ZIMMERMAN FIRED

WAS TAKEN FOR BEAR
"It's a grizzly," scrcamcd a panic
stricken co-cd, as she and her friend
began to run.
"Shoot, shoot, shoot!" nervous boy
shouted to Judge Blankhead from thei
perches in nearby trees.
It was 8 o'clock on the sunshin
morning of April 1, and a huge, hain
ferocious looking bear strolled toward
Davis college.
Judge Blankhead fired repeatedly s
the bear's tail light but without effec
The bear hurried after a fair co-e
more rapidly than ever, and Blankhea
went into hysterics.
"Huzzah 1 Huzzah! Robin Hood an
his merry men!" With these apprc
priatc words, Harry Hamlet and Ro
Prince, local archers, leaped in sigh

At an inquest yesterday afternooi

Frances Monteith tried very boldly t
give an imitation of a Spanish soni
but the act was what we famous cri
ics call a Fiasco. Get the word, w
had to look it up too, and if she hadn
flavored it toward the last with a litt
"fiddling" I think the audience woul
have actually walked out en mass
(we know our Latin perfect) and v
couldn't help from detecting that h<
darn fiddle needed tuning badly,
think she would have made quite a h
if she had disregarded the instructic
of Mrs. Dulic Hansen, and sudden!
struck up "Turkey In The Straw" <
"Gray Eagle." Miss Monteith's nun
ber was applauded uproarously.
The next number was a piano so
by Miss Onolee Ebaugh and for
while we thought is was somebod
tuning the "pianner" until the curta
revealed the struggling female Pade
cwski. We, as well as the whole aud
ence, were glad that the composer i
this piece made it a short one, for
it had lasted another five minutes v
would have been ready for the bi
house. But Miss Ebaugh shows sligl
traces of some musical ability and
she practices forty or fifty years long<
we don't see why she shouldn't get 5
she could play such difficult pieces ;
"Red Hot Mamma" and "Tight Lil
That."
Miss Elizabeth Carson's rendition i
the "Egyptian Song" seemed to plea:
the listeners to a higher degree the
the other numbers, and we will ha^
to say right here that she "warnt i
bad to look at all diked up in the
gypsy fixin's and trappin's." She w;
the spit image of a young gypsy g
that came through our town oiv
along with some others, and cous
Will nearly took up with her whi

that his heaviest bale of cotton broug
and then skipped on to the next tow

Miss Louise Mcintosh's "Chine
Love Song" was velee muchee goo
The costume that she wore and tl
paint sure did make her look like
real Chink girl. It seemed strange
us though, to see a Mcintosh singit
a Chinese song.
In the "Indian Song," Miss Loui:
Long deserved a couple more wahoi
from the audience than she got. H
make-up alone deserved this. SI
looked just like old Rain-in-The-Fa<
himself or Big Chief Sitting-Bull. At

older members of the audience, v

of the season when Annie Laur

she was in such a way twisting at
pirouetting across the stage, v
thought we were going to be emba
rassed by the falling of the oth<
strap, but she finally retreated behir
the scenes to adjust her apparel.
The evenings suffering terminate
with the singing of an old negro spir

At the preliminary hearing Tuesday
Dr. Murchison was charged with disturbing

after being warned, persisted in
looking down the whale's throat to sec
if lie could discern Jonah. He also
wanted to take his companion, Miss

to experience Jonah's feelings.
