WILLIAM FOX
presents
THE
TERROR
Three of the most remark
able death-defying stunts ever
tried before the camera will be
done by Tom Mix, the screen’s
daredevil, in his latest William
Fox production, “The Terror’’
which is coming to the Royal
Theatre, Thursday, Aug. 20.
Because he was required to
risk lis life in the performance
of the stunts Mix determined
to get himself into first class
physical condition by training
every day for two weeks pre
vious to the beginning of work
on the picture.
In his first stunt Mix falls
down upon a wagon pole be
tween two rear horses of a
four-horse coach during a run
away. He was forced to hang
beneath the pole—his body
just a few inches above the
roadway—as the horses dashed
madly on. There was no driv
er while the scene was being
taken, and the fact that in
stant death would have been
the result had the horses dash
ed off the roadway makes the
feat all the more remarkable.
After this scene Mix swung
about to the top side of the
pole, climbing to the back of
one of the horses, grabbed with
one arm the girl he had res
cued from tne outlaws, lifted
her to his side and, cutting the
traces, galloped on while the
abandoned coach went to des
truction down the hillside.
The second stunt endanged
the lives of two, and following
the rescue of the girl. Mix had
to climb seventy-five feet up
the rope of crane in a quarry
filled with water, with the girl
clinging to his back. Lucille
Younge, an accompished ac
tress and quite an athlete, is
the girl Mix carried on his bac
and in view of her weight—
135 pounds—Mix’s task was
the more difficult.
The final big stunt of the
picture takes place in the Ode
on dance hall, and before it
had been accomplished five
“extras” were injured and fur
niture and other property to
the exetnt of *82,000 was dam
aged. Five hundred people
were in the scene, and at the
time the stunt was done by Mix
a regular jazz orchestra was
playing popular airs. He rode
his famous pony into the
crowded house and the stunts
he pulls will make your hair
stand on end. See it at the
Royal, Thursday, Aug. 26.

McKinney who reside in the
north part of town.
Young McKinney was in a
contingent of men that left In
dependence county, Sept. 4,
1918, and at the time of his
death was 21 years old. In the
death of this splendid young
soldier there lies a great trag
edy in the fact that he arrived
in France just five days before
the armistice was signed, and
was stricken with appendicitis
shortly after landing, being
able at no time before his
death to even write to his
friends or family. Death oc
curred on November 22, 1918.
The body arrived at Camp
Pike Wednesday night and af
ter the usual military given
those who lost their life in the
service of their country, the
body was shipped to Newark
and arrived here on the local
Thursday afternoon, accom
panied by Sergt. Riggins.
The body will be gives a mil
itary burial at Blue Springs
Sunday afternoon at 3:30. The
funeral will be conducted by
the American Legion.
