CHICKEN THIEVES BUSY
NEAR GLENDALE
A Load Of Buck Shot Drives Them Away.
Work Soon On dupont Road. Many
Attend Court at Georgetown.

This is court week at Georgetown,
and of course Glendale is in full atten-
dance. 1t seems as though a court
would be a tame affair without some
thing from US. The case of Mrs. O'Neal
for shooting Charles Lindale was ignor-
ed by the grand jury, and our people
seem pleased. The case of Frank Hit
chens is not so fortunate. His case for
wife beating was withdrawn as his wife
pleaded for mercy in his behalf in the
hope that he would return to his family
better and wiser man. The State has
now placed him on trial for carrying
concealed weapons, which at this writ
ing looks dark
Isaac Harmon, very Industrious and
respectful farmer in this neighborhood,
seems to be in hard luck. Last week
he lost a good farm horse, and last Sun
day just as he returned home from a
drive with fine roadster, it died. The
animal seemed to be paralized in its
hind quarters. Walter Hudson, of Mil
ford, came down and skinned both horses
as well as some other animals.
Norman Prettyman, has moved to the
VIM. Prettyman farm near Jefferson S
Cross Roads. He has started in at the
chicken business and bought 125 fine
hens. He had scarcely become installed
n his new farm before his choice fowl
began distressing noise, and he found
line gone. He then placed big lock
IN the door, but the next morning he /
iound that the staple had been drawn
md more chicken taken. The third
hight he remained up and guarded his :
lennery. He was rewarded for his
when a big black rascal
vas seen carefully approaching his hen
cost. He shot both barrels of his gun
fter the thief and was rewarded by
earing a wild yell which plainly told
hat some of the lead had taken effect
,ince then the thief has not bothered
lr. Prettyman.
The social event at No. SchOOlhouse
7as a grand success. The old structure
1as crowded to its utmost, and the re-
ult flowed into the Golfers of the happy

SIS HOPKINS FEBRUARY 10.

Twelve years ago when Miss Rose
Melville originated the character of ISIS
Hopkins" it was an incidental in a must
cal comedy. Hardly any one today, ex-
cept those who were interested, can re-
call the name of the musical comedy.
Yet, in every corner of the United States
ISIS Hopkins" is known as the best
loved character on the stage, the central
figure of that play of delightful comedy,
homely humor and deep heart interest,
which has been before the public for
twelve years. During this time Miss
Melville has played the title role to
packed houses in every city of the Unit
ed States. She intended to retire at the
end of the present season, but Mr.. j. r.
Stirling, her manager, found it impos-
sible to secure a successor possessed of
those artistic graces which spell so much
for success in Miss Melville's career.
The persistent demand on the part of
theatrical managers for return engage
ments of ISIS Hopkins" made it neces-
sary for Miss Melville to change all her
plans, and she has consented to play one
more season as the pitgtailed, pinafored
country girl, isis Hopkins" This will
positively be Miss Meviles last appear
ance, for at the close of the present sea
son, she will retire from the stage per-
manently.

HARTMAN STRIKE.

Chicago. Feb S.-The president of an
international union having made an eX-
tended tour of the West has just re-
turned to Chicago. He was particularly
interested in noting the effect of the
Hartman strike on the operation of
trains. and other instances in relation
thereto. He reports that in his trip
from Salt Lake to Ogden, Butte, Mon
tana; Pendleton, Oregon; Seattle, Port
land, Oregon and then south to Los Ange
les. trains were nearly all late, almost
wholly due to defective equipment. From
Los Angeles back by way of Phoenix,
Arizona, to Ell Paso and San Antonio,
Texas, trains were running from one
hour to ten hours late; the same rea
sons applying as above noted. 1t was
further stated that the strikers at the
various points affirmed that the passen
ger service is being taken care of, but
that the freight service was practically
demoralzed. 1t is common practice
now to use freight engines on passenger
trains. thus showing the lack of repairs.
1t was stated that the situation as a
whole looked extremely favorable to the
strikers, taking into consideration the
fact that there have been very few de-
sertions, and also that it is rumored that
the officials of the Hartman system are
becoming disheartened over their at
tempt to deny the recognition of the
System Federation. The outlook for the
future seems to be bright.

The largest crowd that has attended

the opening of socialist headquarters in
the new Dolson q Clcaver building last
Saturday evening. The floor was
iammed all evening with a merry crowd
of dancers, Wagncr's orchestra of five
pieces furnished the music. The hall is
one of the largest in the city and will
undoubtedly be in much demand for
dance, and public meetings.
