.FAv0R|TE PONY GOES CRAZY
LoCoed by Strange Weed Attacks
Texas Charley
POPULAR COWBOY HAS CLOSE CALL
KILLS BEAST JUST IN TIME TO
ESCAPE BEING MASHED
TO THE GROUND.
POPULAR COWBOY HAS CLOSE CALL

BELLE FOURCHE, S. D., Sept. 25.-
"Texas Charlie" a popular cowboy
on the ranges north, barely escaped a
horrible death a few days ago from
the vicious attack of his favOrite COM
pony. which had become fatally To-
coed. The pony, known as PATSY"
was a shapely little dun-colored horse
of unusual intelligence.
1t first rose in the air with a ire
mendous leap and fell to the ground
with it's rider. The cowboy escaped
injury from the fall, but the pony
charged ferociously at the man who
had been his best friend. The man
lodged, and the horse sprang at him
again, but the battle lasted only until
the cowboy could get his gun, when
the horses sufferings were ended.
This is the first year in over twen-
ty that the loco weed has caused trou-
BILE in this section. Wet weather seems
especially favorable to the growth of
the weed, and at this time Of the year,
after the cotton comes out, it is more
quickly fatal than earlier in the sea-
son. Not only horses, but also cattle
and sometimes even sheep, form the
fatal habit. After an animal has tast-
ed it he becomes mad for it, and will
eat nothing else After eating it the
animal is practically intoxicated and
becomes unreasonable. unreliable and
senseless.
The most alarming characteristic OF
the habit is that it is almost impossible
to break, and also that if a horse is
once broken of it he is seldom good
for anything afterwards. The only
hope is to change his range and to get
him into a country where his favorite
dope" cannot be found, but even this
expedient often fails, for if he can
not obtain the weed the animal may
refuse to eat and die ultimately of
starvation.

incident in the streets, brought TO
mind Hoods Song of the Shirt" in
which the poor woman reached the
condition, near a whole cityful,
friends she had none" A lad of about
sixteen crossing the street, was seen
to stagger and fall in the middle of
the thoroughfare. Bystanders rushed
| to his relief. 1t was found that he
| had fallen from shear weakness. He
he had eaten nothing in forty eight
hours and had not a penny to buy
beg. and so had walked up and down,
| looking for he knew not what When
he fell his plight at once became evil
dent to a large circle, and the nickles
and dimes and dollars literally tumbled
| out of peoples pockets. Our official
charities are officially praised, and
! foreigners take the trouble also to
specially commend them; but where
are their agents in cases like this?
| They are probably around Investigate
ing cases of need. About three quar-
tiers of their revenue is spent in prob
ing the requests for aid that are given
in to their agents or at their offices.
Cases are known where agents have
spent a day investigating a case where
the party applying was actually as
near starving as the boy was. We
have had women and men tell us, with
tears in their eyes, that they would
rather starve than apply to an official
of charitable organization. 1t would
seem that the first object of a charity
organization should be to relieve dis
tress, even if there are deadbeats who
might secure relief that are not en-
titled to it. Better that a hundred
should deadbeat the charitable than
that one poor unfortunate should be
reduced to a starving condition like
this boy was.
Many sins have been placed upon
that scapegoat-the automobile. For
one thing, it is revolutionizing wo-
mems dress-though it isn't sure it
should be called a sin. Time was,
when a woman would no more think
of travelling by train or trolley in
light attire than she would of putting
on a ball gown to play tennis. But
recently, women, getting ready to dash
to town in their gasoline chariots,
have taken to the donning of fiimsy,
white dresses, suitable for luncheon in
a restaurant. Yes, some have put on
dinner gowns, with soft, light wraps
to protect them from the dust. Con-
sequently, women who must take
trains but who hope TO keep up with
the fashionable procession in attire
at least, come into town in butterfly
garb instead of the sensible travelling
suit
The returned members of society
are just beginning to get their trunks
unpacked. They could not get at them
any sooner. Such a mass of baggage
never was piled up in the railroad sta
lions as there was last week, when
the full volume of the returning tide
struck the city. AS many as a hum
dred thousand people were estimated |
to have come back to town in one |

Plan of Company.
It seems that the plan of this COM
pany is to amalgamate the interests
of the proposed new company at this
place with the Natural Oil & Develop
ment Co., of Montana which this
concern has established with consid-
cradle work done at this time, placing
10000 shares of treasury stock of the
Montana company on sale here and
the amount derived from such sales
to be expended for the development Of
the Walla Walla enterprises, the
present and future owners Of the
Montana stock to participate in the
profits that may accrue from the
Walla Walla plant, and those who
take stock in the Walla Walla or
home company to participate in the
profits of the Montana plant.
Is a Good Plan.
This would seem to us a very fair
way to place this stock before the
people of this vicinity as a lucky
strike of either oil or gas in either
place would mean a fine appreciation
of values of stocks.
With no desire to dictate to the
people Of Walla Walla as to what
they should or should not do, it oc-
ours to this committee that inasmuch
as it is more than likely that we are
located above millions of gallons Of
oil that it is good business to aid In
every way to push this thing along.

everything in the theatrical line and
has finally settled down to monolog and
the business Of making people laugh
who pay their. money, is. the comedy
feature Of the Unique's big vaudeville
bill this week.
Mr.. Harris has had varied experience
from one end Of the country to the
other. He was vaudeville artist when
there were no theaters devoted to that
style of entertainment. Mr.. Harris says
they called them dime museums in those
davs, for the museum, with it's freaks,
etc, evolved the vaudeville stunt and
tstunters,'' according to the veteran
Snowman.
Mr.. Harris, like Lew Dockstader, tries
to keep abreast Of the times in his
funny business. He reads the news
papers as it he were paid space rates
