JOHN CURTIN INJURED.
Sustains a Broken Leg as Result of
Fall on Ice i'm His Yard.

Monday evening Mr.. John Curtin
had the misfortune to fall on the
icy ground in his yard and suffered
the breaking of his left leg between
the knee and the hip. Mr. Curtin
was leading a horse that had been
turned out in the horse lot during
the day, into the barn for the night,
and as he approached the barn,
stepped on snowy place that had
glary ice underneath, falling and
sustaining the above injury.
DR.. F. w. Daubney was immedi-
ately called and set the fracture,
putting the bones back into place in
very satisfactory manner, relev-
ing MIR. Curtin of the pain. The
services of a trained nurse were i'm
mediately secured also, and at last
reports he was resting easily. AL
though Mr.. Curtin is IS years of
age, he is possessed of a rugged
constitution and strong vitality, and
while the injury will lay him up for
a number of weeks, we predict and
all hope to see Mr.. Curtin out and
well again in the shortest possible
time,

A BIG EVENT.
ing to the Grand on
February Bird.

Miss Nobody from Starland," the
novelty musical comedy production
which held the stage of the Princess
theatre, Chicago, for an entire sea-
son is billed to appear in this city
at the Grand Friday evening, Feb.
3rd, for one night only. The pro-
duction will be produced here for
the first time and comes direct from
its home in Chicago exactly as pro-
duced there with positively the same
cast and chorus, same wonderful
scenic effects and no changes what
ever. Miss Nobody from Starland'
differs quite a bit from Mr. Mort
H. Singers THE Flirting Princess
in this way: THE Flirting Prin-
cess was known as a farce comedy
with music on an elaborate plan,
whereas Miss Nobody from Star
land" is a musical comedy produc-
ton of sterling value A great deal
of money has been spent to make
this attraction one of the most daz-
zling scenic investures ever produc-
ed in the city of Chicago. A promin-
ent business man, although not a
critic on any newspaper, still well
versed in things theatrical was ask
ed by Mr.. Singer after the first night
of its production in Chicago, wheth-
er he enjoyed the show. He there
upon answered that he never wit
messed a funnier scene in his life
than the big comedy dress rehearsal
scene in the second act. He said,
"Mr. Singer, you literally take your
audience out of their seats, back on
the stage and show them the diff
culties encountered on the other side
of the foot lights on a first night.
There is a fine spirit of travesty all
through the scene which makes it
one of the leading, noteworthy the
atrical accomplishments of the sea-
SON.
The all-star cast is headed by
Olive Vail and includes America s
prettiest chorus.
