THE ACADEMY.
"Through Death Valley"

A play which includes the fiannel-shirt-
and-StetSon-hat hero of what is popu-
larly supposed to represent a type of
manly maSculinity back in the days when
Mor!nanism held full sway in Utah was
witnessed by an enthusiastic audience 1T
both holiday performances at the Acad-
e,ny. The play teens with all the WELL
known phrases that are dear to the
hearts Of all youngsters who read with
bated breath the penny dreadfuls that
so forcibly set forth the adventures of
Jim Barton. Indian Pete. and Bess the
beautiful gal" With righteous tndigna
ton We witness the success of the vii
laIns. yet down in our hearts we know
they are going to get theirs before
the final curtain: and with this end in
view We applaud strenuously when right
triumphs and hiss venomously when the
villain once more foils the hero.
The scenes of the play are laid back
in the early SOS. and the plot resembles
that tolc in the confession of the mur-
derer in Conan Doyle's Sign Of the
Four" Dan Hamilton discovers gold on
his claim, near Provo,c Utah. and Noah
Claypool. an elder Of the Norman
Church, covets his claim. Hamilton is
killed by the avenging angels, and his
daughter Bess held to become one of the
wives Of Claypoors son, Ike. Jim Bar
ton, who is in love with Bess. tries to
take the Hamilton family out of Utah,
but the avengers follow close on the
trail, and in one OF the numerous skirm-
ishes Jimrs brother Jack Is killed by Ike
Gray Wolf, a good Indian, Is always on
hand at the right time, either to save
some one or to dispatch one or two Of
the villains He saves Barton from dying
Of the bite of a captive rattler. which is
tied by a thong which will stretch dur
ing the coming storm, Barton being
staked out on the ground. This piece OF
Geronimo theatricals' is one Of the
spectacular climaxes of the performance.
In the end the Claypools are killed and
good is triumphant, the orchestra plays
'"The Star Spangied Banner" and the
audience arises and files out. wiping its
eyes or coughing from the powder smoke
from the many guns.
Charles L. Crane is excellent as Jim
Barton, and is never guilty of over
acting, which is the failing of many

fact that at both performances yes,er-

deadly assault on a young son OF Dis

Winston for trial within the next few
days. The negro admits his identity.
Hoskins was arrested at Mooresville
Tuesday and sentenced to thirty days
on the roads for beating rides on
trains. He was brought to jail here
Wednesday and Deputy Sheriff Gill
bert, the jailer, observed that he fit
ted the description of the boy wanted
at Winston, the officer having only
recently secured a detailed descrip-
ton of the boy who assaulted young
Holton. Mr.. Gilbert told Hoskins that
he was going to have his picture TAX
en- and send it to the Winston officers
to let them decide as to his identity
and the negro finally told the officer
that there was no need Of taking the
picture, that he was the boy who
struck Holton, and now that he wa:
caught he would make the confession
and let the case take its course. I

CHARGED WITH WIFE MURDER.
Young Beattie Arrested on Charge of
killing His Wife While Out Motor
ing-Another Woman in the Case.

In the last issue of The Caucasian
was an account of the murder Of Mrs.
II. c. Beattie, Jr., while motoring
with her husband near Richmond on
Tuesday night Of last week. Beattie
claimed that man by the roadside
shot his wife Young Beattie has
since been arrested charged with
having murdered his own wife, and is
now in Jail to await trial.
Bl0odhounds were put on the trial
the next day, but they refused to
leave the road st the place Of the
crime,
The neighborhood was secured for
suspicious persons, and a negro was
arrested, but not the slightest evil
dence could be brought against him.
Young Beattie was closely ques-
toned by the authorities and first
admitted that he had been away from
home on Monday night in company
With another woman, who, it is said,
was Miss Beulah Binford, with whom
he had maintained relations for
about four years, the girl having Civ
Ell birth to a child two years ago.
Suspicion strong pointed to the
husband, and after the inquest he
was formally charged with wife MUIR
derer and placed under arrest.
Paul Beattie, a cousin, confessed
That he had bought the gun with
which the murder was committed.
Keeling in that section Of Virginia
is intense, and when the crowd
around the police station heard Of
the confession, it gave vent to yells
VI vengeance against the husband.
Young Beattie is the son of a prom
lnent banker and merchant, and for
mer postmaster at Manchester, Va.

A Democratic Legislature not only
increased taxes to raise revenue"
but to it's shame, passed a law that
the body of every pauper not buried
by family and friends, should find its
way to the dissecting table.
THE poor we have with us al
ways" and to provide for them is a
sacred duty, not only while living,
but that they should be decently
buried when dead.
Even a dead animal in North Car

mains of a pauper are sent to dis
secting table by an act Of the last
