Miss Maggie Glaze Has
Thrilling Experience
Miss Maggie Glaze had a thrilling
experience while visiting at Post
recently. While in the yard at the
home of George Ray she heard a
noise like the sound of a mower
and looked all around io see who
was cutting hay. She couldn't see
anyone but continued to hear the
buzzing sound. , She happened to
look down at the ground and was
horrified to see a big rattlesnake
crawl out from underneath her
skirts. How she escaped the fangs
of the reptile is a mystery. It is
said that August is a blind month
for rattlers and this may account
for her escape.
Funny Cartoon in
Motion Pictures
Next Saturday the Lyric will ex
hibit an excrutiatinglv funny ani
mated cartoon picture in which
drawings apparently come to life
and do all sorts of things in a per
fectly human or unhuman manner.
It is entitled "Col. Heeza Liar in
Ainca. wnere tne colonel pene
trates the desert and meets with
surprising adventures. First he
hatches an ostrich egg, is saved
from a hungry bear by a sleeping
porcupine, is chased by an angry
tiger, which he slays in a novel
way, overcomes another bear by
getting him drunk,' is persecuted by
a frolicsome monkey, and finally
leaves the desert triumphant, hav
ing killed a regular menageria, all
at one snoi. uniy two other car
toons of this character have ever
been shown here and they both
won instant approval, so much can
be expected of "Col. Heeza Liar."
Three other plays and one very in
structive picture, "Glimpses of
Pond Life," will also be shown.
Prineville People Help
Corral Forest Fire
Belknap Springs was the scene of
. a lively forest fire one day last
week. A couple of little boys
amused themselves for a time by
shooting matches from an air gun
Before they realized it a terrific old
forest fire was under way. Camp
ers saw great volumes of fire and
smoke roaring up the mountain side
and in a jiffy fire fighters were on
the job. D. F. Stewart, Jesse
Yancey, G. M. Cornett and .other
Prineville men and women were
rendering every assistance to keep
the fire in check until the forest
rangers could get there- After
several hours of hard work the fire
was got under control. The know
ing how to fight a fire prevented
serious loss to Uncle Sam. The
most remarkable thing about the
whole matter was the fact that al
most in an instant the mountain
side was enveloped in flames. The
sight was a good object lesson to
campers. All of them will be more!
careful of their campfires.
