LITTLE GIRL MAIMED AND SCORCHED IN A MYSTERIOUS ACCIDENT

; "WINCHESTER, Ind., July 6. Nellie, the- eleven-year-old daughter of Ned Odle, Blx miles north of here, ran to the kitchen of their home Saturday morning and cried to her mother: "I - am shot." Three fingers of the girl's left hand had been blown away and the child was burned from the Btomach upwards to the chin, a streak showing like the mark of a lightning stroke. The child cannot tell her parents what really happened. She had been In her grandfather's room rummaging through some bureau drawers, but according to the family no gun had been In the room nor could one be found. f Blood and flesh was spattered Against the wall of the room. The aocident remains a mystery. Some think that It might have been caused from an explosion of a stick of dynamite, yet no dynamite was known to be about the home. The child Is In a critical condition. Hotel Is Sold. ' The Branham hotel at Union City has been sold to F. C. Roberts and Will H. Davis, of Richmond. Ind. The Branham House, as it has always been called, is the oldest hotel in Randolph county and was erected when the old Indianapolis and Bellefontaine, now the Big Four railroad was completed to Union City. For many years Big Four trains stopped there for meals. A year ago the hotel was closed, and soon after was sold to- Bruce Beatty, of Union City, who In turn sold it to the Richmond men, who will take charge at once. Spend Quiet Fourth. Independence Day passed quietly here Sunday.

The Theatres

WASHINGTON. Tf It Is reasonable to judge a picture's success by the attendance it draws, "The Mollycoddle," Douglas Fairbanks' latest production for United Artists Corporation, which Is at the "Washington Theatre is destined to qualify as a sensation. The production is typical of Fairbanks. The star does the things he knows by past experience that he is most successful in doing. His smile is ever there. His theme has real worth. The production is unusual chiefly by reason of the huge outlay of fun that has accompanied its making. The supporting cast, familiar to Fairbanks' audiences, is exceedingly satisfactory. The plot of the picture has as its basic factors, heredity and environment, and shows conclusively that despite the fact that surroundings are paramount in importance, they are not as Influential as the blood that is born In a young man's veins. Fairbanks fans who always insist upon getting as much of "Dough" as

they possibly can, can find In this photoplay an hour and a half of keen enjoyment with scarcely a fraction of a minute slipping by without something typically Fairbanksian being enacted, while they revel in laughter, yells, shrieks and other noises and thrills to the point of shuddering. In "The Mollycoddle," Mr. Fairbanks is supported by a new leading lady, Miss Ruth Renick, who la very charming and attractive for a begin

ner. Wallace Beery as the villain m this picture does the best work of his

career. 1 he remainder of the cast is

excellent in every particular. MURRAY. William Russell, whose vigorous portrayal of dramatic roles in William Fox photoplays has won for him a vast following among motion picture patrons, is coming to the Murray Theatre on Monday in "Twins of Suffering Creek." a new Fox production which deals with life as it is lived in a little far Western mining town beyond the pale of the law. In a quarrel with a notorious character, Jira Pemberton, Bill Lark, on the turn of a card, is given five

days to live. - How he uses the time

granted and how he wins the love

of the girl who has been his guiding

star. Is the prinolpal theme of the

play which Is from the pen of RIdgwell Cullum, the well-known author of

Western Etorles. The scenario Is by Julius O. Furthman.

The company supporting Mr. Russell

Includes Louise Lovely as leading woman.

MURRETTE. Teeming with love and romance, and

packed with thrills that hold one

spellbound from start to finish, "The Orphan," a new William Fox produc

tion, starring William Farnum, which

opened at the Murrette Theatre Sun

day, is a screen masterpiece, so far

as western photodrama is concerned

While Mr. Farnum has enacted every

sort of role In the theatrical category, from the highwayman in western

drama to the unfortunate Jean Valjean of "Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables," it it doubtful if he ever has shown to better advantage than as the outlaw in "The Orphan." Hated and feared

by all, and hunted in the mountains by cowpunchers for the many lawless deed3 with which he is charged, the star gains the sympathy of the audience from the start despite his outlawry. The story has plenty of blood-stirring incidents that are predominant in all Farnum pictures, while the delight

ful love theme that runs throughout adds to the magnetic qualities of the picture. MURRAY VAUDEVILLE A bill which radiates "big time" atmosphere In all three of the acts opened yesterday at The Murray for the first three days. If you' are seeking vaudeville of the better class save

your car fare to Dayton or Cincinnati.

and see these acts and you will have you desires satisfied. Rappi, "the Sensational Violinist," comes under the wire by a nose for the applause honors, and he is easily accredited one of the season's hits He has the art of intermingling the classlo with the popular which hits home with the audience, while his surprises of singing and aside comedy remarks firmly establish. him. Ginger Snaps is a singing and dancing revue by two clever young men and two classy girls embellished by a beautiful stage setting which is one of the daintiest and most refined offerings the local stage has revealed for some time. A number of novelties are introduced the outstanding feature being the Russian dance by one of the male members. This is exceptionally well done. The Stuart Sisters open the bill with character songs. Both have good voices asd an abundance of personality and they show register. William Russell is on the screen in a Western thriller shown with The Fox News.

While playing on the lawn of the home of Dudley Elmer, 215 North Eleventh street, with a group of neighbor children, Eleanor unknowingly ignited the hem of her dress, from a blaze off a candle which the children were using to light their night fireworks. She screamed and started to run, but was seized and rolled to and fro on the grass by young Ross. This with

the assistance of his sister, Dorothea, who immediately helped in smothering the flames, saved the child serious injury if not its life.

Burns were suffered by the child from the hips to the neck, but with one exception on the right side, the scorched flesh was not deeply burned Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Potter and daughter are from Mansfield, Ohio, and with another daughter are spending the summer with relatives on North Eleventh street.

Summer Livestock Sale

Nets G. Bullerdick $1,780 George R. Bullerdlck varied the monotony of the harvest season by holding a live stock sale on Saturday, July 3, at his home place on Liberty avenue. It was a noonday sale and the rain came down in sheets just as the otowd was getting together. "It "wasn't a large crowd, but they were seemingly all buyers," said Mr. Bullerdlck. "At any rate, it didn't take long to sell out, and the prices paid were satisfactory." There were 15 cows and yearling heifers in the cattle ring and 47 stock hogs in the pens. The hogs, two brood sows, excepted, were spring pigs, which sold at from $7.50 to $14. The cows were fine Jerseys and milking Shorthorns, "as good as any of-

THE crude petroleum market plays no favorites. All refiners come to it on equal terms. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is no exception to this rule. It buys the crude oil it needs in the. open market and pays the market price. Only an infinitesimal part of the crude oil used by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) comes from wells in which it has evenm indirect interest. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) concentrates its attention upon the highly specialized business of refining crude oil. It sticks to its knitting. In the past four years the demand for the refined products of petroleum has more than doubled, while the increase in the production of crude has been only about 25 per cent. This growing demand, plus the increased cost of drilling and equipping wells, has caused the price of crude petroleum to advance. The market price of crude oil is a dominant factor in the price which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) charges for gasoline. Wherever possible the Company anticipates the trend of the market in making its contracts for crude petroleum. Whatever benefits it derives accrues to the public in lower gasoline prices. The price charged by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) for gasoline has advanced, but not to the extent warranted by the advance in the cost of crude oil. The cost of this commodity to the consumer would be very much higher were it not for the fact that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), through more efficient refining methods, is able to utilize, and make into useful products all portions of the crude petroleum. The extreme economy and efficiency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) refining and distributing methods have acted as a deterrent upon the upward trend of gasoline prices. This Company gives its customers in the 11 Middle Western states which it serves the benefits derived from any savings which it effects in the refining of gasoline and other petroleum products.
