Dale came to San Francisco to fill dates and, after he left, the man did not perform the work as agreed, but took the mules and harness and made off with them, and Mrs. Dale journeyed to Napa and notified the sheriff to bring back those mules or send the man to jail for mule stealing.

Marcus Loew May Build Thea= tres in Canada It is understood that Marcus Loew, who became king of vaude- ville through the purchase of the Sullivan-Considine circuit, has his eye on Northwest Canada, and is contemplating an addition to his al- ready gigantic circuit by building theatres in several of the thriving Canadian cities. Loew now owns theatres in Vancouver, Winnipeg and Toronto; is building in Mon- treal and Ottawa, and has his big connections in the States. If Mr. Loew decides to erect this chain of theatres he will probably establish a house in Calgary and another in Edmonton. Coming eastward he would build theatres in Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Regina, Brandon and Moose Jaw, which would bring his show directly into Winnipeg. From there it would be easy to reach Tor- onto, Montreal and Ottawa, while the jump back to New York could be broken by playing his houses in Buffalo and Rochester. Biggar Suit Again NEW YORK, April 18.—After seven years' litigation and reaching the Court of Appeals, the $100,000 suit brought against Laura Biggar by Mrs. Agnes Mary Hendrick for alienation of the affections of her husband. Dr. Charles C. Hendrick, is to be tried. Justice Kelley, in the Supreme Court, Brooklyn, has signed an order per- mitting Miss Biggar to serve an amended answer in the new trial or- dered by the Court of Appeals. Sam- uel Frankenstein, attorney for Miss Biggar, claims a new defense in that Mrs. Hendrick will be charged with being unfaithful, and that when her husband left her he had already lost all affection for her and therefore Miss Biggar could not have alienated affec- tions that had no existence. Circus Tent=Pitching Macliine The great canvas tents so familiar to the circu.s-going population are enormously heavy, weighing often five tons or more, and handling them quickly is a task that formerly taxed fifty men for two hours, and then was accomplished only indifferently well. By a new device a big wagon is equipped with a long roller, operated THEATRE Oakdale, Cal. E. C. SHEARER, manager. A live one for real shows. Seating capacity, 376. Road shows write for open time. by a gasoline engine, which winds up the big canvas as quickly and easily as a clothes wringer handles a sheet. Indeed the resemblance is something more than fanciful, for this appliance wrings the canvas perfectly dry, even on a rainy night, so that the tent may be transported without fear of rot- ting or mildew. Reversing the process, and pulling the big canvas off the rol- lers by horses, the entire tent may be raised quickly, the roller on the wagon being utilized to pull up the ropes which raise the poles, .saving an im- mense amount of hard work and hours of time. The gasoline engine is used only for operating the roller, the wag- on being hauled by eight horses.— Popular Mechanics Magazine. I
