Historic Kentucky Cavern

A Rockport special to the Louis

Back among the Ohio County hills

caverns-one around which is woven
romantic story of tragedy and

formidable height protect the yawn.

1t wasshere that the cave jewellers

fore Kentucky became a settled
State. On the floor can be discover
ed many splotches of human blood
that tell a grim story of tragedy
enacted there in ante-bellum days.
The ravages of time have failed to
erase the blood stains. and today
they show just as plainly as in days
gone by.

are told in connection with its his.
tory, and while many have no doubt
been twisted and distorted in the
telling and retelling, the main facts
concerning the history of the place
are as follows:
While roaming over the Kentucky
wilderness a party of Kentucky
pioneers camped a few miles east of
Peters Cave. The party consisted
of five men and three women. While
out accommodating two member of
the party discovered the cave. and
as its spacious mouth afforded am
pie accommodation for the entire
party they moved their camp to the
cave. Here they intended to spend
the remainder of the winter. Fate
interviewed in tragic manner, how
ever. and instead of enjoying the
breezy camp life they fell victims to
the Indians.
One night at midnight the boot of
an owl was heard at a distance. They
knew what that cry meant The In
dams were abroad and on the trail
of their prey. The red men cine
nearer and nearer. Soon the Indians
came with a rush. yelling like a pack
of thirsty bloodhounds. The settlers
fought as long as they could, and
many a willy brave was killed. The
male members of the party were
slain, while the women were taken
captives One Of them was a young
and beautiful girl. her sweetheart
being among the slain. The Indians
left their dead victims and started
along the winding trail leading to
the top. The young maiden fought
her captors, and just as they reach
ed the topmost pinnacle she broke
away and started to run toward the
precipice overlooking a small stream
sixty feet below. AS she reached
the edge a brave caught up with
her. and as he raised his tomahawk
the girl leaped into space. Her
body was crushed and mangled on
the Jagged rocks below. What be-

ever knew.
Stories Of fabulous buried treas

lost his mind digging for the lost
gold. High up in the towering walls

James parish. Louisiana. When pick

ed into loose twists which are placed
under pressure until the juices are
forced out and the leaves become
black and sticky. These juices in

during this process rum is blown in
to the mass. 1t is finally stored to
cure, and at the end is Of peculiar

Greatest Motion Picture That

Miss Gardner in ShawIS, Drap.
cries and Gowns Costing
$4,000.

This motion picture is the largest
and most superb dramatic expression
of the motion-picture art ever
achieved. 1t is distinctly in lass to
itself. One mile of select film. One
hour and half is the time it takes
to show the picture. A splendid
corps of the highest-salaried artists,
carpenters. property men. modelers,
costumers, etc. was occupied two
months in preparing for the work
while over three months employed in
rehearsing and taking the picture.
The actual cost of the production
was forty-five thousand dollars. In
the course of the action of the drama
Miss Gardner wears jewels, rare tex
lures and quaint Oriental weave that
cost over one hundred thousand dol
lars. The picture is remarkable for
its refined sumptuousness, its ire
menduous dramatic power and grip
ping interest, and its entire freedom
from those vulgarities common to
Oriental dramas. In short, the pic.
ture was produced for American
men and women of culture and taste
Miss Helen Gardner is a glorious
poem as Cleopatra. The part woulC

Gardner's rhythmic beauty and dra
matte instincts, her intellectually
culture and delicacy, have combined
in her work to vivify and ennoblt
the character of Royal Egypt
even as Barnhardt might have done
at the age of twenty-six. Her cos
tunes are truly gorgeous, represent
ing not merely money, but exquisite
taste, thought and culture. In sew
eral scenes she wears shawls and
draperies and gowns that were made
in Egypt hundreds of years ago, and
jewels that cost over $4,000 co.
