HISTORIC ROUND AT MEMPHIS
On lts Summit De Soto Was Received by the Chlckasaw Chief
 In 164f.

Under the lead of the residents of the southwest portion of the city, there is a renewal of activity for the purchase of Jackson Mound Park and a small amount of adjacent property as an addition to the public park sys- tenn. People favoring the purchase have drawn up petition which sets out why they think that the property should be purchased by the city.
 These mounds have historical value that is beyond calculation. Upon the summit of one of them, in May, 1541, De Soto was received by the Chickasaw chief. This was twenty three years before the birth of Shake speare: it was sixty-six years before Jamestown was settled; 1t was sev- enty-nine years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. It is, there fore, the oldest landmark in the United States. Beneath the bluff here during the Civil war the gunboat Arkansas was built.
 Being such a historical landmark, 1t is highly important that the city should own and keep sacred forever this memorable spot. Com mercial Appeal.

BREED THEATER.
The Sheepmans' Escape, Thrilling
 Western Feature.

The nlot of this very thrilling west ern drama, the feature of the Breed today, tells of Tom Harper, a young sheepman, who recently invaded the territory of the cattlemen, much to their disgust. He is warned by an unsigned note of the danger of his locating there. but his fiery nature IS not to be so easily squelched, and he promptly walks into the sheritfs of1lCc armed with his shooting irons ana the note, telling those within his hear ing that if they were not looking Tor trouble they had better let him alone
 While returning home he is fired upon and, returning the shot, wounds one of the csttlemen, and to escape being captured seeks refuge in the home of his sweetheart. The wounded man is carried to Toms home, and the mother, unaware that the cattle men had sought her sons life, cared for him.
 In the meantime number of the cattlemen had trailed Tom to his sweetheart's home, where they lay ln wait for him. Later Tom is taken Tn hand by the sheriff and locked up in iail to prevent a lynching, but BUCK Weaver, the ringleader of the cattle men, who was shot by Tom, learning that his nurse was the mother of the man he tried to kill. goes to the sheriff and makes a full confession that Tom shot him in self defense. This is one of the Essanay inimitable western pro- auctions and is fully the equal Of any heretofore presented at the Bl eed.
 Matt Bennett, the lyric tenor of the Breed. sings the beautiful old-time ballard, The Sweetest Story Ever Told, to the great pleasure of all, while MT. Tombari the Italian barytone, renders II Trovatore in his usual magnetic in sniring manner.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.

The show at this popular theater for the first half of the present week makes up very attractive bill. Rand's Musical Dogs are the feature of the show, and they certainly are wonders of canine intelligence. They work rapidly and perform their different stunts in very clever manner The hit of the bill is Harry Harvey in his German dialect character. He has sev- eral good songs and parodies and a very funny collection of jokes and stories. Deyo & Rehan introduce a distinct novelty musical turn in which they use several electrical effects to the best advantage. They close with a very pretty dancing number which is made more attractive by the use of these same electrical appliances. There is a very nice line of motion pictures booked for today, including two come dies and a western dramatic. Colum . bus Day Conspiracy will also be shown, a reel which shows many interesting views in New York city. also some tn- innate views of Mayor Gaynor and the city officials. Besides the above reel, there are two comedy and one other dramatic subjects, the titles of which are A Mania for Caricature, The Abun- dAnt Candle and A Ranch Girls Love.
