A Strong- Bon thorn Flay.
The -'Knobs o' Tennessee" deals
with the moonshiners and the
troubles that arc continually oc
curring' between them and the gov
ernment officials. Joe Preston is a
leader among these men, yet men
tally not of that character. A
pleasing love story runs through
the play in which Preston and
Madeline Bailey, the cultured
daughter of a wealthy resident of
Nashville, are the principals. There
are many romantic and pauictic
scenes as well as thrilling ones,
and the author has provided ample
comedy. At the end of the second
act Harry Preston's mother shoots
him just as he is being taken to
prison, to save him from hanging.
This scene is well worked and never
fails to win the audience. A novel
feature of a later scene is the intro
duction of President McKinlcy in
his private office. Preston and his
son appear to plead for a pardon
for the latter and his mother, which
is granted. Tlie play was a pro
nounced hit last season aud is ad
tnitted by those who have seen it
again this season to be far superior
in every way to last year's produc
tion. It will be seen at the opera
house Friday evening, March 16th

District Court.
The .March term of the district
court opened Monday morning with
Judge II. M. Sullivan on the bench.
The first case that came up for trial
was the well known case of the T.

day aud the arguments were made
Tuesday morning. It went to the
jury in the afternoon and they
brought in a verdict in the evening
in favor of the plaintiff awarding a
ludirment of 84. This case may
be taken to the supreme court. The
next case was Jas. P. Egan vs. B.
Beer which was tried Wednesday.
The case is a contest over the
ownership of a section of railroad
land, A verdict was rendered
Wednesday evening in favor of the
plaintiff and awarded him $120
rental for the land. The case will
also probably be appealed to the
supreme court. During Monday D.
