COUNTESS
AT PROCTOR'S
Dandy Sketch and Great
Musical Act on Bill.

Well, I'm going to start off with
the Countess Olga RoSanoVa, ana
she is osme act, and a regular queen
for looks and clothes. Gee, she
does wear some stunning stun, n
her Jewels make you blink. Some of
them she got from a few Kings and
Queens and a Car. Her act Is call
ed "Che Sara Sara; it means
What will be, will be-" Well,
ANYHOW, she's got two swell fellows
with her; ones a funky and the
other the fellow she's in love with.
He's been smashed up in an aero
plane spill and she's been nursing
him and of course gets stuck on
him, and sings some love songs to
him. And that's all. You know MS
finish. She is one fine actress, and
went big.
The mex act was Three Italian
Troubadors," all dressed up in vel
vet suits with caps and hats with
feathers, and boots that look as II
they was coming down. Gee! but
they looked handsome. But you
forget all about that when you near
them sing and play.
The sketch is fine. It's called LAS
Told in the Hills" and Haight &
Deane & Co. are the main parts.
The fellows hate women, and the
skirt hates men. She m from
Chicago way out west to save her
sister from marrying his brother,
but gets there too late, and a thun-
der storm comes up and she gets
scared silly and filings her arms
around the fellows neck, and he
kind of likes it and changes his
mind about women, and she kind of
likes her job, so they get hitched
up, too. The scenery was n OF
the finest sights | eve saw. Mr..
Haight is a dandy actor, and Miss
Deane has got it all over the best
of them.
The Six Musical Cuttys are three
girls and three fellows and they
play fine. First they start with
xylophones, then switch to cello and
v%iolins, and then brass. There's
some good singing in it, too. They
went awful big, too, and had to
come out about six times.
The pictures were peachy.
SO long.

through the papers that he has no
quarrel with anyone. OF course he re-
rrets that the committee could nor
ogree with him on the practicability
OF his plan, but he cheerfully con-
cedes the right of everyone interested
to decide for themselves. He says
he is going on with the work, however
and that he will enlarge its scope
Instead of one factory in Durango,
which was the original plan, he now
says it will be quite as easy and but
very little more expense to raise the
money and the beets for three or four
factories in this district. He now
thinks that in addition to the Durango
plant he can also establish one at Ig-
nacio one at Aztec, and one at Man
cos, and by collecting part Of the
promotion fund in those places Du-
rango's share will not be more than
half Of what it was.

the hero of the midnight episode al
though the real detective, entered the
buffet nonchalently, just at the criti-
cal moment when the daring holdup
was preparing to make away with his
booty. In fraction of a second the
detective had taken in the situation,
and moment later there was a des-
perate revolver duel in progress with
the Pinkerton man and the holdup fir
ing at each other from distance of
five feet. With well directed shot
the detective sent a bullet into New
ellis right forearm, putting his gun
hand out of commission, another bull
let pierced his left ear. The bandit
sank to the floor as Erb lodged two
bullets sent in his direction. Then
Patrolman Marmaduke broke into the
room and overpowered the fallen high
wayman.
Just before closing time, while c..
W. O'Brien, manager of the Vail ho-
tel, and two friends were standing in
the buffet talking, Newell, with a
mask over his face and a revolver in
his hand entered and ordered them
to hold up their hands. They com
piled, the robber then extracted $14G

Detective Erb walked into the room
The Pinkerton man was ordered to

is ROOSEVELT FAIRY

The eastern papers are surely pour
ing hot shot into the colonel's ranks
lust now. Before he was candi-
date, things seemed to be going his
way. Now they are coming his way
in the shape Of unkind missiles of a
political character. In fact, the COM
ments thus far noted are rarely COM
plimentary.
One newspaper says: "The mask is
off, Theodore Roosevelt has betrayed
himself, his friends and his party
Do you know that seems to be
very wide prevailing sentiment?
The latest action Of Theodore
Roosevelt in announcing himself for
candidate for third term against
his friend and particular patron, Pres
ident Taft, and in throwing his party
into factional eruption, is quite gener-
ally looked upon with disappointment,
The action is not in harmony with the
old time leader of the Republicans;
with the testimonial he has given
President Taft, or with the fine
preachments made over square, fair
deal and justice to all.
The sober second thought of the
public will not only bring the realiza-
ton that Taft is making a fine presi-
dent now, but that he was very i'm
portant factor, and admittedly so by
Roosevelt himself, in making the last
administration effective.
One paper pertinently says: "Man,
old time Republican admirers Of Col
onel Roosevelt will look upon his ac
ton as unfair to an old friend and al
something closely resembling bat
faith to his party. The third tern
tradition will be brought up agains
him and impede the party. The Re
publican party has great admiration
for Colonel Roosevelt, but his trues
friends will be inclined to believ
that his entrance into the canvas
gives more comfort to his Democrati
enemies than il does to his Republica
- r
no failure of the Taft administratio
that justifies it. That administration
sanely progressive and consistently 50
has been characterized by great goo
sense, resolute coruage, infinite pati
ence and substantial achievement
That Roosevelt believes general ca
exists for him, we do not doubt, no
can we question his courage when W
consider all he has to lose. The imme
diate and growing effect of Mr.. Roose
velt's unwise candidacy will be t
strengthen Mr.. Taft's position and tn
regard in which he is held by the vas
majority Of his countrymen."
And SO continued quotations Nigh
