\V. T. Brosius' team got gay Sat
urday evening while turning up' i

a colt began kicking mid running
and ran into a tree at die corner of
the Palace saloon breaking 'he ' neck [ I 1

"Big Jim , " the new rural com
edy by Chas. A Gardiner , which
will be presented at the op-ra
house Thursday , Feb11 , is a
beautiful blending of c nn-dv ad
pithos. lie Ivis treated th1 sn" " -
ject in an entirely oriii'mal man
ner. Ttiere is not a borrowed
situation in the whole piece , and
it embraces miny n < iw ideas in ; !
play building. The comedy is' ' '
clean and screamingly funny , I '
while the more serious scenes are ! '
natural and touching. There is , |
of course , a love story interwoven j |
in the plot , but it is entirely devoid - j
void of "mushy" love scenes. The j
play teaches a beautiful lesson of
forebcirance , resignation and forgiveness
that fail awnk-
giveness cannot to - (
ed the better feelings of everyone.

ing last Saturday when the Count' '

,
couldn't do it so a wager of two j !
and a Ivilf was nude tlvit the count I
couldn't go on foot to Fort Xio- J I
brara and back in two hours. The !
j
time then was 3:15 : p. m when ,
;
Mr. Meltendorff started on his' '
i
journey. He was plucky and was j i
going to make his word good Lee '
Shepard and Geo. Corbin started i
to follow him as soon as they could , i
hitch up a team but the Count beat ji j i
them to the Post rounded the fhg
pole and was on his way back in
54 minutes. Promptly on time he
came striding up the valley taking
always the nearest route and one
'
minute before his two hours ex
pired he clasped his arms around
the city Hag pole , made his word
good and won the bet. Count
Meltcndoril' now declares tint he '
will lay Teddy's ride in the hadr- .
He says he will ride 90 miles in a' '
day and walk 10 miles on each end
of the journey. At present he is
very much interested in the big

wolf chase on the reservation
