The parish of Livingston has, per-
haps, the most virgin forest land of
the State or even the South. 1t re-

a year ago. For several years the
timber men have been buying the
land until now one corporation owns
about $4,000 acres, mostly of pine
land. The hard wood is yet mostly
held in small tracts, and is being
much sought after by mill men and
exporters.

How many buffalo remain of all
the mighty hosts that within the
memory of living man roamed the

statement from Washington gave the
total number of North American buff
falo as 1904, conservative estimate

States is the Corbin herd, belonging

range OF forty square miles in Blue
Mountain Forest. where they fend for
themselves for seven months of the
year. The experience of finding their
own summer living in comparative
ly cold climate has made sturdy in
dividuals of this herd, which some
eighteen years ago had its origin in a
nucleus Of thirty head.

Success.

Harry Crow, C. A. Grover, Tom Pow
ell, Charles Boher. Doc Reynolds,
Clarence Staples, Georgia Lambert,
Helen Campbell and Zula Taylor.

made hit with the audience, which
numbered about six hundred. Miss
Lambert, the accomplished musician,
played an important part in the play,
and used her musical talent for aid
Mr.. Harry Crow sang several selec-
lions which brought many cheers
from the audience. Miss Helen
Campbell and Miss Zula Taylor played
their parts exceptionally well.
Little Miss Marguerite Snyder sang
between the first two acts the song
entitled Dear Old East Side" which
was also well received. Her voice for
miss of her years is exceptionally
strong and could be heard we'll all
over the big Auditorium;
Mr. w. F. Roehr contributed several
numbers on the pipe organ. One,
"Old Kentucky Home" was played
by request, and suited the audience,
judging by the applause.
The scenery was donated by Roy
Crawford which made a good setting
for the play. The play has been
worked up through difficulties and on
whole was a success.
The association has started the park
movement, and the play last night was
the first annual benefit fund. They
hope in the near future to start an
other benefit which will add to the
park fund.
When the park on the East side is
established and the residents of the
East side will have a, place of recrea-
ton, as well as the addition of beauty
to their part of town, it will be a
movement that everyone will be proud
of. The proceeds of the play have
not yet been made known. They will
be turned over imm ediateIy to the city

The Gordon-Munn case is closed as
far as the introduction of testimony is
concerned and today the court, law
yers and witnesses as we'll as the in
terested parties have taken well
earned rest. The arguments of the
attorneys in the case will be heard by
Judge Dana Thursday morning and
after their completion there is pos
sibility of a decision at any time.
The fight for the Gordon fortune
has been a long drawn out and tire
some affair and the end will be well
coined by all of those interested in
the case. The fact that the trial ex-
cepting the lawyers arguments has
been concluded does not necessarily
mean that a decision will be handed
down by Judge Dana Immediately.
According to the lawyers who have
tried the case it has been one fraught
with many difficult legal phases and
has been a most interesting one from
every standpoint. Judge Dana's de-
cision may be made at once or the
case may be taken under advisement
and the decision rendered at some fu-
ture date the latter action being the
most likely.

High School Students Scramble for
Seats at Play.

When it comes to enthusiasm for
school enterprises the palm must be
given to the Topeka high school stud
ents. A long line of students lined up
in front of Rowley's drug store after
midnight and maintained an all night
vigil waiting for the opening of the
chart of seats for the play 1.-The Days
of 49, which will be played at the
Grand Friday night. The chart opened
at eight o'clock this morning and by
the time of opening there was a long
line which clamored for admission and
which extended well up the street.
The entire number however was ac-
commodated in about an hour. There
were but few who wanted large num-
Der of seats, most of the students just
wanting one for himself and another
right beside it for his girl
One boy who wanted ten seats ar
rived in line at 8 o'clock this morning
and found forty-three ahead of him.
The entire house was not sold out
There were some good seats left on the
lower floor and many in the gallery.
