LOOKING FOR EARL BULLOCK.
Local Police Watching for Youthful
Lawrence Bandit.

Authorities here are today on the
watch for Earl Bullock the IS year
old boy who last night shot down
Officer Pringle of Lawrence who
went to arrest him after he had
driven a deputy sheriff and the
cashier of the State bank of Eudora
into the vault, following which he
left Eudora by train for Lawrence
taking with him $1,000 of the banks
money.
While the boy is an amateur it is
thought that his knowledge of sleuths
is sufficient to steer him away from
both Topeka and Kansas City, where
the police authorities are noted for
their captures. Nevertheless no stone
will be left unturred to capture the
lad should it happen that he comes
here.
With that end in view every patrol
man and plain clothes man on the
municipal police force was furnished
with a description of the young man,
with instructions to arrest any sus-
picious characters who might COM
form to the description. or who
might develop a question regarding
their identity.

At the Novelty.

The Novelty bill for this week en-
braces a number of excellent acts,
featuring the one of Mile. Lorette and
her celebrated statue dog Ben. This
is the first time an act of this charac-
ter has ever been seen in Topeka but
II is favorite already as is evidenced
from the hands 1t received at three
performances Monday Ben is a big
white Irish setter, as pretty as a dog
could be, and endowed with more than
usual canine intelligence. The act is a
series of poses III which Ben and Mile.
Lorette, the latter dressed in the typi-
cal English hunting costume of white,
depict the following features of hunt:
Off to the hunt, seeming game. point
ing, dropping to shoot. retrieving, re-
trieved, lunch. q wounded dog and
back from the hunt.
This is not the only good feature of
the program, however as Karl and
Erma Gath present an original comedy
skit entitled Amateur Night at the
Bowery." which is out of the ordinary
as well as topping above the ordinary
run of comedy skits. One of the most
enjoyable parts of the entire bill is
that of the Ramsey sisters in a COM
edy success, 1.-The Messenger Girl"
This is musical act in which a dia-
Iogue of comedy is inserted for effect.
Both features elicit lavish applause.

At the Grand.

Clyde Fitch's latest comedy, Girls -
under the management of the Shu-
berts, which will be presented at the
Grand theater Monday, deals with the
fortunes of four young women who
have gone to New York with the de-
termination to fight their way in the
world without the assistance of the
opposite sex. After a struggle. how
ever, they finally succumb to the in
evitable and throw down their arms to
their sworn enemies.
1t can be readily understood that
such a theme handled in the mastery
fashion common to Clyde Fitch would
be full of bright lines and humorous
situations.
