WHAT HAS BECOME
OF NIMROD Uric?

There is considerable inquiry going
on over the state regarding the present
whereabouts Of Nimrod Uric, convicted
in the Distict Court here several years
ago of the murder of Quilici at Inlay,
sentenced to be hanged, but afterwards
eommuted to life imprisonment. 1t is
alleged that several days ago Warden
Dickerson of the state penitentiary,
left for Redding, California, to bring
back a convict who had violated his
parole, taking Uric along as chauffeur.
Ii is stated that the ear broke down
and that Warden Dickerson returned
to the prison 9th the man he went
after, leaving Uric in California, in
charge Of tbs auto Whether Uric has
returned 10 she prison or not is not
known at this tue.
1t is said that Uits lad petition for
parole ready TO present at a recent
meeting of the pardon board, but that
such a protest went up from Humboldt
county that he concluded not to press
the mater at that time.
The people of this county intend
to see that Uric is punished for his
fiendish crime, and if he is not put be-
hind the walls and kept there at hard
labor, an effort viii be made to have
him tried here on the Indictment charg
ing him with the murder of Mrs.

NEXT MONDAY NIGHTS
FEATURE AT THE NIXON

William A. Brady presents Mollie
King, supported by Douglas MaeLean
in GA Woman's Power" at the Nixon
next Monday night.
GA Woman's Power' is a tale of
regeneration and good growing out of
what seems morass of evil. Like a
shining rainbow, Minerva's great love
guides Newt to a better, nobler life
and the abandonment of his oath of
revenge.
Nevis determination to kill Henry
Falkins, who has denounced Newt and
sent him to prison, grows deeper rooted
with the years. 1t seems that the red
branded hatred in his mind has scared
its impression upon every fibre of his
being And then Minerva enters his
life. The change in Nevis nature does
not come in a flash. Despite the infu-
enee of the girl he still cherishes his
hatred.
Fate throws the two men together in
the Philippines. Amidst battle and
bloodshed the vision of Minerva fol
lows Newt like a spirit of betterment.
His opportunity to slap Henry Falkins
occurs; but the influence of Minerva
reaching out even across miles of salt
ocean, stays his hand at the eleventh
hour. How Nevis final stage on the
upward path he has set himself to fol
low is reached, is depicted in scene
of trenchant power and climactic
strength.
