MAY IRWIN TONIGHT
AT THE EMPRE88
Tonight and tomorrow night May
Irwin will appear in the great comedy
success, “Mrs. Black is Back,” in
five acts, at the Empress theatre. May
Irwin is one of the best known come
diennes on the American stage, and
her acting is ludicrous to the ex
treme. Thursday “The Hack" will be
presented.
Mrs. Black (May Irwin) is a plump
and good natured widow who has won
a College professor whom she adores,
but whom she won under the pretense
of being 27 years of age when she is
in reality 36 years. She tells him her
Little Johnny is a mere youth when
in fact he is over six feet tall and
quite up to date. The Professor buys
toys for his foster son and can hardly
curb his impatience to see him. The
widow takes reducing exercises which
puts her in the hole some $400 dol
lars which she is unable to pay. She
sends $400 to Little Johnny advising
him to stay in Paris, but he gets en
amored of an actress and follows her
to America. Mrs. Black fears the ef
fect of her double deceit upon her
husband and introduces her broad
shouldered son as the gas man.
When the truth comes out Mrs.
Black leaps into an auto, about which
she understands nothing, and smashes
into a curb. Her horrified husband
takes her in his arms and she con
fesses the deception, he forgives her,
and the comedy ends as a comedy
should—with a hearty laugh.
At the Empress tonight and Wed
nesday night.

IN DISTRICT COURT
.Last evening the jury in the case
of Fortunato Medalnl returned a ver
dict, of not guilty after being out but
a few minutes. After the verdict had
been rendered the court called the
complaining witness up before him
and gave him a.thorough going over
In plain but forceful language. He
charged that the witness had been
the cause of the whole trouble and
had put the government to a great
deal of expense, for which he had rea
son to feel anything but proud. The
prisoner wa3 discharged.
In the case of the United States vs.
John Jackson, on the charge of il
legal Ashing, the court made an or
der reducing the ball bond to $100.
In the case of the U. S. vs. John
Necklnbaugh, for illegal Ashing, the
accused was allowed to go on his own
recognizance.
In the case of Christensen vs.
Thomas-Culross Mining Co., a motion
to set aside the attachment was de
nied.
In the case of the U. S. vs. Helmer
Swanson, Ole Sandanger, Matt Jacob
son and Nick Nelson for Illegal Ash
ing, the defendants pleaded guilty
and were Aned $10 each.
This morning the grand jury re
turned an indictment against John
Rankin, charging him with malicious
ly cutting and stabbing with intent
to kill, wound and maim.
In the case of the U. S. vs. M. Ron
ides, indicted for giving liquor to an
Indian, the prisoner withdrew his
plea of not guilty and entered a plea
of guilty.
S. Shimlzi was acquitted today a
jury in the district court of the charge
of giving intoxicating liquor, to-wit,
sourdough, to a native Indian, one
Max Simms Chickelushin of Kenai.
Two defenses were interposed:
First, that the defendant didn’t do
no Buch thing; second, that Mr. Chick
elushin was not a tribal Indian and
as evidence of the latter contention
he was induced to admit on cross
examination that he has been voting
at Kenai for Delegate to Congress
for several years; also, that he works
around with white men and wears
white men’s clothing. Visible evi
dence of the latter fact was shown
by the clothes he wore, which were
better than the raiment adorning the
persons of either of the attorneys in
the case or almost any member of
the Jury, to which attention was di
rected by the defense as an auto-op
tic profference.
Max also admitted that he has or
dered another suit of clothes from
a local tailor which will set him back
forty bucks. Apparently bis witness
fees and mileage have given Max
good standing at the tailor shop.
Mr. Chickelushin testiAed that he
visited Shimlzi at the latter’s cabin
last winter and was given a gallon
of sourdough in a pan, of which he
imbibed about three-quarters during
the ensuing 15 minutes. He said the
result of this was that he became
much spifflicated and was arrested
for “getting drunk and raising hell."
The defendant testiAed that he did
not give Max any hootch but Max
might have soaked up some while vis
iting in the cabin. He testiAed furth
er that Max and other dusky brethren
who lived near by were regular man
ufacturers of sourdough and some
times had large quantities In a barrel;
that he often absorbed libations from
this tank at the invitation of the hosts
when visiting there. He also testiAed
that two other Indian gentlemen were
very drunk the same day was and all
three were arrested and Aned $76
each upon the charge which Max de
scribed as “getting drunk and rais
ing h-1”
All this caused the gentlemen of
the jury to entertain doubts and they
returned in a short time with a ver
dict of not guilty.
Joe Bourke appeared in court with
a bottle containing about an inch and
a half of chalk-colored liquid to il
lustrate the corpus delicti but it was
not introduced in evidence. It is al
leged that the bottle was once full
but when it was in the grand jury
room the cork Aew out like a cham
pagne cork and gave the grand jur
ors a shower bath which put the mar
ried ones under suspicion when they
went home.
The jury were not called upon to
decide directly whether Max is a citi
zen and entitled to vote, so that ques
tion is still unsettled and Max is open
to otters tor the coming election. He
was unable to pass upon the matter
himself when interrogated, although
he pandered deeply as if trying to
remember what the governor of
North Carolina said to the governor
of South Carolina. .
The court Axed the time for the
sentencing of Osgood, Fitzgerald,
Ronedl and Davis at 10 o’clock a. in.

This afternoon the civil action of
Christensen rs. The Thomas-Culroes
Mining Company was taken up.
