Amateur Vaudeville
At The Star Theatre

The contest held at the Star
Theatre by amateur vaudeville
artists on Mon lay night was a
grand success. About seventy
live people We're turned away as
the house was crowded to the
limit for both shows.
The actors were considered
very good indeed. Pat Malloy,
the lrlshman from the bogs of
Ireland, in his two speciality
acts, was decidedly good and he
won the prize in the contest,
which was a handsome rug.
Ole Bulls double, D. R. Lobdell,
accompanied on the piano by
Miss VanValkenburg, rendered
AR Varie' with true artistic
skill and was heartily applauded.
our famous actor, Charles
haynes, did himself proud in
MS speciality act and certainly
Gould not be classed with the
amateurs. The Norwegian
Nightingale, Gilbert Sorby,
proved his right to the title and
| made popular his favorite ballad

Inc eloquent elocutionist, H.

MS audience entirely, during the
rendition of his speciality and
answered the encore with Sc

U.C.T. New Year'sEve
Ball Another Big Hit

The Local Order U. &. T. gave
a New Years Eve ball Wednes-
day evening which was very
largely attended and successful
from an entertaining point of
view.
The hall was most beautifully
decorated with Japanese Ian
terms, colored streamers and
large japanese umbrellas, the
outer edges of which were
trimmed with lighted lanterns
and produced a beautiful effect.
Hundreds Of penants hung from
the walls and the incandescent
bulbs were all colored red, SO
that the hall was filled with a
soft red tinted light. AS before
one corner Of the hall was sup
piled with gaily decorated
booth at which the guests were
served with a cooling and delic-
ious punch.
The Commercial Club rooms
were decorated with streamers.
lanterns and banners in much
/ the same manner as the main
hall and these were used by the
guests as cloak and waiting
rooms.
Cournoyers orchestra rendered
exceptionally good music for the
occasion and were encored
repeatedly. They have adopted
the singing stunt with number
of their best selections and it
goes without saying that these
numbers are fully appreciated
by the dancers.
At II o'clock the electric lights
were turned off for five minutes,
while the big whistle announced
the new year.

been disarmed when in a rage
and about to assault some one
with a gun.
Curington and Richards had
been partners in the sheep busi-
ness and there was a difference
of several hundred dollars be-
tween them in favor of Richards,
resulting from these former
business transactions.
While $19OO.0O of this debt
was secured by a mortgage, it
is claimed that nearly as much
more was due Richards ana
which was unsecured.
Richards wife, Curington's $
daughter, has never given any
reason for leaving her husband,
not even to Richards. When
pressed for a reason for her
action, by the coroner's jury
she stated, that she never had
told anyone while Richards was
alive and now that he was dead
she wouldn't tell"
Friends of Richards say thai
he had told them on numerou:
occasions, that the only trouble
or disagreement they ever had
was over their child, which hi
wife wanted her mother, Mrs
Curington, to adopt and raise
and to which he objected.
Sheriff Anderson served tn
warrant on Curington Wednes
day and he was brought to Biso1
and arraigned, and his hearing
. will be held sometime the for

Charging him with numbering
I Fred Richards on December 18th.
This may come as a surprise
to many not familiar with cir
cnmstances, except what has
been printed heretofore of the
details Of the tragedy.
It seems however, that former
friends and neighbors of Rich
ards were not satisfied with the
evidence submitted to the cor
oner's jury, and believe that
Richards met his death under
entirely different circumstances
>>than have been reported. 1t is
pointed out that the previous
good character borne by Rich
ards, during the past twelve or
thirteen years of his residence
in the vicinity of Bixby, would
Indicate that he was a most in
ctfensive man and incapable

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
JARED AND MARTIN
By CHARLES FRAZER BAILEY.

Old Jared Bliss sat out in the back
yard of the place he called home, the
tears streaming down his wrinkled
face.
Its killing me-" he sobbed DESC
lately Il don't care for myself, but
little Martin-oh! how can those peo-
pie who have wrested from me all I
had in the world treat the poor child
as they do?"
Tenderly the old man passed his
hand over a small tin pail that hung
suspended from triangular conjunc-
ton Of three iron rods, forming tri.
pod. Beneath there were the ashes of
q fire. Jared had rugged up the con-
trivance SO that his little favorite
might play camping out" Mrs. Henry
Porter had soon put an angry ter.
mination Ito that nonsense"
Little Martin had been chided by
his stepmother for wasting his time
while he should have been carrying
in fuel from the woodpile. Then she
had ordered him up to his room under
the roof rafters. She had locked him
In, and there accompanied the act
by the threat that he would have diet
of bread and water until he learned
to obey orders.
No orders, in fact, had little Martin
disobeyed. It was the nagging dis.
position of Mrs. Porter to find fault
with everything when she was out Of
humor. Just now she had been par.
ticularly crossed by her husband. He
was usually meek and afraid of her
brawling. unwomanly ways, but a
chance had come up to 90 with some
fellow lodge members on q junket to
another town. This time, instead Of
asking her permission to 60, which
would have been refused. he waited
till they were comfortably aboard Of
the train and sent a verbal message
az to his action.
Always Mrs. Porter cowed down her
husband. always she took q high hand
in scolding and sometimes Furnishing
little Martin. Henry Porter had at
least vestige left Of fatherly feeling
for the little fellow, but gradually he
