Local Vaudeville
Review Big Hit
COLONIAL THEATRE NOT LARGE
ENOUGH TO HOLD ALL THE
PEOPLE.

The Colonial theatre was by no
means large enough to hold the PEG.
pie who crowded toits doors last night,
and although even standing room was
exhausted at both performances, many
were turned away. The attraction was
home grown vaudeville, and to the
credit Of the local performers be it
said they made good with an emphasis
that would mean increases In the size
of the weekly stipend in the real,
work.a.day vaudeville world.
OF, course, some of them scored bet
ter than others. but all of them won
enough hands and warm praises from
the audience to satisfy their own and
their friends fondest hopes.
First honors wentSto the Mountain
City eSextet. They care 81 thoroughly
stage broke, ito -begin with, but In
addition they really did some highly
meritorious vocal and instrumental
work, and were compelled to respond
to a number of enchores'a at both shows.
Without in the least disparaging the
merits Of the other young men who
took part III this act; II, is possible to
say that the outstanding feature oft
was "a Bit of Drama" done by Herb
Heikes. This little skit possessed nov
city and was unusually well done. TAX.

Mr. Eshelman, in defending Mr..

River and Rock Springs, Wyo., accord
ing to reports to railroad headquar-
tiers here today. The robber leaped
from the train when the alarm spread
to other cars. A posse has left Green

The robber first appeared in the OBJ

passenger and forced Brakeman Tay-

partment. Several men were ordered
to throw up their hands, and when one
was slow about complying, the bandit
fired two shots. Money and valuables
were collected quickly and the bandit,
following Taylor, proceeded into the
sleeping car ahead, where passengers
in their berths were robbed.
James Fitzgerald, conductor, was
covered by the bandit and robbed but
ran from the car as the latter glanced
into berth. The robber fired as Fitz-
gerald ran, but without effect. AS the
train slowed down the bandit took
alarm and escaped.
