MYSTERY PLAY AT ELKS NEXT WEEK
Who shot Howard Clayton? :?

Who shot Howard Clayton?
 That is the ques ii n which promises to puzzle playgoers nightly when At 9:45", the melodrama of mystery. marriage and murder by Owen Daviss is presented at the ElBs theater starting Sunday, October 30.
 Described as mystery play, At 9:45, which comes here after long and notably successful New York run at William A. Brady's playhouse, is in reality a thrilling. gripping melodrama and one that is unique in that it is far removed from the sor- did surroundings of crime. The character in "At 9:45" are not of the underworld. They are normal folk thrust suddenly into a series of sit nations that thrill and hold from the rise of the curtain to it's fall at the end of the play. The Clayton case is one which becomes more myster- ious. more interesting, more ergross- ing, as it develops and it is not until the last moment that the identity of the person who shot Howard Clay ton becomes known. For three acts complication piles upon complication, situation upon situation, in what is described as one of the most thrilling mystery plays ever written
 While At 9:5" is primarily meiodrama of mystery. there is an abundance of humor that springs naturally from situation and. char acter as the stirring story is dis closed. It is one of the biggest productions attempted at the Elks this season and there is already a great demand for seats Be advised and get yours early.

The Erolic

If advance interest is any criterion by which to judge, the Halloween party to be staged next Monday at the F'rolic will by all odds eclipse any similar event ever undertaken in a local dancing club.
 Every night the management is be- sieged with inquiries as to just what
 the party will be like. And once again, E. s. Mayfieid, the floor man. to all the details of the party, an
 nounces it will be a giant celebration ranging from decorations, especially for the occasion, to prize events of all natures which will be offered on the
 ballorom floor.
 A great many of the patrons have signified an intention to attend the
 party in masq costumes. So
 much interest has been thus aroused that AIayfield announces, while it IS not primarily a masquerade dance,
 there will be prizes offered for the
 best costume attending the party. It
 is thus optional with the patrons. II
 they desire to mask-well and good there will be a prize awaiting the best one-but lack of costume is no barrier to the good time, for there will be suf- fieient events of all sorts to keep one continually in a round of merriment throughout the entire evening.
 F-avors of all sorts will be distrib- uted. spot dances for prizes, novelty stunts for awards, in fact, Mayfield has covered every angle in the ar
 engagements he is rapidly perfectins for this event.
 Refreshments will of course prove a big factor then as usual at the Frolic, and the same unexcelled service will be on hand during the party that has
 proven such an enjoyable feature at l the F'rolic since its opening. Mayfield is still enlarging his dane ing classes, and may be found at any | time either at the Frolic or his resi-
 dence by phoning S2So.

Irish Justice" with Bob Greer as Judge Casey" starting today at the Ramona, sounds good and to those who have seen Greer in Irish comedy no great stretch of the imagination is necessary to arrive at the conclu- sion that Irish Justice" will prove the funniest farce comedy offering of the Greer -Lawler Pioneer Girls company to date.
 This is that hilarious spectacle of a court of justice presided over by Judge Casey and in which lawyers jury, bailiffs, witnesses and prison CTS alike come in for censure and sentence from His Honor" A pig

The New Train Schedule.

A display advertisement in last

The new schedule is not as satis-

A Slim chance-Maybe.

When the chance to get the game
wasn't promising the old-time squirrel
hunter used to have a way Of saying
It's long shot and a slim chance,
with plenty of limbs in the way"
That's homely enough way to tell it,
but rather expressive, no doubt, during
the days of the old muxzle-loading rifle
and scarcity Of ammunition And all
OF which may well be applied to the
prospecting for oil in paying quanti-
ties in the central portion OF BOssier
Parish-so 1t would seem.
In last weeks issue Of the Banner
there was prospect article under
the heading, Bellevue May Get IT,
It appears that it contained news
value, all right, for it has resulted in
sufficient comment for the reporter to
gather in additional information on the
subject.
Last weeks article had reference,
chiefly, to operations In township 10,
range IL, and more particularly to
those BY Mr.. n. o. Roy and associates.
Mention was made OF the Buster Smith
well, located ins section Z, which we
stated was said to he still making some
oil. Our present inforna ton, from
good source, is that when the well was
drilled in last year there was a large
showing Of good oil--3S to 40 gravity
full of gasoline and other high-grade
products. That's fine, as far as it goes,
but the regret Of the situation is that
| the Well is no longer on the beam.
Presumably, its flow of oil does not
| justify the expense. But there is hope
that the big pool from which it springs
may vet be located. Only the pros
pectOrs can develop the field-so it
remains the right thing to do to boost
them in their game.
The lOw-grade oil discovered in the
northwest corner Of section Ia we learn
is of but is gravity. so there is really
| nothing of note of encouragement In
the find. However, it is from shallow
| depth-said to be about 800 feet-so
there is no reason why the prospectors
should throw up their hands and quit.
It isn't much trouble to move and we
believe, with proper encouragement,
some Of them will stick on in the Belle
vue territory until the big pool of oil
Is finally located.

Salt Water Kills Fish.

A clipping from late issue of the
Shreveport Times reads:
+ Salt water. presumed to be from
the oil fields, flowing down Flat Lake
and emptying into DOrcheat Bayou
several miles above Minden. il killing
thousands Of fish, according to reports
from the people Of that community.
The people Of Webster Parish are
greatly wrought up over the situation,
according to reports in Shreveport, and
the Webster Police Jury has passed
several resolutions in protest. City
officials of Minden, it is reported, CONF
planned Of the situation to the State
Conservation Commission three weeks
ago, but up to the present no action has
been taken by that body, 1t Is stated.
People from AIinden visited Dor
cheat Bayou, where Flat Lake empties
into it, and report that dead fish of all
sizes and varieties were floating in the
water. by the wagon load As no
action has been taken to stop the salt
water, it Is said that heavy rain will
be the only agent that can save the
fish in the extreme southern portion OF
the stream, where the water has not
yet become contaminated.
When discussing this condition,
United States District Attorney Moore
| made the following statement: Inas-
much as Dorcheat Bayou is a navi.
gable stream, and the State ConserSa.
tion Commission has taken no action
In this matter, it ii probable that the
federal authorities may take it up
