Weekly Movie Nezvs

Colorful Locals In Western Film
No locale in the United States is
more picturesque than the South
west-particularly that section that
shows the old Spanish influence.
There is something about the low
adobe ranch houses with their
graceful arches and shaded patios
that suggests dashing caballeros,
darkeyed, languorous senoritas and
the gay music of the castanets and
soft, stunning guitars. Such a
background is an ideal setting for
romance 1t shows to ideal advan-
tage in Call of the West" the Co

One of the most delightful scenes
Of the picture is the outdoor we'd
ding which takes place in the patio
of the ranch-house. The atmos-
phere for this scene is contributed
by four Mexicans, who strum the

guitars.

The Evansville Bathers
Seeing Strange Sights
Well Known Citizen of Community
Claims He Met Up With Regu-
Lar Alligator

The alligator story that was rife
here two years ago has again been
made the subject of discussion by
the appearance of the animal last
Sunday afternoon.
A party of young people were in
the water bathing when the animal
was seen on the sand bottom in
about four feet of water
Walter Lund was the man who
saw the animal and he had quite a
good opportunity to study it as it
moved into deeper water. He saw
what appeared to be something ly-
ing still in the water, about five or
six feet in length, and as he was
watching it, it began to move out
ward. He plainly saw the feet of
the animal and states that it could
not be mistaken for anything other
than an alligator.
Needless to say, all the people in
bathing scampered for shore.
The animal was seen the first
time about two years ago in about
the same place by the Hagedorn
brothers, who operate the farm
known as the Hilda johnson farm
They went to get gun when they
saw it but when they returned it
had disappeared.
The place where it has been seen
two times now is on the south shore
along a sandy beach,
The story is told of a resident of
Millerville, who many years ago
used to go, to lake Moses daily to
fish and who was well acquainted
with the lake. While fishing there
one day he saw some peculiar ami
NAL in the water which he did not
recognize as a native animal and
from that day on he could not be
persuaded to go to Lake Moses
again.
If such thing as an alligator
really inhabits the waters of Lake
Moses someone should try and
catch it dead or alive so that peo-
plae would not need to fear going
into the water there.-Evansville
