According to Mr. Keene, Mr.. Shill

came to him and stated that he was
very anxious to sell. about this time
Incl came along from Phoenix and
proved by many recommends that he
was barber. Incl wanted to buy the
shop but he did not have the means
and he enlisted Keene in his project
with the result that Mr.. Keene bought
the shop and put Incl in charge with
the understanding that the proceeds
be divided up every Saturday night.
After the first Saturday night. Mr..
Keene states that Incl suggested that
he would also like to board with the
owner of the shop. The end of the
month came, however and Incl said
nothing about settling his board bill.
Mr.. Keene says that he wondered at
this but said nothing thinking that the

TOGGERY BIG FOUR SALE
OPENS WITH A RUSH
THE LADIES DEPARTMENT WAS
CROWDED FROM EARLY
MORNING TILL NIGHT.
The Republican Has Been the Prin-
cipal Medium Of Advertising.

The Toggery Big 4 sale opened with
a rush yesterday morning which is
seldom equalled in Mesa and increased
throughout the day until evening II
became a perfect jam. The ladies es-
pecially. were persistent in the bargain
hunting and the rear part of the es-
tablishment which is given over to the
ladies' department was crowded almost
to suffocation.
The sale is one which appeals to the
average buyer very strongly on &C
count of the seasonable goods being
a feature of the slaughter in prices.
However, the TOggery has been as
sisted. in spreading the news of this
sale principally by The Republican
who has very vigorously placed the
many bargains before the general pub
lie for the last several days.

- Mesa Department
J.W.LEBLANcH, SIOUX
WANTED BY OFFICERS
1T rs CHARGED THAT HE is AN
lMPoSToR TO A HIGH
DEGREE.
Claimed To Be Representative Of
the Indian Department at Wash
inoton.

J. w. LeBlanch,. purporting to be a
representative of the United States
Indian affairs. and touring the country
in the interests of the Indians, arrived
in Mesa something over three weeks
ago and Immediately began an investi-
CATION of the reservation in the vicin-
ity of Mesa. There Is no ques ton but
what LeBlanch was honest in his
claims that he was an Indian.
A warrant has been sworn out by
Loran Dana who let LeBlaIch have
several livery rigs that have not been
settled for. The Golden Rule stables.
of which Mr.. Dana is proprieto is not
the only concern that finds itself shy
as a result of the Indians visit.
When LeBlanch struck town it did
not take the populace long to find out
that a newcomer was in town for he
carries a very striking face around
with him and attracts attention where
ever he goes. He represented himself
to be a representative of the San
Jose Indian association. an organiza-
tion effected by Indians and for their
betterment He was q rather smooth
talker. and claimed to be a graduate
OF Portland college. and that he had
attended Carlisle for a time. He fur
Their state, that he had made a study
Of the Indian languages and that he
had mastered nine of them.
Ee went out to the reservations from
Mesa and seemed to work with con-
siderable enthusiasm. He addressed
the Indians on several occasions and
soon had their good will. II has been
stated that he secured several loans
from them but this is denied He is
known to have secured bans from
parties in the city but that the reser-
walton Indians did not advance him
any money.
The question Of LeBlanch being a
department man has been taken up
with the authorities at Washington
and the reply has reached here from
them to the effect that no such indi-
vidual Is in the government employ fol
the purpose of investigating Indian af
fairs
Constable Burton had a warrant foI
the arrest of LeBlanch and has gone
to Sacaton to make his arrest. but
up until a late hour last night the of
ficer had not arrived or il he had ar.
rived he could not be located.

ornately conventional. Henry w. OFT
is a very junior partner indeed.
The sketch is worth seeing, If you
have strong nerves and an instinct for
melodrama. Artistically, it is one of
the most commanding plays presented
Of late at the Orpheum.
Misses Nell Lockwood and Hazel
Bryson, Los Angeles young women
who have swept conqueringly over the
Orpheum circuit, returned to their
native heath in a series of songs and
whistling selections. They were well
received, and displayed both dramatic
and musical abilities of note. The
three bounding Gordons somersault in
variety of ways which appear to
satisfy the gallery, and the Bootblack
Yquartet sing harmoniously together.
The latter performers could we'll af-
ford to spare the cheap comedy with
which they mar their rendition of the
Lucia" sextet. There are some things
beautiful enough to enjoy without
laughing.
Hal odfrey and company present a
new playlet, "A Very Bad Boy" in
which the most satisfying situation is
the way the "boy" eventually gets
even with his grotesque tormentors.
The characters are all mere distorted
caricatures, and except Mr.. Godfrey's
are acted as such, apparently by de-
sign. There is not a little wit in the
sketch and some family ludicrous
horseplay.
Mile. Bianci in her dances, Keno

"THE DRUMS OF DOOM" AT
ORPHEUM, REAL MELODRAMA

"The Drums of Doom" a melo-
dramatic playlet by Gerald Villiers
Stuart, headlines the new Orpheum
bill. 1t tells the tragic and heart
searching story of a wifes losing battle
to save her husband from the electric
chair. The husband has slain to
avenge an insult aimed at her by his
enemy. He has strangled his victim
with his naked hands. The violence Of
his deed has reused public opinion
against the murderer but by political
influence the wifes lawyer obtains a
secret pardon. The crowd awaits the
expected execution in the court below
the lawyers office, where the wife is
preparing to welcome the prisoner
when released. In conversation be-
tween the lawyer and the woman the
motive for the killing-suppressed at
the trial to spare her shame-is
divulged. Under questions she also
admits that certain incidents in her
unmarried past might be barred on the
stand, and that her husband has
chosen death rather than expose her
reputation to such an attack.
While the lawyer is hesitating as to
his course, and while the shouts of
the angry crowd arises from below the
junior partner of the firm comes in.
One look at his face and we know that
hope is gone. The mob has surround
ed the 1ail and VIII not let the bearer
of the pardon pass. Suddenly there is
the leaden stroke of a bell outside and
then the solemn strains of the death
march. BY a sort of spiritual instinct
the wife seems to feel what is taking
place without while her mind is yet
ignorant Of it. Then she is called to
the telephone and in moment knows
the truth AS she sways toward the
open window a bolt from the sky
strikes her dead, as if in defiance of
the human law which has severed her
from her mate. The voices of the
thunder, not those of the mob, are the
drums of doom.
1t is a powerful and an impressive
sketch. in which the spirit of terror
consistently keeps in allegiance the
grewsome and even the pathetic
aspects OF the action We are too
awed by the story, and too interested
in it, to feel more than momentary
pity for the characters. The element
of suspense is seldom more dexterous-
ly employed in vaudeville.
Miss Minnie Seligman, as the wife,
skillfully portrayed, in voice and
feature the blending of Joy love, fear
and inner shame which the varied
character demands. AS vivid picture
of true wifehood this character is made
brilliantly and healthily ideal. William
Bramwell is the attorney. He at times
is as overeXuberant as George Blake,
in the role of hotel manager, is

CLAIMS DEATH
PENALTY PAID
PATRICK ASKS HE BE GIVEN
HIS FREEDOM
SAYS UNDER LAW DEBT TO
STATE is SETTLED
Declares His constitutional Right
Was Transgressed When Or
dered to Serve Another Period
of Solitary Confinement

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Albert It.
Patrick, whose sentence of death for
the murder of William Marsh Rice was
commuted to life imprisonment at Sing
Sing, appeared today before the appel
late division of the supreme court in
Brooklyn to argue that within the law
he already had suffered death and thus
had paid his debt to the state in full
and should be set free.
Patrick contends that the solitary
confinement preceding electrocution
had been held by the supreme court of
the United States to be part of the PEN
atty decreed in a death sentence.
He served that time in full, and now
makes the point that when the court of
appeals reafirmed the decision of the
court of conviction and set new date
for execution it transgressed his con-
stitutional right in ordering him to
serve another period of solitary con-
finement, thereby duplicating a punish
ment he had suffered already.
The failure of the warden to electro
cute in compliance with the first order
of the court, argues Patrick, consti-
tutes an act of n-feasance.
Patrick was not ready to proceed with
his argument today, and at his request
the matter was adjourned to Thursday
next.
