ting Odds Shorten.
San Francisco, Calf, May 5.-Local
followers of the ring are much dis
over the failure of the fight
officials to agree at yesterdays con-

Johnson battle. Whether an agree
ment will be reached on May 16, to
which time further consideration was
postponed, remains to be seen. 1t

1.-THE MUSIC HALL GIRL
Farce Comedy Attraction at Opera
House Tonight.

The attraction at the Academy OF
Music tonight is that most pleasing
show, "The Music Hall Girl" q
farce comedy with music. The story
is both amusing and clever and is not
a hard one to follow. 1t chiefly
concerns The escapade Of dignifed
banker in music hall with music
hall girl, with whom he opened 81
bottles of wine. He Is confronted
next day In his own home BY the
music hall girl who claims that the
banker proposed marriage to her the
night before. The possibilities that
stare him in the face If he is held
10 his word-he has started an aw.
ful mixup and sees no way out OF
his dilema just then-become fear
full to contemplate. He works with
desperation born OF terror that ca n
be gagged by some Of the possibili-
ties of what a desperate man can do.
Besides being one OF the funniest
farce comedies Of the season, there
are intersperced spicy specialt;es and
song, and withal as good two hours
entertainment as GOULD be desired
The prices are 95. 50 and Il cents.

Elder Leebly and Boot Tucker

rumored that one was hit.
Those captured were put under a
$40 bond, each. and told to appear
at Mayors Court Monday morning.
Later in the evening Marion Green
was arrested for carrying concealed
weapons, and put under the same
size bond. On Monday morning
Green appeared in Court ana Waa

tence had been passed, Elder Smith
appeared, plead guilty I'd the charge
Of gambling. and was also fined SIS.
Boot Tucker decided to forfeit his
bond, so the town treasury was 500
to the good. The other parties are
all known and will no doubt be ap-
pretended, caught, and made TO foot
up their share of the burden, which
by rights should be somewhat larger.
