A few years ago the coming of
good musical company to our city
was a great event and always filled
the house with a fine audience Of
late, musical entertainments have
not been so freely patronized here.
Why? Simply because the usual
programs were too classical and cold
for the average auditor. In the pro-
gram to be given by the Schubert
Symphony Club and Lady Quartette,
on January %, at the Pavilion, we
have a musical entertainment that is
highly artistic and also enjoyable
from first to last. Our readers will
do we'll to remember that it is not
often that we are offered such a
feast of musical good things as the
Schubert's program contains.

The game between the girls of the
Tonopah club and the Ladies' Audi
forum club of Goldfield was victory
for the latter. The Goldfielder's
knowledge of the rules was some
what poor and the refereeing of the
game was worse, but, nevertheless,
the game was, exciting. The final
score was nineteen to three. The
lineup of the teams was as follows:
Tonopah-Florence Mcneil, Nell

and the first man that asked for

fell to the floor exhausted. One OF
the features of the contest was the
goal throwing of Arthur Boggs. who
threw the majority OF the goals and
mostly from difficult points. One ad-

ANOTHER MURDERER IS IN JAIL
Negro Wanted on Old Charge Caught
by Constable McCalpin

Confining his wanderings to a ra-
idius OF less than one hundred miles
of the scene OF his crime, John Allen
alias Dock Charley alias Charley
OF murder, succeeded IN evading the
officers nearly three years, but he is
now safely behind the jail bars Al
len is now an inmate OF the county
jail where he will be held until he
makes bond or until his case is dis
posed of in the courts.
Allen was caught at Mckinney
Thursday by Constable McCalpin of
WaNahachia He WAS brought here
Friday morning and placed in jail.
He had been in Mckinney three or
four months, working part of the
time on the streets of chat city.
When arrested by Officer McCaipin
he negro was out of employment.
The crime of murder pending
against Allen was committed near
India in the winter OF 1906 when he
! shot and killed another negro named
| Dock Page Page and Allen, alone
with other negroes, came from
| South Texas to pick cotton. They
were at work on farm near India
when it is said Allen became offend
! ed at Page over some trivial mat
| ter. Arming himself with a six
| shooter he went to the house where
Page was staying and began shoot
ing at him Page ran from his assail-
ant but was pursued and shot to
death. Allen made his escape before
officers reached the scene of the
tragedy and all efforts to locate him
proved futile until few days ago
when Constable McCalpin learned
that he was at Mckinney. AT that
place he was going under the name
! of Charley Wilson. Officer McCalpin
went to Mckinney Thursday morn
, ing and soon had the fugitive under
arrest.
Since Incarceration in the county
/ Jail Allen has refused to discuss the
Icrime charged against him. Although
( he was insistent that he was not the
NEGRO wanted he has been positively
/ identified by viii Worth, colored,
I who came here Friday from Ferris
! to see the prisoner. AT the February
term of court in 1907, Allen was in
dicted for murder.
