A cut eye in the 5th round was
the only damage received by O'Brien
and none at all by Johnson. who
merely grinned when the white man
succeeded in landing fact or body

WILL BE VERY
PRETTY PLACE

Work is progressing nicely upon
the fine new building on Main street
to be occupied by the Majestic
theatre. which when completed will
be one of the smartest small play
houses in the west. The front of the
building will present a very artistic
appearance the name Majestic being
spelled out in electric lights. En-
trance is made from the front
through a twelve foot walk. The
stage is 10 by so feet, sufficiently
large to stage the majority of the
plays which are on the road. A drop
pit orchestra pit makes it possible to
turn the theatre at any time into a
vaudeville or show house.
The house will have seating ca
pacity of 450 without the gallery
which will be added whenever the
patronage warrants. Two large
double boxes are on each side of the
stage, which may be rented by pri-
vate parties and the like. The screen
is 10 by SO feet. making it possible
for pictures of this size to be por-
trayed.
In regard to fire protection, most
vital consideration, the new theatre
is amply provided.
Three large exits will empty the
house in very short time and taken
as a whole the new theatre will in
every respect be credit to the city.

Metropolitan Modes.

Where do fashions in mems dress
start and spread from? Naturally
from the center of wealth and lux
ury. from the place where the best
dressed men live and the best drilled
tailors ply their craft. That is New
York.
In announcing that their New
York style show is ready the T.. A.
Ryan Company invite the men OF
Grand Junction to see for themselves
the genuine and authentic fashions
of the season, the latest New York
fashions.
You. as a thinking man, should
distinguish between real styles and
make-believe styles, between the or
iginal and the copy. The New York
style show exhibits the models In
Benjamin clothes for men and young
men created by these tailors of ma
tional renown.
The styles are indisputably proper,
because they are New York styles.
The colors and patterns are the self
same colors and patterns shown by
the best Fifth avenue tailors and ia
vored by club and university men, to
whom cost is no consideration in
dress.
BY all means see the New York

Paris. May 1.-Two Americans
have given the boulevards lively ar
ternoon scene which almost degen-
Grated into fisticuffs. The affair
took place outside the Cafe de la
Prix at the hour when the sidewalk
tables were crowded with American
visitors. Joel v Rathbone, vice
president of the National Surety COM
pany OF New York and member OF
| the Racquet cub and ST. Nicholas
society, was sitting at table with
his wife. when his brother-in-law,
Young Carlisle Norwood. the son of a
New York millionaire lawyer, jumped
out of an automobile and rushed up.
His first words were;
You are a CRATER and sneak:
Get out of that chair so | can knock
you down"
Rathbone, who is a small, blond
man, didn't answer, but his wife beg
ged the brother to keep quiet. Young
Norwood continued to relate the fam
lily history at the top of his voice.
My father" he shouted, has al
ways been your wet-nurse. You
hadn't penny when you sneaked
into our family fifteen years ago"
To all this Mr. Rathbone made no
reply, and managed to slip away be-
fore any blows were struck. Mean
while. young Norwood explained that
the immediate cause of his anger was
that Rathbone had refused to give

Norwood, Sr., who had accompanied
the Rathbones TO Paris.
He said he believed his mother
was being kept from him by force,
and made many extraordinary allie
cations, one being that the Rath-
bones had persuaded her to make
trust fund of half a million dollars
in their favor. excluding him and his
other sister, who is the widow of the
late Thomas Coke. He added that
the recent arrest of Mrs. Coke in New
York was due to Rathbone, she hav-
ing gone to her fathers house desti-
tute with her two young children.
Norwood is not unknown in New
York. In June, 1907. he was secret
ly married in Los Angeles to a Miss
Olga Good of Philadelphia, and the
day following his marriage was ar
rested on charge of stealing
watch. The charge was not proved
and Norwood was discharged.
He was practically disowned by his
family and went to South Africa,
where he became a laborer in the
mines. When the Boer war broke
out he volunteered for active service
as a trooper and fought throughout
the campaign. Returning from South
Africa broke" he worked his pas

About Earthquakes.

The actual mystery of the earth
quake is only partly explained in
scientific research. There are things
we know about the interior of the
earth, and many things we don't
know but would like to. We are our
selves merely on the crust of the earth,
which scientists have variously esti-
mated to be from ten miles to fifty
miles below US. From the inner edge
of this crust to the center there are,
presumably, gaseous-matter substan-
ces of excessive heat. The tempera-
ture of the center of the earth, which
has been sensationally declared to be
''inconceivable'' by Flammarion and
others, is probably not so at all.
Calculating conception of these in
ner temperatures of the earth by the
increasing heat that miners find as
they descend deeper and deeper into
it, it may be assumed that the prob
able temperature of the earth is about
equal to that of an arc light Or an
electric furnace, which is about 5000
to 5000 degrees Fahrenheit. The idea
that liquid gaseous material in the
