AS CASH IS RECOVERED
Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 20.—Post-
master H. C. McKeller announced
Wednesday that Wilbur L. Appling
Jr., a clerk in a branch station of the
post office, was in custody following
the recovery of most of an $18,500 REMARKABLE SHOTS OF

Lone Oak Hotel
Greenville, Texas, Dec. 20.—Fire
starting from an accumulation of oil ^
in a cafe swept through the McBride
Hotel at Lone Oak early Wednesday, ^
taking the lives of two men who were
trapped by the flames and causing ^
four others to be injured. j ^
Clem Wilburn, 53, husband of the %
operator of the hotel, and Dr. F. , ^
Roberts, 60, who had been a guest I
several weeks, were burned to death |
before aid could reach their rooms. | «j*jf
Howard Hicks, Arch Rabb and
mie Wallace suffered broken ankles i^,
when they jumped to safety from |
their second-story rooms and Bob j
Skurlock was badly hurt when he
jumped and landed on his back on a j gp
concrete sidewalk. Several other , gy
guests escaped before the building !
was destroyed. ^
Claudie Thompson, operator of the|%
cafe, said the fire started when he j ^
attempted to light an oil stove to pre-
pare a meal for a customer. The
burner had been left on and oil had
dripped to the floor.
When the cafe quickly became an
inferno, Thompson rushed upstairs to
spread the alarm. He was forced to
leave the structure after warning Mrs.
Wilburn and her son, C. A. Wilburn.
A barber shop, shoe shop and a
beauty parlor on the first floor of the
building were destroyed also.

“FLAMING GOLD” ACTION
The actual “blowing in” of an oil
gusher was captured in remarkable
photographic shots for “Flaming
Gold,” action drama of the tropical oil
lands with Bill Boyd, Pat O’Brien
and Mae Clarke at the Titus Theatre
Friday and Saturday.
Experts decided that the well was
about to spout. Accordingly, RKO-
Radio cameras and sound crews were
stationed at advantageous points to
capture the dramatic and spectacular
display of an oil geyser. When the
first warning came in the form of an
estimated 10,000 gallon spout of black
oil 150 feet upward, cameramen
spring to their posts and secured
what is believed a perfect record of
the thrilling occurrence.
The dramatic theme relates to Boyd
and O’Brien’s fight with an oil triigt
in “Flaming Gold.” Mae Clarke is
featured as the romantic interloper.
Ralph Ince also directed Helen Ware
and Rollo Lloyd.
