Before one of the largest audiences OF

Chase's-A Good vaudeville min.

The hit OF the bill at Chase's this
week is the comedy and musical act Of
Frederick Brothers and Burns. They are
accomplished musicians, and they re-

usual Monday dare-you-to-make-m e-laugh

without the usual slap-stick horse play
and the music very good. Their trio on
panels Of musical glass was a distinct
novelty, as was Frederick's solo on a
string of tin cans.
Entertaining were the PeTmane Broth
ers, eccentric acrobats Of no mean abil-
ity. They performed difficult stunts with
parently easy grace, and their gro
tesque parody. The Nightengale's Court

the audience. Toby Claude, generally the
prize package in the vaudeville grabbag

Miss Claude is a delightful Coincidence
and usually very funny, but yesterday

together always compel the auditor 10

The cast is truly remarkable for the
number Of handsome men on the list, who
not only have the advantage OF fine
physical aspects, but also have the yir-
tue Of acting power and the art Of ef-
fective elocution Principal among them

The women OF the east are capable In

action being sustained by the men, with
Miss LOTUS assistance. The list in
cludes Miss Ida Darling. as Mrs. E,s-
terre. Miss Phoebe Coyne, as Mrs.

Nina Marsh.
Like all of the comedies which APP
peared at the same period the lines Of
this play are remarkably bright and
witty with consistent but not strenu-
Gus action. and always with some basis
of sentiment underlying the whole. The
entire piece is clean and satisfying In a
lighter sense, and in this case a barking
lack for twenty years or more certainly
produces enjoyable results; in fact. If a
few more of those sterling old comedies
were resurrected under such favorable au-
spices as the present one, the result
would undoubtedly be more pleasing than

The authorities here were notified this
morning at about $50 o'clock that a
squaw was lying dead near Kelly. the
information coming from that village.
Accordingly the sheriff and coroner
drove down and found the squaw as
stated. She was lying along side of
the spur track running up from Scho-
field. The buck was found and brought
to this city and locked up and arrange

remains here and the corpse now lies

Jos. Koperski residing at sol
Hoeilinger street, received fatal in
juries while at work in the Barker d
Stewart mill Saturday evening, shortly
before the time for closing the mill for
the supper hour. He was so badly in
iured that there was no hope of saving
his life. He was taken to St. Mary's
hospital where he died about ten hours
later without regaining consciousness.
He was at work back of the gang saw,
taking lumber away from the saws and
it is presumed that a piece of slab got
caught either in the saws or live rollers
and that in attempting to loosen it, it
was thrown up with such force as to
knock him down. The left side of his
skull and whole left side of his face was
crushed in.
He had been employed by the com
pany for about twenty years and it was
his intention to give up mill work this
spring and cultivate Z small farm he
owned just east of the city He was
forty-seven years of age, industrious
and father of a large family of children,
ten of whom survive him. A number
