DYED HER FliRS TO LOCK DEMURE Witness in Lord Damage Case So Declares of Miss Louise Eller Mrs. Lord Was in Chicago When Girls Testified She Invited Them to Temple Court The defense sprung a decided sensation today in the trial of the $50,000 damage suit brought by O.

W. Eller against Mrs. Sarah A. Lord who was charged with enticing the two daughters of Mr. Eller, Leone and Louise, into the Temple Court, and contributing to their delinquency.

Depositions had been submitted from the two girls by the plaintiff's attorney George W. Egan, in which the girls declared that they were enticed into Temple Court by Mrs. Lord, that she gave them whiskey and cigarettes, and giving the exact dates on which they swore they were so entertained by Mrs. Lord. Scarcely had these depositions gone Into the case when the attorneys for Mrs.

Lord introduced depositions and collateral evidence to show that on the dates named by the Eller girls in their depositions, when she was supposed to be entertaining them, she was in point of fact in the city of Chicago on a visit. Testimony wis olso Introduced, by the defense to show that Mrs. Eller at the instance of her attorney discarded a good looking dress for a poor one In which to appear in court in a previous trial and that, at the same suggestion, Miss Louise Eller had caused her furs to be dyed from white to a demure and modest looking black. This evidence the court ruled out as having no bearing on the issues involved in this case. George J.

Panforth, assisted oy Joe Kirby, represented Mrs. Lord in the trial. i Arguments were being made in case as (he Argus-Leader went to pre-s and it was -expected that case would go to the jury about five The call of cases for tomorrow Is as follows: 1 John Melroy vs. Joseph "Sampson. 3 M.

The above announcement will be received with surprise by the many friends of Mr.

Fry in Sioux Falls. Mr. Fry was 81 years of age but he was as spry as the average man of sixty and the announcement of his death was entirely unexpected. Mr. Fry had been out around the city-yesterday as usual.

He returned home in the afternoon and about five o'clock he entered the house from the yard and complained of severe pains in the left side. He sat down for a few minutes and asked to be assisted to the bed which was done and medical aid summoned. Mr. Fry lapsed into unconsciousness and when the physician arrived a few minutes later he was breathing lightly but soon passed away. Death was caused by heart failure.

Mr. Fry came to the territory of Dakota In 1S69 and settled at Yankton, where he remained until 1872 when he went on a stock farm in Clay county. Three years later he entered land near Where the town of Irene is now located and the home farm is still there. In fact the town of Irene was named after onejf Mr. Fry's daughters.

According to the testimony submitted the crime committed by Yeager was a most atrocious one. His victim was a man named Ross. It Is claimed that during Ross" absence from Lead where the family lived, that Yeager became Intimate with the wife. Thut upon the return of Ross a scheme was entered into for the removal of Ross. The defense tried to make it appear that Ross was a bad man and that Yeager feared for his life and shot in self defense.

The jury thought otherwise. It was first announced that Yeager would appeal but butter judgment prevailed as It was the general opinion that should the case be again tried YeaRer would not get off with a verdict of manslaughter in the fourth degree. Yeager was for many years a resident of Sioux City where he bore the best of reputation and his old time friends can hardly believe that he is guilty of the crime of which he has been convicted.

DEFER DECISION UN-TIL NEXT MONDAY Commission Withholds Action on New Well Until Next Meeting Pour bids for the construction of the new well at the waterworks plant were opened at the adjourned meeting of the city commissioners this afternoon, with Commissioner Mundt, mayor pro tern, and, on the request of the city engineer for further time in which to examine them. The bids were referred to Commissioner Gates and Engineer Howe. The bids were as follows: Fraser and Panforth, $9,800.

Tanner, $8,950. W. D. LovelL $10.50. Joe Sampson, $9,900.

All bids provided for various reductions from the total figures, depending upon the omission of gravel screens, the increase or decrease In the height of concrete walls, and upon excavation. The matter will come up at the i regular meeting of the commission next Monday morning. With twelve working days lert to the corps of electricians, plumbers, mechanics, decorators and others of the mob of workmen who swarm over the magnificent new Orpheum theatre building between Seventh and Eighth streets on North Phillips avenue. Solar! Brothers, proprietors of the theatre, promise to open it to the public for the first performance on October 2 within the time limit of their schedule. Great progress has been made in the construction of the beautiful fireproof building- of marble, steel, concrete and tiling, and it is asserted by several in touch with tht.itrical projects all over the country that the Orpheum is the equal in facilities and beauty of structure, both exterior and interior, of any theatre west of New York.

Business Men Enthusiastic. Falls' business men are especially enthusiastic over the Orpheum as indicative of the cosmopolitan growth of the city in offering an amusement project of such high class vaudeville entertainment as is contemplated by Solari Brothers, the owners. At a meeting yesterday thirty-one of the prominent merchants of the city gathered to arrange for a big public testimonial of their appreciation of the theatre project by making an event of the opening of the Orpheum the first week in October. It is planned to crowd the seating capacity of the building on the opening day by making a special advance sale of tickets. These will be in the hands of various committees of business men who will enter a campaign next Monday and Tuesday over the city which will be divided into sections for the work.

The tickets will be sold under this plan at $5 each and it is expected that the capacitv of the building will be oversubscribed as evidence of the obligation the people of Sioux Falls feel in the service rendered the city by the oepning of playhouse of the quality of the Orpheum. Tho Orpheum Structure The Orpheum (building itself has been constructed purely for theatrical purposes and has a total rapacity of 1,000 seats, including the main floor, a big balcony and I two boxes, all of which are so arranged, that every part of the stage is visible from any seat in the whole auditorium. "Many have wasted room In the construction of the- theatre," said Mr, Solari today, "but that is not our view of It. If any room is wasted, it is that the nublic will get the benefit. will pot be crowded In ordert a larger seating- capacity.

Wo could easily have made the total capacity 1.600 Instead of 1,000, but that extra 600 would have meant a loss of convenience and comfort to the public which the people themselves will be the first to appreciate on our opening, October 2. -W have no 'nigger heaven" and we have no gallery. The balcony and main floor afford the best accommodations and no matter where one is seated, any part of the stage can be seen and every word heard. The accoustics of the theatre are considered the best obtainable, as we have been able to do away with all reverberation and echoes." The front of the building is done in marble, with tile and oil paintings to be added to the decorations of the entrance within the next few days. Two ticket booths, one for general admissions and the other for reserved seats, will face on each side of the entrance.

A rest room directly off the entrance Is expected to prove of especial value to out of town theatre parties who come to the city for an evening's entertainment and do not wish to make a longer stop at a hotel. The rest room will be equipped with all conveniences for the pleasure of the Orpheum theater partons and will of itself prove an attractive and novel feature of the building. The foyer of the theatre proper will of itself be especially attractive as a lounging- room for playgoers. It is 20 by 66 feet and extends under the balcony on the main floor of the house. The interiof of the building, while not completely decorated as yet, has al-readv begun to show something of the beauty with which It will be finished, delightful scenic paintings covering the beautiful panels on the sidewalks and arrangement made for lighting that will sot off the whole decorative scheme in a marvel of smlued light.

Eight mamoth lighting fixtures, with globes thirty-six inehes in diameter, are used, providing a light peculiarly adapted for the purpose of a theatre auditorium. The decoration of the lighting fixtures is known as Louis XIV. type. Thoroughly Fireproof. Everv possible means have been used along modern lines to make the Orpheum theatre building thoroughly fireproof.

Standing either on the main floor or the balcony, one is able with a few steps to gain exit from the building at any one of six doorways. The whole structure- Is of marble, concrete, steel and tile, with all lighting and electrical facilities amply protected in themselves, that little possibility exists for danger in that direction. To further protect, the apparatus on the stage will be fireproof-ed, all electrical apsfiances and wires being encased In steel boxes and scenery and curtains nuns; rom steel rafters In the loft reof. A huge ventilator above the stage provides further protection by mean rof regulating all air current over the. auditorium and stage.

Telephones connect stage with other parts of the building. Another feature; Of the Orpheum Is the ventilating system) Which extends over the entire uildlng. An inlet pipe with huge fan operated by electricity In the basement a the building has a capacity of cubic feet an hour of fresh air which can be directed all over the theatre through tunnels under the floor which lead to 114 ventilators in the balcony and many more over the main, floor and In the ceiling. The building will be heated by a combined system of hot water In overhead conduits, and air which can be handled In connection with the ventilating system. Seven easily accessible and modern dressing ros for the actors en the bill, of the Orpheum are provided below the stage.

These will be comfortably outfitted and well lighted, with every convenience at- hand for tte visiting Contrary to the custom of many vaudeville theatres which now ask One of skyscrapers people's money built and 9.
