It was this writer’s good fortune some years since to see an English troupe present ‘‘The Dover Road’ on the Geary stage in San Francisco. An English play in an English setting, written by an English playwright, presented by English actors. It should do a little to banish that age-old American “prepossession that English people lack a sense of humor. For ‘‘The Dover Road’’ is subtly humorous throughout and an uproarious eomedy in: spots. Now because a good memory makes it possible to place the professional presentation ‘“‘The Dover Road’’ by English actors along side the presentation by American amateurs in the Nevada Theatre Tuesday evening, it is very pleasant to record honestly that ‘“‘The Dover Road” pulls through very handsomely in both presentations. This, in the latter case, is due first to the consummate skill of the playwright, A. A. Milne, second to the coaching of Miss Lois Shaw, 'who expertly cast the dramatis personae in the roles best suited to their natural abilities, and third to the industry and ‘inherent talent of the caste. any standpoint the presRoad’”’ TuesFrom entation of ‘‘The Dover day was a very happy event. Mr. Lytimer, the gentleman who tam pers with the fate of eloping couples, ‘was the very figure f8r such a’role of Olympian benevolence, convincing in his impersonation, determined to do good to others whether they liked it or not. The Englishman who played this role in the play when it. _ first came to the coast, had much of the all-enveloping charity, the gentle guile and the ponderous wiles of Myers Mobley in the part. Sven Dorf, who played Leonard, the eloping husband, was the typical Englishman, protesting his invaded rights at every turn, even while he enjoys his host’s food and drink. In turn he played the arrogant lover, the self-centered egotist, and last, the pampered husband, with an easy transition from one phase to the other, that was hilariously*funny. Nicholas, portrayed by Dick Parsons, had one of the high comedy roles. Nicholas, eloping with Leonard’s wife Eustasia, is»a much bewildered young ‘man: Subjected to the test of spending a week in the house on “The Dover Road’ with wet-is lady love, he developes his natural eccentricities. His infatuation visibly cools as his ‘‘soul mate” yearning to administer to any trifling illness displayed, wears «badly upon his disillusioned mind. His reaction ‘both to the: husband, whom he had intended to wrong, and to his host, M. Latimer, is finally quite friendly, so much so that he .and Leonard in amicable partnership steal away for Mediterranean shores, leaving their loves in the House by the Dover Road. Anne enon by Miss Naney Jones, and Eustasia, wife of Leonard, by Miss Madeline Himes, are the high spirited women the author created. Anne fleeing from the boredom of a drab existence with a selfcentered father, Eustasia in quest of a life in which she might lavish her sepium upon. a man in need of tant ministration, are good types of the wholly modern and yet refined womanhood of either England or Mn erica.

WORK ON WASHINGTON ROAD GOING FORWARD Twelve men are engaged in brushing out the right-of-way on the new road’ to Washington.

FOREST SERVICE SUPERVISES XMAS TREE CUTTING treo comThe cutting pleted program of Christmas has been practically in the Tahoe National Forest and it is estimated 10,000 red, or silver tip firs, were cut. These trees were cut under careful super'\ vision of the forest service and came from Downieville, Webber Lakes. Graniteville and Soda Springs. The trees were shipped mostly to the San Francisco and Los Angeles markets. It has been the policy of the forest service in the past to issue permits to ‘private individuals to cut Christmas trees, but it was decided to discontinue this and allow the Boy Scouts permits to cut trees and sell them in Nevada City and Grass Valley for the holiday trade, and make some money for their organization. EIGHT YEAR OLD LAD INJURED BY TRUCK Little eight year old Kenneth Hatch, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hatch, of this city, was injured by a truck at 3:30 Wednesday ‘afternoon and rushed to the Nevada City Sanitarium where he was given an anesthetic and injuries treated. He suffered bruises’ on one leg and on his head, aid although resting easy it is not known how serious his injuries may be. The: child ran behind one truck the opposite direction was too close to dodge. Though the driver brought the machine to a stop almost at once the child was injured.

Joseph Lee, a neighbor, °on August 29, as the result of a long smoldering feud, was yesterday convicted of simple assault by a jury in the superior court Judge Raglan Tuttle presiding. He will appear Monday for sentence. Greer has already been in jail three months awaiting trial. Witnesses testified that Emil Gale, undertaking the job of peace maker between the two old: men, Greer being 75 and Lee 64, met a very truculent reception when, at the behest of Greer, he interviewed Lee. The latter picked up a rock and was apparently about to hurl it at Gale, when Greer pulled his revolver and shot Lee in the foot. The bullet entered his instep and lodged under the heel. The defendant was represented by Attorney H. Ward Sheldon and the prosecution was in the hands of the district attorney, Vernon Stoll. In availing; himself of his prerogative to comment upon the facts of the case, as adduced in the testimony, Judge Tuttle called the attention of the jury to testimony of Gale, in which he testified that he did not know Greer was following him, which the court regarded as very unlikely, and to the evidence, showing that Greer had armed himself with his’ revolver before accompanying Gale on his mission of peace. The judge questioned Greer’s testimony to the effect that he had picked up his gun as he left the cabin ‘n order to prevent its being stolen. Among the witnesses were Mr. and Mrs. Percy Mix and daughter, Manuel and Levi Potts, Frank Miller, deputy ‘sheriff, Dr. A. H.Tickell. On the day of the shooting, following the’ arrival of Lee in this eity and his treatment for his injury, Deputy Sheriff C. Larsen and Game Warden E: Hiscox went to Rices Crossing and were joined later by Sheriff C. J. Tobiassen and Deputy Sheriff W. Woods. About six o’clock the three men, Gale, Dickinson and Greer were found asleep on the hillside above the road, two miles down the river from the scene of the shooting, all very much under the influence of liquor it is alleged. In their cabin near Rices Crossing were found a 410 and 2 12 gauge shotgun. The officers gave the 410 gun to an Apache lad, ward of Greer for whom he is said to re: ceive $15 per month from, the government for his education and support. Greer also receives an old age pension of $15 per month. The boy was. turned over to the officers who took him to an aunt near Oregon House. TEACHERS WILL CONVENE IN G. V.
