'illg-l leaned Jim."
Romance, humor, pathos, bluff,
free western life, and a remarkable
group of characters drawn with an
apparent earnest effort at truth,
should make "Big-Hearted Jim," the
western play, one. of the most inter
esting dramas of the season. The
stockade scene, with Indians outside
threatening the imprisoned heroes and
heroines. Is a feature of the play.
Jim Is a Montana sheriff of the '80s,
In love with a pretty school' teacher,
who In early life was deceived with
a mock marriage and Is out west
keeping her secret.
A Montana woman, rough diamond,
figures prominently, as do also a wild
western girl, the stage driver, a pio
neer from St. Louis, a Chinaman, an
other Bherlff and a thoroughbred
'horse, trained to act, which plays
Montana, Jim's trusty animal. An
excellent company is representing this
success,
among them being Harry J.
Jackson, who plays the role of "Big
Hearted Jim," and Miss Bertha Julian
as the school-ma'am. The other
characters are in competent hands. At
the Steward February 4.

SB CASE
Circuit Judge Crawford has hand
ed down a decision In the Mrs. Sim
mons vs. G. D. Simmons divorce case,
which dismissed the plaintiff's peti
tion asking for a divorce and settle
ment of property and the cross-bill
of the defendant asking practically
the same prayer.
In his decision the court finds that
there is no ground for divorce on

not make a settlement of property.
The allegations made by both parties
were not substantiated, according to
the decision.
