CRACK OF PISTOLS
No Band at Dance, Re-
volver Fire Breaks
Up Party

"Auntie" Susan Blackston's party, at
her home at Bucks Bridge 'on last Fri
day evening, came TO a sudden and al
together unexpected termination when
pistols were drawn by many Of the
Negroes and firing commenced. The
trouble occurred over the failure Of the
brass band engaged for the party to
appear.
As a result Of the trouble, Wallace
Thomas was shot through the left arm,
the bullet piercing his arm and enter
ing his side. Thomas Gould was arrest
ed last night by State Detective Mccoy
and Constable Wilmington on a charge
Of shooting Wallace.
The party, It seems, had been widely
siyertised. It was announced that a
piano and a brass band would be pres
ent. One hundred Negroes from the
neighbothood paid their 80 cents ad-
mission TO the party and the dancing
was started with only the piano fur
nishing music. Time went by and the
band did not appear. At. midnight, the
disappointed Negroes became angered
because Of this, and an argument, in
which all took part ensued fervently,
and finally pistols started TO bark.
Early in the fray Thomas was shot,
and beat a hasty retreat to his home.
about one mile away, leaving his wife
ami the carriage. which they rode into
the party, behind. For a half hour,
the shooting continued. and then a
search was commenced for Thomas,
and after securing the neighborhood
for sometime. his wife returned home,
and there found Wallace in pain from
his wound.
When Detective Mccoy was talking
with Wallace. the injured Negro re-

Famous Beauty in a Truly
Remarkable Romance,
Rose of the World

Elsie Ferguson was proclaimed the
screen find Of 1917. when she made
her debut in ''Barbary Sheep" and in
Rose Of the World she outdoes her
former efforts. The famous beauty Of
the stage has a vehicle in the picturi-
cation Of Agnes and Edgerton Castles
story that gives her opportunities for
the display Of her wonderful emo
tional acting and her superb beauty.
Rose Of the World" is a truly re-
msrkable picture. It is a story of the
quick and the dead'-a tale Of the
rivalry between a dead and living hus-
band for their Wife's love, and the
dead wins. It is a weird story Of
Hindu superstition that comes true
through the wife's undyinG love and
faith in her first husband. 1t is a
wonder play, and you will like it
Rose of the World" will be shown
for the last time today at the Wig
wan. It is well worth a trip down
town to see, even If the weather is
cold and unpleasant. Come to the
