Dennis White, arrested in Des

for the Winslow holdup and assault
has been identified. E. r. Winslow
and Mrs. Winslow, who were both
wounded by the gunman whom they
fought off when he attempted to hold
them up and rob their grocery store
the night Of Jan. 16, have identified
White as their assailant. Taken to the
office of County Attorney Scott Tues
day afternoon to see the prisoner,
W-inslow was positive of the ident-
tication Mrs. Winslow was not so
sure.
Winslow, according to Chief Breckel
and County Attorney Scott, who were
present, identified Whites face and
hair and his general appearance.
County Attorney Scott said Winslow
had made the statement that he was
positive White was the gunman.
May Arraign Prisoner Today.
Altho Mrs. Winslow was not so sure,
she was quite certain that Whites
voice was like that of the man with
whom she struggled in the grocery
store. She did not, it is explained,
have as good a view OF the holdup's
face, which was masked until VIM
slow tore off the handkerchief cover
ing the gunman's face as the latter
was breaking away and struggling out
of the door of the store. The police
say that other evidence they have
against White, together with the
identification furnished by the Wins
slows, tend to show that White is the
man.
No effort has been made to secure
of the prisoner by Joe j.
Clemens, the motorman whose car was
held up the second night after the
Winslow assault. County Attorney
Scott thought White might be ar
raigned for preliminary examination
in the mayors court this afternoon.

FLINT IN FINE ADDRESS.
College President Tells Searchliqht
Members Of "Pay Up Proqram."

College President Tells Searehliaht
Members Of "Pay Up Program"
An opportunity to reflect on some of
the seemingly ordinary things in life
which when looked into are really SER
ious and complicated, was given mem
bers Of the Searchlight Club Tuesday
evening. when DR.. Charles w. Flint,
president Of Cornell College, gave one
OF the best talks of the season ON THE
Pay-Up Program"
DR.. Flint is a remarkably fluent and
rapid speaker. and presents his subject
in such clever way that he holds his
audience constantly. In his talk Tues
day evening he gave numerous illus
trations, told several stories, and cre-
ated a good impression generally.
1.-The Pay-Up Program" the subject
on which DIR. Flint spoke. was shown
by the speaker to mean the constant
indebtedness under which every one la
bors. DR.. Flint showed by an unusual
series OF iiiustTattiio:sss hew every per
son is interdependent on the rest Of the
world. He traced the numerous rami
f1cations into which single person
would go if he even SO much as at
tempted to figure out all the various
persons he depended upon in doing
such simple things as getting UP in the
morning and eating breakfast. 1--WE
can hardly fix an outer limit on the
number of people we become dependent
upon in our slightest action" said the
speaker. mo one can live unto him.
self, no one wants to be Robinson
Crusoe, but we do not realize our vital
interdependence until threatened
halt comes" DR.. Flint continued.
After bringing to the minds of his
audience the great truths of this de-
pendence in physical things, the speak
er took up the same subject on the in
tellectuai side. Here he found the en-
tire human race dependent upon the
generations before for all they knew.
'If we did not receive great truths
from our forefathers, and hand them
down in turn. every generation would
have to start in the original state, or
rather the aboriginal state" stated the
speaker. The same is true in social
conditions, every one is indebted to
every one else.
The fact Of the matter is, according
to DR.. Flint. that every one is hope
lessly bankrupt, as all owe to previous
generations debts which can never be
repaid. In fact, 80 Of everything a hui
man possesses is unpaid for. The
'.pay-up program part comes. said DR..
Flint. in being able to transfer with
interest some of our benefits to the
next generation. and to those around
us at the present time. Every one is
well equipped now, this is a well
equipped age. and II is up to us to pay
up our infinite Indebtedness to the ones
who need it NOSE. Render service"
was the keynote Of the address. and
not only render it, but do it better for
the next man than it has been done
for you. DR.. Flint told in well chosen
phrases how we were socially. politi-
lcally. and religiously indebted to the
lworld. and closed with a strong state

consumption of water in recent years,
but only slight increase in the number
Of wells. Elery is authority for the
statement that whereas formerly forty
wells were delivering from 100000 to
l, 100000 gallons per day, the city IN
the last year or two has been expect
ing to get from 100000 to 1,SO0,0O0
gallons from only fifty wells
The low stage ,of the water in the
ground inst now is a quite common
condition in this part of the state. IL
is presumably caused by winter OF

is said.

Al the Casino.

Wilfred Lucas. known to moving
pictures since their earliest days. is
starred in The Microscope Mystery"
new kind Of detective story filmed at
the Casino Tuesday. Lucas takes the
part of a man who gives all his time
to the study Of bugs, and who in con-
sequence is looked upon as a bit queer.
But when murder mystery needs
solving he comes to the front in fine
shape, and with the aid Of his micro
scope aids in bringing the criminal to
justice. Aside from the unusualness of
the story one is always sure of seeing
good acting by Mr.. Lucas who has
portrayed all sorts Of characters on tn.
screen.
The supporting cast is headed by
Constance Talmadge, and is wei,
chosen. For picture out Of the ordi-
nary, with good acting and a clever
story, this production fills the bill.

r. ELERY, IN CHARGE OF
WELLS, WARNS NEWSPAPER
OF DANGER.
MCFARLAND SAYS THE
SUPPLY Is ADEQUATE
EIery Points to Low Stage Of Water
in Field as Dangerous Condition
Mcfarland Premises That More
Wells Will Be Sunk, But Not All
Material Is Here.

Is the city confronted with the pos
sibility of another water famine anc
the necessity of again turning into thu
mains river water? L. r. Elery, city
water supply foreman in charge of the
city wells, believes there is. Council
man Mcfarland, superintendent Of the
department, believes the supply is ad-
equate. He promises more wells vii
be sunk but material for this work has
not all been purchased yet. The coun.
Gilman says the cast iron pipe needed
can be procured quickly.
I'VE either must have more wells OIL
there must be a thaw soon, else it may
be necessary TO turn in the river water
again. E,lery told the T.-R. today. -
believe the public ought to know the
situation
Points to Low Water.
Councilman Mcfarland sees no i'm
mediate danger in the situation:
In spite of a pumpage OF about l.
10000 gallons yesterday, the reser-
voir. which was full, was lowered only
about a foot during the night. The
supply of water is larger than It was
a month ago" Mcfarland said, how
ever, that twenty or more wells are to
be sunk as soon as the material is here
TO do the work. He said ali the ma
terial needed was on hand except 1000
or more feet Of sixteen Inch cast iron
pipe for an extension of the suction
line TO wells TO DE SUM III the Ne!SGG
land. This pipe he said, was to be or
dered at once and would have been or
dered before, but specifications Cor the
lengths NEEDED were not supplied by Ell
cry until Tuesday.
Elerys reason for belief that wa
ter famine may recur Is because Of
a test he has made showing the water
level in the field TO be low.
Six Feet of Water at Well.
According to Elery a test made by
him at ten-inch we'll Tuesday showed
only six feet and five inches of water.
which was not enough to cover the
strainer. This test was made when
the water was being pumped out OF
this well. The level at the smaller
wells. however, when these wells are
not being used, is nineteen or more
feet, and when being used is around
nine feet. The latter statemet is made
on the authority OF Councilman Nc
Farland
Certain conditions Of supply and de-
mand and regarding water levels in
the field. as explained by EleTy, are
admitted by the superintendent # the
department Among these are that the
present level of the water in the fields
IL about seven or eight feet lower than
it was three years ago. Wells sunk
this winter were put down eight feet
deeper than ever before, but the water
level in them Is no higher than il used
to be. A lower water level increases
the distance the water must be lifted
by the water works pumps and makes
the supply more difficult TO deliver in
to the pumping station.
Increased Consumption.
There has been a huge increase in

picture fans in THE Golden Fetter,
shown at the Strand Tuesday evening.
Wallace Reid. one Of the hanAsoEness
heroes in the business is supported by
Anita King, who has come to the front
quite rapidly in recent times, and does
some very good work in this picture.
Mr.. Reid is chiefly valuable for the
fact that he can act, and Is not overly
conscious Of his good looks.
AS for the story, it deals with j
young civil engineer, played by Mr..
Reid, and school teacher, portrayed
by Miss King. Thru series of strange
circumstances they find themselves in
western mining town, in the hands Of
crooks. and thru more circumstances
they get out of their difficulties, with
considerable action and some good
humorous scenes.
An excellent cast handles the story.
Tully Marshall makes a fine crook, and
Mrs. Lewis McCord is one Of the best
character women in the movies" The
picture is a pleasing one all around.

Of Mile Gardini, a French prin1a donna
who has the voice, physique. and capa-
bilities Of acting that combine to make
the ideal prima donna.
The story Of 1.-THE Troubadour" is
we'll known, and the fact that Mile.
Gardini sang her role in italian did not
detract from the presentation. Mr.
Sheehan appeared in the tenor role>of
Maprico, Mile. Gardini as Leonora,
Elaine De Sellem as Azucena, the con-
tralto role; Arthur Deane, BARITONE, as
Count di Luna, and Robert Evans,
basso. as Fernando.
Mile. Gardini has voice Of beau
tiful quality and unusual volume. Her
tones are perfect her range is wide.
and she won her audience from her
opening number, "How Calm, How
Placid" to the "Miserere" and her
closing song sung between the acted
paroxysms Of death.
Altho suffering from severe cold
Mr.. Sheehan gave his usual good In
depreciation of the leading male role
and sang pleasinsly the different num-
bers of Manrico. His duet with Mile.
Gardini in the "Miserere," and that
with Miss De Sellem, Home to Our
Mountains" were the gems of the eve
ming.
Miss De Sellem who has been seen as
Azucena at different times, essayed the
unprepossessing role of the Gypsy bag
with much feeling. Her "F'iercely the
Flames Burn" gave her ample oppor-
tunity to display the rich quality of
her voice. Mr.. Deane was in fine
voice. and gave very finished por-
travail of the count. Brighter Than
the Stars of Heaven was one of his
best numbers The opening solo.
There Stood Gypsy Hag," was well
sung by Mr.. Evans. Miss F1orentine
st. Clair sang sweetly the minor role
Of lnez. The chorus was good, and
very we'll balanced
AS is the case too often when some
really worthwhile production appears,
the audience was disappointingly
small. The members of the company
did not let the empty seats detract
from their performance. however and
the enthusiasm with which the hand
full of people greeted the efforts COM
pensated in every way excepting from
boxoffice standpoint.
