Last night was change night at the Iris theater, and the new bill was ap- plauded by large house., each feature being found top-notcher in its line.
 "A Husband s Revenge,' the first number, is as strong a melodrama in pictures as one could well wish to see. It tells a strong story of human emo tions and passions and keeps the audi ence deeply stirred until the last twist of the film has been given.
 ''For Katy's Health, Ker-Choo, !" and the "Woman Suffragist" are three comic pictures that make the roars all the time. Last night they kept the house screaming with laughter and bid fair to bring a rushing time to the box office as long as they are on the bill.

 FINDS TEETH OF POISONOUS
 BEAST FASTENED IN HIS FACE GOES TO PAsTEUR INSTITUTE.

PRESCOO September 3.-Btten by above the nose, was the painful exper fence of ]. B. Scantling, Friday morning at 2 o clock, in his tent in Lawler gulch, two miles from the Hillside mine. Seant- ling left immediately for the Pasteur Institute in Chicago for treatment
 Scantling's forehead is not SO badly swollen but the marks of the four teeth of the infuriated beast are plainly visible. The teeth penetrated the flesh almost to the skull before the Mephitis Americana was despatched by Seantling who crushed it to death with his hands while the fangs were still imbedded in his forehead.
 Scantling and his son were asleep in bed when Scantling was aroused by something walking on his left arm, which was resting on his face. He thought it was his son s arm at first, and raised his arm to push his son s arm away. The intruder jumped on his face and imbedded his teeth in his fore head. He grasped it with both hands and crushed it to death while still hang ing to his face. After releasing his death hold he found it to be a small striped skunk, generally known as the hydrophObia species. He does not an ticipate any bad effects from the bite, but intends to submit to the Pasterr remedy as preeaution against future complication.
 Scantling is a hunter and trapper, He showed the scars of many bites of different wild animals to a group on the train, all of which are healed He stated that this is the first time he was ever bitten by any member oi the many skunk families, aithough be, had trapped and killed several. He came here from Kansas a few months ago.

 The other woman, who came into the tent at the time of the shooting, was shot through the rop of the right lung and through the left side. Sha will recover, as neither of the wounds are necessarily fatal. Both the women are about 24 years old and rather aitrac tive in appearance
 After the shooting Clark rushed from the tent shouting that he would not siop until he killed three other Indians who were instrumental in running his peace and happiness. He then mounted d horse and as he rode of said: "Tell the police l will not give up until I have killed all who have done me wrong. Then l will surrender and l do not care what becomes of me.
 He was armed with Wine hester and the revolver which he used to murder his wife. He is considered dangerous Indian and in the condition of his mind now will put up hard fight be fore he is taken.
 As 1t is government case, the of tieers here did not go in search of Clark, but the Indian police and a number of other Indians took up the chase imme diately.
