COWBOYS ARE COMING
Portland Papers Praise Western
Drama Recently Presented at
Empire Theater,
The Portland daily papers speak in
praise of the play, "The Cowpuncher,"
wnich recently enjoyed a week's run
at the Empire theater in that city. As
the company is to appear in Dallas
next Wednesday night, the following
description of the play by the Tele
gram will be of interest:
"If there is one kind of play more
than another that the patrons of the
Empire like it is a drama in which
there is a plentiful sprinkling of
revolvers and gun-plays. And when
these shooting-irons are in the hands
of cowboys well, the people for blocks
around imagine their is a riot some
where, so wildly applausive does the
audience become.
" 'The Cow-Puncher' opened a
week's run at the Empire yesterday
afternoon, and it had the audience
roped, tied and branded In a few
minutes. Furthermore, the company
presenting it has a large supply of
catchy pictorial paper, the lithographs
showing cowpunchers lynching a
greaser and other scenes from the
play. With such lithographs as these,
no wonder the Empire was filled to the
bursting point matinee and evening,
and all this week the seekers of
strenuous drama will hike Empire
ward and cheerfully pay to see the
show. They will get their money's
worth, too, for it's a bully good show."
Attempted Burglary.
Burglars attempted to rob the safe
of Simpson Bros., the Airlie mer
chants, last night. Three holes were
drilled in the safe, but the attempt to
open it Is believed to have failed. The
owners were unable to open the safe
yesterday. Only a small amount of
money had been kept in it. Sheriff
Grant was notified of the burglary by
phone yesterday morning
Earl Barham out his ankle with a
lathing hatchet Wednesday, laying
the flesh open to the bone, and mak
ing a wound that will prevent him
from working for some time.
The demand for school books so far
exceeds the supply, that the stores in
this city find it impossible to keep a
stock on hand. New shipments from
eastern book stores are delayed, and
in the meantime scores of school
children are waiting in vain for text
books. This condition exists not only
in Dallas, but also in other towns of
Polk County, as is proven by letters
that are received daily at Stafrin's
and at Cherrington's drug stores,
asking them to send any surplus of
books that they may have on hand to
supply the demand In other places.
