MAX FIGMAN Strong
ON CURTAIN SPEECH
FRS ATTEMPT WAS a HEART.
BREAKER FOR THE CLEVER
COMEDIAN.
Is Nightly Called Upon Now For Orig
ina' Speech - Will probably Fav-
or Audience Tonight.

Max Fignran, who will be at the Bi
jou tonight in MARY James Pa" has
acquired the speech making habit.
He didn't even select it or stumble
across it accidentally. It was thrust
upon him by an eager and excited
public. Not satisfied with having him
extract all the laughter possible from
the lines set down for him by the
| authors, his admirers have lately
been bringing him before the curtain
between acts to say a few words for
himself.
Practice makes perfect with every
body and the genial Figman had de-
velo2ed a gracious and witty spon-
taneous strain of utterances that is
almost as fetching as his regular dia-
logue.
But it was not always thus.
The first indication Of a demand
for a speech spread CONSERVATION in
the bosom of Figman and set his
heart beating at pace that would
make two-year-old race for a fut.
urity stake look like a mud turtle
gallop.
He summoned all his assistants
the manager, the agent, the property
man, the carpenter and the scenic
artist-and between all their efforts
the comedian got through his first
curtain call without being mpbbed
or bodily harmed.
He started off with the time honor
ed Ladies and gentlemen: I thank
you'-and then he stopped. He SEEM
ed to be grouping for his hands which
he had apparently carelessly thrown
away somewhere, and when he did
manage to get them, by his express
sion, they must have been several
sizes too large. He developed "a
startling case of frog in the throat,
and apparently was weak on his feet,
for he 'wobbled from one side to the
other before he could get beyond 81
thank YOU"
Inspiration seized him and the
kindly patience of the audience help
ed him until he finally Invested his
system Of few sincere though ner.
vous expressions Of thanks, with a
promise OF doing better next time.
Hardly a night passes now but
what he has to express himself be-
fore the curtain and his speeches are
so varied and full of meat it taxes the
ability Of the company, who have la
beled and numbered them, to properly
index them any more.

general was asking the supreme court
to pass upon the courts ruling in
which ne held that until it had been
made to appear by proper showing
that the states attorney had neglect

that in the opinion of the court it
would be illegal and Improper for the
attorney general to go before the
grand jury for the puruose Of CIV

in the performance of their duty.
In. this connection the court said
he was very anxious to have the ques-
tion determined by the higher court.

WILL DO.
Little Love Is Lost Between Downs
and Brown and Fine Exhibition Ia
Looked for BY Fans.

Interest in. the Downs-Brown
wrestling match which is to be pull
ed off at the Bijou Wednesday night,
is rapidly reaching fever heat.
Both of the contestants are free
with their remarks about what they
will do to the other fellow and it is
a well known fact that there is lit
tie love lost between the two men.
1t is rumored that they have met
in the ring before and that the re-
suit was not satisfactory to either one
and the match Wednesday night will
be entered into with the idea of
leaving no doubt as to who is the
best man.
Downs has been training faithful
ly during the ent re summer and fan
and is in the best of shape, and
Brown has been putting in some hard
ticks for the past three months with
the one idea Of getting in shape 70
whip the Bismarck man.
Both men are big and clever and
are old heads at the game, and it is
stated that the exhibition will he
even better one than was put ON
between Downs and Corners last
week.
There will be good sized dele
gaion over from Mandan to see that
their man gets his share of applause
There have been couple of good
preliminary bouts planned, and with
these and the main bout, it will make
a show that will be worth going to
see.

There Were seven pardons grant

Emil Wenlund, who was sent. :up

after being convicted of murder, was
among those pardoned. He had serv-
ed fourteen years. Of his sentence
and had been a model prisoner DUR

numbering the foreman Of farm on
which he was working. There were
no eye witnesses to the crime and
all the evidence was of circumstan-
tial nature. He was arrested in Fargo

he would be very glad to be correct
ed and give the attorney general g
chance to go before the jury and pre-
sent to them such matter as might
be proper and legal. The jury was
then told that they might go out and
hold themselves in readiness to conn
ply with any further order which it
might be necessary to make in view
of the matter which is pending be-
fore the supreme court.
It was rumored on the streets here
that the return of the grand jury con
tains one Indictment, but of course it
is impossible to confirm that rumor
at the present time.
