Boston Theatre.

OF all the pleasing attributes to,
that master of stage craft, David Bel
asco, there is none of such interest as
1.-THE Heart of Maryland" which will
be given at the Boston Theatre next
week. This was really Mr.. Belasco's
great effort, or in other words, the
first play in which he proved the con
viction of many years to the effect
that Mrs Leslie Carter had in her al
the qualities of great actress. Mr.
Belasco wrote the play at a time when
he was practically down and out, and
when he had finished he could not get
anybody to produce it. 1t was many
months before he was able to secure
a hacker, and that hacker with Mr.
Belasco, made a fortune. Even the
hacker weakened after the play haC
run several years and withdrew.

Moose Season Ends.

The moose shooting season IN Maine
ended at midnight Monday and re-
ceipts at Bangor show a decided fall
ing off from last season. Up to IL
O'Clock Monday night lis moose had
been received at Bangor or passed
through on the way west, while at
the corresponding time IN 1907 the
number was los. Weather conditions
have not been favorable much of the
time this fall and this accounts in
part for the decrease, although hunt

and calves are plentiful which prom

Deer receipts at Bangor TO date
aggregate 2s73, against 2213 at the

nine bears have thus far been brought

FIRED UPON FOES;
KILLED HIS FRIEND
COURT HEARING HALTED BY THE
NEWS THAT DEFENDANTS
s.=.. g VICTIM is DEAD. I'D

La Moure, N. D., Nov. 26.-Whi1e a
preliminary hearing of the case
against Joseph Brown, charged with
assault with a dangerous weapon, with
intent to kill, was being held in this
city today, word was received from
Edgeley that Oscar Freund, the VIC
tim of the assault, had died. The
tragedy occurred in Jud, a small viii
lage in the western part of this coun-
ty and was the elimination of reign
of lawlessness that has had no paral-
lei in this section of the state.
Brown conducts a restaurant and
poolroom in Jud. "a gang of drunken
hoodlums smashed the front of his
buildings with beer bottles, and 1T
is said that Brown fired into the crowd
the charge taking effect in the throat
and chest of Freund #
1t appears that Freund was not a
party to the raid, and that he was one
of Browns best friends. 1t was his
desire that Brown should not be pros
ecuted, and had he lived he would
have refused to appear as witness
against him.
Upon receipt of the news of the
death of Freund the hearing was post
poned to next Monday when the
charge of assault will be changed to
murder.

The great majority of men and wo-

A Fargo dispatch to the Minneapol-
is Journal says: The organization of
both branches of the North, Dakota
Legislature is involved in the sena-
torial fight and plans are practically
completed with a full slate for every
elective and appointive position in
both houses. The greatest interest
hinges around the committee appoint
ments with the craftsmanship of the
senate committee on Judiciary as the
capstone of all. This committee is
attracting more attention from the rail
road interests than all others comtir-
ed. Colonel G. B. Little of Bismarck
has held the craftsmanship since state
hood, but will not be member of the
present legislature and Simpson of
Dickinson appears to be the favoie2s
candidate.
The supporters of M. N. Johnson
and others who felt the party might
be wrecked il johnson were thrown
down, got together and began to em-
phasize the moral obligation" feature
of the johnson vote. Many members
of the legislature, not personally
friendly to Johnson, nor feeling under
any particular obligations because of
his popular endorsement, we're whip,
ped into line and it is said suf!i-
cient number has signed up to insure
Johnson's election. This combination
will control the organization of both
branches of the legislature.

Fargo democrats are far from en-
tl:usiastic over the rumors from The
state capitol that Governor Burke has
determined on the selection of Win
terer of Valley City, and Newton Ct

justices. Democrats here wanted Ell
