Ashland. Va. February 2o.-The Ran

and though the Yellow Jackets won
the first game last Friday night. it
was no walk away. and the score to-
morrow night will most likely be very
close
The Yellow Jackets are in fairly good
shape for this game. and if Walker

game the local quint will present a
strong lineup.
This is next to the last gamo on the
Yellow Jackets schedule. unless an
extra game is played to break tie tie
which will result if William and Mary
beats flampden Sidney or if the yellow
Jackets beat William and Mary.
The last game OH the Yellow Jackets
schedule is next Thursday night. when
William and Mary will send her uuint

"The Cave Dwellers' Romance"

''The Cave Dwellers' Romance"
 One of the best two-reel Bisons of recent date is embodied in this film, which is a Montgomery production and in which is great deal of care full detail work is evident in the pro- duction. The story, which is an In- dian tale of more than ordinary inter- est. has been garnished with weird scenes in which serpents in plenty abound. This latter is an added fea- ture of interest in the picture, the cave scenes being perfectly natural in atmosphere, with the snakes glid- ing about. apparently unnoticed by those participating in the preparation of the film.
 Arthur Ortya plays the role of War ratas, who dissolves into the form of a horse in order to rescue Mona, the daughter of the Chief of the Cave Dwellers, and witK whom he is in love-
 The picture abOunds in remarkable scenes of beauty and interest. Jack Messick, Mona Darkfeather Indian John, Arthur Ortya, Jim Da- wis, Harry Von Meter, and Billy Git tinger appear.
 In addition to the above, Grease Paint Indians, Holy Cities in Japan.

AWOKE ON GRAVE
 IN THE CEMETERY
MAN FROM LOUISIANA TELLS STRANGE STORY OB BEING
 ROBBED HERE.
Is Now Looking For Man Who Could Whistle and Initiate Birds
 And Beasts.

A story leaked out yesterday after noon of the robbery of man named KavanaEgh by companion at an Isearly hour Wednesday morning, but it is iApossiblesto verify the rumor.
 On Tuesday night, Kavanaugh, who is track forman" for the Rock Island, at work near Winfield, Louisiana, arrived in this city en route to some point-in Northwest Ar kansas, where he intended to spend the remainder of the summer. He had about $50 or $6O with him, and decided to get out and have good time,' in which he was so successful that by midnight it was impossible for him to recognize his friends. He selected one from the crowd, how ever, who had peculiar stunt of and insects, as his partner to tho cemetery. A carriage was ordered and paid for by Kavanaugh and the two started for the cemetery. This is about all that Kavanaugh can re- member until he awoke lying across a grave in the cemetery, and minus his coat, hat and money. He return ed to the city and refused to make any complaint to the officers, but in sisted on finding his friend" and demanding an explanation.
 IA bartender at local saloon says that he saw Kavanaugh and his friend together and that he heard Kavanaugh suggest going to the cemetery, and that he saw a roll of bills in Kavanaugh's possession be. fore he and his accomplished friend left the saloon. He thought it rather a strange idea that Kavanaugh want ed to go to the cemetery, but at. tributed it possibly to the fact that when drinking he recalled some one who had diedSand he had forgotre. where he was, and desired to go out to the cemetery to look after the grave.
 Needless to state that Kavanaugh is still on the hunt for the man who relieved him of his money.
