Last evening after having delayed
or postponed their opening on last
Saturday night on account Of the
lens for their moving picture machine
not being here, the new Colonial
theatre was closed during the second
show. after having run the first per.
iormancce. at the order OF Chief OF
Police Buckley, Fire Chief Reed and
Mayor Martin.
1t was claimed by the city oficials
that the exits in case OF fire were not
sufficient, and the officials were armed
with a warrant sworn out by City
Solicitor Haggerty. but 1t was not
found necessary to. use this paper, as
all concerned seemed TO want the
matter settled in an amieiable matter.
When the building was put up the
proper exits were planned and we're
put In the building. but because they
did not own the property on either
side of the building, the owner OF the
property goes to work and builds OBJ
strnctions on the outsIdes OF the
doors 50 that they could not be opened
outward as the law requires.
The owners Of the Theatre had car.
penters remove the hinges from the
doors SO that they could be opened
inward in a moments time. but the
officials did not think this lawful, and
ordered the Theatre closed on this
account.

was:
"~Tecumsehi"
Man Who Hated Progress.
Tecumseh was bravest and wisest
Of the Shawnee chiefs. He was born
near Springfield, O., in 1858. When
he was a young man he won fame in
