AUTO AND TEAM CoLLIDED.
Charles +. Browns Carter Car in
Smash-up Wednesday Night.

Charles +. Browns Carter ear and a
horse owned by George Z. Crowell
came together on Western avenue
about s clock Wednesday night, and
although the results might have been
worse the damage was not inconsider'

opposite the Judge Wheeler place, now
owned and occupied by Hermon +.
Eddy, he met o. IL. Stickney driving
the horse attached to a lumber wagon.
Neither driver saw the other and the
result was an unpleasant surprise for
the occupants of both vehicles. The
automobile struck the horse and hurl'
ed him against the iron fence IN front
of Mr.. Eddy's residence, turning him
endwise in the thills and throwing him
upon his back. His hind legs became
entangled in the fence and as he
kicked with considerable spite he was
cut in a number of places. Nearby
residents and Others got the horse onto

shown when the contest between Dlek
Seeley and Dave Burly is tirst exposed,
and as the plot unfolds itself more and
more. as ,Jimsey insists on paying back
the quarter he hadn't fairly earned, !.
as Dick Seeley shoulders the wrong Oh
another and fights his battle alone, as
pretty Dorothy Randall urges her lover
ON TO still greater heroism and as the
bows one and all show their courage IN
the face of the greatest temptation ana
despair. this one great theme is blazoned
wider and wider and made to glow
brighter up to the very end, where the
villain is hidden to 90 with no PUNISH

The "Picture SENSE Of Lyman Howe.

To travel constantly up and down
this old world Of ours, and regardless
OF time or expense collect and coneon'
trate into one program, all that will
incite your interest, wonder and
amusement; this is the unique vocation
of Lyman IL. Howe who will show his
new program of moving pictures in
the auditorium Oct. 81. Time, pa
tient research aud money in them
selves are not enough 10 insure the
success he has achieved, A knowledge
of the public taste, a knowledge OF
what is really interesting and what Is
not, what TO take and what to ignore,
is absolutely necessary in the collec'
tion Of n program that must be uni
formly and universally interesting
Mr.. Howe s many years of experience
ms an exhibitor annually to over q
million people, has surely qualified
him rs perhaps no other exhibitor Is
qualified. However, even knowledge
gained by experience does not suffice
No one can achieve success as a jour
nalist unless possessed of what II
vaguely but best expressed as the
"news sense 1t must be innate, in
stinctiye. II cannot be cultivated
| Precisely as some possess such :
"news sense Mr.. Howe possesses
an instructive "picture sense thai
enables him instantly to know wheth
er a given scene, event, or adventure
will incite interest, surprise, or enter
tainment. 1t is a fortunate combina
ton of these things that enables hin
to show il so well that after seeinl
his exhibition you can discuss tn
scenes you have seen as though yo'
had really visited them.
