to flee from this place Councilmen Vie
gnd and Warner, who were deposed
and placed under arrest last week by
Colonel B. X. Lawson when he put Cop
perfield under martial law in order to
close the saloons, were captured by
members of the Oregon National Guard
yesterday just as the unseated official
started to speed out of town on gaso-
line railroad speeder.
Both men had been pleading since
their arrest, Thursday, to get to Baker,
but their appeals fell on an adamant
heart, They pleaded illness on the part
of relatives in Baker, offered to give
bond, did everything, but Colonel Law
son acted as though he heard not at all
and his only reply was "you stay in
Copperfield," ="

At THE BLIGH THEATRE
MAKES HIT OF SEASON

After a triumphal tour of the large
cities of Oregon and California and the
majority of the eastern theatrical cen
ters, the Bon Ton Comedy company, in
augurated week s engagement in this
city today This aggregation has been
an immediate hit wherever it has ap.
peared, and has played return engage.
ments in almost every stand where it
has shown, by special request. In Rose
burg, by special request of the city
fathers, they held over to give the first
Sunday performance in the history of
the city. The secret of this organiza-
toms success lies in the fact that they
are presenting clean, wholesome shows,
free from anything that is in any way
risque or double meaning, nothing in
them that could offend the most fastid.
ioua Each production has a we'll
defined plot, interspersed with the
latest musical hits, new electrical ef-
feet, bright costumes and good comedy
singing and dancing. This aggregation
is headed by Miss Maude Neatly, the
well known prima donna, whose success
at Drury Lane, London, and with the
San Francisco Opera company, speaks
for itself. Mr.. Henry Auerback, the
leading comedian and producer, was
comedian with the Baker Stock COM
pany in Portland, and played opposite
the well.known and popular actress,
Miss Catherine Countiss during that en-
gagement, also was "Hi Roller" in
VIM. A. Brady's road production Of the
everlasting success "Way Down East. ~
Mr.. Eddie Harris is a German com.
edian Of distinction, and has just
closed an extremely successful season
on the s & c. circuit. Mr.. George
Henry, the leading man, is one Of the
best known lyric tenors in this country,
and has lately closed long engage
ment in that capacity with Lulu Glaser.
Miss Edwards, the captivating SOU
brette, is late of the Shubert forces,
and has gained large clientele wher-
ever she has appeared.
The big feature is the all.star beauty
chorus. a bevy of charming girls, each
an artist in her own particular line. The
opening bill, "The Merry whirl," was
a dazzling production, built for laugh
ing purposes, and is Of the sort Of enter
tainment that is now causing such a
furor in New York. This company will
be at the Bligh theatre the balance OF
the week, at prices within the reach Of
all, and bargain matinee daily, with q
complete change Of program daily.
