and penalty on a certain land sale
wherein the Niels company bought
land from the State of Minnesota.
Twenty-six venireman, including a
special venire Of three, had been
examined, at 1870, when eleven
jurymen were secured, as follows:
John Halvorson, Samuel Benson,
J. H. Mastin, John J. Wallace, James
Winebrenner, August Weber, A. w.
Sowder, I. O: Ongstad, Eric Nelson,
J. P. Omich and James Taylor.
1t was necessary to issue a special
venire for three venireman return
able forthwith, and court adjourned
at 1870 for fifteen minutes.
After the brief adjournment the
names of the three veniremen were
| turned over to the court and the
twelfth juror was secured, he being
w. J. Irish.
Attorney General George T.
Simpson is representing the state
and prosecuting the case against
Shinn. M. w. Brown, of Spooner
& Brown, of this city, is represent
ing tho defendant, Shlnn.
Attorney General Simpson opened
the case for. the state and told of
the transaction, as the result of
which Shinn was, several years
afterwards, arrested and returned to
Bemidji, and was indicted on the
charge of grand larceny in the
second degree.
The attorney general said that
the state would attempt to prove,
and would prove, that the J. Neils
Lumber company had, on July 8,
1908, paid, in checks, to O. ]. Shinn
as county treasurer, the sum of
S355.42, the same being the pay
ment of interest on contract with
the state; that Mr.. Shinn had cashed
the checks and issued receipts; that
| although the rule has always been to
issue receipts in the order as made,
the receipt given to the Niels
Lumber company were not issued in
regular order, but had been taken
from the back of the receipt book.
The evidence would show, said
the attorney general, that the checks
were deposited to Mr.. Shinn's own
private account, and that Mr.. Shinn
subsequently left the state.
The judge cautioned the jury not
to discuss the case among them
selves or to allow anyone to talk to
them about it, and adjourned court
until 1:3O this afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon the court
considered the case of the Edward
Thompson company VS.. Henry
Funkley. This is suit to recover
on a note. Mr.. Funkley moved that
the case be dismissed on the ground
that the plaintiff, a foreign corpora
ton, had not filed a proper. bond as
provided by the statutes. The motion
was denied and the court gave the
defendant three days in which to file
a new bond.
Court adjourned until this morn
ing at 9 o'clock.

CAST OF CHARACTERS
IN Clyde Fiteh's Comedy.
"GirIs"
By Walter Anthony

A serious consideration of Clyde
Fitch's Girls" would be an affront to
the playwright and an injustice to his
comedy, which is the neatest, girliest
thing he has written and as full of
laughs as it is of Fitchisms-which
means that there is evident everywhere
the touches Of master of stagecraft,
who. in this particular instance, has
done his work splendidly
fastening out Of the Van Ness the
ater after the performance was over,
one might have concluded that his fell
lows at the play had turned themselves
into press agents and were boosting
for the benefit of the scurrying critic
Il laughed every minute, said one;
the dearest comedy I've seen,' said
another; mot a weak spot in the cast"
another said, and so, all the way to the
car were scraps of conversation
dropped that a publicity man would
have gone hysterical over. There were
no knocks" at all. Indeed, the only
circumstance which prevented the
writer from suspicion that a gigantic
conspiracy had been Matched to bias his
judgment was the fact that the re-
viewer was there himself and in
dorsed the sentiments.
WOULD MEAN FEWER STARS
II there were more comedies like
Girls" there would be fewer stars and
the public would go to see the plays
rather than featured players.
There are no less than five stars in
Girls, and. appropriately, four of
them are girls. Three are man haters
who have sworn mighty oaths to keep
their spinster faith and their single
roomed blessedness. It is very funny.
their oath, which comes after their
hymn. They refuse to call the latter a
hymn, for obvious reasons, and style it
their anthem. 1t is No Wedding Bells
for Ne" OF the other two stars. one is
a sweet gossiper who lives across the
light well and borrows hairpins and
curling irons from the three maids
The gossip does not share their preju-
dice against men. Then there is the
man. He takes refuge in the girls
apartment just as they have prepared
for bed-which preparations. by the
way, are done according to Fitch,

There are disadvantages about a rep
utation which may hold good with a
theatrical company as well as with an
individual. 1t is from such a disad-
vantage that the Valencia stock COM
pany may suffer somewhat this week
in It's production of Under the Red
Robe" for the standard set at the Mis-
sion playhouse has been so high that
criticism is apt 20 be more severe than
is really deserved. All of which is not
a preface to a disparagement, but to a
qualified approval.
Under the Red Robe" as given it's
initial performance last night at the
Valencia, is entertaining and well
worth giving an evening to witness,
and the interest should not lag be-
cause the play may have been seen
before. Beyond this, however, there
is something lacking which previous
experience with the capabilities of the
Valencia players has given one the
right to expect; the production is not
entirely satisfying.
UNCERTAIN OF LINES
When it was said few lines above
that the company may suffer this week
from comparison with itself the word
may" was used advisedly. For the
faults that were most apparent last
night were of the kind that may be
eliminated from a second performance.
The chief criticism falls to the lack of
finish which was noticeable in several
parts of the play. Mace Greenleaf in
the role of Gil de Berault, The Black
Death" was himself an offender in this
respect, for he was none too sure of
his lines and faltered at times in
speeches that should have gone with a
dash.

OLD LAWYER MAKES LOVE
The next act finds two of the girls
working as stenographers in an aged
lawyers office. The old scoundrel
makes love in rather a sudden fashion
TO Pamela, who is on the point of leav-
ing In high rage when she discovers
that the old mans partner is their
nocturnal visitor. Then follow the
complications which end in the happy
mating of the three tanned men haters.
Pamela marries Edwin, Violet marries
the clerk In the office, whom she con-
verts from his woman hating pro-
clivities, and Kate marries wealthy
theatrical manager. But this is not
accomplished until some delicious
scenes have been enacted and enough
comedy business developed to stock a
dozen plays.
HOW PLAY Is CAST

ferocious maiden she is at first. yio-

personality-Miss Ethel Grey Terry

roles. and they are all types, are in
excellent hands. particularly those of
