THE LYRIC
serI1rough Fire to Fortune, j

tsThrough Fire to Fortune," one of the most interesting and most care fully produced motion pictures ever offered wdlI be shown for the last time in Bridgeport today at the Lyric thea tre both matinee and evening. The producing of thds play is deserving of great praise for the very effective manner in which the story is present ed. The scenes of the fire in the mine and the destruction of an entire vil- lage as it sinks into the earth, and the fire that follows completing the de- structdon are most realistic. Credit must be given almost entirely to the direction and interpretation, the direc- ton and staging in tTais case embGac- ing both form and treatment of an al- most Hawkes. production The. st1c- cess of this paloho drama. ds due to the lucid arrangement and delicate app preciatdon of dramatic values, to un- waverdng logic and consistency, to the pains taken in the small details which make action realistic, and 6he highly intelligent interpretation of the sub ject. On the same program with this big feature a. beautiful reproduction of the we'll known and popular opera Robin Hood will be shown. This completes one of the most attractive programs ever offered at the Lyric.

He's going to open the safe by force. I heard him say so. couldn't wait to hear more I saw him.
 4ssWho?' asked MT. Magee.
 "I don't know-a tall black figure hiding outside a window like myself. The man with one of the other keys, I suppose. The man Mr.. Bland heard walking about tonight I saw him, and I was terribly frightened.
 .'You trust me?'' asked the girl, with a little catch in her voice. Without knowing who I am or why I must have the money-yotRn get it for me2''
 Some people," said MT. Magee, meet all their long lives at pink teas and never know one another, while others just smile at each other across station waiting room that's enough .''
 I'm so glad, whispered the girl stI never dreamed I'd meet any one like you-up here. Please, oh, please be very careful. Neither Cargan nor Max is armed Bland is. should never forgive myself if you were hurt But you won't be, will you?"
 - gee; otherwise I'll be perfectly safe He went into the room and put on a gay plaid cap. Makes me look like Sherlock. Holmes,'' he smiled at the girl framed in the window When he turned to his door to lock it, he dis covered that the key, was gone and that it had been locked on the outside. "Oh, very wel1,' he said fippantly. He buttoned his coat to the chin, blew out the candles in No. and joined the girl on the balcony.
 "Go to your room,'' he said gently. .eYour worries are over. I'll bring you the golden fleece inside an hour"
 "Be careful,' she whispered. TBe very careful, Mr.-Bi1ly.''
 The justly celebrated moon that in summer months shed so much glamor on the romances of Baldpate inn was nowhere in evidence as MT. Magee crept along the ground close to the veranda. The snow sifted down upon him out of the blackness above. Three feet ahead the world seemed to end,
 "A corking night" he muttered hu- morously, flor my debut in the hold up business
 He swung up over the rail on to the veranda and walked softly along it mantil he came to a window opening into the office. Cautiously he peered in. The vast, lonely room was lighted by a single candle At the foot of the broad stair he could discern a great bulk seated on the lowest step, which he correctly took to be the mayor of

l whirling dervish down the snowy ] path to land in a heap five feet away. The next instant the mayor of Reuton and the black figure were locked in terrific conflict.
 For fifteen seconds, muttering, slip ping, egrappEng, the two figures waltz ed grotesquely about in the falling snow. Then the mayors feet slid from under him on the treacherous white carpet, and the two went down together. As MT. Magee swooped down upon them he saw the hand of the stranger find the mayors pocket and draw from it the package that had been placed there in the office few l moments before.
 Before that gentleman realized what had happened Magee had Wrenehed the package from his hand, thrown him back on the prostrate form of the highest official of Reuton and fled up the steps. Quickly the stranger re gained his feet and started in pursuit, | but he arrived at the great front door of Baldpate inn just in time to hear the lock click inside. Safe for moment behind 8 locked door, MT. Magee paused to get his breath The glory of battle filed his soul. It was not until long afterward that he realized the battle had been a | mere scufde in the dark.
 With no thought for MT. Bland, bound in his uneasy chair MT. Magee | hurried up the broad staircase of Bald pate. Now came the most gorgeous scene of ala fair haired lady; a knight she had sent forth to battle; the knight returned. tsYou asked me to bring you this, my lady" Business of surprise and joy on the 1ady's part, business also perhaps of adoration for l the knight. &
 At. the right of the stairs lay IT and the lady, at the left supposed 1y uninha bited land. As MT. Magee reached the second floor, blithely pie turing the scene in which he was to play so satisfactory a part, he paused, for halfway down the corridor to, the left an open door threw a faint light 1 into the hall, and in that light stood 8 woman he had never seen before. In this order came MT. Magee's 1mpres- sions of her-fur coated, tall, dark handsome with the naughty manner of one engaging a chauffeur.

DISAGREE AS TO AMOUNT.
Government and State Officials Differ
as to Number of Swamp Land
Grant Acres.
AUDITOR PUTS FIGURE AT 900, 900

Governor A. O. Eberhart returned
Monday morning after a brief alb
sence in Washington and the East.
While in the National Capitol Gov
ernor Eberhart inquired into the
status of nearly $4,000 acres Of
swamp lands now in dispute.
According to information obtained,
the department. at Washington is Of
the opinion that with the receipt Of
patents for between 10000 and 65,-
600 acres, Minnesota will have been
given her entire quota of swamp
lands under the swamp land grant
State Auditor Iverson, however, does
not agree with the department at
Washington. He says the total land
still coming to the state is fully
100000 acres. The original grant
was 5,S95,000 acres, of which 4,709.-
038 acres have been cleaned up and
patented to the state. In addition
to this, the state has lost nearly L.
100000 acres of land by reason, Of
contest by squatters and by con-
demnation proceedings brought BY
railroads. o.. So 70
Attorney General Smith, who was
also at Washington when Governor
Eberhart was there, took up this mat
ter of swamp lands with the depart
ment. The department at Washing
ton, General Smith says, makes the
point that Minnesota has not COM
piled with the requirements of the
grant, in that the state, in using the
proceeds for school purposes, has vio-
lated it's agreement with the, Federal
government. They say that the pro-
ceeds should have been used for the
reclamation of the land. -

TELLS OF EARLY DAYS
Prize Winning Article in Collier .
Weekly Gives Interesting Ac-
count of Bemidji's Infancy.
WASHINGTON VISITOR, AUTHOR

Considerable interest has been
aroused in Bemidji during the past
several days by an article which ap-
peared in the last issue of Golfers
Weekly, in which story of the lum-
berjack during the time of the city's
infancy is told. 90. o.. ~,
The story, the facts of which were
gathered no less than twelve years
ago, was written by James William
Fitzpatrick, Of Washington, D. c.,
and won for him a $500 prize in Col
lier's $4,000 Prize Fiction contest.
Early residents of Bemidji will re-
member that Fitzpatrick visited Be-
midji as early as 1902, being the
guest Of friends. He also spent one
winter in lumber camp near Bena.
He wrote several stories of the lum-
berjack and northern Minnesota ana
it is believed that Golfers prize win
ming story was written soon after
that time.
The story has been read by old
time residents of Bemidji with much
interest, many recognizing charac-
tiers who were prominent in the days
that Bemidji was in the midst of one
of the widest of numbering COM
munities. Each incident "Of the
Hospital Ticket" as the story is
named, is told in a most interesting
manner. 1t describes Bemidji in the
day that "automatic pianos and
monographs banged out their tunes
the rollers grew arm weary raking in
the chips with one hand and spin
ming the little ivory ball with the
other; the bartenders who stole from
the proprietor and customer with re-
ligiOus fredoom," and tells of "fish-
berry," the famous knockout drop
which was the instrument used in Sc
curing from the lumberjack his saw
ings from seasons work.
The story tells of saloon brawls,
camp fights and other incidents
which in the past were characteristic
of the lumberjack life. A trip to a
Bemidji hospital, referred to as St.
Marys, is the theme
Several Of the men mentioned in
the story are still residents Of Be-
midi and we'll known here, while
others, it is believed, were brought
into the story for convenience sake
Neighboring towns are also mention
ed in the story, which recalls a dras-
tic contrast Of the dry" Bemidji Of
today.
