Naylor and wife, who are in charge of
the mission affairs. All of the 80
children who attend the mission
school, attended the Christmas exer-
cises and were given parts in the pro-
gram.
Nettie Tork, one of the Indians on
the reservation, was in Topeka shop

reservation. She missed her train to
Mayetta and chartered a motor car
that she might return home in time
for the celebration. The woman had
an important part in the evening s
program and exhibited the enthusiasm
of many members of the tribe when

PATTERSON INSANE
Condition Results From Spree Lasting
Five Years.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 27.-When NAL
colin c. Patterson. son of former Gov
ernor Malcolm R. Patterson, of Ten
neSSee, shot and dangerously wounded
r. T. Seal at Port Orchard, December
z, he was suffering from alcoholic
epilepsy. or "dipsomania, induced by
drinking continuously for five years..
This was the finding of the lunacy
commission that sat at Port Orchard
to hear the insanity complaint filed
against young Patterson by his father.
The lunacy commission reported that
it was dangerous to permit Patterson
to be at large and recommended that
he be confined in some institution
In accordance with the finding, the
defense asked that Judge A. W. Frater
of Seattle, who presided at the hear
ing, issue an order permitting former
Governor Patterson to take his son
back to Memphis for treatment. This
motion was opposed by Prosecutor
Thomas Stevenson, who asked for a
stay of execution so that he could ap-
peal to the supreme court for a writ
Of prohibition restraining the removal
of Patterson from this state until af-
ter he had stood trial on a charge of
assault with intent to kill for the
shooting of Seal.
Judge Frater granted a stay of
three days and if the appeal is not
perfected at the end of that time Pat
terson will be released to the custody
Of his father under $4,000 bond to
guarantee that he will not return to
this state.

Prototypes of Wallingford, the
shrewd financial conspirator of the
comedy classic, are to be found in
countless numbers, but to vitaIize and
visualize the type as the author has
done, to present him in a way that
awalens the sympathy and compels
the love of an audience which, though
realizing that he is no more nor less
than commercial buccaneer, are still
in accord with his get-rich-quick
schemes, is a piece of stage craft
equalled by few playwrights of modern
times.

The distinct success of Charles Klein's
drama. The Gamblers" which comes
to the Grand on Tuesday, January 2,
is the result of the authors talent for
grasping strong situations out of cur
rent events and giving them to the
stage with naturalness and precision of
detail. The story of 1.-The Gamblers
has to do with the transactions of
number of high fnanciers of the mod
ern school. So skilfully is Mr.. Klein's
play constructed that it established the
record for long runs among serious
dramas of last season in New York.

1.-The West, as we all know, affords
an ample field for such work but the

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Aug. 4.-"There is
no irrigation state in the West that

Homesteaders Without Cost.

Homesteaders Without Cost.
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 4.-Destitute
'homesteaders west of the Missouri
river in South Dakota won't have to
pay freight on hay, fodder and feed
crops for their livestock. The Mil
waukee railroad, which laps the ter
ritory extensively, has voluteered to
give the settlers free freight. Other
railroads are expected to follow the
action of the Milwaukee.
The action of the railroads was
forced upon them by the dire straits
in which the homesteaders now find
themselves in. On account OF the
severe .drouths, they have not had a
crop for two years. Many are dis
couraged and are abandoning their
claims.
Appeals were made to the railroads
by state officials, old settlers and
commercial bodies.
