‘ “The Jaguar’s Clawa.”
The idea of the hated Yankees pur-
chasing a Mexican village for motion
picture purposes in these present per-
ilous times, seems more or less unbe-
lievable, but nevertheless, this feat
was accomplished by the Lacky-Para-
mount company for the filming of the
scenes in “Jaguar’s Clams,” in which
Sessue Hayakawa will be seen at the
Princess tomorrow, -supported by a
cast of unusual excellence. The story
has to do with the adventures of a
particularly villainous Mexican bandit
and in order to secure the proper at-
mosphere and settings, the Lacky
company sent a representative to ne-
gotiate with the local jeffe, or mayor.
Thfe entire town, including the cala-
boose, was rented for several days to
the Lasky company. Everything pro-
gressed most satisfactorily until it
became necessary to film the scenes
where a band of American cowboys
ride through the town. The cowboys
with their horses were brought down
by special train and were then in-
structed to charge through the princi-
pal street. Unfortunately the jeffe
had failed to notify some of the citi
zens that they were in the employ of
the motion picture company, conse-
quently when the cowboys, whooping
and hollering and firing revolvers,
dashed down the street, a number of
the residents thought the expected in
vasion had arrived and promptly
sought places of safety.
Garner Local News.
Herald Correspondence.
Garner, Texas, Aug. 8.—This part
of the, county was blessed with a good
slow rain Sunday night, being a help
to fall feed crops and late melons, and
checked the high dry winds of last
week, which damaged cotton severely.
The boll weevil is doing its work in
some parts of this community.
Monday was a banner day for wat-
ermelons this season in Garner. It is
reported that eighty wagon loads of
melons were shipped from Garner—
.five carloads for one day. These mel-
ons sold for $6 and $8 per ton.
The Garner baseball club made a
trip to Springtown the latter part of
last week and played a series of three
games with the Springtown boys. The
score for eachjame was 10 to 7, 9 to
3 and 9 to 2 in favor of Springtown.
While the boyp retrned without a sin-
gle victory, taking their defeat man-
fully, they are much encouraged with
the hope of partly redeeming them-
selves next week when the Spring-
town boys return the visit here for a
series of three games.
The enterprising young men of Gar
ner are promoting and have about
completed the solicitation of the nec-
essary funds to build a .tabernacle for
use of the general public, which has
been in need for several years.
