ARREST THEATRE MAN
ON ASSAULT CHARGE

John Bullwinkle, local superinten.
dent Of P~roctor,s theatre, was before
Recorder Kehoe last evening on q
charge OF assault and battery preferred
by Robert Hand, of 22s Rector street.
To give the New York Proctor repre-
opportunity to attend the
hearing the case was laid over until
next Tuesday night.
AT last nights hearing Thomas
Brown, appearing for Mr.. Hand show
ed how the complainant had purchased
o ticket for the attraction at the local
house and after the presentation Of
his ticket at the door had been forci-
bly, elected without just cause. Joseph
E. Stricken, counsel for the theatre,
claimed that the management had q
to exclude persons whom 1t
undesirable.
The present complaint is Of itself a
test Ease and both lawyers and Re-
eorder Kehoe, who is himself a law
yer, admitted last night that they would
like to have more time to see what
decisions might have been rendered
in the past ON the question which
comes under the civil rights act. There
is q law specially constructed so that
negroes, chinese and other undesirables
may be excluded from public houses,
but the civil rights act is supposed to
give all equal access to public places.

Electric Irrigation.

The long distance transmission of
electric power has had an important
influence upon the development Of
arid and semiarid lands in Colorado,
California, Nevada, Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho, because it makes
possible the use of electric motors
to operate pumps for irrigation. 1t
is said that even where water is pro-
durable by the gravity system, flow
ing down from the mountains, cleo
trio pumping is sometimes found
preferable, since it can be applied in
small units, thus avoiding the use
of large bitches, which not only take
up valuable space, but occasionally
cause damage by breakage. Already
electric pumps, supplied with trans
mitted power, have turned extensive
areas of arid land into flourishing
gardens, orchards, meadows and
grain fields.

A FOUR POUND TROUT.
Dean Wn. McVettie of Grace Church
Makes Best Catch of the
Season Thus Far.

Dean Wn. McVettie of Grace
church is not only splendid preach
err, he is also some fisherman. When
he goes fishing he brings in to play
that same rare talent and discern
ment that makes him excel in the
pulpit. He doesn't say much, but
saws wood all the time. And now
he wears the belt for Iowa. Last
Thursday evening he took his rod
and hied himself up stream until
he spotted a likely place for trout,
in the river, mind you, and along
about eight o'clock he calmly called
to ellis Oehler who was near by,
to come and help him land his
catch. Gillis, his eyes bullying out
with joyous glee, got into the water
and helped get the big monster on
to the bank. 1t was a beautiful
rainbow trout, regular Jim Dandy,
and weighed just an even four
pounds. Now it's hats off to Dean
McVettie" by everyone.
Several good catches of large
trout have been made this year but
this is the largest fish caught, to our
knowledge.

DemOcracy's Hope.

The democrats of Iowa have run
Claude Porter so much for Office that
they have tired him out Their Fred
Whites, Cato Sells and John Deni-
sons are kneesprung, spawned and
have corns from running so much.
Next year they will have a new man.
This is Frank O'Conner of New
Hampton. He is fine stopper,
good knee action, holds his head
high and neither FORCES nor inter-
feres. He will pace without hobbies,
trot squarely, single foot, amble or
canter without whip or spur. They
say he is a good feeder, seldom has
collie or worms. He is an Irishman,
democrat and a ringbuster and
claims he can go like lightning if
shod with high heel calks and light
toe weights. He has been on the
turf but short time, but has shown
indications of speed on several oc-
caSions.-Britt Tribune.
