the screen, Virginia Pearson rank
among the foremost emotional artist
today. This drama, "Thou Shalt No
Steal,” is a mystery play and 1
slightly confusing at the start fror
the number of actors and the rapidit;
with which they are introduced. Th
interest in the plot begins with th

sion until the ending, which no on
can foretell. A good play splendidl:
acted and staged.

1 FRIENDS ARE SKEPTICAL
, OF CADDOCK’S DECISION
i, DES MOINES, Marcn 19.—Friends
i. of Earl Caddock, world's wrestling
n champion/are inclined to accept with
'• reservation the announcement just re
i. ceived from France that he has de
li cided to quit wrestling and turn
farmer exclusively.
v This information was contained in
i- a special bulletin from the overseas
s edition of the Camp Dodger, the pub
4 lication of the Eighty-eighth division,
V to which Caddock was attached as
i sergeant. It came from Granderei
court, and was as follows:
"Caddock is on his way home, but
y he will wrestle no more. Before he
3 left the division he told his friends
’ that when he was released from the
f army he was going to retire perma
3 nently from the struggles of the mat
3 and turn farmer.
1 "It is to be a Wyoming ranch, and
3 it’s all on account of friend wife. For
1 Caddock frankly admitted that his
r wife objected to the wrestling game.
3 He said he had cleaned up $80,000 in
3 the last year and was ready to retire
' anyway. He added that he would ig
3 nore all the many offers of matches
’ he had received.
Caddock left the Eighty-eighth divi
sion at Lagney to attend an officers’
» training school, but the armistice was
: signed before he could complete his
, course. His name was brought to the
i fore at the announcement of the com
- ing Olympic games at Paris next
- spring, and the Eighty-eighth wired
i to find out whether he was coming
- back. They received a telegram that
r he was on his way home.”
Every previous report had been that
Caddock was anxious to defend his
. title and would meet all logical oppo
- nents. It has been known here, how
t ever, that Mrs. Caddock has never fa
vored his continuance in the wres
tling game.
OLDEST CAMP
IN NEVADA TO
BE DESERTED
LOS ANGELES, March 19—Aurora
Nevada, the bone of contention be
tween California and Nevada in 1861
and a center of mining activities since
that time, soon is to join the “ghos1
cities” of the West, it became knowi
here recently.
Aurora was the first mining camj
in Nevada, according to mining men
and millions were taken from iti
mines before the ore began to give
out.
The Aurora Consolidated Coppei
Company soon will move its 100-stamf
mill, and with this mill will go the
main support of the town. A large
sum was expended in 1916 by the com
pany for the handling of low-grnde
ore, but the plan proved unsuccessful
The uncertainty of the exact loca
tion of the eastern boundary line ol
California kept Aurora a bone of con
ter.tion between that state and Nevada
for over two years. The spring ol
t861 finding Aurora a new and rapidlj
growing town, the California legislat
ure organized the county of Monc
and established the seat of justice al
Aurora.
Governor Nye arrived in Nevada ir
July, 1861, and became convinced thal
Aurora was in Nevada, and proceeded
on that assumption. The first terri
torial legislature was created with
Aurora as its meeting-place, making
that city the seat of justice of twe
counties, under the laws of one state
and one territory, complicating mat
ters greatly.
Following much controversy, the
state line was established through
Lake Tahoe, thus placing Aurora ir
Nevada.
