NORTH OF So" A
TRUE SCREENPLAY
OF PIONEER DAYS

North of &c." by Emerson
Hough, depicting all the thrills and
hardships of pioneer days on the
Texas cattle ranges, has been
filmed for Paramount by Irwin Will
lat, who made the natural-color
picture, "Wanderer of the Waste
land" and other classics.
North of Sc" is tale of the
Texas cattle trail, picturing coun-
try wild, almost lawless, at the
period of the story, roughened and
disheartened by the recent civil
war.
Lois Wilson, as Taisie Lockhart,
manager of her own vast ranch in
Texas, finds herself penniless, with
no means of disposing Of her herds,
her chief asset being the true
spirit of the pioneers.
Word comes that way up north
of &c." a market beckons. With
her $500 cows, sixteen COW hands,
nineteen kinds of rifles and SIX
shooters and lis COW ponies, Taisie
makes the start, with all the thrills
that the start of the wagon train in
Emerson Hough's "The Covered
Wagon" evolved.
Through this great panorama one
sees groups of ragged sinewy
men, the glorious girl at their
head, the oxcarts and the sea OF
long-horned cattle, accomplishing
one of the greatest deeds of pioneer
bravery and daring.
Paramount has furnished not
able cast to visualize the story. 1t
includes Jack Holt, Ernest Tor
renee, Lois Wilson and Noah Berry
in featured roles. The picture will
be shown at the Opera House,
Winslow, Wednesday and Thursday,
April Is and 16.

Mrs. Geo. ]. Schaefer
BY REV. w. L. MARTIN

Margaret Louise Ross was born
in Texas, July 8, 1897 where her
earlier years were spent. She was
married to George J. Schaefer in
1919 and later came to Winslow
where they resided for some time.
To this union were born two chill
dren, but only one of them sur
wives the mother, little girl of
five years, who has been in the
care of Mrs. G. j. Wiley for the
past two years. The other child
died in infancy.
Mrs. Schaefer was victim of the
flu and never recovered from it,
her health gradually failing, until
relief came in her passing from
this life early Tuesday morning,
March II. She had gone to san
itarium at Phoenix a year or more
ago, in the hope of benefitting her
health, and remained there in the
care of tender nurses until the end
came.
The funeral service was held at
the Moore & Son Undertaking Par
lors in Phoenix Wednesday morn
ing, March IS, and was conducted
by Rev. w. L. Martin, of the Wins
low Christian church. Mrs. Schae-
fer was member of the First
Christian church of Ell Paso, Texas
Besides the husband and little girl,
a father and mother, two sisters
and three brothers are left to
mourn the loss of loved one. A
large number of friends from Wins
low and Holbrook attended the flu
neral services and rendered such
help as they were able Many beau
tiful floral offerings gave express
sions of sincere sympathy to the
bereaved husband The burial SER
vice was held Thursday after the
arrival of the mother of Mrs.
Schaefer, and was conducted by
Rev. R. E. Dunlap, state secretary
of the Arizona Christian Mission
airy society.
Mr.. Schaefer is serving his Sec
ond term as county treasurer of
Navajo county and has large
number of friends in the county
who deeply sympathize with him in
his sad bereavement.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, July 27.-Flags

Jennings Bryan until after his fu-
neral. This announcement was made
by William ]. Murphy, secretary OF
City Manager Williams r. Hopkins,
in the absence from the city of Mr..
Hopkins and Mayor c. c. Townes.
Mr.. Bryan's death came while his
friend Of many years, Myron T. Her
rick, Ambassador to France, was writ
ing him a long letter. Scarcely had
Mr.. Herrick, who is spending his va
cation here, sealed the envelope wnen
he was informed of the Commoner's
death.
"A letter from Mr.. Bryan address
to me at Paris reached me here jlls
a few days ago." Mr.. Herrick said.
1T contained $500 for his grandson III

BRYAN NEARLY KILLED
By SWALLOWING BEETLE
Commoner Saved by Quick Opera
tion in 1s96-Story Is Told
for First Time.
By the Associated Press.

RALEIGH, N. c., July 27.-But for
the quick work of surgeons, the obit-
uaries of William Jennings Bryan
would have been printed % years ago
and they would have carried the date
line, Raleigh, N. c., September 26,
1896" The story is printed for the
first time in today's Raleigh News and
Observer, of which Josepheus Dan
iels. Secretary Of the Navy during the
Wilson administration, is owner.
Bryan, then the youthful demigod of
Democracy, was swinging through the
South in his first campaign for the
presidency. He spoke to twenty
thousand people here that night and
but few noticed the sharp convulsion
of pain that overspread his face as he
concluded, or that he slumped toward
his chair. Those near him saw it and
sensed that something was wrong.
They moved instantly to him and
discovered he was unable to speak.
He was hurriedly removed to his
room, where an examination dis
closed that with his last inhalation as
he concluded his speech he had sucked
into his windpipe an enormous
beetle. 1t was a hard-winged, sharp
legged night flyer of the species still
common to this section The presi-
dental candidate suffered painful
decorations of his throat, but he
quickly recovered and the next day
continued his trip throughout the
Southern States. The press dis
patches of the night bore no reference
to It, but for the timely aid of those
close to him he would have choked
to death.
