The Council Bluffs Dramatic club scored another unqualified success at the New theater last night, when It presented the comedy "Isabella" for the benefit of the Associated Charities. The play was wit nessed by an audience which packed the bouse to the doors and in consequence the Associated Charities will reap a nice sum from the entertainment. The work of the club last night was equal to many of the professional companies' which have ap peared' here. Mention ft the play cannot te made without calling attention to the excellent work of George F. Hughes, In the leading role. Mr. Hughes has long been recognised aa the leading amateur actor of Council Bluffs and bis work last night fully sustained this reputation. Of bis support nothing but worda of praise can be said and this la particularly true of Miss Gertrude Davenport and Mrs. Edyth Wallace. P. J. McBrlde, who made his debut on- the' local stage, made one of the hits of th evening and his Impersonation of "The Shepherd" places him in the front rank. ' lhe play waa produced under the direc tion of Miss Lillian Fitch of Omaha, who Assumed one of the characters, and, need inss to say, waa one of the bits of the piece. The play was elegantly costumed and mounted and was generally considered to be the greatest success ever achieved by the club. Gravel rootling. A. H. Read, 126 Main St. Petitions In Uankrnptcf.

CALL RICHARDS INTO COURT Citation to Appear and Render an Account ing as an Administrator- BELIEF FRIENDS KNOW WHERE HE IS t'ona-ressman Rumple Has Bur k set and Opinion la General that He , M ill Re Rronarht Home to Die. '(From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. Jan. 16. (Special.) In the district court today Jndge Given Issued an order for the appearance In court Immedi ately of William S. Richards and bla bonds men to make an accounting of an estate of which Richards has been administrator for several years. This is the first definite ac tion In court here to determine the where abouts Of Richards, who Is alleged to be a fugitive from Justice after having served many years as a deputy United States mar shal. He has been administrator of an es tate and as soon as It was' known that be had been accused of complicity in the rob bery of Sullivan at Hamilton, In Marlon county, his accounts In the estate were ex amined Into and It waa found that he ap peared to be short several thousand dol lars. He was bonded by a fidelity company here. Richards has not been publicly heard from since the robbery. His son has stated that he Is engaged In detective work on the Carnes case from Monona county. The United States marshal here, with whom Richards had worked for many years, Las received the keys which were in the possession of Richards and papers which he had neglected to return, sent him in a package from Creston without any thing to Indicate who they were from. It is therefore regarded as certain that Rich ards Is hiding In Iowa at some point where his family and friends can reach him. It Is also unquestionably true that officials of the court here know of his biding place and have so stated. , Attention was called to the fact that Richards has not reported as administrator of an estate here and the court issued a warrant for him. It Is be lieved this will have the effect of getting track of him. There Is much mystery In legislation can be enacted, and if this can connection with the affair and while Rich- j not be secured then a requirement of stamp- ards has always borne a good name there Is but little doubt now that hi fears to face his accusers.

On March 22 last Mies Amanda Morey, who had been a teacher in the schooli of the East Side for. many years, died at the Methodist hospltsl in this city after a brief Illness. The deceased left an estate consisting of a farm of 160 acres In Ne braska, twenty-five head of cattle and the usual farming utensils. The only heir was Mrs. Alice Moore Burton. J. W. Hill was appointed administrator of the estate soon after the death of Miss Morey. He learned of the existence of Mrs. Burton, but was unable to locate her. She had left Des Moines many years ago and gone west. Correspondence between herself and Miss Morey ceased eight or ten years ago and when the latter died she did not know where Mrs. Burton resided. Testerday Detective McNutt, who had learned by chance of the fact that Administrator Hill had been unable to discover the mist. Ing heir, received a letter from her. She made Inquiries regarding Miss Morey, evidently not having learned of her death last spring. The detective gave the letter to Mr. Hill this sfternoon and be will place hlmielt in communication with her at once. The estate Is valued at $12,000. Mystery on a Farm. There is a mystery In Clay county that is not only exciting the Immediate neighbor hood In which It occurred.. hyt is being given the close att.-ntion of the officers. A young man by the name of Perry has oc cupied one of the farms of his father. With him resided another young man and they farmed It together and were their own housekeepers. They were reliable, steady young men and were doing well. One day thlr neighbors were attracted to the farm by the bellowing of the cattle and after search was made to ascertain the trouble neither Perry nor the other young man could be found on tbe prem ises. The stock were neatly famished for want of food and water. One horse and one mule were found dead. The neighbors are at a loss to explain this strange con dition. Perry, In his right mind, would never have left his stock as these were left and there is not a trace about tbe bouse or anywhere about the premises that would even suggest a solution. De velopments are awaited with keen Interest. To Establish Wblpplaar Post. JEKFKTiSON CITT.
