WILL HAVE NEW OPERA HOUSE

r. B. Hayes is making arrange
ments to turn his new garage build
ing into a modern ground floor OPP
era house. He is negotiating with
the Woodmen lodge for the scenery
in their opera house, and IL he is
successful in purchasing their equip
ment. the old opera house will be
closed. Mr.. Hayes expects to con-
duct a moving picture show every
evening, commencing with the first
of March. When the opera season
is on, he will book some of the lead
ing companies on the road. nj
This will give Audubon such a
play house as she has long been en-
titled to. and Mr.. Hayes informs US
that he will spare no pains or ex-
pense in making his place the most
modern and up-to-date in this sec
ton of the state. No doubt many of
our people will welcome the con-
templated change.

M. W. A. ENJOY BASKET SUPPER

The members of the Audubon
Modern Woodmen met at their hall
last Tuesday evening and enjoyed a
basket supper. They brought with
them their families and the evening
proved one of the most enjoyable
events of the winter season. Old
time games and plays were INDUCED
in and they say w. ]. Laubender
proved his ability as a dancer, and
Billy" Roberts made a great hit
as a violinist. We were given these
tips on the quiet. and II you say any
thing about 1t to these gentlemen
don't tell them you saw 1t in the
Republican.
This was the second basket supper
held this winter and they are prov
ing such a popular way of entertain
ment that the members are arrang-
ing for similar event during the
month of February, at which time 1t
is expected program of some sort
will be carried out.

ILEDOWSKY URGED
TO FACE CHARGES
Distiller Ends Life on Way
Home in Response to Wife's
Wire, Attorney Says.

Chicago, Ill, jan 22.-When Charles
trail train at Syracuse, y. Y, Tuesday
afternoon he did so at the urgent re
quest of his wife, who begged him TO
come home to face the charges of forg
ing warehouse receipts against him.
Mrs Ledowsky had been advised TO
wire TO her husband by Attorney Her
man Frank Attorney Frank stated
positively last night that the telegram
had been sent. although members of
the family denied Mrs. Ledowsky had
any knowledge of her husbands
whereabouts
Evidently the thought of imprison-
ment which faced him weakened Lee
dowsky's courage, for as the train
carried him nearer and nearer Chica-
go he finally decided to end his life.
He wired ahead to an undertaken and
then shot himself
The business relations existing for
IL years between Ledowsky, president
and sole owner of the Fox River Dis
tilling company, and Benjamin +.
Straus, were a mystery to the two en-
ployes of the company.
Miss Mary Stekskal nominally sec
rotary of the company, and, in fact,
general Office girl, and Samuel SWEET
ger, nominally vice president, and, in
fact, salesman explained to Attorney
S. Sidney Stein, acting for creditors,
their employer always was reticent
about his account with B. F. Straus.
When Attorney Stein examined the
papers in the Ledowsky safe last Sat
urday after the bankruptcy proceed
ings were started he found a confes-
sion which charged Mr.. Straus with
full knowledge of a series of forgeries
Ledowsky had made. and on the basis
of which Mr.. Straus had sold much of
the Fox River company's paper.
whatever Mr.. Straus' relations
with Ledowsky may have been, we
believe we will be able to collect more |
than $4,000 from him." said Attorney /
Stein yesterday. "Since Dec. he re-
ceived S45 900 in notes of the Fox Riv-
er company.
cot that $4,000 worth we know was
sold, although not penny was turned
over to Mr.. Ledowsky or his creditors.
The other $4,000 Mr. Straus still
holds Then there were other notes
for $4,000. some of which were sold
and some of which he still holds. We
are not positive. however, about the
exact amounts as yet"
