"The Family Honor. -

Robert Warwick and June Elvidge,
two of the screens most popular and
gifted stars, are featured in the latest
Brady-Made World picture, "The
Family Honor" which viii be the at
traction at the Grand Theatre next
Thursday, the 18th inst. Interest in
the story begins with the first scene,
and not for a moment during the five
reels does the action slacken in the
slightest degree. The play tells how
young man falls into the clutches Of
a vampire. He is going to the dogs on
her account, drinking heavily and re-
sorting to great lengths to get money
to lavish on her, when his older broth
er appears on the scene. The latter
takes things into his own hands
looks into the vampires reputation
and decides he must adopt desperate
measures to save his brother. So he
makes love to the vampire and as
sumes the blame when the young man
steals from his father to get more
money for the woman. But, finally, a
strange thing occurs: the elder broth
er falls in love with the vampire and
she demonstrates that she is really
possessed of human heart after all.
Everything ends happily for the elder
brother and all concerned.

ADMITS THEFT OF MAIL BAGS.
Complete Confession from "Sadum"
Johnson Obtained by Sheriff.

''Sadum" Johnson, the young ne
gro ex-convict who was arrested here
last week on suspicion of being i'm
plicated in the theft of mail bags
from the local T. & P. depot, and
who admitted to Sheriff Hanson that
he was guilty Of the robbery com
mitted the night of October IL last,
has made further confession in
which he admits having perpetrated
the robbery of February s also. Post
Office Inspector Purdum, with head
quarters in New Orleans, was here
last week, and after hearing John
sons statements and learning of the
corroborative evidence secured by
Sheriff Hanson, ne expressed gratif-
cation anent the manner in which the
case had been handled and warmly
commended Sheriff Hanson for his
excellent work.
Mary Stewart, the negro woman
through whose testimony Johnson s
connection with the thefts was traced
has been released from jail. 1t ap-
pears that in order to secure con-
viction on the charge of receiving
stolen goods under the federal law, it
is necessary to prove knowledge on
the part of the accused that the goods
had been stolen from the United
States mails, and as it was practical
ly impossible to establish this fact in
the case of the Stewart woman, she
was discharged from custody by the
local authorities, with the consent of
Inspector Purdum.
johnson will be tried before the
United States district court, and if
convicted will be sentenced to term
of Imprisonment in a federal peni-
tertiary.
