H. Strubrud, arrested yesterday by Deputy Constable Druhot on a charge of usury. Strubrud was in jail about two hours for accepting $5 a month interest on a loan of $50. "You oan't put me in jail for this," he protested weakly while be was be ing searched in the jail office. "Well, we'll make a try at it, any way," responded Deputy Sheriff Glen non, dryly. "Don't take my money, please don't," pleaded Strubrud. when the deputy iished a purse out of one pocket. Olennon grinned and put it back. "All right, keep it, then. The other boys may want some of it," he said. Strubrud didn't know what that meant, fur he had never heard of a kangaroo court. He was hustled down the hallway and ushered into a corridor where 30 or 40 prisoners were sitting around. One of the huskiest of the inmates seized the newcomer and conducted him to a. position at one end of the corridor. The "judge" mounted a stool and asked the new prisoner his name. "What are you doing in here?" de manded the court sternly. "He's a shylock," some one whispered. The judge's brow darkened. Strubrud glanced around the circle of- prisoners and looked otttside for help. He saw none. Chief Jailer George Hurlburt was watching the performance and grinning. ";ot any money?" asked the judge. "No." . "Well, you're fined a dollar and a half for getting caught. Now cough tip." "I haven't got it, honest I haven't," protested Strubrud. "Search him," commanded the court. Two prisoners seized Strubrud and a third went through his pockets. One found a purse with a quantity of silver. "What's this?" demanded the court. "You Had to me. You're fined a dollar and a half mora for lying." The judge extracted $: (which will be used to buy tobacco for the corridor) and handed back the pocketbook. Strubrud rushed to the side of the corridor and shoved the purse through the bars to Mr. Hurlburt. Then he plunpred his hand into another pocket and brought forth another purse which gave forth the peculiar metallic "clink" of- gold as he handled it. This also he gave to the chief jailer. "You take it," he said. "Take care of it for me. They'll get it, sure, if you don't. I want to see my lawyer." Mr. Hurlburt pocketed the two purses and walked away. Then Strubrud had an afterthought. You re a deputy, aln t you"' "No, I'm not a deputy," grinned the chief jailer. "Whadja want to give him your money for?" demanded another prisoner. He only a trusty. Now your kale's gone for sure." Strubrud xva.3 in despair. He sat down to think It over, but was not al lowed to remain long. The "Sheriff" of the kangaroo court seized him again and once more he faced the judge. "Say. we can't help it -if they shove you in here," said the judge. "But if you stay here you gotta be , decent. You're sentenced to take a bath, see?" Two huskies then dragged the pro testing Strubrud to the big tank where the prisoners take their baths. In spite of his objections they stripped him. threw htm into the water and "stirred him around" until they were tired. About the time he got dressed and was wondering what would happen next his sttorney came and furnished bail. Stru brud was then released to appear before a. District Judge today. Jnt Married" and "This Way Out" Are Clever Sketches af Fun and Patter That Entertain. Right from the farm are the "dairy maids," an octet of them, carrying milking stools and pails, dressed in ginghams and topped by sunbonnets. They headline the Empress bill, and before their act is over they turn out to be a most sophisticated and up-to-the-minute gathering of dairy girls. The miniature musical comedy has a trio of principals, with Eddie Foley and Lea Leature featured. Eddie Is of the Victor Morley type of dancer, and he sings most pleasingly. Miss Leature is a vocalist, too, and dances modern steps with the active and debonair Foley. He is the rea' spirit of the entire cast, and bis comedy is unique. The octet of dairy dance and change thi each song. Ed and Jack Smith are a couple of merry, chaps who eing and chatter. They have some new songs, and one very old one about Pauline's perils, but tney give it a new comedy twist. Their teamwork eccentric dancing is excel lent. Harry Jenkins and Grace Covert present a novel act, each trying to out-talk the other as a pair of newly- weds. "Just Married" they call their rapid-fire skit, and it's keen and clever. Jenkins singe delightfully, and his humor is spontaneous and mirth-provoking. . "This Way Out" is the title of the sketch, a dramatic episode by Percival Knight, which has to do with a con flict between a ' blackmailing yeggman and a reformed convict. The lines are good and the situations thrilling. Dr. Martin Sorners and William S.' Gill capably play the two roles. Opening the bill right after a run of interesting movies is Maestro, a Belgian, who has a diverting and sen sationally funny juggling act, done in pantomime. are elaborate and his Imersonations of Marie Kendel and a Spanish dancing girl are great "Childhood Days Revue" is presented by a company of nine entertaining folk, who appear in a "dear old-fashioned school-days" sketch that is a vehicle for delightful nonsense and lively spe cialties. Plenty of fun is found In the act given by Harry Antrim and Betsy Vale. The former does some singing, whis tling and imitating that are unique Betsy is seen at her best in a dance full of vim and grace. Two women and six men are in the company of clever acrobats billed as the Six Fultons. They saunter on in street attire and after a little prelim inary do some whirlwind, daring stunts. A competition in dancing, some jolly songs and a lot of original patter Is the contribution of Grundy and Lazzo. One is a blackface artist and both are popular. Carletta, the human dragon, opens the show following the motion pic tures. Carletta is a cortortionist seem ingly without a bone in his body. His is a spectacular act, well staged and quite sensational. The man is seen first as an Alligator, creeping and crawling about a grotto. The orchestra is giving special concert numbers this week to add to the list of attractions. MASON OFFICIALS TO MEET Supreme Lodge President to Arrive Today to Confer Degrees.
