MOVING PICTURE FEATURES

This afternoon and tonight there
will be a long and varied program at
the Temple: a Paramount cartoon,
Hearst news pictorial, Ham and Bud
comedy, Vitagraph comedy, Lubin
drama.
Tomorrow Mae Murray will be seen
here again. She will appear in the
Famous Players production of "The
Big Sister," a drama Of New York
Life by William Hurlburt. The story
deals with the underworld. In the role
of Betty, Miss Murray plays a girl
of submerged stratum, who is per-
fectly honest and upright but whose
poverty has entangled her with a set
Of gangsters. Over her they con-
tinually hold the terror of taking from
her little Jimmy, her small brother.
BY constant terroriZation, Nifty
MendeZ, a stool pigeon, succeeds in
forcing Betty to act, but the girl, in
stead of giving herself up to him,
takes little Jimmy and runs away.
While they are travelling along the
road, an automobile strikes the boy,
breaking his leg. Rodney Charming,
the owner of the car, takes both Bet
ty and the boy to his home. Betty
and Charming finally become engaged.
nifty" turns up to threaten her, but
an old friend, Joe Kelly, interferes in
Betty's behalf.
Miss Murray travelled from the
Lasky studios in Hollywood, Cal, to
the Famous Players studios in New
York to make this picture. This is
one of the features made under the
merger of Lasky and the Famous
Players.
The picture, "Miss Petticoats," at
the Temple last night, was not only
interesting, but a good lesson on the
evils of gossip.

Blood curdling stories OF Indians

We will now relate an incident OF
some fighting qualities manifested
by one Of the aged citizens OF Civil
War times.
He himself was a soldier in the
war OF 1912, OF search and seizure"
fame. He had probably participated
in what is known as "Dudley's De-
feat" at the battle OF Raisin River in
Michigan.
When the wild rumors that Zoli-
Golfer, with a hundred thousand
men, had crossed at Cumber-
land Gap, and would cross the Big
Hill In two days, were circulated,
Isaac Coyle, then over eighty years
old, came up from his home on
Owsley's Fork Hugh Post Office
with a fragment OF what had been
a knife for cutting straw, in the old
fashioned cutting box" II consisted
Of the wooden handle and about six
inches OF the blade.
This was his weapon with which
he, and as many more as would join
him, were going ~ meet "Zollies"
men. His daughter. Peggy Davis,
laughed at him, and remarked. Dad
you can't fight with such a weapon
as that" He replied. MY Lord. this
will do for close quarters" and he
meant what he said.
The skirmish between Colonel
SCOTS Cavalry, Confederate. and
Colonel Metcalf. at the head of
Federal regiment Of cavalry. fought
at the base OF Pilot Knob. where
Pilot School-house now stands. was
mentioned in our first chapter OF
Civil War" Colonel Metcalrs defeat
was demoralizing TO the men under
him.
His regiment was armed with
some toy Smith a Wessen Carbines,
and revolvers Of the same make, and
regular Cavalry sabers.. The guns
were beautiful little breech-loading
pieces, OF about ~ caliber.
They made fine squirrel rifles,
many Of which were thrown away
or left, in the disorderly retreat.
Some dashed up the PERCEPTIONS
sides of Fast Pinnacle" others up
Cow Bell hollow and many Of them
threw away their arms. which
were found by citizens living in the
neighborhood.
East and West Pinnacle are
famous because Of Indian Fort and
many relics of prehistoric times
and the guns thrown away in this
early sanguinary engagement be-
tween Federalist and Confederate
troops on Kentucky soil, the state
then striving TO maintain unarmed
neutrality"

CIVIL wAR-CHAPTER FOUR
BY J. w. Van Wrinkle

The fourth chapter in the series OF
Civil War" "reminiscences will deal
with names, incidents, and anec-
dotes familiar 10 only a few present
day readers Of The Citizen. The
names in Jackson County as I recall
them.-Baleses. Penningtons, Isaacs,
Brewers. Copes, Harrisons, Gabbards
and numbers of others cannot
recall, were soldiers in the 7th and
9Th Kentucky Infantry. Colonel
Garrard Of Clay County commanded
the 18th and Colonel Barnes Of Estill
County the 9Th.
II was part Of the latter's COM
mand under Captain Wilson that
scaled the heights Of Lookout noun
tain and fought the battle above
the clouds"
II is not our purpose in this fourth
chapter TO speak OF battles in detail.
but 10 relate a few incidents con-
nected with the earliest invasion Of
Kentucky by a Confederate army.
First in order is a narrative OF q
picket skirmish that occurred at
Mershon's Cross Roads in Laurel
County.
A. l.. Scoville, as we remember,
kept the tavern at Mershon's Cross
Roads, the name Of Star route post
Office.
David Benge, uncle Of the writer,
and Sidney Benge, a cousin. men,
bers Of Wolford's command, and an
Irishman - Shockensy were on
picket duty at Scoville's and had
their horses picketed while the men
ate breakfast. Suddenly a squad Of
Confederates came on in a dash and
the men referred to barely had time
Ia mount and "skeedaddle." which
they did-except Shockensy, who
had his thigh broken and was cap
tured.
The Benges, uncle and cousin,
rode as they never rode before, the
Confederates firing as they followed
in hot pursuit
In the chase Sidney's horse was
disabled, or at least a Confederate
cavalryman was so close that he
abandoned his horse and took TO
the timber. Sidney told the writer
that he fired on his pursuer, but did
not know that the charge took effect.
The Confederate's mount dashed
on and came along side Uncle David
and tamely surrendered 10 him.
Cousin Sidney came up with Uncle
in due time. and came in home, with
the black Confederate charger, in
the place OF the horse abandoned by
Sidney.
The latter had a "close CALI
bullet holes in his hat. coat, shirt
(blouse) and the shoulder seam on
right shoulder cut in two.
Uncle David served till the close
OF the war and died a pensioner at
his home near "Needmore." Estill
County, Ky. Cousin Sidney com
mitted suicide by shooting him
self, not very long after the incident
just related.
The picket skirmish at "Mershon's
Cross Roads" was preliminary TO an
engagement between some Ohio
troops and Colonel Wolford's
Cavalry and the advance OF General
Zolicofer, commanding part OF
General Prices Division, which
separated on the Cumberland and
Tennessee River in Kentucky. The
engagement was fought at Wild
Cat Hill, not far from Livingston,
resulting in repulse OF General
ZolicOffer's forces.
