viii Be at the Bijou Friday Evening,
June Especial Train and 100 Peo-
pie Required.

There are few people who appre-
ciate the enormous expenditure Of
time and money that has made posi-
BILE the production that will be given
at the Bijou theatre Friday evening
of this week.
There has never in the history Of
the world been anything of the char
acter attempted. There is with the
c0mapny the famous Russian Sympho-
ny orchestra Of over forty pieces and
thirty actors who produce the play.
The aggregation travels on a spec
ial train and thus avoids delays that
would arise otherwise. Bismarck and
Fargo are the only two stops that will
be made in North Dakota and already
a large number of orders for seats
have been received from out Of town
people.
There are indications that the pro-
duction here will be one of the so
ciety events of the season as the ad.
vance sale in the city is already very
large.

ENTERTAINED FOR JUNE BRIDE.
Mrs. e. J. Taylor Has Friends to Meet
Miss Sterritt.

One of the prettiest PARTIES for the
June brides was the lawn supper last
evening given by Mrs. F. J. Taylor in
honor of her sister, Miss Sterritt
The guests were the young ladies
from the capitol with whom Miss
Sterritt has been associated for sew
eral years.
The beautiful lawn with it's screens
of shrubbery and beds of Towering
tulips made an ideal dining room.
The arrangements were faultless,
from the perfect June evening to the
bountiful repast and the artistfcallv
decorated tables. The place cards
were red Cupids and red hearts in
different sizes trimmed the tables,
and also the brides cake in which
were held the usual souvenirs-a
thimble, ring, a dine and a penny.
Rarely has jollier crowd done JUS
tice to banquet or played games
upon the lawn than this one, as
sembled to say farewell to one of the
capitol girls who has been a social
favortte during her residence in Bis
marck. Miss Sterritt will leave in a
few days for Lakota and will later re-
turn to make her future home in this
city. Her many friends will welcome
her return.

!. via xay i bell, boy atf tho 500 hotel
where. the, alleged assault took place,
Frank Humphrey sand the defendant
were the Witnesses. The testimony
showed that LILY was sent TOR ito take
charge of man who had left his own
bed and was sleeping in bed in the
hall ordinarily occupied by Jap
dishwasher. The testimony showed
that Ely shook the man, then tapped
him on the feet with a. billy, at
which the man arose, and according
to the testimony of the witnesses,
came for" the defendant. Ely then
struck him twice over the head with
the billy inflicting considerable Of
a scalp wound, and took him to Jail.
The CROSS examination of the witness
Ely was with view of showing that
more force was used than necessary
and that whatever was necessary
might have been done without the
use of the billy. The case went to
the jury at little before noon.
The case of Joe Lands, charged
with plugging was probably the short
est on record for this term, as it was
not more than half an hour from the
time the jury was enpanneled until
they had been charged by the judge
and retired to consider the verdict
The defendant had made his depart
ure for unknown parts and there was
no defense offered. Only one witness
was called for the state and he tes-
titled that he had partaken of intox-
icating liquor in the place run by Mr..
Lands. There were no more Witness
es called and the jury returned YER
dict of guilty after a few minutes
elaboration.
It was not until late last evening
that the jury in the Ely case reported.
A disagreement was the result of
their deliberations, and it Is stated
that they BOILED a vote of eleven for
acquittal and one for conviction. All
the arguments of the eleven evidently
had little weight with the one and
they decided that an agreement was
impossible.
The case of Clyde Townsend was
taken up immediately after the Ian
dis case was disposed OF and had not
been finished when the court adjourn
ed. One Mr.. White wa on the wit
ness stand as the last witness for
the state and as the Judge was not
entirely satisfied with the mans con-
ditfon he had the sheriff take him
into custody and he will probably be
in better condition in the morning
when the trial will be resumed.
There will be one more witness in
troduced by the state and then the
defense will have their inning. It.
