The adjutant general's message re cites that this time' young Allen was severely wounded in action on July 30. Allen was first wounded on May 27, when he was gassed.

GAYETY STARTS ITS SEASONJITH RUSH "Golden Crook" Draws. Two Big Crowds to Open New Bound of Musical Burlesque. Two capacity houses at the Gayety theater yesterday marked the season's opening of "Omaha's fun center." The most surprising feature of the opening was the fact that notwith standing the heat of the afternoon, the theater was filled to the last seat. Women predominated at the after noon performance, and greeted the merry company of entertainers by en thusiastic hand clapping. The audi ence and players exchanged greet ings of welcome at the beginning of another, season of burlesque.; The evening audience was more vociferous in its appreciation of the opening bill provided by Manager Johnson. The theater has been done over by decorators and looks spick and span for the new season, which has been so. auspiciously opened. Billy Arlington the Star. "The Golden Crook" was brought from New York City to open the season here. This production ap pears with new costumes, new music and witticisms and a few new faces. The members of the company are im bued with unusual unction for this season of the year. Billy Arlington and George Doug lass are with the company and that means much to burlesque votaries. Arlington, as Hon. Peter Vandegrif fen, makes the most of his oppor tunities. Mr. Douglass is an able comedian and Eleanor Cochran dis plays her ability and agility in a series of clever scenes. Other prin cipals with the company this season are Alice Rutherford, Florence Col- line, Harlie Mayne, Ed Hennessey, Walter LaFoy and Mabel Reflow. Miss Cochran's reference in one of her songs to an injured foot hag more truth than poetry, for two weeks ago she was struck by an automobile and dragged IS feet, escaping serious in jury. The chorus is capable and comely and some of" them are chubby and coquettish. One of the girls has the name of Evelyn Nesbit, but she de clares that she is not "the. one." Sunday matinees will b'egin at 3 o'clock, according to last season's custom. Emil Hoffmann appears again as the leader of the Gayety orchestra. Manager Johnson says to the home folks: "Ladies' matinee every week day." Mike Skorup Killed as s He Grasps Live Wire Mike Skorup, Austrian'employed by the Union Pacific in the Bluffs yards, was instantly killed yesterday when he grasped a wire carrying 6,600 volts of current. Skorup was operat ing a crane with three other em ployes when it caught in service wires furnishing power to nearby grain ele vators and railroad plants in the yards.

Electric Trouble Man Lives After Grasping Live Wire F. H. Tallman, 2414 K street, South Side, "trouble shooter" for the Nebraska Power, company, flirted with death for three minutes near midnight and lives to tell about it. Tallman had gone to Forty-ninth and Dodge streets to replace a blownout fuse. After ascending a 30 foot pole to the transformer he grasped a live wire. For about three minutes 2,300 volts of "hot juice" passed through his body. He was un able to let go and was released only when the flesh on his hand was burned to the bone. He fell on a concrete sidewalk. He was taken to Central police station, where his wounds were dressed and then he was sent home. 1 Police Patrol and Auto Collide in Webste; Street , Charles Douglas, a negro "shoofer," doesn't stop for anything not even the police patrol when he operates an auto.
