothing further developed from the
scene, the kissing died out In former
productions this act, as performed by
Dillon, was made the occasion of a
drunken stunt" in which Dillon
dressed as an Irish woman, went
through antics which of themselves in
dicated the real nature of the contents
of the bottle labeled ''cold tea" Last
night this was withdrawn. Mrs. Nc
Closkey, played by Mrs. Pitkin, did not
get drunk and the Kissing was as
Elusive as the programmed jag.
1t is evident that Manager Davis was
cautious. He did not dare take a
chance with the ire of the sons OF
Erin again. Once monday night was
enough for him.
The proprietor of the firetrap went
again yesterday TO Chief Dinan and
asked for a special force of patrolmen
to protect him in his libeling of the
Irish race. Dinan refused to send a
force; but somehow the force was on
hand just the same. How they got
there no one not even Dinan nor Da-
Wis, seemed to know, but they were
there about a dozen strong. They came
from the Bush-street station at 1880
o'colck and remained throughout the
performance. But they were not need
ed. There was no disturbance and the
play went through, Mrs. McCloskey
and all, without break save in the
second act, when Mrs. McCloskey
drank the cold tea"
There were few women in the audi
ence. Mrs. Jewels experience of the
night before. when her expensive gown
was ruined by spent egg" was suf-
ficient to deter many of the fair sex
from witnessing the show.

Possible Impeachment Of
Hebbard to Be Considered
by Local Bar Association

The Bar Association will meet on
Friday night, and it is admitted by
w. b. Cope, one of the officers, that
the case of Superior Judge Hebbard
will come up for a discussion, with a
possibility of the association institut-
ing impeachment proceedings against
the disgraced jurist. Cope said last
evening:
THE only way in which this matter
can come before the Bar Association is
for some reputable person to make
charges, or for the actions of the Judge
to be such that they are notoriously at
variance with judicial dignity. AS the
position he holds is Elective and held
under the constitution of the State, the
only act of removal which could be in
stituted would be impeachment pro-
ceedings before the state Legislature.
cannot say If this will be resorted to
by the association. 1t depends upon
what takes place on Friday night"

assailant This occurred in the busy
lobby and the oaths of the court
rang loud in the corridors.
This outrage decided the marriage
nlent to act at once, and clerks went TO
Hebbard's room and took all his effects,
including his pistol, to the office and
ordered the man out of the place. Heb
bard cursed the hotel and under force
departed for the hospital.
At the Clara Barton Hospital 1t was
learned that Hebbard was in delirious
condition and could not be seen. DR..
Barbat admitted that he was there and
while refusing to discuss the case in
detail stated that his judicial patient
was in such condition that he could not
be seen. He was delirious and had to
be constantly attended by nurse.

No one on this green earth can eat
lard-soaked food day after day and not
feel its i'll effects eventually. You may
have one of those iron-clad stomachs
which will prove unsusceptible for time,
but the hog-fat and its accompanying
indigestibility will do its work sooner or
later. 1t is an absolute fact that lard
simply hog-fat-is indigestible, and that
it is not fit for the human stomach.

The Gibson Lumber Company.

The Gibson Lumber Co. of
Canon City has established a
branch yard in Delta, hav ing
bought land of H. F. Cook at the
intersection of 4th and Columbia
streets which that gentleman
purchased some time ago for the
purpose of putting in a yard.
The Gibson people have been
at Montrose for several years,
recently bought yard at Grand
Junction and are establishing this
new one in Delta which is in line
with an announced purpose of
putting in a line of yards on the
Western Slope.
A. w. Jarrett, for the past
two years manager at Montrose,
has been transferred to Delta and
will bring his family here as soon
as he can find residence. Mr..
Jarrett is busy as a bee superin-
tending the construction of a
mammoth lumber shed, 60 feet
wide and $50 feet in length with
a 20 foot driveway between,
which he says when completed
will be one of the best between
Colorado Springs and Salt Lake
City.
In addition to the work of con-
structing this big building, he
has a force of men unloading Is
cars of lumber now standing on
the side track. The company
has force of rs men at work
at this time. City water mains
are being extended to the yard
and three hydrants will be in
stalled. The office will be in the
northeast corner of the big shed.
The fact that this wealthy cor
poration is establishing itself in
Delta in a permanent way is a
criterion of the future it sees for
Delta and the country surround
ing.

Commissioners Make Appropriation.

W. G. Brandenburg, lecturer for the
Colorado State Commercial Assn, was
in Delta last week and visited the
county commissioners for the purpose
of soliciting subscription that will go
into $4,000 fund being raised by the
Assn. to be used in advertising the
state. They will send out car of ex-
hibits TO visit the leading state fairs
again this year. Mr.. Brandenburg had
charge Of the car in 1906 and made
great success of the enterprise.
The commissioners wisely made an
appropriation Of 5000 which is our pro
rata according to assessed valuation.
Weld and Larimer counties appropriated
81, 600 each to this fund.
Mr.. Brandenburg is meeting success
wherever he goes as the people realize
that their money is well spent. Being
raised in this way it falls with insignifi-
cant weight on the individual.
