ISLANDER SUIT
IS PROMISED.
Learned This Afternoon From an Au-
thorltatlve Source that D. E.
Reeves Will Suit Viii
liam sinton.
CHARGE rs SENSATIONAL
1t is Said That Basis for Petition are
Letters Written by sinton Which
Caused Reeves Dis
charge.

According to statement made this
afternoon by Attorney e. L. McCoid,
of the law firm of Hughes & McCoid,
a suit for their client, d. E. Reeves,
the local coal dealer, will be brought
against William Sinton, in which dam
ages will be asked for alleged SANDER.
1t was further learned from the at
torney that this action would be insti-
tuted in a few days and that the
amount asked for would in all proba-
bility be $4,000. He said that the basis
for the suit are letters sent by Mr.
Sinton to the B. & B. Coal company,
of Peoria, which ultimately resulted
In Mr.. Reeves being discharged from
the service of the firm.
To lena interest to the sensational
suit was the encounter between these
two business men, which is said to
have taken place yesterday afternoon,
between the hours of 4 and o'clock,
in the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
uptown freight house. In this af-
fray, supposed to have ben started In
passing words, Reeves drew the rough
end of it, when he caught an iron
weight in a glancing manner on the
side of his head.

ILLINOIS FARMER
AND HIS HOGS
Man from Across River Enjoyed Merry
Chase After Animals When Awoke
by Runaway Team.

An Illinois farmer, chasing his two
hogs was the sight which greeted peo-
pie in the vicinity of Blondeau and
Water streets this afternoon, and also
4 runaway team, which narrowly es-
capped running to self-destruction.
1t all happened about o'clock. A
team attached to local feed wagon
was stationed near First and Blon-
deau. At an opportune time the team
plunged from its mooring place and
darted down the steep Blondeau street
hill headed straight for the bridge
or river, it was impossible to tell
which. When Water street was
reached the team lunged to the right
and collided with the innocent Hi
nois farmer. The farmer as we'll as
his hogs and wagon were upset. Sud
denly liberated, the hogs dashed of
toward the bridge, with the farmer
close behind, and commanding them
to halt. Running close together the
hogs eluded pursuit for some distance.
Finally the farmer reached them and
grabbed for the animals like a man
trying to catch a creased pig. He
was successful and returned to the
wagon with his prizes.

.SHUFFELING CARDS
FOR A new deal
What Next step to be Enacted in Nov
ing Picture Controversy is Not
Known at Present
Time.
TO INVOLVE LITIGATION?
If cause is Taken to Court it is Likely
That Mayor of Will View
Case From the Side
Lines.

President Rev. Harry B. Foster of
the Ministerial Association, is Snuff
cling the cards for new deal in the
Sunday theatre controversy, but the
hands are not likely to be dealt until
after the next regular meeting of the
organization which will be held Mon
day. Nothing new was enacted today
in the action that may involve court
litigation and Rev. Foster, after eX-
pressing surprise over the publication
of his letter yesterday given to the
press by Mayor Off, refused to men
ton the next step that would be taken.
By taking the matter under advise
ment as he has, Mayor Off apparently
has excluded himself from entangle-
ments that may follow, for if the min
listers intend to push their cause he
will likely view it as court specta-
tor
There are several interesting phases
| in Sunday theatre closing and should
the cause be brought into courts it
would serve as a test case. A possi-
Bile evasion of the law has been offer
ed by one of the many persons, who
have been following it with consider
able interest. 1t is a condition in
which tickets might be disposed of on
Saturday or during the week and used
on Sunday. This, he holds, would eli
inmate the sale or transfer of property
on the Sabbath. 1t is also argued

under the state law then theatre man

mum. But theatre managers do not
believe they are violating any laws n
running as they do.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"a Girl at the Heinz

1t would be hard, it is said, to find
a better company, more capable prin
cipals, prettier girls, more laughable
humor and SURPRISING scenery than H.
HI. Frazee offers in "a Girl at the
Helm" which will be seen at the
Grand opera house next Friday night.
This is one of the La Sale theater
successes. There is a splendid plot
in the play, which hinges on motor
boat race with the hand of the girl
as stake. The nature of the play it.
self demands the most attractive and
beautiful women and it is also neces-
sary for them to be singers of bet
ter quality than is usually required
for musical comedy. The piece is SO
full of ginger, crisp in wit, though
free from Objectionable dialogue, that
not for one moment must there be
sign OF drag nor any forced comedy
effort The humor must be some
thing spontaneous throughout, with
the whirl of girls and the hum of
voices as justifying accompani-
ment.
Incidentally there is something
more than an attenuated string on
which to have a plot of specialties
which is a grateful relief to those
who have been surfeited with mu-
steal comedies made up of vaudeville
turns grouped together amid chorus
of panatella shapes. The action, mu-
sic, dancing, singing and dialogue of
the play must be good to make good
and that it has made good and is
still making good is evidenced by the
good comments made of the produc-
| ton by all the travelling men who
have seen it as they hustle through
| the country, for as a rule, while trav'
cling men never knock any perform
ance, they seldom boost one unless il
is above the average.
The cast is above par and is headed
by Billy Clifford most popular fun
maker, assisted by sixty big and little
girl helpers.
