SHITH (0 PLEASES OUBIENCE A large crowd gathered at the High school hall last night to hear the entertainment given by the Elma B. Smith company, and it can be safely said there was not a dull moment during the ecatire evening. Miss Smith proved to be a wondeful imitator of birds and children and was encored again and again. The piano play- ing of Miss Ambrose was very highly appreciated, and the several vocal selections by Miss Tillotson were continually applauded. COMING NEXT SATURDAY The one play which seems to possess unending popularity is the perennial favorite “Way Down East” With its effective and always natural character sketches, its absorbing story, strong humaa- ity, and highly realistic snow storm,. “Way Dowa East” may well be counted ome of the best if not the best of all bucolic plays ; a fact which explains its wonder- ful drawing power.

The minor cases oa the criminal calendar are now being cleaned rapidly, aud when they are once out of the way District Attor- ney Mills will move the trial of Dominic Sharroane, who was iadict- ed by the last grand jury for the murder of Eugene Messenger, The murder is still fresh in the minds of the people of this valley and it will go on record as one of the most cowardly ever perpetrated in this section, Eugene Messenger was a night watchman in the Ath. ens bridge works, One morming his lifeless body was found by a fellow employe. Messenger had been stabbed to death and his body was punctured by a score or more of wounds. The manner in which the deed was dome indicated the work of an Italian. Dominic Shar- rone and his brother were placed under suspicion and within eight hours after the murderjwere placed under arrest. They were given a hearing before Justice Johnson at Athens and both were held to the grand jury, which body indicted Dominic but allowed his brother to go free. Stirring scenes followed the mur- der of Messenger. An unruly mob collected in Athens and despite the persistent efforts of the police to dissuade the mob from its pure pose, the latter drove every Italian out of the place, Sharrone and his brother were hustled to Towan- da clandestinely in order to pro- tect them from mob violence. Later the mob descended upon Sayre acd the Italian quarters on the cast side . were assaulted. Houses occupied by the foreigners were stoned, windows were broken out, and a small baby was hit by one cf the flying missles, Chief Walsh, in the meantime, got busy. He summoned assistance and waded into the mob, which scat tered right and left. Quiet was restored and although there were mutterings that the mob intended to make a second assault on the Italians at this place, none was attempted, it being well known that the police, headed by Shenff Griffin, were ready for any out- break. The evidence against Sharrone is of a purely circumstantial nature and it is doubtful if he can be con- victed. There are excellent grounds, however, for the belief that he had something to do with the ctime, and there may be some startling disclosures when the case comes up for trial, PHENOMENAL RECORD “His Honor, the Mayor” will come to the Loomis with a reputa~ tion for general excellence never before scored by a musical play in the last decade.

Aarons, employs some twenty principal players and a chorus of nearly 100.
