ACTOR PLAYS SAME
!. PART AS IN FRANCE
(From the Salt Lake Tribune)

(From the Salt Lake Tribune)
To have played a part in real life
similar to the one he now plays on
the stage is the experience of Richard
L. Tucker, who. with Zeffie Tilbury
constitutes the cast of Under Orders
at the Nixon tonight. In the play,
Mr. Tucker appears in one role as
Arthur Ford, captain in the American
army, who later is found in Germany.
In real life Mr.. Tucker was a captain
of infantry during the war. and also
served with the army of occupation
in Germany
In an interview he related that he
graduated from the first Plattsburg
officers training school as a first
lieutenant, was sent overseas as a
casual officer and was then assigned
to the Third division in France, TAX
ing part in all the engagements of
that division.
Mr.. Tucker, while away, was chosen
to play the leading role in Under
Orders" with the original company.
but as casualty list had listed him
as dead, his part was given to an
other. Recently he returned to
America, after having served over
seas for two years and one month.
His sudden return surprised his New
York friends, since they though. h,m
dead He was Immediately given the
leading role in Under Orders" and is
now on a nationwide tour. His actu-
al experience well fits him for rhe
play in which he lives over again a
part he played in earnest.
In the play Under Orders" Mr..
Tucker wears the captains uniform
he used in the field, bearing the IL
sigma of the Third division in which
he served. He says when he was
given the part he could not help but
keep that little sign of sentiment
tality with him. The three white
stripes placed diagonally upon a
square are symbolical of the three
major operations in which the Third
division participated, namely the
Marne, ST. Mihiel and the Argonne-
Meuse. The blue field is a symbol
for those who fell in action.

day took the second game of the
worlds baseball classic from the Chi

Local fans, when Cinncy won the
first game Wednesday. made the as
sertion that playing on their own
grounds and with the home folk be-
hind them they figured to cop the in
itial game. but once the Sox got ac-
quainted with Redland Park there

Reds scored their runs as follows
three in the fourth inning and one in
the sixth frame, while the Sox made
their two scores in the fourth.

the dumps this afternoon and fail to
see where their muchly vaunted
dope could have gone wrong. AT

Moran clan to win the opening game
are wearing the smiles that won't

S8 AND S5,
VISITORS AT INLAY
Especial Correspondence)

INLAY, Nevada, October Fri
day evening Mrs. G. H. Copley
gave an informal party at her home
as a farewell to her grand parents
Mr. and Mrs. John L. Isherwood.
Those present to participate in the
game of Five Hundred we're: Mr.
and Mrs. Andy Springer, Mr.. and Mrs
Carl Lehnert, Mr.. and Mrs. Leon
Kaiser, DR.. and Mrs. j. Il. Beale, Mr.
and Mrs. ]. l.. sherwood, Mr. and Mrs
g. II. Copley. Mrs. f. ]. Thacker, Mrs
j. II. Harre, Mrs. ID. l.. Joyce, Miss
Mabel Diffendarfer. Mr.. and Mrs
Leon Kaiser won the lady's and
gentleman's prizes. Light refresh
ments were served by the hostess, af-
ter which the guests gathered around
the aged couple with expressions of
regret at their leaving.
John L. Isherwood and wife have
the distinction of being the Oldest
couple ever in Inlay or in several of
the places they have resided. He was
born in Crawford county, Pennsyl-
vania, in 1881. At an early age he
began farming. When twenty-seven
he moved to Butler, Indiana, and en-
tered the trading business. Through
the Civil War he met with many re-
verses. He followed the merchan-
dising business for years, when he
finally came out to Colorado and took
up thirty-two acres of land. Spent
six years there when he moved to
Evanston, Wyoming, and sold goods
for house in Pennsylvania. Having
a restless spirit he took his family
of wife and seven children to Twin
Falls. Idaho, when that city was just
starting. While residing there he lost
five of the children and the wife he
married in Pennsylvania. He later
went to Austin. Texas, to visit his
sister-in-law, who had married his
brother years before in Pennsylvania.
She had lost her husband and all of
her relatives. excepting a son and
grand daughter They decided to
spend their remaining years together,
so at the ages of seventy-seven and
seventy-four they were married, and
took trip back to the old home,
still known as sherwood Corners.
in Pennsylvania. Their eleven years
of married life have been spent in
much travel and their sprightlyness
has excited a great deal of comment.
More than once Mr. sherwood has
answered the question, How do you
account for your long life?" He says
he has lived no differently than other
people. only that he belonged to a
long-lived family and has not wor-
ried. Mrs. sherwood at the age of
eighty-five makes her own clothes
and keeps busy with household du-
ties and fancy work After eleven
months in Inlay they boarded num-
Der twenty Sunday morning for
Evanston, Wyoming, to visit his son.
