TWELFTH lNSTALLMENT
BURIED ALIVE

Seagrue's sale to Rhinelander of the
Superstition mine did not go through
as smoothly as he had expected. Meet
ing Rhinelander at the office of an at
torney in Las Vegas. the details OF
the transfer were arranged without
much difficulty. Rhinelander's only
care was to be sure that the convey
ance should give him clear title to
the valuable property, and having sat
isfied himself on this point. the minor
details were easily arranged.
While the attorney was embodying
these items IN a supplementary agree
ment, Rstnelander wrote out tele-
gram to Helen telling her that he was
completing the transfer CT the mine
and would come UP on No. s. When
the final draft of the contract had been
made in duplicate. and signed by the
two parties, in due form. Rhinelander
handed over second check to Sea
grue. and putting the agreement in MS
pocket. left the office.
Seagrue watched him &C with scue-
thing OF relief and great deal OF
satisfaction. The whole scheme he
had so successfully ccmpassed looked
to him almost too good tc be true, and
he had a hearty laugh with the at
toruey before they left the cace 10

at the Columbia tomorrow for three
days. Cal Dean and Marie Fey are
the two principal fun makers in the

sparkles over with good wholesome
wit. The girls hold the stage 20 min
utes. There are many laughs in the
act. For real honest to goodness fun
the Buch Bros act is a hard one to
beat. The boys perform on the tramp
oline and do many difficult tricks but
the best part of the act is the comedy
they pull One of the brothers has
a mouth full of beans that he spills
all the way through the act that is
one of the funniest things Imaginable.
Buch brothers claim they have never
run across an audience that they
could not make laugh. Dunbar &
Turner, in Next" will offer another
side splitting act when they start to
do their conglomeration of dancing.
talking and singing. The funny pair
were here last season and scored a
decided hit. 'SvengaH," the acme of
canine intelligence, is regarded as the
greatest living dog. Svengali is a
mathematician and mind reader who
does many perpleXing things. His
