Bachelors Honeymoon" Good Show

The Mayo Bradfeld Co., which put
on "A Bachelors Honeymoon" at the
Rink Hall Thursday night, played to
a crowded house, and the company
showed its appreciation by giving a
splendid entertainment. There were
no long waits between acts, the time
being taken up by vaudeville special
ties and some excellent piano music
by Miss Virgie Carroll. The play was
full of laughable and comical situa
tons and there was not poor charac-
ter in the bunch People were pres
ent from Mason. Thompson, Ludwig
and Wabuska and all enjoyed the ev-
ening. Yerington is mighty good
little show town for such high-class
amusements as the Bachelors Hon
eymoon," and if we could have a cou-
pie of such entertainments each month
it would be pleasure.

pearance of a foreigner. was found ly-
ing in a cornfield near the Shaul ceme-
terry yesterday. with the left side of
his head badly crushed. He was re-
moved to ST. Joseph's hospital and at
late hour was still unconscious. At
tending physicians are of The opinion
that the man will not survive his at
tack as his condition is very serious.
The finding of an instrument, known as
a track chisel and having the appear
ance Of heavy sledge has led the
authorities to believe that the stranger
was struck with it.
The spot where the man was found
is described as being about e quarter
of mile east of the Shaul cemetery,
on the Blue Grass road to Blakesburg.
At this spot there is a cornfield located
about six feet back from the road and
it was between the fourth and fifth
rows of corn that the body was first
seen. c. H. Hillary was driving to OF
tumwa from Blakesburg about o'clock
yesterday morning and was the first to
notice the man lying on the ground.
Physicians and the sheriff were noti-
fled and the man was immediately
brought to the city and taken to the
hospital. 1t was found, upon examina-
ton, that the left side of the skull was
very badly crushed. Three pieces of
bone ranging from size somewhat
larger than q dollar down to one about
the size of quarter, were removed.

upon the brain.

Sheriff w. E. Knox immediat ely sent
in call to w. Fl. Rodibaugh at Agency
and he and his bloodhoun1s arrived
within short time. One dog did not
seem to be able to take UP scent. but
the other apparently followed several
trails. One Of these seemed to lead
alongside the cornfield to rear road
then thru different backways until
it came out on Webster street. Another
followed much the same route thru the
field until it came to an opening and
then took a line to Miner street.
Sheriff Finds chisel.
Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Knox,
while again on the scene found rail-
road chisel lying about twenty feet
further into the field, from where the
man was found. This was very rusty
and. from all appearances had not been
used recently. 1t was buried in the
ground several inches by the sharp
point at one end and this was taken
by the officers to indicate that it had
been thrown with considerable force.
At the large end was found several
locks of hair which appeared to be
strong evidence the instrument had
been used to strike the blow which
promises to prove fatal to the stranger

in fire which. burned the large barn
on the j. A. Robbins ranch, eight miles

large scale and a number of large

place. A large hay barn near the fire
was saved only after great difficulty.
The ranch is operated by Roy Rob-
bins and H. H. Merrill, son and son-in-
law of Mr.. Robbins. who makes his
home in this city. The origin of the

missed
