MAORILAND THEATRE.

FRED THOMSON AND HIS WONDERFUL HORSE. "Galloping Gallagher,"' the thrilling Master Picture to he screened at the Maoriland Theatre on Wednesday tells an unusually interesting story. Bill Gallagher comes into the town of Tombstone to find it terroiNStrickeri. from a brigand raid. Just as the townspeople are fearfully whispering to him tiie raiders run from the hank and swing on to their horses and go down the street. Bill swings Silver King (his horse) after them, quickly overtakes them, straight-arms one out of his saddle and bulldogs the other. The townspeople elect the newcomer sheriff. His joy is short-lived however, when a note is sent him, anonymously: "Tombstone is unhealthy for sheriffs. Seven days is the dead line." His first official duty is that of welcoming and standing (protector for the visiting parson, announced as due in town. While at the station, Bill is dumbfounded to find that the new parson is a woman and .a beautiful one. One beautiful woman in a town full of rough cowboys and worse and there's the devil to pay. But Bill Gallagher is willing to pay for the sake of the girl, and how he does it is revealed in a climax that is thrilling to the n-th degree.
