fice of Throckmorton & Brown,
the former an ex-governor of
Texas, and the latter was after-
wards chief justice of the su
preme court of that state. Some

Vernon, Texas, in 1899 for pois-
oning his wife. In Oklahoma,
the negroes, Alf Hunter and Ed
Ellis who killed Sheriff W. G.
Garrison of Oklahoma county,
were tried and convicted before
Judge Brown in Blain county.

Jean and Ord Bohannan are
two really great artists. They
are both vaudeville favorites who
have given several seasons to the
Coit & Alkahest Bureaus in Ly-
ceum. The Midland welcomes
them with open arms. Their
program is lovely, original, and
includes readings, impersona-
tions, tenor solos, soprano solos,
duets, musical readings and
sketches.
Elias Day says of them, “The
Lyceum welcomes artists of thei
ability with open arms. When
trained musicians of their won-
derful talent begin to look Lyce-
umward and show enthusiasm
for it, it is sign that, we are grow
ing toward those ideals for which
we have been striving, lo! these
many years. Mr. Bohannan has
a wonderful voice and an inter-
pretation that will make him ap-
preciated by all audiences that
may be lucky enough to have the
pleasure of hearing him,and Mrs.
Bohannan’s playing is on a par
with his excellence.”
