The bones were exhumed and with them were found pieces of the habilment of a nun of the Felician order. A war rant was issued for Mrs. Lypchiniski, who was housekeeper for Father An drew Bienowski, priest of the Isa- dore parish at the time of the sis ter's disappearance.
 Mrs. Lypchiniski was placed on trial October 1 and confession, which she was alleged to have made to woman detective was introduced by the prosecution. The confes- sion which gave jealousy of Sister John as the motive, was denied by the defendant.

 ]. w. Ferguson.

Among the most handsome of the floral offerings placed upon the cas- ket of J. w. Ferguson, Sweden plan ter, who died Friday afternoon, was a large star formed of white crysan- themums rendered by a number of the colored people-tenants and em- ployes of the late planter for years. These negroes were among those who paid their respects to the lamented planter at the services in the Holder ness chapel yesterday afternoon at o'clock. Special seats were reserv ed for them in the office adjoining the chapel. The services were con- Rev. H. B. Trimble, with the Elks lodge holding the ceremonies pre- scribed by the ritual of that order.
 MT. Ferguson's body will be talk en for burial to his former home at Sardis, Miss, leaving here on the east-bound Cotton Belt train this morning at 1:4O o'clock.

Western Play at princess

"a Sage Brush Hamlet" with Will
liam Desmond in the feature role is
shown at the Princes. 1t is another
Western offering with strong come
EIy relief, and 1t is said to have all the
other elements so acceptable to fans
who like mountain and desert scenery
hard riding cowboys and thoroughly
unscrupulous heavies. In "a Sage
Brush Hamlet" there is romance, Of
course, as well as the thunder and
plumber but it is interjeeted in a very
novel and catchy manner-in fact, the
hero, Desmond, not only fails to fall
in love with the girl, but tries des-
perately to lose her. How the girl IL
nally wins his love is one Of the most
interesting points Of the story.

College picture with George Walsh.
"The Winning Stroke" at the Mel
son today is decidedly interesting
from the point of newness and origi:.
Eality-and George Walsh is one OF
the few cinema stars equal to the role
he plays in it.
%fhe Winning Stroke" is a clllege
picture; it gives a faithful and true
portrayal of college life and is top
ped off with a reproduction OF the
famous Yale Harvard boat race on the
Thames river, at New London, Conn.
Walsh is the hero, Of course, and dur
Ing the story is the stroke oar on the
Yale crew. The stunts he pulls off
are typically Walsh stunts, many OF
which keep the audience at high
pitch Of excitement
The scenes are actually taken from
the Yale college campus and training
quarters through the enterprise Of the
Fox Film corporation who obtaicSs a
special permit from the Yale authori'
lies. 1t is said that such scenes never
before have been included in a pho
topiay which suggests it would be a
mighty entertaining and interesting
even without the wonderful ability Of
Mr.. Walsh.
