IN THE "MOVIE" WORLD.
Grand Theater Opens to Packed
Household Bookings All TheaterS.

The new Grand theater, operated
by Taft Bros, opened Saturday even
ing to a packed house at the first per-
Torrance and the street crowded with
people waiting for the second show.
The Taft brothers are very quiet gen
tlemen, and made little claims as to
what they would do. The patrons
found however, a daintily furnish lit
tie house, seating slightly over 200
persons, equipped with opera chairs,
ventilating system, and indirect light
ing. The walls are tastefully deco
rated and the interior as, as whole
very pleasing. The show itself was
good, although perhaps one film was
not quite suited to an audience OF
youthful persons, and the screen
work, etc., excellent. The program
will change each night, and appear
every night except Sunday.
The Orpheum has been showing its
usual excellent quality of films with
two serials weekly, and big feature
Tuesday night Wednesdays, Thurs
days and Fridays the show consists of
selected one-reel dramas, travel stu
dies and eXcrutiatingly funny car
ICONS. Last week the adventures of
a dog detective in a cartoon comedy,
drew forth shrill disapproval from a
canine in the audience and made quite
a laugh.
The Iona Fendell Stock company
which played here last week did not
do the business a show of this class
deserves. Miss Fendell is a clever
little actress and she is ably assisted
throughout by ter-than-the-aver-
age support. They play Boscobel this
week in the same plays given here.

OWNS REAL sURE.'NOUGH EAGLE
Willis Knox Holds Captive Member
of the Family Haliaetus LeucOcephallS

Haliaetus Leococephalis is the sclen-
tific name for the bald-headed eagle
family and the bird is supposed to
live on fish and inhabit the seashore,
lakes and rivers He also adorns the
silver dollar we believe, and is the ma
tional bird of the land of the free.
Willis Knox of this city has not one
of the least of this family in his pos
session, having obtained him Cor herr
from a man named Schumacher who
lives near Glen Haven. Mr.. Schu-
macher found the bird in a disabled
condition on his farm about two weeks
ago. when he was cutting willows in
a swamp nearby, and captured 1T.
While in Glen Haven on Sunday OF last
week Mr.. Knox heard about the mat
ter and seeing Schumacher, made
dicker with him the result being that
he came home with his eagle-sh1p.
Getting him to Lancaster in box
was one thing, but getting him into
a cage and tethered distinctly another,
as Willis and his father, w. G. Knox,
found out. He was finally subdued
and placed in a wire affair built for
the purpose, about ten feet long and
four feet high.
One would not call abe, as Mr..
Knox has periodically named him,
old, although his claws are all out
that is, they are out about 6 inches.
He has a beak of majestic proportions
and an eye of such brightness and
spirit that the Herald man took off
his hat off and kept respectful dis
fance from the center of affairs. He
stands at least 21a feet in height,
and has a wing spread of six feet or
more.
Being fully recovered from his in
Jury Abe, is as "cantakerous" as you
please and would make short work OF
some of the misch1evous small boys
who bothered him until Mr.. Knox was
forced to take him from his cage in
the yard and tether the bird III the
basement. Abe likes mice and wants
all that can be brought. He also likes

liver, and anyone that has any liver
to spare can bring it around and see
Abe eat it up.
The bird is really handsome type,
with a white head on which the feath-
ers lie close unless one happens to
get within striking distance, and
glossy brown feathers of great beauty.
His tail is white and he resembles al
most in every respect the flying eagle
on the American dollar that we saw
once in bank many years ago.
Mr.. Knox has no plans for the pres
ent, but will keep ABE" in good
shape and may sell him to a zoologi-
cal garden or aviary in some large
city. Abe likes callers, but he is a
dignified gentleman and will stand no
trifing-Look out!

Battling" Barrett Caught.

Sheriff He'll went to Platteville via
Hazel Green Thursday, and by slick
little bit of detective work, apprehend-
ed Ira, or Battling" Barrett, wanted
in connection with the rape case for
which "Dickey' Richards is now serv-
ing a sentence in Waupun. BAIT
ling was working for farmer named
Johnson, who lives several miles north
of Platteville, and spent the nights at
his brothers house nearby.
Mr.. He'll had previously heard that
Barrett was working on a farm near
Calamine, but believed that he was
somewhere in the Platteville vicini-
ty and unable to get away for lack
of funds. He went to the farm Thurs
day evening and was advised to get
back early in the morning when Bar
rett would be working in the field.
This was done, and the man taken in
to custody.
Barrett was taken before Justice
Metcalf of Platteville where he waived
examination. He will await trial be-
fore the circuit court.

PATCH GROVES NEW SCHOOL.
Structure Costing $4,000 Nears Conn
pletiOn, and Will Be Occupied
Next Fall.

The party of visitors to Grant coun-
ty, Saturday, were much interested
in the new township school building
being constructed now at Patch Grove
One thing that particularly impressed
the guests was the superior quality of
the material used and the business
like way in which the building is be-
ing completed The old school build
ing stood in a different part of the
village from where the new one is To-
Gated, the latter having a command
ing site at the top Of hill on the east
side where two acres will be utilized
for the building, Fairgrounds, agri-
cultural department, etc.
White sand that is said to look very
much like glass sand is being
used in the building work and the
deposit from which it is taken bearing
large quantities of silica, lies just two
miles north of Patch Grove in i'm
mense quantities. An engineer pres
ent said, with road through Patch
Grove, the sand might become com
mercially very important.
An Indication of the progressive
character of the Patch Grove township
people is evidenced in the fact that
the money for the entire school prof
ect is on hand and as fast as the work
is completed payment will be made.

Fined for Fighting.

Sheriff He'll went to Livingston
Wednesday of last week for the pur-
pose of bringing before Justice G. w.
Burrows of this city, man named
Lester Druen, employed as a mine
foreman in the Livingston neighbor-
hood. 1t is said that a strike was
called at one CT both of the mines, tie
men making the customary demand
that of higher pay. Trouble grew out
of this and statement was made that
three of the malcontents had threat
ened Druen with beating.
Druen met one of the three men al
legged to have threatened him on the
street in Livingston and asked him
about the matter. 1t is said that man
who was named Ed Polglaze, called
Druen a harsh name and the latter
struck then and there with great force
and violence, in fact sufficiently to
cause wound that later required 5
stitches to be sewed in Mr.. Polglaze's
head.
1t is said also that the Livingston
marshal and other citizens interviewed
and were threatened with gun in
the hands of Victor Watson, a SYM
pathizer with Mr.. Druen.
Druen represented that the provo
cation was great, but was told by the
court that the law demanded only one
course and that was a fine. He paid
the same and costs amounting to $5S.
Watson appeared Thursday afternoon
and pleaded guilty to the offense of
CARRYING concealed weapons. He paid
a fine of $50 and costs.

Monster Swapping Turtle.
Walter Damn was looking after
road matters on Grant, Saturday,
south of Porter's bridge and spied a
"big-type" mud turtle disporting him
self on the banks of that turbld
stream. Mr.. Damn captured the rep
tile and brought him to Lancaster,
where he aroused considerable inter
est. The turtle was IA inches long
and 10 inches wide across the back,
and had aspiked tail like an alliga-
tor. He did not seem to care for his
new environment, and refused to make
friends.

A Card to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines

We are anxious to see that all lines owned by
other parties and connected with US are kept such
condition as to furnish efficient service Where the
owners OF rural lines are responsible for their upkeep
we want to cooperate with them.
All lines require thorough overeauiing occa-
sionaly if the best service is to be obtained We
recommend that every line connected with us be
overhauled least year and that at least one
experienced telephone man assist in this work. The
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons
of the line, makes the amount paid by each man
small and this cost will be more than offset by the
improved service.
If the owners of rural telephone lines in this sec
zion are experiencing trouble with their service, we
will appreciate their talking the matter over with our
Manager or writing us fully. We will gladly do
what g can toward helping you improve the con-
dition o. your lire.
