About lO:45 Sunday morning word
was received here to the effect that
two men had been taken from a cal Of
lumber at Reverse, a small station
fifteen miles east of here, and Coro-
ner Eaton, Sheriff Stevens and other
county officials left Immediately for
that place and brought back the
bodies
A coroners jury was empanneled
and such evidence as was presented
to that body indicated that the men

as Joe Whitney and James Powers

OPERATOR DEFfES DEATH

The brave retreat of the Belgian
army before the victorious advance
of the Germans during the early
stages of the European war and the
spectacular bursting of shells shat
tering buildings to ruins, is seen In
the European war movies which will
be shown here within a short time
These films actually portray rea
events of the war They were taken
by motion picture artists hurried
across the ocean when the conflict
opened 1t took courage and fear.
lessness on the part of the camera
men to secure the pictures.
Within five hundred feet of the
operator as he cranked his machine
soldiers We're fighting, shells We're
bursting and buildings we're flying
into fragments or in flames. One of
the pictures vividly shows a burn
ing building aside of one as yet un.
scared by the war Suddenly a
great German BLACK Johnson" shell
strikes the latter building and it is
blown into thousands Of pieces which
fly in every direction. This is one
of the most spectacular sights ever
photographed.
Belgian soldiers fighting in the
trenches, some falling in the agony
of death, others being struck by
Gle man bullets, are also graphically
photographed in the wonderful mov-
ing picture. The operator braved
death from bullets and took the
cameras within fifty feet of the
trenches He escaped mscratched.
The Belgian movies are recognized
as one of the modern wonders in the
motion picture worlds They should
be seen by everyone given the OPP
portunity.

WE WILL CELEBRATE
Independence Day VIII be Appro-

The question of whether or not
Mountain Home should celebrate the
Fourth of July has hung fire for the
past couple of weeks, and it was
hard to figure just what the answer
would be- However, during this week
the finance committee spent little
time soliciting funds for the purpose
of getting up a celebration and the
first hour and a half of their labols
was so successful as to practically as
sure proper observance of Indepgnd-
.ence day All che business men who
were called upon responded literally
with cash donations, and though not
enough has yet been raised 10 cover
the entire expense 10 be incurred, the
committee will again take up the
work of soliciting funds about Mon
day or Tuesday and there is no doubt
but that a sufficient amount will be
forthcoming.
