SON CRITICALLY ILL.

The many friends of MT. and Mrs. J. R. Boyer, residents of Cherry Creek, have learned that their son, John Boyer, is lying critically i'll at Flagstaff, suffering with appendi- citis. An operation was performed on him a few days ago, and doubts are expressed over his recovery. The afflicted young man was bitten by a hydrophobia skunk several months ago, in that mining district, and was successfully treated at the Pas teur Institute at Chicago. His recent affliction is all the more to be re- gretted, accordingly.

DOG PoISoNERs ARE
 BUSY IN PRESCOTT
CFrom Wednesdays DailyI

The most eontemptible of all creatures-the dog poisoner-is again abroad in Prescott. Who he is is a mystery and well indeed it is for him that he is among the mysteri- ous, for were he to be known, more than one canine owner might give him a chance to demonstrate his physical prowess.
 It is said that thus far six dogs have been poisoned in the North Granite street section of the city. Among the number are several that were of exceptional value.
 The cowardly creature who scat tered the poison along the street, is said to have put stryehnine in meat, which he dropped at various places. The city has a stringent ordinance against unlicensed dogs, but most of the canine owners are showing a eommendable spirit in visiting the city hall and paying the s license that is required. They consequent ly expect to receive some protection and it is certainty that should the poisoner be found he will be severely dealt with.
 Several months ago Tucson dog owners found a eowardly poisoner in their midst and a reward of sew eral hundred dollars was offered for the detection of the party, but de- spite every effort it was impossible to detect the guilty party.

PERPETUAL INJUNCTION
AGAINST WATER COMPANY
Orchardist Wins Fight to Pro-
tect Coyote River

The supreme court in its decision in
the case of Charles Miller against the
Bay Cities water company, sustained
the lower courts in refusing a new
trial to the water company. Miller
brought suit against the company to
restrain them from taking waste
waters from the Coyote river, above
the lower gorge, averring that the op-
erations of the company took away the
irrigation supply necessary for the or
chard properties owned by Miller.
The decree perpetually enjoins the
water company from diverting or OBJ
structing any of the waters above the
lower gorge, except for its riparian
rights.
in making its decision the court said
In part: The question of the rights
TO store flood waters and the rights by
which 1T can be obtained or exercised
is OF the greatest Importance to the
future welfare of the state In some
parts, where waste waters work de-
struction and devastation, Injunction
TO prevent storage might properly be
denied. Especially is this true in the
large interior vallc---s

MANT[LL TO PLAY
CLASSICAL DRAM
Noted Shakespearean Actor to
Present Repertoire at
the Columbia

In a season which managerial sharps
proclaim as "the worst in 80 years it
is interesting to note that the tour of
Robert ManteI, the distinguished ira
gedian, has been the most successful
in the career of that celebrated Shake
spearean artist. On all sides are strewn
the wrecks of companies which in the
ordinary season would play to pros
porous business. but which have met the
fate Of theatrical hard times
Mantell has everywhere been greeted
by large audiences, which have in many
cases tested the capacity of the thea
ters. lie began the season in Atlantic
City and moved thence to Montreal l.
Toronto. Pittsburg, Philadelphia, At
lanta. New Orleans. Kansas City, Oma-
la. Denver and Salt Lake. in all cases
the audiences were larger than those
which saw him on his previous engage
ments.
In Denver, week before last, the au-
diences which attended the nine differ
ent performances tested the capacity of
the spacious Broadway theater.
All this is of interest in connection
with the appearance of ManteIl and his
company at the Columbia theater this
week. He will offer seven different
productions of Shakespearean and ro-
mantle plays during the first of a three
weeks engagement here.
The repertoire for the first week is
as follows: Monday night, Louis XI':
Tuesday night, Macbeth; Wednesday
matinee. Romeo and Juliet; Wednes-
day night, Hamlet; Thursday and
Saturday nights, King Lear; Friday
night, "Othello," and Saturday matinee
The Merchant of Venice"

given at special prices

PLAY TREATS OF
LIVING ISSUES
"The Test" Which Blanche
Walsh viii Present, is Mod
ern in Character

Blanche Walsh comes to the Van
Ness tomorrow night in THE Test" a
drama from the pen of Jules Eckert
Goodman. 1t is the actress first ap-
pearance here in eight years, and she
declares she will astonish even her
NEST ardent admirers with her newest
role.
The play deals with the sex problem
in one of its most important phases
and brings out the argument wholly in
favor of the woman.
The scenes are laid in New York.
TIE story, briefly, is this: In the past
a man, Tretman. has stolen for the
woman he loves, Emma Eltynge
blanche Walsh). Another man, Fred
erick MeVane, promises to free him
under certain conditions. She yields,
but McVane proves false, and Tretman
goes to prison for 10 years When the
stage story opens Emma has. again fall
en- in love, this time with Arthur
Thone, a young novelist of broad
views. who knows great deal. of her
past. His sister, Peggy, meets McVane
and they become engaged.
The motive of the play is furnished
by society's opposition to the marriage
of the rich young novelist to Emma,
while the marriage of McVane and
Peggy is considered proper. In the
development of the plot the status of
a repentant man and repentant
woman is brought out in vivid con-
trast.
The author has swept deftly and in
broad generalities over causes, and
Miss Walsh brings her audience down
to fnalities.
The actress is supported by the
strongest cast with which she has ever
been surrounded. In the aggregation
are George w. Howard. for several
years leading man with Mary Manner
ing and later with Ethel Barrymore; !;
c. jay Williams, Will d. Corbett,
George Manning, Katherine Bell, Har
riet Sterling, Maurice George, Harold
Blake, Thomas Sanderson and others.

The story, which has been adapted
from foreign source by Rupert

Philippe de Sevigny for his wife,
Colinette Moreau. Formerly man of
wealth, he marries Colinette, who is an
innocent little seamstress, and they
live very happily together uptil she
dies of consumption. philippe. broken
hearted, hastens from Paris, where he
has lived with his wife and goes to
America. Some time later he receives
letter from a Partisan friend tell
ing him of the discovery of a ballet
girl who bears a most wonderful re-
semblance to Colinette. Philippe, who
since his wife's death, has been en-
deavoring to finish a portrait he had
begun, hurries back to Paris, where. at
a masked ball, he is introduced to Elika
Marescot. The girl to all outward ap-
pearances is the living image of CO.
linette, and Philippe induces her to
pose for the picture. However the lit
tie ballet girl is as wicked as the dead
woman was good. How Philippe trans
forms her furnishes the main theme of
a most interesting and dramatic story
Elika turns out to be a woman of domi-
mating personality and one entirely
worthy of the respect and love of the

or ilo quaint country girl, Sis Hopkins,
combined with the rare art of Miss

AS the odd country girl who has

of women to bring the personal ele
