ACCIDENTAL
SHOT KILLS
BRITTIN MAN
Amos Ives Shot When Pre-
sumably He Pulled Up
Rifle to Shoot Rabbit =
FOUND BY NEIGHBOk
Had Gone Into Field on Farm
For a Load of Hay When
Accident Occurred
FOUND BY NEIGHBOk

Amos Ives, about As years old, liv-
ing west Of Brittin, accidentally shot
and killed himself yesterday after
room, according to the belief of Of
fcials and neighbors who investi-
gated the shooting. An inquest was
to be held late today.
Ives body was found in the hay
rack of a wagon last evening when
a neighbor, Mr.. Hormcr, noticed that
the team was apparently caught in
the trees and brush near the Ives
home. Investigating, he found the
body. Presumably Mr.. Ives had been
shot while in field and the team
had wandered home
A bullet from .22-calibre rifle ap
parently pierced an eye, causing in
slant death. The supposition is that
MIR. Ives, while out after a load OF
hay, picked up his gun to shoot a
rabbit, and that in doing so the trig-
ger caught and the gun was dis
charged.
1t was about the middle Of the af-
ternoon when Ives went out to get
some hay, according to neighbors.
After the body was found officials
were notified and arrived there late
last night, returning to Bismarck at
6 o'clock this morning. Sheriff He'd
strom, Deputies Kafer and Phelps
and Acting Coroner Casselman, went
to the scene of the accident.
Mrs. Ives and three children are
visiting with her parents in Ports
mouth. Ohio. A telegram informed
her of the accident and she is re-
turning.
Ives lived on the Red Trail about
four miles east of Bismarck until
about three years ago when he
bought the farm near Brittin. He is
survived by his wife and three adopt
ed children, Annie, 12; Petronia, 8;
and William, a, and one daughter,
Coral, the daughter of a former wife.
He was member of. the Ancient Or
der of United Workmen and carried
81 900 in that order.

THE st. Patrick's Players, founded
in 1920 by Rev. Francis J. Hurney,
assistant Of Mgr. Thomas at st. Pat
rick's Church, are now in their fourth
season.
A group of the players appeared for
three weeks in vaudeville, and only a
few weeks ago they gave an enter
tainrnent at the CASINO Theater, New
York. None OF the players are sal
aried. Their first performance was
given in November, 1920. in the Pat
ter Revue" This met with such sue
cess it was followed in the spring of
1921 by the Spring Revue a musi-
cal comedy. The following autumn
they followed with Leave 1t to
Pierre" a comedy, that ran fifteen
nights and brought into prominence
Miss Margaret German, who after
ward won local beauty prizes and was
the first Miss America" crowned at

Their first attempt at Lenten drama
was in the spring of 1922, when they
offered pilates Daughter" presented
for ten performances. Then followed
another musical comedy, the Spring
Revue of 1922" The leaders in this
revue played three weeks here as an

for instance. the Tubal speech in The
Merchant of Venice Portals Mercy
address, the recorders scene and the
Polonius' batting episode-were high
lights wherein the young, aspiring
actor was held up to the great ones
who had gone before him. The danger
was that a classical Interpretation
was apt to become. not a well-round-
ed presentation of a character, but
a sort of a string of pearls, each
priced for itself.
Audiences of today, in this respect,
are better criterion of a play or d
performance, for they judge by the
whole effect rather than by the brill
lance of the rendition of certain
speeches or scenes. However, one
must not forget that playgoers OF the
previous period had standa rds that
those of today do not possess, and if
there also was the ripe advantage of
acting before people who had back
ground in which to estimate the new
things that came into the theater.
I'VE find that applause today comes
only when q scene i'll Shak eSpeare has
been acted in such a way as to make
it a vital and moving moment And
this is as it should be. The man IN
front does not know, and cares less,
how Macready drew his sword in the
tent scene in Richard III or how
Booth raised his hand at he end OF
certain speeches in Hamlet; he does
not know how Modjeska crept down
the staircase in the sleeping scene in
Macbeth or how Phelps played the
Mercutio-Tybalt duel scene in "Ro-
meo and Juliet; but he does know if
the actor now before him succeeds
in bringing Shakespeare'S people to
life on the stage before him.
