 FOUND NOT GUiLTY-The case of Bernie Bruce, a Tempe contractor. charged by J. J. Cottrell with the Iar- ceny of a quantity of brick, was tried before Justice Johnstone yesterday on a. change of venue from Tempe pre- cinct He was acquitted by the jury. The point made by the defense was that there was no intention to mis- appropriate the property; that the contractor was in need of the material and that he knew that he could ob- tain it of MT. Cottrell if he were pres ent. but not being present the defend ant took the bricks and as soon there after as he could get into communica- ton with the prosecuting witness he informed him what he had done and mailed him a check for the material.

CHlCAGO GLEE CLUB COMING
Talented Quartette Will Appear
Here Next Wednesday.

The Chicago Glee Club, without
doubt one of the best male quartettes
this country has ever produced, will
appear In the Improvement Club hall
next Wednesday evening, April 14th.
This announcement should be sufficient
to fill the hall to its utmost capacity.
The fact that each voice Is peculiarly
adapted to the part It assumes and
that the membership OF the club has
been so long unchanged, combine to
produce the highest degree Of excel
lence. The repertoire of the club is
very extensive and comprises the best
Of all classes of music written for male
voices, many Of the selections having
been written and arranged especially
for this club. The volume of voices is
such as TO I'll the largest auditorium,
while the planissimo passages are 80
tine and harmonious as 70 hold the
audience in breaJhless attention
The Chicago Glee Club offers de-
cldedly novel feature in the form of y
slide trombone quartette. The from
bone is conceded to be the king Of wind
Instruments, and the effect produced
by the four quite approaches in sweet
ness and volume the quality aud power
OF a pipe organ. The humorous mum
bers are original and refreshing, and
the songs In action lend spice to the
program, while the sailor songs In cos
thine lead one to believe that he is lis
tening to the "Jolly Jack Tars."
The Improvement Club has secured
this male quartette at high guaran-
tee, and to meet this the price Of re-
served seats for this occasion has been
increased to IS cents, with the general
admission at 50 cents, and Is cents for
children. This increase, however, Is
below the average price charged to
hear this excellent company Of artists.
Those from out Of town Wishing TO
attend may easily do so, for the new
schedule Of the trains makes it conven-
lent, IS eli passenger trains stop Tor
Gags at any station. Those from the
north north may arrive here at 1855 D.
M. and return at lilo p. m. From the
