COMEDIAN HURT IN
FIGHT IN THEATER
POLICE INVESTIGATE CONTEST
BEHIND SCENES
Stage Hand at the Grand Alleged to
Have InsuIted Woman and
Attacked Ferris
Hartman

A disturbance behind the scenes at
the Grand opera house last night for a
time threatened to cause a postpone
ment of the performance of TT Hap
pened in Nordland."
samuel Dugan, a house policeman
and at present employed as a stage
hand at the Grand, and Ferris Hart
man, the head of the opera company
which is playing there, were the COM
batants.
According to the reports to the po-
lice, Dugan used insulting language to
Mrs. Ferris Hartman.
Ferris Hartman, when told Of the in
cident, went to Dugan to resent the
language used toward his wife, and
Dugan is said to have assaulted and
knocked the comedian down and so Sc
riously injured him that for a time it
was thought the evening performance
would have to be postponed. Hartman,
however, went on in his part and
played the role through the night.
Dugan appeared at the police station
later in the evening and stated to Lieu
tenant Williams, who was in charge,
his version Of the affair. He said he
had been aggravated by Hartman for
several weeks, and that their personal
feeling was the cause of the row.
Two police etectives-Murray and
McCann-investigat the case, but as
no complaint was laid no arrests were
made.
When a Herald reporter went to the
theater to ask for information concern
ing the affair he asked Manager Thorn
as G. Baker for a program to verify
a name and was ordered from the lob
by of the theater. Later Manager
Baker denied that any row had taken
place in the theater or that there had
been any difficulty at all.

WOMEN SAY THREATS
INTIMIDATED THEM
Action Begun to Recover Possession
of Property on Grand Avenue
Which Was Leased to
C. C CoIyear

Alleging that they had been forced
by threats Of criminal proceedings to
turn over the rooming house at 1872
South Grand avenue, which they leased
in June last for a term of ten years,
together with stocks and bonds valued
at about $4,000, Jane Adams and Julia
Murphy filed suit in the superior court
yesterday against G. G. Colyear in
which damages of $685. are asked.
They also demand a cancellation Of
the agreement by which their property
was transferred to him.
The women say they leased the
rooming house more than six months
ago and the profits reached $500 a
month. Colyear told them on Deem
Der IL, they say, that the leaser was
about to dispossess them and that
criminal complaints were about to be
placed against them. Being strangers
and unfamiliar with business and the
law. they say they turned over the
premises and stock to him.
