POLI'S

For clasSiness, smartnesS and all around excellence there is not an act playing vaudeville dates at the pres ent time which can begin to approach B. A. Rolfe's clever production, "The Leading Lady. which is big hit and justly so at Polls this week. Mar guerite Haney, the petite star of the cast, would illumine any production and MT. Rolfe has given her the best of support in Ralph Lynn, real cemidian in every sense of the word. The beaautiful scenery, the elaborate costuming of the chorus and all else must represent a great investment on MT. Rolfe's account, and the end Jus tifies the means, for vaudeville would be the better if there were more acts of this style.
 The Big City Four are scoring an- other big hit on the bill this week with their tunefM songs and harmon ies,, and one reat novelty is the box dng kangaroo introduced by the Cor don Brothers in their bag punching act.
 Harry Gilbert, a singer with an en- tirely new line of stuff and an en- tirely new way of putting it over, is a solid hit. and the biggest scream al Polls in many day is uhe indescrib- able act of the Barry-Johnson com pany. More than one female patron of the theatre has laughed herself te the point of mysteries while this, ac'
 was on. and for those who have 2 good laugh in them and have pool | success i'm getting it out. the Barry Johnson act is recommended. For the coming week Manager Pol offers another bill of the sensationa | order, headed by William Rock ane Maud Fulton, late stars of the "Cand! shop, in their new offering which re- quires a carload of scenery and { dozen people to put it on. A specia feature of the coming weeks biM vii be the Four HIanl1ons of "Fantasma' fame.

Damaseua Swords.

It is seldom that really good speci- men of Damascus sword can be ob- tained. for the art of working and en- graving the kind of steel of which they are made is lost. These famous swords were made of alternate layers of iron and steel so finely tempered that the blade would bend to the hilt without breaking.

FATAL HUNTING ACCIDENT
Clifford McAfee, Son Of John McAfee.
Lost Life Near Mercersburg Last
Friday Morning.

Adlstressingaccldentoccurred A
near Mercersourg, last Friday
morning IN which Clifford Nc
Atee, aged 1S years, son of John
McAfee, well known resident t of
Mercersourg, lost his life. The
story of the accident Is, that,
Clifford, his father John Nc
Afee and the uncle Of the latter
James B. McAfee, left here early
Friday, morning to 90 hunting
quail and rabbits, driving south
ward in a surrey. They hunted
all morning with fair success and
at about l:30 0p. IN. were on the
John II. Rhea farm, tenanted by
Winnie Mellott. The older men
were in a field hunting and the
younger man had gone up the
lane to where the team wes tied
to drive the vehicle to meet the
couple out IN the field, so that
they might continue driving farth
er on their hunt.
Messrs. James and John Nc
Afee while walking through the
field heard shot. One said Cliff
has shot something" and then
they heard cry of what sound
ed like "Help" and looking to.
ward the team saw it was COM
ing toward them down the road
with Clifford in the front seat
leaning toward or against the
dashboard as If hurt. The older
men ran TO meet the team and |
found the reins hsnging loose
from the horse and the young
man crouched over against the
dashboard, with blood streaming
from his left side. "Uncle Jim"
McAfee reached his side first and
the two older men lifted him
down to the ground but as they
did so with groan or two he was
dead.
A full charge of medium sized
birdshot had entered his body
below the heart on the left side
and had gone through In an al
most horizontal direction and
odged so that most of the pellets
could be felt under the skin In
ais back. The gun was a Six
shot Winchester and 1t will
likely never be known just how
,he accident occurred for nobody
vas near the team when the shell
vas exploded. The natural sup.
position is that having chm bed
nto the surrey Clifford pulled /
lis gun after him, holding 1t by
he barrel, and that the ham mer
'aught and slipping exploded the
.artrldge.

Valley, about three miles north
of the point the Cham bersburg
pike crosses the mountain east of
McConnellsburg. They have two
large tents-one a cook tent with
professional colored cook, and
the other Is a large "livlng" tent
IN which are cots, chairs, stove,
and other necessaries, so that
after a hard days hunt, the boys
may 60 in and spend the night
with as much comfort as though
sleeping in their own hay mows
at home.
They went over and pitched
their tents and had everything IN
readiness to begin business at
daylight on the first day Of the
season. Up to this time, they
have not been very successful IN
getting deer; but what they have
lacked in quantity, they have
made up in quality, for on last
Thursday, while Henry Ham
was cautiously peerlng through
the brush in the hope of getting
his eyes on a big spike buck, he
was not a little surprised to see
heavlng in sight big black bear.
We are not going to tell you how
Henry felt just at that moment. |
Just imagine how you would
feel. Henry lost no time, how.
ever, and banged away and broke
one of the bears legs. This
frightened the bear so that II ran
away as fast as it could, but un.
fortunately for the bear 1t ran
right toward Sloan Warthln and
Sam Mellott, and when Henry
called for them to look out for a
bear, Sloan caught sight of Bruin
and put a shot IN the bears neck.
The bear then gave it up.
1t was brought to town Satur.

Tor bears are not plentiful in the

Bruce Sinner and his cousin
John Simmer were out on the

Ira Kerlin, of Knobsville, killed
a nice buck Monday, and Enoch
