As reported by cable the Casino de Paris was sold Saturday, 12, and the new management, Richard W. Reith & Co. took charge. The only notice given to the public of the change was a note inserted in the papers of that day stating that the Casino de Paris had been taken over by an American director, to whom all com- munications should be addressed. R. W. Reith, Rue de Clichy, was asked for details of the transfer, but declined to give any further particulars, simply stating that he will manage the Casino himself, that no alterations are to be made, and that the hall will stick to vaudeville.

SHOWMAN AND EX-SHERIFF MEET. Butte, Mont., Dec. 30.

Sutton replied that he was, and Youtz introduced himself as the deputy sheriff of Lake county in the same territory that time. They spent most of the week talking over old times, bad men, the rush to Leadville after the gold strike and old-time experiences when they played target for Colorado desperadoes.
