him for six runs before he finally
got the arm to working right again.

several children were in the other.
Gottleib Teuscher was behind and
when they came to place where
there were two roads for short
distance, attempted to pass the
team ahead. The lead team gave q
race and as the roads came together
the two rigs collided, going at full
speed. Henry Teuscher was still
ahead, and the hub of his hind
wheel locked in the spokes of the
front wheel of Gottleibs buggy.
Every spoke was ground from the
wheel and the rim rolled into the
gutter below the road. Both oc-
cupants of the buggy were thrown
violently, and the elder man was
badly bruised and scratched. A
bad scalp wound over his eyes was
the most serious and he was immedi-
ately taken to a physician. II is
now thought the wounds will be no
more sarlous than to give their vic-
tim considerable pain and suffering.
When the rig collapsed the team
broke loose and dashed down the
road. Frank Jones was driving up
the canyon with his family, and
barely managed to dodge the run
away team, the remnants of the
buggy, still fastened to the run
away team, struck his horse, and
SCARED it slightly but he managed
to keep it under control.

THE VAN VLISSINGEN CASE.

In the arrest and conviction of Pc
ter Van Vlssingen, at Chlrgao, All
baDpening within the brief period OIL
four hours. there is a dramatic con-
clusion of most remarkable Grim
inaI career. The story is that
of a highly respected man
who has been q successful forger Ior
a period of nearly twenty years;
man now in the prime of life, facing
the blight of the penitentiary, instead
of the contemplation of years OF use
fulness and honor.
For the period mentioned, van
Vlissengen has been selling forged
notes and mortgages. He confessed
that he realized about 100000 by MS
criminal practices. One of the fruits
of his crime has been opulent living.
1t was probably for that he began to
commit crime. and continued in the
practice for nearly quarter of d
century But with man of con-
science. as Van Vlissingen appears by
his contrite confession and Willingness
to accept punishment to be, the tor
lures of anxiety that filled that
crime committing period must nave

action of the play takes place in
Texas and the name of the heroine is
Texas West. The play has the charm
Of atmosphere, and the story which is
simple, is well told. The interest is
well sustained and there are some
thrilling dramatic moments. The
characters are not dragged in to help
along the action, but the action de-
velops naturally and consistently from
the characters. The hero of the play
is a stalwart young ranchman, who
is strong, heroic and resourceful. He
loves Texas West, and the course Of
their love would have, been smooth
and sunny, but for the plottings of
Pasqual, a border half breed whom
Jack Dallam, the hero, has branded as
a cattle thief. An English lord is also
concerned in the plot and endeavors to
purchase Buckhead Ranch. the home
of Texas, as he has learned there are
valuable gold deposits on the land. He
is presented from doing this by Jack
Dallam, who learns suddenly that he.
has become rich through his oil
fields in Eastern Texas. Jack pur
chases the ranch and the home is
saved. The strength of the play lies in
both the plot and in the characters
and atmosphere of the plains which
pervades it. The love story is very
prettily told and the comedy element
is bright, sparkling and breezy. The,
coming production has been rehearsed
under the personal supervision of the
author. 1t will be seen at the Keylor

HIGH GRADING.'

The arrest in Seattle of a working
miner from Tanana who had in his
possession a considerable amount of
gold dust stolen from the sluices of
his employers recalls one of the typical
stories Of early days on the Klandyke.
The men employed on one of the
rich claims which was producing
largely sent deputation to the
owner with the complaint that the
wages paid We're considerably lower
than were paid on other claims. While
if wages were not advanced the men
would quit and find work elsewhere
The good atured claim owner listened
patiently, and when the case was fully
presented he responded briefly: Il
know, boys, de wages is small, but dc
gold is coarse" The wages were moi
advanced and none of tlfe men quit
but at the end of the season they had
rather more money than miners en-
ployed at higher wages on ground
where the gold was not coarse"

which had become so common that the
losses ran into hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
