WHITE SCOBEY DUCK CAUSES
ATTENTION IN STREETS HERE

Perched high up on a high tensioA
electric wire In Smith street across

Scobey duck attracted considerable
attention. The duck few onto the

of the street In that section for about
ten minutes. People passing along
the street stopped and looked with
amazement at the bird that was able
to retain its balance on the wire in

The duck was nearly as large as

crane it's neck to gaze at the persons
In the street and let out a squawk as
if to say, whats SO wonderful about
me; I'm only q duck" After sitting
quietly on the wire for a while the
bird gave a couple of wiggles, lifted
it's wings and gracefully flew to the
roof of a nearby building. Then

At the Spencer.

Published originally as a novel
in Munsey's magazine, written by
Frank L. Packard an later DANA
tiled by George VI. Conan and pre-
scented with phenomenal success
on Broadway, the Paramount-Art-
craft picture, 1.-The Miracle Man, -
coming to the Spencer Square
soon. As a motion picture this
absorbing story has been hailed by
the critics as one of the finest pro-
auctions ever seen on the screen.
With scenes laid in the haunts of
criminals in New York's China
town, in a little village on the side
of a giant mountain and on the
shore of a roaring ocean, the OPP
portunity for wonderful photo
graphic effects has been realized to
the limit.
But the chief interest is in the
striking story, which centers about
the venerable figure of an old pat
riarch, who is credited with the
power to heal the sick and make
crippled limbs whole again. To
him come Tom Burke and his band
of crooks from New York's China
town with the idea of cashing in
on his prOwess. But it doesn't work
out as they calculated, for hidden
away in each of them is a leaven
of good, which slowly comes to the
surface under the influence of
their wholesome environment. In
a most marvellous way the GRIMM
ais are reclaimed from the paths
of crime.
A cast of unusual ability enacts
the important roles in the pictures,
headed by Thomas Meighan, well
known leading man, and including
Elmer Fair, Betty Compson, JOS
eph J. Bowling, Lon CLANCY, w.
Lawson Butt, J. NJ. Dumont, Lu-
ellie Hutton and F. a. Turner.

That Danger of Strike Renew

There will be no new outbreak

reports of yesterday. Furthermore,
both parties to the recent contro-
versy have expressed themselves
as fully satisfied with the settle

Mayor Schriver stated positively
today that he is assured by the

sentatives of the linemen and OPP

manned yesterday were settled. 1t
would seem that the strike is in no
danger of being renewed.
Meetings at an End.
The city executive further said
that there are no more conferences
