Drama at Opera House.

There can be no doubt about the en-.
tertainment value OF "The Fast Mail"
the William Fox melodrama which will

tains enough thrills to satisfy even
the most critical movie fan.
''The Fast Mail which was pro-
duced from Lincoln ]. Carter's sensa.
tional railroad melodrama. Is even bet
ter than the original play which ran
for % seasons.
The story starts at the historic
Dixie Land SteeplechaSe and pictures
some of the fastest daredevil riding
ever shown on the screen. The hero
was fouled during the running OF the
race by the brother of thesshrdluup
race. Crooked gamblers who had the
girls brother in their power had fixed
the race, so that they would win the
money.
During an argument over the divis
ion of the stake, one of the gamblers
Is shot and the other one decoys the
heroine into an automobile. The hero
follows and the most exciting pursuit
ever screened, follows.

This announcement is very surpris.
Ing though gratifying to many par.

This article not only supports the
opinion OF many who bel eve that
this kind of special preparation at
iome boarding school Is simply =
waste OF time and money; but also
shows that many of the high-prlced
preparatory schools must be little
more than places for having good

young people who take advantage OF
every offered opportunity and would
NATURALLY make good at boarding

any parent to think that he must

led oftener than not. forcing Montreal
from corner to corner and back again
In the first two rounds Villa fairly
flew at his opponent, pressing him
hard with rights to the body and lefts

make but little responses. In the
third, however, the Providence fighter
waded In at the start, and with pun.
ches that scored often but appeared
to have no strength, established a
lead for the round that Villas later
aggressiveness could not overcome.
In the fourth Villa came back again

sixth rocked him, using both hands

A sensational automobile accident.
fortunately without fatalities or bodi-
ly injuries, happened late Monday af.
ternoon at the corner OF Main and
Valentine streets. In attempting TO
avoid a collision with Ford operat.
ed by Egbert Amadon OF Pownal. a
new REQ touring car owned by A. A.
Steward of Rutland was driven into
the piazza fronting the Goldsmith
store with disastrous results to both
car and .azza.
The REQ with the owner at the
wheel and Henry d. Fillmore of this
village, passenger, was travelling
eastward over Main street and, judg.
ing from the amount OF damage Great.
ed in the crash, must have been
travelling at high speed.
AS Steward approached the corner
he observed the Amadon car coming
into Main street from the right anG
to avoid hitting the Ford turned
sharply to the left. 1t is possible
that he may have increased the speed
OF the REQ while making the turn.
Anyhow. the car climbed the high
curbing, ran across small lawn and
crashed into the Goldsmith house
with force enough to jar the building.
Apparently one front wheel was
twisted from the axle when the car
hit the curb without checking the
speed OF the car which knocked down
one of the large piazza posts and rip.
ned up the flooring, causing damage
to the amount of $40 or $50. The
other front wheel was put out OF
commission when the building stop
ped further progress.
An instant before the accident Mrs.
Joseph W. Pierce was standing on the
sidewalk directly in the path taken
by the car in its leap across the curb
ing. She succeeded in avoiding be.
ing run down but the REQ in Its fight
passed so closely that her coat was
caught and the cloth was cut.
Evidently the mechanism of the
car did not sustain much damage as
II was able to be taken from the
scene OF the accident under its own
power.
Following Is a description OF the
accident written by a bystander and
submitted at the Banner Office by Mr..
Steward;
Yesterday while A. A. Steward, of
the firm of l.. & j. A. Steward OF Rut-
land was driving his car up Main
street, accompanied by II. d. Fillmore,
he noticed the Amadon milk and
cream truck approaching from Val
entne street going north, Since ANA
don appeared not to notice the REQ
or his danger, Mr.. Steward quickly
turned his car to the left endeavoring
to make the corner into Valentine
street, but on account OF the street
being very narrow, his car struck the
deep curbing. passed over It with both
front wheels dlslocated and other
damage to the running gear. The
bumper struck the corner Of the Gold
smith porch, knocking the post out
The REQ was not making extra speed
at the time OF the accident, and by
avoiding Amadon's truck no one was
In any way injured. The car with
some adjustments ran by Its own pow
ed to the Taylor garage for further
repairs"
