AsSyrian Is Found
Dead AT Shakespeare
Two Arrests Have Been Made
But No Clue For Conviction
Found

AS thrilling as a story by Con-
ar Doyle and as deep in mystery
is the murder of William Abra-
hams, Asyrian merchant, found
dead with a bullet through his
heart Friday night at Shakes
peare neighborhood, which houses
the overflow residents of the
local mining camp. Residents
heard one shot fired, later Abra-
hahms was found dead near the
A. & N. NJ. railroad tracks.
Several persons have been ap-
pretended by peace officers but
no clue capable of conviction has
been found. District Attorney
j. S. Vaught has been here MAX
ing an investigation of this case
and others.
The murdered Assyrian was
aged about 40 years. He was

embroidered goods and conduct

throughout the southwest. A
large number of fellow country
men came down from Clifton,
Arizona, to take the body to the

There was much hostile feeling
displayed over the murder Of
Abrahams by his friends.
Two men are being held by
the authorities as witnesses in
the case but it is stated that
neither know facts of Importance

any individuals.

BIG FEATURE AT THE STAR

An announcement of uncommon in

readers alike is that one of the great.
est of the years output of extraordin-
ary attractions involving lavish film
production, Clune's multiple-reel pic.
torial translation of Harold Bell
Wright's famous story of love and
adventure, "The Eyes of the World"
has been booked for presentation here
at the Star Theater, Thursday night,
October 25th. &.
The production is described briefly
INSTALLATION in photOdrama on a
lavish scale-with which is co-ordin-
ated a musical score much the same as
in opera-of Wright's red-blooded
and romantic novel of California which
has enjoyed a sale of more than l.
100000 copies.
"The Eyes of the World" consumes
an entire evening in its showing. The
scenario was prepared by the noted
author himself and in performing this
work he considerably amplified his
tale, which now in visual form carries
the characters through two genera
tions.
The photodrama is said to be of bril-
liant character, forming a magnificent
background for the fascinating tale.
The outdoor scenes are said to form a
wonderful panorama of CALIFORNIA; s
charms of mountain and vale.
Besides amplifying the story. Har-
old Bell Wright actively assisted in
putting his scenes and characters be-
fore the camera. 1t is said that novel
innovations, both in the dramatic un
folding of the story and in the tech
nical for mof presentment, will stamp
"The Eyes of the World" as a mile
post in the development of cinema en-
tertainment.

Aid Tobacco Fund
For Xmas Smokes
Liberals Tobacco Fund For
Boys In Trenches Needs
Support

The Christmas idea has taken root
in the hearts of supporters of The
Liberals efforts to send tobacco to
the American fighting men in France.
Many contributors to the fund are
planning to contribute special sums
for the purchases of tobaccos to get
to the trenches at Christmas time.
Many of the American soldiers and
sailors will receive Christmas gifts in
the form of cards announcing thew
have been adopted" by some person
for the duration of the war
This adoption means assurance to
the adopted" one that he will receive
tobacco from this country so long as
he remains in the war zone. Thirteen
dollars will supply one of the fighters
with tobacco for a year.
One silver dollar-a sum which in
Vulnerable people think little of-will
make happy for month one of the
"Sammies." The "Sammies" are de-
pendent on the people of the United
States for their smokes"
It is time now to develop the
Christmas spirit so far as the "Our
Boys in France Tobacco Fund" is
concerned The Tobacco packages
must be purchased soon, and started
on their way to the front, that the
tremendous task of distribution ma
be attended to and all details cleared
away in time for the great day"
Christmas in the trenches of Amer
lean soldiers in France will have some
high lights added some of the holiday
cheer of home thrown in through the
efforts of the "Our Boys in France To
bacco Fund"
Two hundred and fifty thousand
packages of tobacco, each of which
will supply one of Americas fighting
men with Smokes" for a week or
more, will be sent across the seas and
put into the hands of the Liberty
boys through the agency of this
fund, for which The Liberal is receiv-
ing subscriptions.

New Postal Rates
Early In November
Three Cents On First Class
Letters. Two Cents on
Drop Mail

Full details of the Scent postage
plan inaugurated as war revenue
measure are contained in orders re-
ceived yesterday by Postmaster M. @.
Hardin Of the local office. On and aft
er November 2 a rate of cents for
every ounce and fraction thereof will
be charged on letters leaving the city.
All letters addressed to persons in the
city will be delivered at cents. The
postcard will be raised from to 2
cents.
The instructions received indicate
that it will be impossible for the gov
ernment to supply Scent envelopes or
the new &c postcards in sufficient time
to supply all demands for some time
to come, and these probably will not
be sold until the old supply of 2-cent
stock is exhausted.
Until such supplies are received it
will be necessary to affiX 1 cent
stamps to the 2-cent envelopes or a
l and 2-cent stamp to an ordinary
envelope and a 1-cent stamp to a
1-cent postal card to obtain delivery
after November 1.
"There is one point that l would like
The Liberal to make clear to the
public" said Mr.. Harlin, in discussing
the new orders, "and that is that all
letters mailed with insufficient post
age will be held up. If the return
card is given, the letter will be re-
turned to the sender for additional
postage. If this is not given, then
the addresses will be notified and
asked to send additional postage re-
quired.
