NEGRO SHOT DEPUTY
IN THIS CITY AND
TAKEN TO NEWBERN. N. C.
Simmons Was Being Arrested When He
Fired at Southern Under-sherin,
Wounding Him.

Deputy Sheriff Christopher Lupton,
of Craven County, N. c., left Newark

tempted to fill White full of lead while
being placed under arrest on March /.
Sfmmons's house vas raided on
March l, and he was being placed un-
der arrest by the deputy when he
asked permission to go back to the
house and get his waistcoat. White
granted his request. Once inside he
went up to the second floor and armed
himself with a single-barreled shotgun.
Then he jumped from the window and
attempted to escape. White followed
him and Simmons fired pointblank at
the deputy. Whites hat was torn to
shreds, and part of the shot hit him
in the face. He was not seriously in
jured, however.
ut would not do to let this fellow
get away from us" said Lupton. There
would be no living down there, and we
have got to make an example of every
one of them"
Detective S%ergeants Kuhn and Quinn

The police went around to the Columbia
Theatre yesterday to look over the per-
formance of "Sapho." They apparently de-
cided thai there was nothing in 1t likely to
prove deleterious to Newarl's morals. At
any rate they made no outcry. Both per-
~forrnances progressed peacefully and were
Witnessed by large audiences. The more
sensational scenes of the original produc-
ton had been toned down. The famous
staircase scene was not acted out, but
merely referred to.
Miss Catherine Purnell made a real
istie Sapho, showing ability In the sew
eral tragic climaxes, and she was ably
supported by Frank Munnell as Jean
Gaussin, and w. JEFF Murphy as Flamant,
her convict lover and father of her SON.
Little Mora Nelson mad a pretty little
hoy and acted with naturalness. The
Misses Jennie Stanley, Elizabeth Hunt,
Dora Hurley and Madeline Delmar also
supported the leading characters in a
generally satisfactory, II somewhat melo-
dramatic. manner. W. S. James, Harry
Bewley. Edwin BEDDING. Gilbert Proctor.
Luther Hale and Fred Reese also played
acceptably.

PATTERSON, Jan. 14.-For seven hours
yesterday Henry DeCato, of Peters,
burg, Va, lay imprisoned under a pile
of lumber on a sidetracked lumber train
on the Erie Railroad at Waldwick,
N, Y.
His chest crushed and his right arm
broken he cried for help, but his APP
peal was not heard until 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, when a track walker
heard his cries and investigated.
DeCato was almost exhausted and
was just about sinking into uncon-
seriousness when his plight was discov-
cred.
Three railroad men worked fifteen
minutes shifting the lumber from the
a before DeCato could be released.
He was carried to the Waldwiek station
on an improvised stretcher made from
two boards. Word was telephoned to
st. Joseph's Hospital in this city, and
the ambulance was sent to the Market

When a thorough examination was
made it was seen that his condition WAS

PRocroR,s-vAupEvILLE

Good bill at Proctor'S this week. For
artistic eleverness, there's Miss Bessie
Wynne, in a song specially; for u%proari-
Gus laughter, there are WEIGH Francis
and company in n nonsensical sketch
called THE Flip Mr.. Flop for novel;
ty. there's Ethel McDonough, in "The
Girl Behind the Drum" Then there are
two good song-and-dance apecialties Of
different character, one by Nellie Florede
and six graceful soubrettes and the other
by Eddie Leonard and the Gordon Broth
ers, In black-face. in addition Terley
gives good representations, not in the
stereotyped style; Hafford and Mantell
make a good funny team to fill in with,
and a little Scotch terrier, called ''Wlse
Mike" shows that he has been well
trained. An audience that filled every seat
and all the boxes seemed to enjoy it all,
even down TO the trials and tribulations
of the man in bathing and the antics of
the baby elephant revealed by the moving
pictures.
Such offerings as Miss Wynnc's make
for better, brighter. more interesting
vaudeville. They lift il to a more truly
entertaining scale and give II an artistic
touch which appeals to intelligent and
discriminating audiences. Miss Wynue Is
pretty, clever and has a good voice. More
Than that. she has much Of that rare
quality which is called personal magnet
ism. She acted out her songs very pref
tilv and very gracefully. doing a few
steps which showed that she can dance as
well as sing. One OF her songs was about
a little girl who had become tired of play
Ing with her doll, Teddy bear, etc, and
wanted something "llve" to daily with.
She sang to a man in one OF the second
Tier boxes, inviting him to come and play
with her, until he beat a hasty retreat
which, OF course, he was paid to do. In
one Of her other songs a man in the
balcony responded, which, OF course, he,
too, was paid to do.
Miss Florede will be remembered as
having been the first woman soloist at the
public band concerts in the parks here
several wears ago under the management
of the EVENING STAR, then the Ad-
vertiser. At that time she disclosed q
strong, good soprano, which helped make
the concerts a success. Last night she
sang several songs, the best of which
was I'm a Regular College Chap" in
which she donned male attire. Her act
WAS In four scenes, first showing a gar
den wall, with her six companions dressed
as Fluffy Rufles Of long ago; second the
interior of a Partisan modiste's emporium.
with the girls as dress models; third. the
campus song, and fourth. the orchard
With the revolving rocking chairs, lighted
Mt the finale. by electric lights, and the
girls performing complete revolutions IN
side OF them. II was all very novel and
pretty.
