DENVER. Feb. 26.-The wife and )
year-old daughter of Benjamin Z.
salesman of Chicago, were found dead
Monday in the bathroom of their home.

unconscious. in another room.
An investigation showed that the wife
and child had been poisoned, and Wright

The police secured a confession from
Wright in which he is credited with say
ing that he poisoned his wife and child

he was shamming for the purpose of
drawing suspicion away from him.

'zAZA' ENACTED
BY MRS. CARTER
GIVES A FINE PERFORMANCE.
COMPANY NEW AT 1T
Lack of Rehearsal and Unfamiiarity
with Lines and Business Interfere
with Perfect Depicton-PIay
Strong as Ever

Mrs. Carter revived "Zaza" at the
Mason last night. And for the sake
of the pleasure of the audience it is
good thing that the title role is
practically the whole of the play. For
1t was the first occasion on which this
present company has essayed the tur-
gidly emotional and luridly erotic
drama, and really, only the superb
acting of Mrs Carter made it more
than ordinary. AS it was there were
many stage waits, delays and draw
backs, so that the performance was
not out till well on towards midnight.
OF Mrs Carter's depletion of the fair
but frail heroine little but praise can
be said. In fact, it is the part which
brought her fame and fortune, and
nothing she has ever done has APP
preached it in power and sensation.
Neither has any other, woman who has
tried the role ever come within speak
ing distance of it. Mrs. Carter has
the ability to depict it's every light
and shade; she can be the winning
and enhancing Circe and in another
moment the vile and despicable ter
magant; she is refined at one time
and vicious at another; she is vivid
in her vulgarity and fearsome in her
anger Her Zaza is very human, the
incarnation of the gutter snipe, who,

RHYOLITE, New, May 31.-Los An
geles capital has become more and more
heavily interested in Southern Nevada
during the past three months, and
within the last few days the Bullfrog
Mining and Milling company, in which
Los Angeles, Salt Lake and New York
capital is interested has taken over the

properties or sixteen good claims in all,
for a price that is said to be in the
neighborhood of 100000.
Immediate development work on a
large scale will begin on the new hold
ings of the company and mill will be
built by the Gold Bullfrog company on
its ground ten miles north of Rhyolite,
where it holds the water right at Gold
Springs.
The mill will be built for the eX-
elusive treatment of the ore taken from
the Lee properties and 1000 inches of
water have been appropriated to handle
the milling.
In the meantime the mill of the Gold
Bullfrog company is icing pushed to

EFFICIENT HEALTH OFFICER
WILL LOSE HIS POSITION

Much to the regret of those who
demand sanitary restaurants Health
Inspector Schwegel will lose his posi-
tion. This is not because of any 'pull"
by hidden influences but because he
did not receive as high a percentage
in the recent civil service examination
as two other men.
Schwegel was appointed temporarily
and during the time he has been in Of
flee he has done excellent work in
making restaurant keepers cease in
sanitary methods in conducting their
establishments.
For several weeks past the police
courts have had an average of five to
six cases week for violations Of the
health ordinances by restaurant men,
and in the majority of cases the men
accused by Schwegel have been con-
victed. Just last week I. A. Lee paid
a fine of $1O0 for keeping an insani-
tary kitchen.
The health department is sorry to
have Schwegel go, but the law must be
obeyed.

went to the city Jail and called on
Mazzini. Later Pierce gave bail for the
pseudo Hindoo priest.
This is the second time Plaisaunce
has aided the little faker. When MAJ
zini was previously arrested and
thrown into jail Plaisaunce was active
in procuring bail for the discredited
fortune teller.
During Mazzini's trial, when witness
after witness gave evidence showing
him to be a humbug, Plaisaunce tried to

She knows perfectly how to portray
this sort of feminine emotion, and no
one has even approximately rivaled
her. Last night she was in fine fettle,
and her performance was little less
than marvellous
OF the company not much in the way
of praise can be said-largely, of
course, owing to the unfamiliarity of
the several artists with their parts
and their lack of experience in the
roles assigned to them. OF course,
only three amount to much after the
first act-zaza herself, Aunt Rosa
Bonne, done by Katherine DeBarry,
and Dufrene, enacted by Richard
Thornton, whom Los Angeles knew
when he was with the Dick Ferris
company Miss DeBarry was excellent
in her part, and really presented a
most creditable old sot of a woman,
whose love for her niece was only a
convenient way to secure the whisky
that she loved more. Mr.. Thornton,
however, did not visualize Dufrene;
perhaps he was woefully nervous, as
he seemed, and certainly he did not
realize the requirements of the hero
as have his predecessors. With more
time he might attain higher stan
dard, but he gives one the impression
of having had too much stock work,
which he has allowed to obsess him
to a marked degree, especially in his
enunciation.

saunce begged the reporters not to
print his name, declaring 1t would hurt

known that he was connected with

The police say they have not far to
seek for the motives of men who es-
pouse the cause of such humbugs.
If the predictions of the detective bu-
reau are not far wrong the dragnet
will bring in a dozen more cases of
practicing without a license in short
time.
