The Theatres
"THE BAIT


At the Murray theatre on Thursday
and Friday of this week. Wagenhals
and Kemper will present, for the first
time in this city, their sensational
dramatic success, THE Bat" by Mary
Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood.
Theatre-goers have awaited impatient
ly the coming of this play for more
than a year.
With more than a years run to its
credit in New York and a record of a
solid year in Chicago by another com
pany in the same attraction, "The
Bat" stands out clearly as the one
great big success of all years. More
over, every bit of success that has
been its share, belongs to it rightfully.
The Bat" is dramatic thriller
some critics have referred to it as a
dramatic smash" The appelation is
q good one. 1t is exactly that Not
only is it thrilling to the point OF
keeping its audiences on the edge of
their chairs from beginning to end
but 1t is, moreover, actually one of
the funniest plays staged in years.
Humorous Situations.
The humor of The Bat is more of
situations than of mere funny lines.
In the development of the story, the
authors, than whom there are none
more expert in doing just that sort of
thing, have managed to contrive situa-
ton after situation that leaves the au-
dience fairly breahless from laughter
Were this 10 occur in the ordinary
play it would not be so remarkable
but in play of the thrilling nature of
THE Bat it is remarkable in the eX-
IRENE.
The Bat is presented by Wagon
halls and Kemper, known throughout
the country for their success as pro-
ducers of hits "The Bat has been
staged with all the uncanny skill o.
the management and is acted by a
company of unusual excellence includ-
ing: Kate Blancke, Helen Carew, Ce-
cile Cummings, j. C.. Berth, Joseph
Rawley. Richard Mansfield, Courtney
White, Wyrley Birch, Roy LaRue and
Sam Kuster.

BLASTS KILL UNBORN CHICKS
Woman in Allamakee County viii
Sue for Damages.

Allamakee county and the Iowa
state highway commission are fac
ing damage suit that is unique. a
lady living on farm near Waukon
raises chickens and last spring had a
number of old biddies sitting when
along came a road construction crew
who did some blasting in the road
adjacent to her farm. The CON
cussion from the dynamite blasts,
according to the her claim, killed the
chickens which were nearly due to
hatch and she took them dead from
the shell. She filed no damage claim
at that time, but waited until last
week when she filed with the Ala
makee county board of supervisors a
claim, not for pay for the eggs, or
even for the chicks which might have
Matched, but for the chickens which
might have Matched and might have
lived to marketing age, had it not
have been for the fatal blasts. Her
itemized bill, covering six pages, to-
gether with a prelude Of two pages
and foot note, sets forth that at
the time of the blast she had 100
eggs nearing the time for Matching.
Of these she alleges 101 would have
Matched had it not been for the dyn-
mite. These chickens at market time
this fall should have attained the
weight Of four and .one-half pounds
each, or a total of 45112 pounds,
which at the market price of II
cents per pound, would have brought
$77.261a, which amount she seeks to
recover from Al!amakee county. A
note at the bottom revealed that if
obliged 10 pay this sum she would
be willing to accept a warrant for
$50 in full settlement.
The board of supervisors decided
to refer the bill to the state highway
commission, since the said blasting
was done on a primary. road pro-
ject. The commissioners will doubt
less be urged to make prompt settle
ment of the claim lest by necessary
delays the case may be carried into
next year and another crop of chick
ems, eggs and feathers may then be
added.

minent Fayette county farmer, coup
led with the alleged intimacy be-
tween Mrs. Ashbaugh and Arthur

Booze Auto Spilled the Beans

Traer, Iowa-Summoned to a
spot two miles east of Tama on the
Lincoln highway to administer first
aid to a motorist who was rendered
unconscious when his car went into
the ditch, DIR. Benjamin Thompson
of Tama found the wrecked auto
contained twenty-five gallons of
alcohol in vessels.
The alcohol and the injured man,
e. S. Bowler, of Fort Dodge are
now in the custody of the sheriff
in the Tama county Jail at Toledo.
A broken rod, connected with the
front axle and controlling the steer
ing apparatus, was the cause of the
auto wreck. Bouvier's collar bone
and several ribs were fractured and
he suffered numerous cuts and bruis-
es. Although the authorities found
but twenty-five gallons of alcohol,
Bowler says he had forty-fve gall
Ions and someone must have relieved
him of nearly half of his supply
while he lay unconscious.
According to word received by
County Attorney w. F. Russell,
Bowler was fined $500 at Fort
Dodge in September FOR maintaining
a liquor nuisance.

Hot Water Sold for s. a Gallon

Waterloo merchants were visited
by couple of falirs last week who
demonstrated metal polish Of a bona
fde nature and took orders for the
delivery of more Of it. The polish
was delivered in tins, in gallon and
half gallon lots, and it was hot.
"This," explained the travelling mer-
chants, twas due to the fact that il
had just been made and it would be
necessary to let it cool before it was
used" After the stuff had cooled
buyers peeked inquisitively into their
investments and beheld good, old
aqua pura, the kind that runs out
of a city faucet for the trouble OF
turning it. No trace has been found
of the transient merchants and it is
presumed that the dollars taken out
of Waterloo are still trapising along
right merrily.

to better slush the well, and in the
hurry to get done, forgot the high
tension wire passing over the pre-
misses, and in pulling up the auger
got too near to the 1920 volt wires

White Robin Excites Bird Lovers

Mason City: Mrs. James E. Blythe
is authority for the story Of the
white robin which has been visiting
Mason City this month. The bird,
which is beautiful white with
touches of red on the front of its
breast, was first seen by little Cath
crime Farrell, daughter of DIR. and
Mrs. v. A. Farrell. Scoffers had al
most convinced Catherine that the
robin she saw was pigeon, when
Mr.. and Mrs. James E. Blythe saw
the snowy bird feeding with a flock
of robins on their beautiful lawns
in Rock Glen.
With bird glasses the Blythes were
able to determine for certain that the
bird was white robin, one of the
few of its kind in existence. The
white robin is called an albino, be-
cause of its coloring.

The result was that the feline's feelings were enraged and she at once commenced to show her disposition. No amount of coaxing or cajoling on the part of the driver of the machine would allow him to get near enough to kitty to extricate him from the entanglement, kitty showing more of a desire to scratch than to be fondled. However, man soon appeared on the scene with a burlap bag, with which he obscured kitty from view while he backed up the machine sufficiently to release the cat. and the tale was end e6.

WEARING OF THE GREEN
 POPULAR LAST SATURDAY

Very few Putnam people, or visit ors to Putnam, Saturday morning or afternoon, escaped the vigilance of the army of tag sellers. A man with out a little green tag showing that he had contributed to the cause of the Irish sufferers looked lonesome in- deed and had to pass a pretty girl with a tag and box to receive a coin on every corner. Few got by the whole line of aggression without surrender ing.
