DIDN’T SHOW UP The Newlyweds Didn’t Fill Engagement Here Last Evening. COMPANY STRANDED At Kendallville—Actress Attached Manager’s Trunk For Wages. “The Newlyweds’ ” show troupe 1 didn’t "show up” in Decatur Monday evening to till their engagement In Bosse’s opera house, as advertised pretty heavily for some time, nor did they take time or t<ouble to send any word to Manager Bosse, as they were probably too busy rustling around for another job to make enough money to pay their way "back home.’’ A Kendallville dispatch gives the following account of their troubles: "Miss Helen Pees, one of the actresses of “The Newlyweds,” the attraction which was billed to appear at the opera house Saturday night, and was cancelled, stranded at this place, Harry O’Lynn, the manager, not having enough money to pay the members of the entire cast. As a result, Miss Pees, who was without a penny, made a canvass at the various stores in the city with hopes of securing a position as clerk, enabling her to secure sufficient money to purchase car fare to her home at Indianapolis. Her efforts were unsuccessful and as the manager owed her sl9, the only way of securing money was to attach his trunk, which contained some valuable articles. Justice Laish issued a capias and Deputy Marshal Joe Weber arrested O’Lynn at the union depot and he was taken into custody. He was brought before Justice Lash’s court and a compromise was effected whereby he gave the actress three dollars and a signed note for sl6, which he agreed to pay when he arrived home at Chicago.

“The manager himself was stranded and was obliged to borrow money from one of the members of the company to secure his car fare back to Chicago. Some of the members of the company went to Chicago while others went to Indianapolis, sick of the show business.” REV. MAAS AT EVANGELICAL.
