Riders Of Vengeance" the Harry
Carey photodrama which opens at
the Colonial theater tonight, will carry
the spectator back to the days Of the
unfenced west when gun-play was an
art and the course of true love ran like
the Niagara. The production is uni
versally good and the star is at his
best.
His father, mother, brothers and
bride were shot from ambush as
they came out Of the church after the
wedding ceremony. He swore to be
revenged for their deaths and went
into the desert to plan.
After two years the massacre of
Cheyenne Harry Carston's family was
well nigh forgotten. Then there ap-
peared a scrawled note nailed to a
post in the center of Mesquite. 1t
contained the list of Cheyenne's enc
mics and his intention to kill them.
He began at the head Of the list. Gale
Thurman, sheriff, was last.
Then came the girl, travelling to
marry the sheriff. Fate put her in
Cheyenne's grasp.
You will be heavy loser if you
miss 1t. Harry Carey is the star.

ROUTE l CITIZEN is DEADLY
SHOT TO COTTON TAILS"

Mr.. Jno. A. Johnson Of Route 1
now claims the record for a single shot
and holds the championship until
better records are shown. Late one
afternoon recently, Mr.. Johnson, see
ing rabbit in the shubbery just out
side of his front yard, seized his shot
gun quickly and fired a single shot.
Upon investigating he found dead rab-
bits galore-nine in all, of which
three were full grown and six small
cotton tails"
A few shots like this will soon thin
the rabbits to a stand in this vicin-
ity and relieve the menace to truck
crops, damage to which has been very
heavy this season.
Bully for Mr.. Johnson!
