NOTES ON THE PHANTOM,
AT TIE TEMPLE TODAY

-'DAiNo Wv - HE FItANlONI'
AT TIE TEMPLE TODAY
Frank keenan, as the star of The
Phantom the new Triangle release,
has stopped playing southern colonels
long enough to do his bit In this
play, which shows him as a notorious
gentleman burglar Thus far has the
hero OF the battle Of Mint Julep fall
en-!
One Of the youngest players at any
Of the coast studios is Frank keenan,,
star Of the new Triangle release, THE
Phantom" although before coming
into the films he was a speaking
stage fav0rite for more than thirty
seven years. He rides like trooper,
swims in the Pacific Tar out beyond
his depth and prides himself on be-
ing the best amateur ballroom dane
er in America.
Persons who witness the showing
of THE Phantom" the newest Trl-
angle feature release, IN which Frank
Keenan, appears as star, will have a
glimpse Of keenan,, as his friends
know him. In private life he has the
reputation OF being one of the best am
ateur ballroom dancers in the coun-
try and the scenes in fashionable So
ciety give him full opportunity to
demonstrate.
The Phantom in which Frank
Keenan, appears as star on the Tri-
angle program, has practically all of
its scenes laid indoors This just
happened so on account of the story,
but it is significant in demonstrate
ing that people no longer have to see
water splash and horses run in order
TO derive enjoyment from the pic
lures.

NARROW ESCAPE

p. Andersen. butcher employed by
S. A. Imelli, had narrow escape
from being gored to death by steer
Tuesday afternoon.
While a bunch of steers was being
driven through town, one of them fell
and injured it's leg, and being impos-
sible to drive 1t to Minden with the
others to be shipped, 1t was sold to
the local shop. The animal was
driven to the corral and when an ef-
fort was made to drive 1t into the
slaughtering pen, it suddenly at

Park scaled 7-foot fence, but Ander-
son was caught by the steer before he
could gain the fence and was rolled
over and over in the snow. Finally
one of the steers horns went through
Andersen's sweater near the back OF
his neck and for few moments il
looked as though the man would be
gored to death He finally freed him.
self and attempted to climb the fence
when the steer pinned him to the wall
with both horns about his legs. He
was finally able to free himself and
climbed to safety.
Both men were on foot and Mr.. Park
had nothing with which to help his
friend and was an unwilling spectator
to what he firmly believed would be
tragedy.
The steer was SO badly crippled in
one foot that the men did not believe
he could move fast enough to catch
them, and there seems to be a moral
in this occurance Look out for in
jured steers.

COWS MAKE
HIGH TEST

Holland Cayvan De Kol, No. 1574S3;
Maud f. Third. No. 24O735 and Lena
De Kol, No. 240736, three purebred
n-Friesian cows, owned by DIR.
E. II. Hawkins of Gardnerville, have
just completed seven-day official
test and the results are given below:
Holland Coyvan De Kol tested as
high as "A and gave 457.S. pounds of
milk and 19,267 pounds of butter In
the seven days.
Maud F. Third tested as high as 4.
and gave 1882 pounds of milk and
14.012 pounds of butter-fat.
Lena De Kol tested as high as 4.6
and gave 363.S pounds of milk and
14.779 pounds of butter-fat.
This is a remarkable record when
the fact is taken under consideration
that during the week the tests were
made, the weather was extremely
cold and unfavorable to test of this
nature
Holland Cayvan De Kol did so we'll
that she will be put into the Semi
Official yearly test and it Is predicted
that she will make a name for herself
during the year 1916.
W. NJ. Regan, assistant professor in
Dairying and Animal Husbandry at
the University of Nevada has notified
DR.. Hawkins, that while he had
charge of the official testing in the
State of Missouri, covering period
of years, only three cows surpassed
the test made byHolland Cayvan De
kol Maud. He urged that the three
COWS be entered in the yearly test
and predicts that they will make
enviable records. DR.. Hawkins has
decided to act as suggested by Prof.
Regan and will enter the three cows
in the yearly semi-official test
