LITTLE GIRL KILLED

In full view of her little sisters, who
had vainly tried to prevent her crossing
the street, Dorothy Brush, FIVE years old,
was struck and killed by trolley car in
Brooklyn, yesterday afternoon. The
screams OF the children attracted the
attention of their mother who came
running from her home nearby, and for
half an hour, until a wrecking crew
could remove the body, the mother
sobbed in the street beside the,
body of her child. DOro thy's skull was
crushed by one of the wheels. With
her two sisters, Elsie, eight years old,
and Annie, six years old, the little girl
had been playing on the sidewalk, when
without warning, Dorothy suddenly start
ed across the street. Elsie and Annie
saw the trolley car approaching and
called to their sister to halt, but she
paid no attention to them. The motor
man tried hard to stop his car, but a
grade made his efforts unavailing. He
was arrested.

give him n large audience. This rule
has always applied to Grand June

years he has been coming here has
Mr.. Hanford failed to attract one of
the largest audiences of the season.
This season Mr.. Hanford will be
seen in this city in his magnificent
production of Shakespeare great
pastoral comedy, The Winters
Tale" the first time ever offered
here. In the play the brilliant actor
will be seen in two roles, as Leontes,
King of Stella and as Autolycus, the
rogue. The dual role can be assum-
ed easily as the characters are not sup
posed TO appear at the same time in
any scene. The portrayal of the two
roles gives a remarkable opportunity
for n display of the wonderfully
versatile talent of Mr. Hanford
Her many Grand Junction admir-
ers will be glad to know that Miss
Marie Drofnah is with Mr.. Hanford
again this season and is doing the
finest work of her career II will
be remembered that owing to seri-
Gus and prolonged illness Miss Drof-
nah was not with Mr.. Hanford last
year. She has not been seen here
for two seasons. A company of
twenty-five people. including Mr..
Kline, Mr.. Mckenzie and several
other able players who have been
with Mr. Hanford for several sea
sons. assist in the production. The
scenic features of The Winters

said to be magnificent
II goes without saying that the
Hanford engagement will be one of

inee and evening performances the
rest of the week. Matinees at $50:
