She is not lacking in beauty even though she may lack in height and weight.

Miss Orth was a dancer in a Nora Bayes show in Los Angeles when she deserted the stage for the screen. Famous Woman Homesteader Who Defied Nobleman Dies To seal in the delicious Burley tobacco flavor. . Sf-s Toasted Denver, June 28. Mrs. John J. Man ford, who gained fame half a century ago by. her determined and successful "smoking out" from the Estes Park region of the Earl of Dunraven. and who was known to thousands of Amer ican tourists who have visited the Rocky Mountain National Park, is dead. She succumbed to a surgical opera tion in a Longmont, Colo., hospital, and was buried in Leveland, Colo., last week. As Miss Flora Shoemaker, Mrs. Man ford abandoned a prosperous dress making business in Denever, in the early 70's to become a "squatter" on land in the Estes Park region that Lord Thomas Wyndham, Earl of Dun raven, had attempted to acquire as a "hunting preserve." . 'Lord Thomas made his first. visit to the Estes Park region, now the Rocky Mountain National Park, in 1872. R was so delighted with the country that, a few years later, he started s. cam paign to secure titlle to the entire coun tryside and keep it as a vast estate upon which he and his friends of Eng lish nobility could hunt big game.- It was charged in some quarters that a number of men were hired . to homestead the region and turn their claims over to the Earl. He secured, it is said, title to more than 16,000 acres before the Federal government learned of his lordship's plans, and moved to check them. Learning from an "inside" source that Uncle Sam was preparing to con test the Earl of Dunraven's claims, and that the territory might be throvn open, to new entry, Miss Shoemaker closed out her modiste establishment and went to the park. After carefully scrutinizing the "es tate" of Lord Thomas, Miss Shoemaker selected a particularly beautiful tract on the west bank of Fish Creek, just opposite a palatial hotel and casino that the foreign nobleman had erected to house, his visiting friends. Miss Shoemaker quietly filed a homestead entry on the tract and pitched a tent for her temporary home. LIFE THREATENED, HURLS DEFY A tremendous protest was vcioed by the English colony against this inva sion, and some threats are said to have been made upon the youna; woman's life. She defied the Eari and his guests, and, purchasing a rifl and a goodly supply of ammunition 'dared" anyone to oust her. For weeks following, Miss Shoemak er was subjected to numerous petV an noyances. She was unable to hire men to build her house or do any work about her claim. Undaunted, she start ed the arduous task of shaping' with her own hands a log' cabin Several night attacks were made on her lcne ly shack, but the intruders were driv en away when she opened up with vol leys from her rifle. At the end of a few months, Miss Shoemaker had com pleted a log home, and also built a substantial fence around most of her property, "under the noses" of the protesting Englishmen. The plucky "squatter's" determina tion and success inspired others and soon new settlers began to "stak-i out" claims on the land desired by the Earl of Dunraven, contesting hi3 title to the property. They came so rapidly and in such numbers that Lor i Thom as lost hope of holding the domain, re linquishing his claims and leaving th country forever. The Manfords have operated a chain of cottages for the benefit of tourists for the past few years. ARREST STRmiNG FffiEIVrEN. Quebec, . June 28. Five striking mu nicipal firemen, including Wilfred Gari epy, president of the firemen's union, were arrested Monday night charged with violating the municipal strike and lockout act, which makes strikes of municipal employes illegal. Warrants were sworn out for the arrest of about twenty other strikers. Conservative Management This has been the chief factor in . the uninter rupted success of the Charlotte National Bank. The officers regard the safety of money de posited with this institution as a sacred trust, and have exercised the greatest care in investing it in securities which afford the maximum of safety rather than an exorbitant rate of interest. As a result, this bank is recognized as a thoroughly SOUND and DEPENDABLE bank, the logical bank for you. &k CH A" NATIONAL BANK SOUTH TRYON AND FOURTH STS. 4' Savings1 FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM United States Depository ROBBERS STRIP MINT HILL STORE About $2,00CT Worth of Goods Taken While Em ploye Sleeps Near By. Thieves entered the general merchan dise store of S. C. Alexander at Mint Hill Monday night and stole around $2,000 worth of automobile supplies to baccos and produce. A man was sleep ing in a room in the rear of the store at the time, Mr. Alexander reported to the Charlotte police Tuesday morning. The robbery, while believed to have been committed sometime after mid night, was not discovered until the store was opened for the day Tuesday. Consequently, not the slightest clue could be obtained which might lead to the apprehension of the robbers. Neither was it possible to indicate how many were in the gang nor how many automobiles were used to carry away the booty, although the amount of goods stolen led the police to believe that two or three cars carried the theives to the store. A list of the stolen supplies, as fur nished the police by Mr. . Alexander, follows: Twenty automobile tubes, size 30 by 3 1-2; 15 blow out patches, 24 tubes of repair patches, 40 pounds Maxwell House coffee; 200 boxes of Chesterfield cigareetes; 100 packages of smoking to baccoes; 3 1-2 gallons Texas motor oils; a 5-gallon can of gasoline; Philadelphia batteries, two boxes spark pluges, one box -of valves, 12 cans of cement and a big assortment of cakes, salmons and canned goods. The theives left two sacks of canned goods and a sack of flour sitting on the porch of the store. The Alexander store is located at the forks of two roads in Mint Hill and is one of the largest general merchandise stores in the county. In addition to the Charlotte police, Sheriff W. O. Cochran's office also was notified and rural police men made an investigation. The theives evidently were familiar with the surroundings and made a safe getaway without leaving the . slightest clue. Entrance into the store was ef fected through the front doors, the locks on which were broken. SUBPOENA.
