DOCTOR HORSE IS
STOLEN AND RIDDEN
INTO THE COUNTRY

A couple of days ago DR.. J. Whiting
Hargis complained that his black
horse had been taken without his au-
thority, and he asked that the police
locate the animal. The county au-
thorities we're yesterday able to tell
the doctor that the property had been
found. A man named Fred Stewart
is said to have ridden the horse to
McDavid, and at that point Deputy
Allen Brewton stopped and arrested
him. Deputy Lester Van Pelt went
to that point yesterday and returned
with Stewart, who was locked up at
the county jail on a charge of steal
ing a horse. He offered no bond
Reports received here stated that
the animal had been ridden so hard
that the beast could not be brought
back to the city for the present, as its
condition would not permit its re
moval. 1t will be several days before
attempting to restore the stolen prop
ty to it's owner in Pensacola.

It's Jail No1U, IF Your
Co1Os Get Loose In City

Infractions of the city stock law
in the future will be followed by fine
and Imprisonment, according to an
nouncement at the mayors office
yesterday afternoon. The announce
ment followed a consultation which
the mayor and commissioners had
with Recorder Semmes, and in future
those guilty of violating section 139
of the 1908 city code will not be al
lowed to pay only pound fees and get
off with it. This has been the custom
followed in the past, but will be dis
continued.
This decision has been arrived at,
it was explained, on account of SER
ious damage wrought in flower and
vegetable gardens at night and in the
daytime by rowing herds of cattle.

Complaints have been filed with larm-
ing frequency by sufferers, until it
was decided to adopt other means to
guarantee protection for those citi-
zens who are endeavoring to beautify
premises by growing gardens.
1t is against the law to permit
stock to run at large anywhere in the
city limits. At least in that section
bounded by Coyle on the west and
22nd street on the north, and Eight
zenith avenue on the east. This takes
in practically the whole city.
1t is against the law to allow hogs
at any point in the city, or to keep
the porkers penned up at any point,
and for violation of either section it
means either fine or Imprisonment or
both, lat the discretion of the recor-
der"

Film Brings Recruits.

"Womanhood, the Glory of the Ma

paredness photoplay, continues on one
triumphant march across the country,
obtaining hundreds of recruits for the
army, navy and marine corps as it
goes, according to daily reports re-
ceived at the headquarters of v. l..
S. e.
The enthusiasm aroused at the
Ziegfeld Theatre, Chicago, has been
so great that the army recruiting Of
ficers have requested that the run be
continued. Recruiting officers sta
toned at the theatre from the Navy
Department and from the Illinois Ma
tional Guard report that the theatre
enlistments are of far higher calibre
than those received from any other
source.
On May 1 the First llndofs Infan-
try, accompanied by band of fifty
pieces, attended the theatre in a
body.
That which applies to Chicago ap-
plies to all of the large western cities.
In Kansas City the picture opened at
the New Center Theatre in a pouring
rain, breaking all attendance records
Notwithstanding the weather. Two
navy recruits signed the very first
night.
The Ashland theatregoers had the
opportunity of seeing this great pic
ture Wednesday and Thursday nights.
Manager Mrs. Bergner got this pic
ture among the first exhibitors in the
state, but nevertheless the number of
people who attended the picture on
the two nights Of its appearance
showed the unappreciation of the gen.
eral public for really masterful pic
lures.

SOME VOWS.

Once upon time bride
BY the name of Florence May
Could not. would not bend her pride
To pronounce the word "obey;"
Yet when married, as of old,
Did whatever she was told,
And another girl named Anne
Thought the word "obey" was sweet,
She could only love a man
Trampled underneath his feet,
Liked to do as she was bid,
So she said but never did.
Their two husbands, VIII and Dave,
Did not question, fuss or palter;
All their worldly goods they gave,
Freely, gladly at the altar.
Gladly for they never meant
To give up a single cent.

William Russell's divided interests
are causing him much CONSERVATION
these days. If it rains, picture-mak-
ing is suspended, therefore Mr. Rus
sell is worried. If it does not rain, a
lage bean crop on Mr.. Russell's ranch
near Fresno is in danger OF being lost,
and surely this is cause for Mr.. Rus
sell to worry again. And when it is
dark and cloudy, with neither rain
nor sun in prospect, the plot thickens
and he is worried both ways.
