Three of the most remark able deatA-defying stunts ever tried before the camera will be done by Tom Mix, the screens daredevil, in his latest William Fox production, "The Terror which is col1ing to the Royal Theatre, Thursday, Aug. 26.
 Because he was required to risk lis life in the performance of the stunts Mix determined to get himself into first class physical condition by training every day for two weeks pre- vious to the beginning of work on the picture.
 In his first stunt Mix falls down upon a wagon pole be- tween two rear horses of a four-horse coach during a run away. He was forced to hang beneath the pole-his body just a few inches above the roadway-as the horses dashed madly on. There was no driv- CT while the scene was being taken, and the fact that in- stant death would have been the result had the horses dash ed off the roadway makes the feat all the more remarkable.
 After this scene Mix swung about to the top side of the pole, climbing to the back of one of the horses, grabbed with

DEAD SOLDIER IS
 RETURNED HOME
Remains of Newark Boy Who Died Overseas Among First
 to be Brought Back

The remains of Charles Me- Kinney, who died while in the service of Uncle Sam overseas, and the first Independence county dead soldier to be re- turned, reached here yester- day. Young Mckinney was a son of. MT. and Mrs. w. M. Mckinney who reside in the north part of town.
 Young Mckinney was in a contingent of men that left In- dependence county, Sept. 4, 1918, and at the time of his death was 21 years old. In the death of this splendid young soldier there lies great trag- edy in the fact that he arrived
 in France just five days before the armistice was signed, and was stricken with appendicitis shortly after landing, being able at no time before his death to even write to his friends or family. Death oc- cured on November 22, 1918.
 The body arrived at Camp
 Pike Wednesday night and af-
 ter the usual military given those who lost their life in the
 service of their country, the
 body was shipped to Newark and arrived here on the local Thursday afternoon, accom- panied by Sergt. Higgins.
 The body will be gives mill itary burial at Blue Springs Sunday afternoon at 3:30. The funeral will be conducted by the American Legion.

Five hundred people were in the scene, and at the time the stunt was done by Mix a regular jazz orchestra was playing popular airs.
