ment station at the University, the

eds for range improvement in the state
He will concentrate his work on the

STATE HAS NEARLY
COMPLETED Gaze

This morning b. w. johnson was
called by the State as a witness in the
clark trial. He testified that he and
his father, T. II. Johnson, were owners
of 81 per cent of the Tulula mine,
Clark, Rooney and Fuller owning the

last over the hill from the mine at the
time the shot was fred which ended
Hendra' IS life, but that he was in sight

Rooney, Fuller and Mullaly were stand
ing there
Yesterday the testimony of several
witnesses at the preliminary examina-
ton Of Clark, held in the early part of
1909, was offered in evidence and adj
mitted over the objection of defend
ant. This includes that given by A.
NJ. Williams, who died here year
ago last September, and a man named
Mills. who refused 10 come here from
California, and S. G.. Updike, now liv-
ing in Los Angeles.
Williams, who was present at the
time of the shooting, was the State s
principal witness at Clark 5 first trial

Hendra was fred from behind a rock
when Clark gave the signal by raising
his hand.
Mills was also a member of the Hen.

1.-THE QEMEN(EAU CASE"
AT NIXON THIS EVENING

"The Clemenceau Case" will be the
feature attraction at the Nixon this
evening, with Theda Bara, the'' vam-
pire woman, as the star, supported by
William Shay, Stuart Holmes and an
all star cast.
No actress has ever made a more
profound sensation than the world-fa
nous "vampire woman has created
in "The Clemeneeau Case" in which
she appears under the William Fox
management. The leading woman of
the noted Theatre Antoine, Paris, is
literally the rage from coast to coast.
The Cleveland Press terms her face
the most beautifully wicked in the
world Miss Bara S career, since she
played leading parts with the celebrat-
ed Jane Harding in France, has been a
succession Of triumphs. Upon the screen
however, she has created ON impression
that far outdoes her stage fame.
Few actors faces are more familiar
to the vast audiences of screen fans
than that of William f. Shay, who por-
trays the. leading male character of
stThe Clemenreau Case. Mr.. Shay
before adopting the motion picture pro.
fession, starred at the head of his own
companies AMI has appeared in sup
pert of nlaEA noted actors and act
resses
Few leading men are better known
than Stuart Holmes or more popular
than this polished actor. He has been
seen here on the screen in g Life s
Shop Window and several other Of
the wonderful Fox productions
Jane Lee, the tiniest of all little
girl dramatic artists, has caused more
real tears to be wept by spectators in
The Clemenceau Case" than many a
grown up emotional actress. Jane is a
true Baby Bernhardt. A closeup"
ST little Jane crying bitterly at her
parents unhappy home life is one of
the most remarkable features of this
remarkable picture.
