patrols. He was a real daredevil, and
if we hadn't known him as well as we
did, loved and appreciated him, we
would have thought he was a little
daft for his actions were such as
would be attributed to a man who had
no thought of safe and sane conduct,
even in war. Every night he used to
sneak out by himself, crawl along on
his hands and knees, or wriggle along
on his stomach out in front of our
lines in the inky blackness and the
mud of the strip of land between the
two rows Of trenches. He would
prowl around, crawl over or under
the barbed wire and come back little
while later with plenty of informa-
tion. Quiet appearing, he looked moth
ing like the wild, bulletzbraving in
formation-seeke he was. 1t. Mayhew,
if / may state my opinion, brought us
more information and knew more
about the German trenches along our
front northwest Of Toul than any
other individual in the regiment"

Hughes, author, playwright and mo-
tion picture director, who was inform
ed of her death in a brief cablegram
received at their home Saturday.
The message stated merely that
Mrs Hughes had committed suicide
and asked instructions as to the dis
position of her body. In commenting
on the brief dispatch, Major Hughes
said his wife had long been battling
disease and shattered nerves and "no
one else knew the battles she had
with storms of gloom which swept
over her"
81 let her go to China" he added,
because she thought she could re-
gain her health and courage there. /
thought that she had regained them
until the cable came announcing her
death. 1t is my greatest agony that
after a life of such close and devoted
union she should die alone and far
away"

balkiness, walked out in the direction
the burro was looking and there, un-
der cedar tree, found the dead man.
Garcia was a camp rustler. When
the storm came up, some of the sheep
came in without their herder. 1t is
thought Garcia set out from camp to
find the herder. Or it may be that
he went out to drive the burros to
shelter. At any rate, when the herd
er did get in short time after his
sheep reached camp, he noted Garcia's
absence and organized hunt for him.
Garcia was evidently headed to-
ward camp when he was overcome by
cold. He alighted from the burro, or
fell off, and had pulled some small
limbs from the cedar tree and piled
them, evidently preparing to light a
fire when the drowsiness of freezing,
overcame him.

Elihu Best started out last Wednes-
day night, working through the snow
east and north of here to Dead Mans
Flat. They returned late that night
and started again next morning This
time they got to the Aso sheep ranch;
then turned back again, being two
days making this attempt. Saturday
morning Sheriff Campbell and Deputy
Garrett decided to try it alone. They
got to the Aso camp and found a
team, which they took for the remain
der of the journey through the drifts.
This time they got to the ranch,
where they picked up the body after
inquiring into the circumstances and
brought it back to Flagstaff with
them, arriving late that night.
Justice Kidd called the coroner's
jury together Sunday forenoon and
their verdict was that the man was
frozen to death. He was buried Mon
day afternoon.
Garcia was 81 years old. He fas a
brother, Cleofas Garcia, in Flagstaff
and himself had lived here for sew

Ssh UFFLE ALONG" is FULL OF
PEP; HIGHLY PRAISED
EVERYWHERE.

Shuttle Along" is one of the lat
ter day musical concoctions in sslidi-
ty and cherioa of its story. The book
and dialogue is from the prolific and
fertile minds of Miller and Lyles.
Without the musical ccloring it could
be one of the funniest farces ever
written. The musical score of Sissle
and Blake makes it one of the most
charming offerings seen in MANY
years. 1t is as clean as a hounds
tooth; delightful Wholesome show
with the heartiest kind of laughter in
its lines racing along with it's fun
and lifting and tingling melodies that
give an evening of real enjoyment.
Said Allen Dale, the prominent
dramatic critic Of the New York
American Shuttle Along" is full Of
pep and real melody. At times it
seemed as nothing could stop the
chorus from singing and dancing ex-
cept ringing down the curtain, and
you did not mind how long they
shuffied along; you even felt like
shutting bit with them, all of which
| admit is not unusual for dear old
42nd. Street. AS a matter of fact
there is enough pep for two average
musical shows.
>"Shuffle Along" will be the at
traction at the Columbia Theatre OF
next Tuesday and Wednesday nights

Utility Board Hears Request Of Anniston For A New
 Southern Depot
ANNISTON BUREAU l THE AGE-HERABD ! AnnistOn. Ala. Nov. i

Erection of a new Southern depot for Anniston and a lowering of the water, gas and electric light rate of this city were urged by Anniston peo- pie at a conference between Fitz- hugh Lee and Frank P. Morgan, as sociate members of the Alabama pub- lie service commission, and about two dozen leading business men, bankers and manufacturing company heads at the directors room of the AnniSton National bank Thursday morning. The commission arrived in AnniSton Thursday morning from Birmingham and at 10:30 o'clock they were met by the business leaders of the city.
 Several public utility matters were members. One of the decisions reached during the conference was the means to be used in the effort to induce the Southern to provide new depot for it's line passing through Anniston. The announcement made in the city Wednesday that the Louis- vile and Nashville expected to inn prove their station here had the et- feet of satisfying some of those who desire a new station. Dr. E. c. An derson, presided over the meeting and among the business men of An niston who were present at the con ference were former Governor Thomas E. Kilby. Harry M. Ayers, of the An niston Star, urged the reduction in the gas rate for Anniston and J. w. Mallory, E. T. Cooper. MT. Kiiby and others asked for the lowering Of the water rate here. Messrs. Morgan and Lee left immediately after noon to return to their offices in Mont gomery and expect next week to visit Ashland, Wedowee and Colum- biana.
