to his associates, who viii always low
ingly remember him as a true friend
We wish to convey 10 his family this
feeble expression Of our love and sor-
row and to offer them our heartfelt
sympathy.

decorations, one opposite the other and
passing through the entire thickness.
Two of the organs were badly torn
and there was another laceration in

ed regarding Lynch's condition at the
jail and said he appeared morose but
answered questions properly, and not
like an insane man. Judge Wheeler
gave Lynch not less than one nor more
than two years in state prison.

then came up and Attorneys Hull and
Barnes argued a motion to have the
verdict set aside, which Judge Wheel
er denied. He was given not less
than one nor more than three years in

The Man From Montana Well Pre-
scented at Spiritual Academy,

AT the Spiritual academy on Park
street on Wednesday evening, the
Union dramatic club scored one of
the strongest hits in the series of
Lays they have given by presenting
The Man From Montana before an
audience OF good dimensions which
was kept in a continual state of ap-
plause to show their appreciation Of
every good feature.
The play covers three scenes, the
first two in Senator Withrow's draw
ing room and the last in the living
room of the Montana mining camp
five months later. The capable cast
was the following:

every requirement demanded Of him
and was ably seconded by Mr.. BIinn as
the other of two fathers who find it
difficult to regulate the affections Of
their children. Messrs. Carroll and
Leete with Miss Blackstone and Mrs
Bnnn were admirably cast as the chill
dren whom Cupid leads contrary to the
parents plans. There is plenty Of good
comedy in which the honors lie be-
tween Mr.. Dobbrow, Mrs. Burdick and
Mrs. Carroll.
The music for the evening was ar
ranged and played by Mr.. and Mrs.
