A College Drama.

A play new to Waukegan was given
at the Swartz theater last night, when
William Macauley was presented in
Classmates" written by William G.
DeMille and Margaret TurnbuH. It is
conventional college story of two
fellows fighting for the same girl, with
circumstances arising to point against
the hero, and these being eventually
cleared up to the eminent satisfaction
of all. In the present instance the
college happens to be West Point, and
this gives the young fellows the op-
portunity to wear cadet uniforms. The
action begins on graduation day Dun
can Irving and Bert Stafford are from
South Carolina and in love with the
same girl, Sylvia Randolph. Bert gets
Duncans father under the influence of
liquor and the son resents the insult
with a blow at his rivals nose. For
this he is disgraced and the girl gives
her consent to Bert.
The latter then undertakes a trip
to South America to make fortune,
but is lost in the jungle. A party is
organized to rescue him, headed by
his rival. The two meet in the jungle,
after they, too, have lost their way.
All are ready to succumb, when hel.
iograph message bids them take cour-
age while their rescue is approaching
with the main party. When they all
get back to civilization things are
cleared up. The girl, of course, loved
Duncan from the first, and so the

finale is what might have been tntici-
pated from the beginning.
The play is constructed along the
usual lines of these dramas and the
production is very elaborate one,
the scene of the jungle being especially
effective. William Macauley has a
good style and a pleasing robustness
and does well as Duncan Irving. Har-
ry Ellis supplies the humor as Bubby
Drumble. Richard MacDowell makes
Bert Stafford as congenial as possible.
Miss Eleanor Franklin is pretty and
engaging Sylvia Randolph. Edna Rol-
and is good as Phyllis Stafford. Vir-
ginia Bannister portrays Mrs. Stafford
in very pleasing manner. The others
in the cast are very satisfactory, and
the performance satisfactory in every
respect.-Waukegan, (Ill) Daily News.

WOODS THANKFUL
BULLET MISSED
Young Law Student Who Attempted
Suicide in okmuIeee Jail Returns
to Family Free Man.

Okmulgee, Okla, Nov. 29.-Sixteen
days ago, Don Woods, a young law
student and real estate man of %
years, tried to take his own life in a
cell in the county Jail by shooting
himself through the heart. 1t was
the day he was to be sentenced by
Judge Barnum of the district court.
Yesterday afternoon he walked out
of court free man, apparently restor-
ed to health. "devoutly thankful" as
he put it himself, that the bullet miss
ed it's mark by hairs breadth, and
that he can return to his wife and
little children to whom he wrote such
tender letters few minutes before
he fired the shot.
Woods was charged with selling two
head of cattle that were given him to
care for while he lived near Mounds.
This was two years ago. He left the
country, but returned to Mounds in
September, and was arrested. He
went to Jail, but becoming extremely
despondent because of the disgrace
brought upon his wife and child he
pleaded guilty when arraigned, and
was taken back to jail without the
Judge or the court knowing anything
about his case.
On the day Of the sentence, Satur-
day, November II, he shot himself
with a "vest-pocket" revolver which
he had smuggled into the Jail with
him. He had written seven or eight
letters, one to his wife, asking her
forgiveness, one to the public clearing
the sheriff and the jailer, thanking
them for their kind treatment, one to
a friend relative to arrange his busi-
ness affairs after death, one to the
man who prosecuted him in which he
forgave him, and finally one to Judge
Barnum, in which his actions were ex-
planned This letter was never given
to the public, but it explained many
things that the public did not under
stand, and caused Judge Barnum to
go to the hospital where Woods lay
lowering between life and death, and
to tell him that he need have no fear
of punishment if he should recover
From that day, Woods condition inn
proved rapidly, and many believe that
it was the good news brought to him
by the judge that caused him to get
we'll so quickly

A VERY BAD M|X-UP
Four Men Have Wounds, Three Of
Them Quite Serious.

Four Men Have Wounds, Three of
Them Quite Serious.
A shooting and cutting ARRAY
that was q lively affair, occurred
early Monday morning on the
Croker farm at Absaraka. The
names of some of the men are not
obtainable, being withheld, it is
said until warrents are issued,
which, owing to the serious con-
dition Of some of the victims,
may be delayed.
The story that seems to be &C
cepted is that a sheepherder
named Gorkey, from Montana,
who was here during threshing
season, was occupying a bunk
with a companion, and during
the night attempted some things
that we're not satisfactory to his
bedfellow, and over which in the
morning some hot words we're
passed. Then Gorkey goes out,
sharpens up his knife, and re-
turning to the house, attempts
ageneral cutting up of his nights
sleeping companion and others
who had sided against him. He
stabbed the first man, penetrat-
ing a lung, it is said, cut another
badly over the heart and gashed
another in the hand. Then a gun
was brought into play and Cor
key wasgiven a bullet in his back,
which entered a kidney, after
which he was dubbed in such a
manner as to break his jaw.
Gorkey and the men stabbed
were brought in here as soon as
possible, in an auto, and given
preliminary treatment by a ply
sician. after which they were
taken to Fargo, and are now in
the county hospital. The fourth
man hurt was secured after an
extra run to the farm by officers.
The three men that got injuries
from Gorkey's knife, are said to
be men who we're held up on the
train last week by Casey and
furnished the information lead
ing to that mans arrest. One of
the three was the bedfellow of
Gorkey at the Croker farm, and
the other two probably Clipped
in when the controversy over
events of the night took place
