A DIFFICULT ROLE

Lon CLANCY, who plays the part OF
blizzard" king of the underworld in
Governor Morris new Goldwyn Pic
.ure, 'The Penalty" which comes to
the Kenworthy theatre, for two days
commencing Monday, has most
difficult role to perform Blizzard"
is supposed to be a man whose legs
have been cut off at the knees. To
do the part, CLANCY must go with the
lower part Of his legs strapped back
and must walk on his knees.
On account of stopping the circula-
ton, it is impossible for the actor to
hold the position for any great length
of time, so dummy is substituted
for him during rehearsal and CLANCY
only comes on while the scene is
being filmed. CLANCY won
much praise for his work as the hypo-
critical lame beggar in "The Miracle
Man"

The second attack was directed
against Judge Clarence w. Sessions,
who presided at the trial Not only
was the defense handicapped by the
courts ruling in the preliminary
proceedings, council for Newberry
averred, but throughout the trial
Judge Sessions acted in manner
prejudicial to it's interest. Specific
criticism was made of the selection
of jury after the talesmen had been
questioned regarding the case, the re-
fusal Of the prosecution to show list
of it's witnesses, and the refusal of
the court to permit evidence which,
the defense declared, would have con
clusively proven fair intent on the
part of Senator Newberry.
"The court so construed the sta
ute," the brief sad, "ast to make it a
violation for Mr.. Newberry to become
candidate if he knew that the CAM
paign would require more than $3.50
to be expended"

ANNOUNCED.

Madrid-tB y A. P) -Americans ac-
customed to paying their ordinary
hired girls" $50 or more a month for
general homework will be interested
to learn that Spanish domestics are
forming labor organization TO en-
force demand for an increase that
will bring their wages up to the
equivalent of s. or even $40 month.
Cooks, parlormaids, kitchenmaids,
wet nurses, and general help have
united in a movement not only for
higher wages but an eight-hour DAY.
This may look ridiculous in America
but it is serious business for the
Spaniards. They are accustomed to
paying their hired girls the equiva
lent normally of about 81 month and
requiring them to be on duty from
early in the morning to late at night,
or sven until / o'clock the following
morning.

with theiI hounds. Each had one
hound which he valued very highly as
they are extra good ones. The dogs
got on trail and followed it out of
the country. Neither hound came
until the first of this week Harry
Fowler's dog returned. Nothing has
been heard of the other hound and
Mr.. Croker is anxious about him as
he was valuable dog-worth at least
500. Mr. Crocker had him assessed
and is paying taxes on him, SO that il
anyone has him tied up and is try
ing to keep him, it would be good
idea to let him loose.
These hounds have been worth a
great deal to this community and
anyone who can give Mr.. Croker in
formation as to the whereabouts of
his hound will be doing the entire
community favor.

1t hardly seems possible that no or
diary boot owl could stop the Ken
dr1ck flour mill, put out all Of the
lights in Kendrick and cut off the
power on the power line between Ken
drick and Troy. Nevertheless, such is
the case. Tuesday large owl "Iir"
on the light line in front of Claus
Eichner's house on American ridge
1t is presumed he spread his wings
and touched both high tension wires
AT any rate he was electrocuted and
during the process the switch, was
kicked OUT here at the local switch
board, shutting off the electric power
In Kendrick. Twice the switch was
thrown out before it was learned
what caused it. After the owl was
electrocuted he hung suspended from
the wire by both feet. Later the
wind blew his wings against the
wires causing the switch to be thrown
out second time.
