BRIDE, HALF STARVED,
LOCKED IN FREIGHT

mISSOULA, Aug. 24.-Exhaust-
ed from lack of nourishment, a
girl, who had hardly reached her
29's. was found locked in a North
ern Pacific boxcar by railroad
men in the railroad yards.
When found and taken out. the
girl. who said she was beating her
way from Detroit to her home in
Los Angeles. was too weak and
sick to take more nourishment
than milk. Dressed throughout in
boys clothing, it was her voice
that gave railroad men the know
ledge that she was a girl.
As arrangements we're being
made to care for her for the night
a young man stepped from a IA
on another train and claimed to
be her husband, according to the
story in railroad circles. The girl
wanted to go with her husband,
who had S1.50 and they found
dollar lodgings.
According to railroad men, the
husband seemed to know that his
wife was locked in the car, but
no one was able to explain why
she was locked in the car of one
train and that he followed her on
another train. The pair continued
westward.

Lightning Strikes
House ct Glasgow

GLASGOW, Aug. pa severe
electrical storm visited Glasgow
early Sunday morning, a bolt of
lightning striking a two-story
residence on First avenue north,
blowing out the roof and sides of
the house and setting fire to it.
The flash was followed by a
.deafening roar of thunder heard
over more than 80 miles away.
The only occupants of the house
at the time were Mrs. Brftzman
and her daughter, Marie. The
Britzman boys were at the ranch
home with their father. Marie was
sleeping upstairs when the bolt
struck and was awakened by the
crash with a sensation of suffo-
cation, the debris from the falling
roof covered her. She called to
her mother who was sleeping
downstairs and who led her to the
stairs and to safety. While shock
ed both mother and daughter es-
capped injury.
The upstairs room ordinarily oc-
cupied - the sons, Carl and Will
mar, was demolished.

Nothing like Metropolis" the
ambitious UFA production that
has created wide international

in tall buildings underground while
the families of the wealthy eniov
the fresh air and sunshine atop
a great skyscraper. Metropolis is
ruled by John Masterman, a man
of great brain and whose only
soft spot in his heart is for his
son. Eric. This son falls in love
with Mary, n of the workers.
and he in sympathy for those who
work and dwell far under the
ground, becomes one of the I'm
derlings, much against his fathers
wishes.
Mr.. Lang introduces the up-to-

office, including a giant board

vision means of communication.

rated to watch Eric. This secre-
airy has a slanting forehead and
receding chin, an excellent type
or the heartless Masterman.
Some idea of the prodigious
work in this production can be
imagined when it is said that
bout $1,000 extras were engaged
n some of the episodes. Eleven
thousand of the men have shaven

tired after their hours of monoton-

The sequence in which Rotwang

BILE of Mary is put forth in a
startling fashion. Rotwang first
gives chase to the real Mary, and
then put her in a glass cylinder,
around which appear circles of
radium lights. To add to the i'm
preston, there are boiling liquids
in glass globes, and finally the
Mary without a soul is produced
with the help of an iron Robotlike
