news Of the fight with the Bass party
at Round Rock reached this place;
and in a short time Deputy Sheriff
Tucker and Constable Lane mounted
their horses and started for Round
Rock, arriving at that place soon az
ter dark. They at once sought out
Major Jones, informed him who they
were, and Of their desire to aid in
the capture Of Bass and his compan-
ions, and Of their familiarity of the
country. After consultation as TO
the best course to pursue, Tucker
with one ranger, was sent by Major
Jones to the Cluck Spring some three
miles above Round Rock where he
found Lieut.. Runnels encamped with
a squad of eight or ten rangers Lane

one or two o'clock and then sent out
with the detective Murphy TO the
same place where all remained until

After getting breakfast the ran
gers under Sergeant Nevis saddled
up and made ready for the pursuit,
Lieut.. Runnels being unwell and go

him 20 lead the rangers under Sergt.

likely they would find Bass and his
companions or get on their trail. Con-
stable Lane with a portion Of the
squad went down to Bass camp
which was but short distance from

remainder of the squad struck the
Georgetown railroad about the place
where Bass and Jackson struck the
timber the evening before. Mr..

Ideal Health Certificate.

A very comprehensive form OF

in Germany, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. If adopted, it would form
q record of the health Of each indi-
vidual at any stage Of life, and at
death would furnish a complete his
tory Of that individuals whole phys
zeal life. This record would constitute
single health certificate. in which
would be combined the certificate or
BIRTH, of vaccination, the health re-
ports of school medical examiners,
and in later life the reports OF health
insurance societies, in which all Ger
mans in industrial life are registered.
The result would he of value, during
the life Of the individual, in furnish

OF DESTINY"
AT THE REX SUNDAY

When many stars and directors are
bewaiEing the dearth of good stories
for screen production, Anita Stewart
has come along with "Playthings of
Destiny" the First National attrac-
tion announced for exhibition at the
Rex theater for two days, beginning
Sunday, which from the synopsis,
looks to be the strongest picture in
which she has ever appeared. 1t is
based upon a, perfectly logical plot,
which results in a loveable, sensitive
woman. becoming bigamist.
The ''developmen Of the story is
extremely dramatic and the variety
of loxate---from the north woods of
Canada to the tropics of jamaica
should make it an extremely lavish
production scenically. The wholly
unexpected climax brings a highly
interesting story to fine ending.
Two stornls---One a blizzard Of the
far north and the other a tropical
tornado---serve as the scenic back
ground for two cf the emotional
high points in "Plaything5 of Des-
tiny" Quite appropriately the biz
zard serves to separate the woman
and the man she adores, while the
tornado serves to bring assurance to
her that he has always loved her.
In the staging Of the storms Direct
or Edwin Carewe accomplished a
realism that has caused favorable
comment even from others in the
same line who have striven for the
same effects without the success
which Mr.. Carewe has obtained.
