to the aforesaid merchant. The

une through being sunk for the
second time.

nisson and the quantity of news
iltering thrugh by the naval

to return. He will make a sec
ond attempt this evening
The construction of the new
G. P. Goggin building is going

die building will be an imposing
structure and very creditable to
.he town.

.0 the scene of his labors this
.norning after a few days in the

ter)- in the Jess creek section and

The Dream presents a two
part Pathe Weekly drama to
night, “The Haunts of Fear.” In
this picture realism is not sacri
ficed for dramatic art and there
is a story, original, absorbing,
logical and free from the fatty
degeneration of Broncho Billy
ism. No extended sketch of the
plot is necessary. The play de
livers a silent appeal and leaves
I a memory. Another attraction
of pleasing photography and
master directorship is “The
j Woodland Paradise,” an Edison
! product of unusual merit. Also
a fun feast with the fun makers
titled “A Deal in Real Estate.”
Tomorrow night The Adven
tures of Kathlvn, an episode en
titled The Spell Bound Multi
tude. Coming, Motion picture
dancing lessons.
The smoker and entertainment
held by the Moose last night was
an event that will linger many a
day in the minds those who were
fortunate enough to be on hand

of events of the most interesting
nature was offered by the social
committee, in addition to a
bounteous spread of choice eat
ables and drinkables and a se
lection of smokes suited to the
taste of the most fastidious. An
excellent orchestra consisting of
five well known artists, dispens
ed musical selections during tlu
evening and a number of vocal
selections of the most pleasing
character were rendered by some
of Nome’s most talented male
singers. Among the most inter
esting features of the evening
were boxing and wrestling
matches and acrobatic feats by
a number of the Fort Davis boys
and they also contributed most
d7ecti\''iy to other numbers on
the program. To these versatile
' • ung wearers of the khaki must
be credited the greater portion
of the success of the entertain
ment as they spared no effort to
help the affair along. The fol
lowing was the program of en
tertainment features. Four round
boxing bout by Messrs. Jones
and Petitt, clog dance Mr. Sears,
tw'o round sparring contest
