THRILLING PHOTOPLAY AT STRAND THEATRE
Elaine Hammerstein Stars in "Her Man." Feature With Strong and
 Unusual Theme

Come in and get him, damn you!'
 The girl was kneeling at the door of the little mountain cabin; in one hand she held a rifle, the other she shook with fist clinched at the feudists who sought to enter and take the life of the man she loved. She. was dressed in the evening costume of the society folk among whom she had been born and with whom her whole life had been spent up to now. She had sought by educa- ton to restrain the mountaineers from their bloody feuds. Now the man who was a feud leader and to whom she had unwillingly given her heart was threat ened with death by his enemies. Her life training of gentleness and peace feU from her. She was a lioness defending her cub; she aimed and fired rapidly and as her assailants fell one by one she called her defiance like a true mountain woman.
 Thrilling? Most decidedly. They say that when they took this scene in filming Her Man." the attraction at the Strand today, Friday and Saturday, Elaine Hammerstein, the star, had the tears streaming down her face.
 Dads Knockout is a polite Billy Parsons comedy, and the Pathe War News adds a patriotic flavor to the pro- gramme.

nue. According to Frank he was drafted and sent to Camp Dodge, Ia, with a number of negroes from the local boards. He was in the service for four months and was discharged in April on account of being afflicted with stammering.
 While in the service he made out an allotment for his wife and after he came home she received a check which Frank returned as he did not believe she was entitled to it. The check came back again today and the man having the check and not know ing what to do with it brought it TO MT. Murray. He stated he certainly did need the money, as his wife was sick, but he didn't want to get in trouble about it.
 The check was dated April 1, and was the March allotment, which was due the wife, so MT. Murray told the negro to get the check indorsed and he would go with him to get it cashed. The negro works at the city ice plant.

 Mine by Cloud-Burst

All efforts to find the two men re- ported missing after the accident at the Mary Lee mine of the Alabama com pany yesterday proved futile, Pumps were kept busy all day trying to clear the mine of the great volume of wa ter that rushed in immediately follow ing the cloud-burst Tuesday afternoon. but officials of the company stated yes terday that it would be week or 10 days before it is cleared.
