The report that there was a hold-up
at the corner of Commercial and
Tenth street Monday night In front
of A. V. Allen's, has no foundation In
f.ict. Four young men were skylark
ing on the street and a lady and two
gentlemen were following along be
hind. The young men Jostled Into the
two gentlemen, escorting the young
lady, and It Is possible that during the
i-kylarklng one of the parties might
have lost a watch, but there was no
hold-up, as the reporter of the As
torlan and the messenger boy at the
Western Cnlon saw the whole trans
action, which occurred about 12:30.

court has authority to Issue warrants
for constructing a new court house,
all of these warrant will be taken
up and new warrants Issued. Sheriff
Llnvllle was instructed by his bonds
men not to receive them, as they
would be liable in the event the court
bouse case is decided against the
county.

and Manager Gervurts la being con
gratulated on all sides for the splendid
performance given each night. It Is
impossible to particularize each per
former, as all are of equal merit in
their respective lines, but the lurg
crowd attending every night Is tiie
best advertisement for this popular
play house. Vaudeville is deserving-
ly popular when high class attlsts are
secured, and this Is the reason why
the Star la becoming so popular.
