Tamagno and others whose names are writ high in the Temple of
Music-sang there and there received the plaudits of the people, who
rejoiced that the Coliseum made it possible that so great an opera
price something lower than a kings ransom.
In other days that followed other musicians were heard there.
Paddy" Gilmore's band, led by the popular Patrick sarshed Gilmore
in his own proper person, there played his programs that were as
much his own as was that beatihc smile he sent like a benson over
the wildly applauding throng who cheefed him at the end of each
number. And his arrangement of "The Star spangled Banner" with
artillery accompaniment-that audience didn't need the example of
the military men present to rise and stand while that number was
played. The latent patriotism in each breats was famed into fame
by the strains Of the great national air, and the assemblage was on
its feet, ready to cheer its approval of song and rendition, long before
the salvo of artillery had punctuated the second bar of the refrain:
IT'S the Star Spangled Banner Doom! Boom)
oh, long may it wave Boom! Boom! Boom)
Ger the land of the free Doom! Boom!)
And the home of the brave Doom! Boom! Crash! BoomD
That was Paddy Glmore's own idea, and he made it Ego" with
a great chorus, directed by B. B. Young, and led by Madame MAJ
after Gilmore came Theodore Thomas, with his wonderful orchestra,
and another feast was furnished whose SAVIOR Is still sweet in men,
DRY. Thomas played for US that afternoon Beethovens Unfinished
Symphony" and it was probably never better played. And still an
other year Edward Strauss, fresh from the imperial palace at Vienna,
played for us Strauss watzes and bowed his funny little bow, a nr-
vous jerk of the head that was not a bow and hardly came up to the
requirements of a nod, and by his unbendtng attitude chilled a warm
western welcome Into a coldly formal afternoon for a fine gathering
of cultured people, who listened almost in silence to the strains of a
band of musicians whose individuality had been entirely subjugated
by the leaders stiffness and unamiable personality. But no such
waltz music has been heard elsewhere in Omaha. Other music has
been heard there-May festivals, local choral efforts and noted or
chestras, and the notes of the birds are still heard among the beams
of the roof.

telling of the excitement that would follow the contest between the
dogs and the wolf. which animal was described as being especially
fierce and eager for a fight. On Saturday night the accustomed
crowd was assembled at the Coliseum, some 1000 odd people having
paid Q quarter each to secure admission to the arena. Out In the
center of the track a strong barricade of barb wire had been built,
incosing a considerable space in which the deadly encounter was to
occur. All precautions had been taken to insure the safety of the
spectators and any fears that may have been felt were quieted by the
senator's" announcement that strong guards had been posted about
the arena, SO it would not be possible for the maddened wolf to get
among the people and devour any of them. In the center of the en-
closure was a cage strong enough to hold a Numidian lion, and in
this cage was ensconced the man-eater, who was soon to be turned
loose on the dogs, held In leash by Charley Jackson and Bill Mardis.
Finally the signal was given. The dogs were unclaimed and their
keepers scurried for the gate that let them out to safety. One brave
man alone remained in the enclosure that was soon to be the scene
opened the door and fed to the gate, which was quickly opened and
closed, with the man on the outside. Then the fierce and ravenous
wolf came forth-a miserable, NANCY coyote that wouldn't have
fought with a prairie dog. The dogs looked at the wolf and the wolf
at the dogs, and then they smelled one another and-proceded to
fraternize. No amount of urging or "sic 'em" could start a fight
among that happy assemblage of ours of low degree, and finally it
came over the crowd that the wolf fight was like a good many of the
socaled bicycle races and the assemblage melted away.
Only a few months later the arena at the Coliseum presented a
contrast as sharp, and probably as violent, as possible. Instead of
the eager thousands, in whose veins flowed blood stirred at the sight
bicycles or gaping hxedly at a group of animals, waiting to see them
rend each other, the softer side of mans nature had drawn thither
an entirely different class of people. Under the lights were gathered
the culture and intellect, the wealth and beauty and fashion of the
territory Of which Omaha is the center. Jewels flashed and shout
ders cleaned, and handsome men in black and white stood around
or moved quietly about, while the swish of silk and lace was the only
sound. 1t was as brilliant an audience. probably. as any Omaha has
ever seen out, and at that time equaled, if it did not excel, any that
had ever gathered in the city. And 1t had a wonderful occasion to
observe, for the air of the Coliseum thrilled that night with some of
the sweetest sounds it had ever vibrated to. 1t was grand opera,
and for three performances the rough building housed one of the

HOLSTER PUT IN EVIDENCE
One Worn by Captain Rains on Day
of Rnnic Murder

Flushing, n. Y, Dec. 24-Introduced
in evidence in the trial of Thornton
j. Hams was large leather revolver
holster which the states attorney
says will play an important part in
the states case.
This holster was found strapped I'M
der the arm and on the shoulder of
Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr., shortly
after his arrest for the killing of Will
.am e. Annis. The holster is new and
Policeman Baker, who discovered it,
said that it was so slung around the
army captains shoulder that the re.
volver in its sheath would lave
pressed against the right breast, en-.
abling the wearer to draw it at q mo-
ments notice.
Counsel for the prosecution declare
that the wearing of such q revolver
holster clearly shows that Carta,n
Hains left the army post at Fcrt
Hamilton armed with the intcntion OF
killing and disproves any suggestion
that he suddenly became insane on
seeing Annis. Counsel further assert
that Thornton Hams must have had
knowledge that his brother was armed
and was going out to hunt his victim
The revolver which Thornton Hains
wore is the usual right hip affair.
The witnesses at the days session
were Herman H. Kimmel, a member
of the Bayside Yacht club, who went
to the float Immediately after the
shooting; Captain John A. Clark, col
ored, sailing master of yacht, who
saw part of the tragedy, and Patrol
man Charles w. Baker, who arrested
the Hams brothers. Nothing sensa
tional was brought out except that
Clark said he ate luncheon with John
Tonning, the missing boatman, in
Manhattan four weeks ago. He gave
Tonning's address to counsel.

First-To regulate and fix prices tc
retail dealers.
Second-To control and limit the
trade in the refined products of petro

Third-To control and limit and
prevent competition in the buying and
selling of these products.
Fourth-To deceive and mislead
the public into the belief that they
were separate and distinct corpora

business as legitimate competitors.
The suit to oust the three com

been before the state supreme cour1
