THE Fortune Hunter" a play that has
met with enthusiasm in every city in
which 1t has been seen, was presented
last evening in the Auditorium before
an enthusiastic audience. The company
was well balanced and the story was
followed with keen interest. The indi-
vidual work of. the actors was extremely
pleasing.
During Monday night the pavilion at
Island park was broken into and a
small amount of cash was taken. Who
ever made the break entered by knock
ing out a piece of glass in a window
facing the ballroom and unlocking the
catch between the lower and upper
parts of the window. A cash register
was forced open, but only a small
amount of change had been left in it,
and a gum machine was broken into
and Il quantity of gum taken. A dress
suit case had been left by a patron of
the park behind the counter and a box
of fve-cent cigars was taken from the
cigar case and left OF top of the suit
case in the ballroom when the burglar
made his exit. The job evidently was
the work of an amateur craftsman as
he had opportunities to steal more val
liable things than 1ive-cent cigars and
he also left a clew through which Is is
hoped he will be apprehended. 1t is
not known just how much cash was
taken from the gum machine and the
cash register.

about a quart and a half of booze away
from him and spilled it and the NUM-
cipal court fined him s. and costs for
