Robert M. Peck, 10 years old, for

West Thirty fifth street. by sending
two bullets In his brain shortly before
z o'clock last night. He was found In
an unconscious condition by neigh
Dor, who heard the shots and rushed
to the stricken man, before the family
who were eating the evening meal
could reach him. He fingered until
o'clock, when he died. Dependency
because OF Ill health was the cause.
Peck had been employed as guard
at the whittier Reform school. Last
August he became Ill and was forced
to give up his position. Since that time
he has been brooding over his poor
health, and three weeks ago he sum
moned DIT. r. Macarthur of Tenth
and Figueroa streets, who treated him
for lung trouble.
Last night Peck told his wife TO go
to dinner and, when she had finished
the meal. to bring his dinner to the
bed room. because he did not feel
able to get out Of bed. Shortly after
she left the room Peck arose, got his
revolver from q dresser drawer and
went into the bath room. Standing
before a mirror, he fired two bullets
into his right temple.

RICHARD earle
DELIGHTS AUDIENCE
"Mary's Lamb" at the Mason Proves
One of the Best Attractions
of the Year-Live
Comedy
BY LEMUEL PARTON

"Mary's Lamb" is served up at the
Mason opera house this week and Mr..
Richard earle is the trimmings as well
as the lamb. "Mary's Lamb" without
Richard earle would be like long
shoremen's picnic without any suds,
but with all the earle and Carleisms
it is still a couple of car lengths ahead
of most of the musical shows which
have visited the southwest this winter.
The show is given practically the
same production as that given In New
York last summer, although several
changes have been made in the minor
parts. The present performance Is bet
ter than the New York production, as
the slight changes made have strength
ened the company and the work Is
considerably more finished.
Richard Carries productions are char
acterized by frolicsome gayety which
lifts the curse from whatever fault you
may find with the plot, or lack Of 1t.
and "Mary's Lamb" is one OF the most
frolicsome of the lot. 1t involves the
experience of one mild person, Leander
Lamb, who is the victim of a shrewish
wife. 1T am not man, am an echo,"
says the much intimidated Leander.
and his troubles are further increased
by his being caught at a studio of an
artist friend with a music hall singer,
who previously has shocked the esti-
mable Mrs. Lamb. Leander feigns
sleep walking and gets by with 1t this
time, but fails at a second attempt
when the music hall girl invades the
Lamb home and makes love to him to
spite Mrs. Lamb. Bill Blackwell from
Idaho provides Leander the means of
release from his wife's tyranny by his
account of an incident that happened
twenty years before which furnishes
Leander a. means of bringing his wife
to terms. The last curtain shows Les
ander very much in the ascendant and
the shrewish wife very much eclipsed,
facing the doom of being sent to the
thousand islands. with year on each
island"
The chorus numbers are sprightly
and varied and the principals of the
company are for the most part good.
Mr.. Carries work is too well known in
Los Angeles to need comment. Miss
Cecilia Rhoda, as Sylvia Montrose, the
retired actress. does some excellent
work, displaying very marked charms
of voice and versatility. There are
several excellent voices in the COM
pany, and the costuming is pretty and
striking.
