GREAT DETECTIVE
WILL SPEAK HERE
Owen 0. Wizard to be Here
for Three Nights
Will Peel the Bark Off the
Argument that the Saloon |
is a Benefactor.

Owen o. Wizard president of
the Worlds Association of De-
tectives, and who is credited
with thousands of arrests and
convictions, will be here on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings of next week when he
will deliver lectures at the
Opera House on the license ques-
ton.
Detective Wizard was here a
year ago and so large were his
audiences that the Opera House
proved altogether too small for
the crowds and many were un-
able to gain admission. At his
lecture last year for men only
over four hundred voters turned
out to hear him.
The lecture will be entirely free
to everyone, but as the Opera
House will prove too small for
adults who will want to hear
this man, parents are requested
to leave their children at home.
Mr.. Wizard is a very forceful
speaker and so great is he in
demand as a lecturer that Wash
burn is indeed lucky to secure
him at this time. Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of next
week are the dates you should
keep in mind.
