the big audience that had gathered at

musical piece. 1t was another case of
"the light that failed" and shortly at
ter the performance started, the break
down at the central plant put the city
in darkness.
Being assured that no more light was
possible for several hours, the bus
mess district was searched for lam
terms and candles and with the dim
light from a dozen or more of these,
the performance was continued
The forms of the actors as they went
thru the dances and drills were dimly
visible, and while the musical director
thumped out the score, the songs were
sung with unusual vim as the per-

The occasion was both novel and I'M

Nevada, Feb. S.--Despondent over i'll
health, Mr. A. E. Gilmore, a former
resident of this city, took potion
of arsenic at her home in an apart
ment house in Washington, D. c., a
few days ago and died a few hours af-
forwards In an emergency hospital.
The husband, who is employed in a
government department, found his wife
very i'll and summoned a physician.
The woman acknowledged that she had
taken poison with suicidal intent When
asked where she secured the poison
she said that she bought it while in
this city on visit three years ago,
intending to take it at that time, but
she changed her mind and deferred
taking the poison until this time. She
is a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. c..

herd, Mich, an effort was made by
Castles attorneys to get the witness
to admit that Ben Marks of Council
Bluffs was one of the men who had
posed as millionaires, but Coon was
not at all positive on this point and
on cross examination he said that he
could not swear that he knew Marks.
He said that the man whom he took
to be Marks was man who weighed
about 225 pounds and was only about
five feet eight inches in height. The
witness had evidently. from this,
picked the wrong man as Ben Marks,
as Marks is a man nearly six feet tall

The same attorneys on Feb. IA, at

Of William Scott, another alleged steer

report. Scott, who is said to be a
brother of the man acquitted in dis
trict court here Saturday, was ar
rested last June at Fredonia, Kan, but
gave the sheriff the slip and escaped.
After being placed under arrest Scott
asked permission to go home and
change his garments. The sheriff con-
sented and while a deputy guarded
the back door the sheriff watched the
front door. After what was regarded
as an unusual long time for man to
make change Of clothing and bid his
wife goodbye, the officers began to
exchange greetings, finally deciding to
enter the house and make inquiry as
to the delay. Going inside they found
Mrs. Scott calmly pursuing her house,

gagged in pairing potatoes for the noon

Their investigation disclosed the fact
that Scott, sans coat and hat, had left

a horse nearby and without the comfort
of a saddle, rode away across the
