LOC0ED HORSE RUNS
WILD IN SEQUAT CHE

A locoed or "fittified'' horse, as old
horse men express it, created sensa-
tion here one day last week. 1t is
owned by VIM. Lee, and was recently
acquired by him in a horse trade.
The animal is a fine specimen of horse
flesh, and apparently not subject to
these attacks. His son. Willie Lee,
who is attending High School, at JAS
per, and rides the distance, started off
on the horse. After proceeding
short way, the horse suddenly bolted.
and its rider could do nothing with it.
1t ran at top speed a quarter of mile,
and then suddenly dropped to the
road, falling fiat, and nearly crushing
its rider, who with difficulty escaped
being caught in its fall. 1t lay there
and writhed and twisted, aud finally
turned over on its back and lay with
four feet extended in the air, trem-
bling and vibrating. a most unusual
position for horse. After this spell
it regained its feet, and attempted to
bolt again and young Lee, with diff
Guilty could restrain, it holding to the
bride. Only one other locoed horse is
known in the county, and it is owned
by a man at South Pitttsburg. This
animal has fit very three or four
days.

MINED At YEARS
FOR T. c., |. & R. R. CO.

G.. W. Richardson, Of Victoria, holds
the record for the longest service in
any one company digging coal. He has
heen in tie employ Of the I. 9. l. d
R'y Co. for AZ years, and is now sub
iect to the pension allowance by the
company for faithful service, which is
40c per day for over 90 years service,
and a0c extra for the next 90 years
service. Mr.. Richardson will be enti-
tied in consequence to 60c per day.
During this long term of service MI.
Richardson has suffered only one acci-
den. He got knee hurt by an iron
bar slipping and striking him when he
was resetting prop that threatened
to give way. He asked the company
for nothing and was surprised to find
pay check waiting him in the Office
of the company for the 23 days that he
could not work on account of the inju-
ry. The pay was based on $500 per
day.
A peculiar point, SO Mr.. Richardson
says, was raised when he went back to
work without first getting Doctors
certificate that he was able to do soF
1t seems that the company has it's en-
ployeS ensured against accident, and
whist officials found out about Mr.
Richardson being at work again, they
came post haste to stop him. as it
seems the insurance policy contained
a clause that rendered it worthless if
an injured man returned to work
without first getting the company
physician to certify that he was able
to perform manual labor. Mr.. Rich
ardson nor the company could secure
any damage if he was again injured.
This he had failed to do, hence he was
discharged for the first and only time
in his life, but reinstated as soon as
he got the Doctors certificate.

Good Record.

The most remarkable nonstop run of
an automobile engine ever held in this
country is still in progress at the garage
of the Crescent Automobile Company,
on Hudson Boulevard, Jersey City. On
April 9Th last, Cadillac 1914 stock
model engine was started running in a
small booth set up in full view of the
hundreds of motorists who daily pass
along the Boulevard, which forms the
eastern end of the Lincoln Highway.
The engine has now been in continuous
operation for more than five weeks, has
covered p, 900 road miles, or more than
six trips across the continent, via the
Lincoln Highway, and is still turning
up daily average of 535 miles, or a
little over p miles per hour. No signs
of oyerheating have yet appeared and
only pint and half of water has been
fed into the radiator since the test start
ed. Cylinders and bearings are lubri-
Gated with Polarine, the oil being fed at
the rate of 26 drops. per minute. The
fuel used is the Standard Oil Company's
motor gasoline. and the engine averages
A miles on gallon of gas. 1t runs
at from eco 10 ECO revolutions per
minute. All previous nonstop records
are now far out-distanced, the best pre-
vious run being that of the Packard,
which ran for fifteen days in an official
test under the auspices of the Automo-
bile Club of America.

CHESTNUT Sweet OPERA HOUSE

CHESTNUT STREET OPERA HOUSE
A society comedy of charming tone
and quality will display the Orpheum
Players to their best advantage this
week at b. L. Keith's Chestnut Street
Opera House The bill will be "Her
Husbands Wife," by A. K. Thomas, a
play which Henry Miller used as start
ing vehicle for two seasons with Laura
Hope Crews as his leading woman. 1t
has never been seen by stock audiences
in Philadelphia. Her Husband Wife,
is really an old play brought up to date.
Molliere, greatest of all French play
wrights, wrote the most successful of his
comedies on the subject of the hypo-
chondriac or one who conceives himself
to be ill when there is nothing in the
world the matter with him. He called
/ La Malada Imaginaire" and it has
always remained one of the great French
classics. 1t was to this play Thomas
vent as source of inspiration and while
his comedy palpitates with smart society
Atmosphere, it follows the structure of its
French original rather closely with
splendid laughing results.
The key to the situation lies apparent
ly in the mysterious title Her Hus-
bands Wife" Irene Randolph, wife of
to be at deaths door, though in reality
she is in robust health. While they are
at Saratoga she conceives the happy idea
of selecting wife for her husband after
she she is dead and buried. However,
she happens to be rather fond of Ran
|dolph and consequently picks out the
dowdiest most unattractive young
woman she can find, hoping that her
successor will be more of trained nurse
than an actual wife. Her choice falls on
Emily Ladew who happens to be unat-
tractive only because of past love af-
fair with Richard Belden, Irene's brother.
Having imagined that love was no
longer for her, Miss Ladew has allowed
herself to deteriorate. When Irene pro-
poses her scheme she pretends to fall in
with it, but is really insulted when she
realizes the motive behind it. She comes
out of her temporary retirement, dresses
in her best clothes, and proceeds to fiirt
outrageously with Stuart Randolph,
arousing Irene's passionate jealousy and
completely curing her of her imaginary
ills. The plot, hanging as it does upon
feminine logic, is extremely complicated,
but equally understandable. One anus
ing situation follows upon another with
such dashing brilliancy that the
audience is kept in constant roar of
laughter. Fortunately, however, the
comedy never descends to farce, but re-
mains always upon level of skillful
character drawing and epigrammatic
dialogue. The end, when Stuart Ran
dolph is driven to intoxication by his
wife's provoking whims, is one of the
most delicately handled and priquant
conclusions in dramatic liteature.

WHILE not entirely to the liking of
many who were nterested-fnancially
and Otherwise-the decisions of Judge
Lippincott in applications for license to
sell liquor were entirely fair, and Just
what was to be expected from the testi-
mony presented. The Judge has given
fair notice that there must in applica-
tions for new houses, be shown decided
necessity for the place, and that simple
application for a hotel along road much
travelled, merely for the accommodation
of those who wish to stop and get a
drink, is not enough ground for issuing
a license. This was the position taken
by Judge Homer and is being maintain
ed by Judge Lippincott. There are
many hotels along country roads that
do not seem to have any reason for exist
ing, and the day is not far distant when
such places will be dispensed with. The
notice given hotel owners and bartenders
that they must study the law and live
up to it is another thing that will be adj
hered to by the court. The necessity for
possessing such knowledge was clearly
set forth in case in which license was
refused ON Tuesday. The owner of the
hotel who wished his license renewed
had been in business at that place for
ten years, but he admitted his ignorance
of the law which forbids the delivering
of liquor to minors. There are other in
stances where the dispenser of liquors
should have an idea of the law and
strictly live up to its provisions. He
certainly ought to know that if it is lille
gal to sell drink of whisxey to man
visibly intoxicated it is equally bad TO
sell him half pint of liquor to garry
out of the place, yet this has been done
more than once.

For the second time former police
lieutenant of New York city has been
convicted of murder At the first trial
there were decisions by the presiding
Judge which made it possible to set aside
the verdict and give the convicted man
second chance for his life. In the
meantime four gunner convicted of
the same crime that policeman Becker
was charged with, paid the penalty of
their sin by going to the death chair.
With them out of the way and with
other circumstances apparently in favor
OF the accused, it was hoped by his coun-
sci that he might escape conviction this
time, but such was not the case. That
Becker has been justly convicted is the
opinion of all who followed the case.
The result ought TO have some effect in
purifying the police department of New
York city, some portions of which have
been badly tainted for long time. The
witnesses on both sides of this famous
trial-for it has been watched with in
terest in all parts of the country-were
OF type that New York is infested with,
men who would not hesitate to lie and
murder, but with all these facts brought
out the jury felt the weight of evidence
to be against the accused. OF course eff
forts will be made to have this second
conviction set aside, and delays will be
resorted to save the life of the man who
now is in the shadow of the electric chair,
but he richly deserves the fate that ap-
parently awaits him and there are un-
doubtedly others who should go the same
way possibly for this very crime.
