Briefly and dramatically the story of the history of the forefathers of i Nophale, the last of a long line of chi< fs, played by Richard Dix, is unfolded on the screen. First comes the original man, a squat, ape-like creature, shambling along with his mate and young trailing behind. As he disappears into the forest another ' and higher type of being follows, and |s<> the race is trreed down through the coming of the Spaniards, the bitties with the whites, until the present day. o Auburn — Before an engine on tlie New York Central railroad could be lie brought to a stop after hitting an auto driven by Wilbur Lupton, of Portland, the vehicle was carried 100 feet.
