 N All 1.-THE THEATRES
LYRIC THEATRE

Our New Minister" which is the oX-
 fering of the Eleanor Cleveland Stock Company at the Lyric theatre this
 week, teaches the broad lesson of un-
 selfishness and forgiveness. It is a
 beautiful rural comedy drama, with a. story of forcefulness, and interesting in the truths which it presents so
 clearly, and entertaining in it's sim
 plcity and beauty of treatment. It
 has an ample supply of clean, bright
 comedy, which appeals to everyone;
 but it is in the strength of it's story
 and the power of its moral lesson, that
 it attracts it's multitude of admirers. The audiences yesterday, at the mat
 inee and evening perform ances, gave
 the play, and the new members of the company, Mir. Nannery and Miss Cameron, their most decided approval.
 The many excellent characters which the play presents are all admirably filled. and the play gives fully as
 great satisfaction as any which the Cleveland company has presented this season. Miss Cleveland, as Nance
 Ranso1n, has a beautiful and syrnpa-
 thetic role, in which she has excellent
 opportunity for the display of her ex-
 emotional parts That she fully sue
 ceeds is apparent from the warmth of
 the applause which is bestowed upon her, and from the close attention
 which is paid to her work.

 Harry Ingram has as choice part as

Nan- tle, the sheriff, has a role which Is full of color, and the comedy work demanded of him is given in a clean curt, decisive manner which wins him universal favor. Miss Lewis, in the eccentric charac- as the minister's sister, MT.

 handsomely and very effectively stag 1 ed. and the accessories are in excel lent keeping with the requirements of the play.
 Everyone who adrnires the rural dra- ma will find a great deal to admire in the current presen ton of%'Our New
 Minister" and judging by the advance sale of seats for the week, about ev- cry theatregoer in Bridgeport has de cided to see the production during the week. The indications are that every performance for the whole week will find a big audience in attendance and | it is a surety that everyone who does

DRYS TAKE HOLD
OF WET DECISION

Puyallup "drys" this morning
made use of the decision secured
by the "wets" at Spokane, where
they prevented liquor election,
to prevent an election to wipe out
the local prohibition in force in
Puyallup.
Attorney Harry Rowland Sc
cured a temporary restraining or
der in Judge Easterday's court to
prevent the holding of the liquor
election in Puyallup. The case
will come ON for final hearing
Saturday.
The vets prevented an election
In Spokane by reason of the fact
that the petition was based on the
votes cast at the general fall cleo
tion instead of the city election.
Here the dry element is using the
same argument to prevent an cleo
ton.

Olsen killed the Indian Prin-
cess Eta Chushner, 25 years old,
with whom he had been living as
man and wife for more than two
years, yesterday. Tainted by
her words and actions as they
talked together in their tepee on
the Sumner road, two miles from
Puyallup, Olsen in consuming
rage pulled revolver from his
pocket and shot the girl twice.
He then turned the gun on
himself, but the three remaining
cartridges missed fire and he
threw the weapon aside and
clasped the dying Indian woman
in his arms, sobbing and wailing.
Five minutes later he was
dragged from her PROSTATE body
by Deputy Sheriff j. A. Mitchell.
who was in the camp trying to
obtain information as to who was
supplying the Indians with
whiskey.
The camp itself is that of a
large party of hop-pickers who
are working on a ranch owned by
Charles Sturgis.
The story of the crime was told
by Olsen last night and is record
ed in a document in the hands of
the prosecuting attorney.
Olsen says he was sent by Stur-
gis last Saturday night after
whisky, returning with a gallon
for his employer and pint for
himself. The entire camp was in
toxicated that night, according to
the statement.
Early Sunday morning Olsen
made his way to the tent occupied
by Princess Eta, said to be a
granddaughter of the late Chief
Kitsap, to find her with two men,
one of them white.
A short time after this he was
talking with Sturgis. Sturgis ac-
cidentally dropped his revolver,
which he carried in his pocket
since he was fired upon by boot
logger a few days ago. Olsen
picked up the weapon and told
Sturgis he must have it.
When he returned to the tent
where he and the Indian girl
lived, she attacked him with dishes
which she threw at him in her
anger.
You're a coward" she said
you've got gun. Shoot me!
Shoot me! You are afraid tc
shoot mel"
Cursing him and still calling
him coward and dog, the
woman slapped his face, and he
fired.
81 want to die and be buried
with her," said Olsen wher
Sheriff Robert Longmire was
bringing him to the county Jail
81 would rather hang than &c
to jail for life," he says today.
He has pleaded guilty" today
and is awaiting sentence from
Judge Chapman for a crime The

thing he wished most to avoid.
