Imprudent Actress and Players All Landed in the Jail.

The Taska vaudeville performers, after spending a week in Rensselaer, where they put up at the Makeever hotel, undertook to make their “getaway” Saturday night without paying their hoard bill, there being a balance due of about $25. Marshal Shesler and Night Officer Oritser went to the depot and brought all the troupe back to town and before Squire Bruner and then to jail, where they spent an uncomfortable hour, while a purse was made up about town to guarantee their hoard. This was done by a number of young fellows and the bam* fattera got out of town on an early train Sunday morning. The show was managed by a woman who claimed to he a Mexican and a man whose nose had a pronounced Hebrew hump. Together they went to Chicago. The other actors all claimed that the managers owed them a week’s salary, went to Delphi, where they will try to secure an engagement.
