NORTH ELLSWORTH FIRES.
Two Sets OF Buildings Burned the
Same Night.

North Ellsworth, Dec. 5 Especially
This section of Ellsworth lost two
sets of buildings Monday night, one
fire occurring at 9 in the eve
ming and the other just after mid
night. The two sets of buildings
were separated by nearly five miles.
Both fires are attributed to burning
chimneys.
The buildings Of William E. Rich
ardson, situated on the old Bangor
road, were the first burned. The
alarm was given about O'Clock, ana
before help from the nearest neigh
bors, an eighth Of a mile away, could
reach them, the fire forbade enter
ing the house to save anything. BY
the time others arrived, both house
and barn were a roaring mass OF
flames, and in very few minutes
were fiat.
The family had not retired, but
ESCAPED only with the clothes they
wore. Mr.. Richardson saved his
deeds. but lost other valuable papers.
He managed to turn loose his morse
and COW, and these were saved.
At 1890 Tuesday morning, the
buildings of Mrs. Abbie Phillips were
burned, with their contents, with the
exception of a few pieces of farming
machinery, which were saved from
the barn. Mrs Phillips spent the
DAYS at her home, and went 70 the
home of her son, L. H. Phillips, LOT
the night. She was always very care
full, and left almost no ire IN her
stove, but as the fire broke OUT
around the ell chimney, it is sup
posed the chimney had caught hre
and been smouldering for some time
Both sets of buildings burned were
in good repairs, and their destruc-
tion is a loss to the community as
we'll as to the owners.

"THE PONY EXPRESS"
A Battle With Indians Furnishes a
Real Thrill.


the greatest battle their tribe has
fought for forty years during the
filming of James Cruces new west
ern epic for Paramount, 1.-The Pony
Express" Not since the last battle
of the last Indian war in the United
States-the Ghost Dance War" in
| wyoming in 1886, have the Sioux
been engaged in a battle of SUCH
magnitude.
A band of more than one thou
sand Sioux Indians was brought to
Cheyenne, Wyoming, from their res
ervation at Pine Ridge, North Da-
kota, for the purpose of this stu
pendous picture. Decked out in
fantastic war paint, wearing little
else than loin cloths, and mounted
bareback on spirited Indian ponies,
they were given the order by Cruze
to attack the town of Julesburg,
Colorado.
In minute they had swooped
down on the town, circled it, firing
arrows and old-fashioned muskets,
driving off the stock, and sustaining
wounds from the barricaded towns
people, firing from windows and
doors.
Then in came the soldiers-186O
cavalry, recruited from companies or
real soldiers at Fort D. A. Russell.
More than seven hundred OF them
swooped down on the village, led by
young Billy Cody, played by Johnny
Fox, jr., and the greatest Indian
battle of this century took place.
Foot by foot the Indians were driven
out. The battle continued long after
il was out of range of the camera.
So realistic did the battle become on
the outlying hills, that Cruze had to
send out special riders to call it OFF,
for soldiers were still trying to round
M red men, and red men were still
running down and attacking Isolated
soldiers.
"The Pony Express" will be the
Christmas picture at the Dlrlgo.

INTRODUCES
 NEW HERO TO SCREEN

Ever hear of a motion picture hero who engages in a duel and loses it? who participates in a death grap- pie with the other fellow and does not get his man, though the latter drops dead from heart failure?-who makes love to beautiful woman and at the same time remains true to his real sweetheart-and who, despite all these things, still remains a hero?
 We guess not? And yet this is the entirely different sort of hero that Richard Barthelmess is intro ducing on the screen tonight at the LIBERTY THEATRE in his delinea- ton of Charles Abbott in "The Bright Shawl" the John s. Robertson pro- duction adapted from Joseph Hergesh- heimer's gripping romance of Cuba, in the days before it overthrow the yoke of Spanish tyranny.
 Barthelmess, if all reports are to be believed, is a mighty convincing and realistic hero at that Also, very much beloved one.
 And as the young American who has thrown himself in on the side of the Cuban rebels, he is nightly ad- mired for his tremendous courage and audacity even by the officers of the Spanish crown, despite the fact that he is a novice es a swOrdsman.
 Romance? He falls in love with the fairest daughter Of fine Cuban family; but he also pretends to be infatuated with a beautiful Spanish dancer-to gain valuable information for the rebels
 Fight? He crosses swords with the most expert sWordsman ill Cuba fights until he drops from utter eX- haustion, and is so greatly respected by his enemy that his life is saved.

This figure rep 1-sents ovel three hundred lions. adult and cub
 While the bounty system was in tended primarily as game protection, it has resulted in great saving of stockmen, who claim that the aver age grown lion commits depredations to cattle and horses each year to the amount of $500
 The bounty is paid upon submission to the newspaper management of the pelt of the animal and an accompany Ing statement that the animal was slain within the boundaries of the state.
