HUNTING WILD HORSES,
A Favorite Sport in New South Wales
How the Animals are Broken.

-T1OW kuG HTIiudiS dTC 6TOkSNs
Whether "brumby" is a survival Of
the aboriginal name for a wild horse
OF a corruption Of unbranded" ap-
pears to be a question which philolo-
gists have left undecided, but brumby
hunting is still a favOrite sport in New
South Wales.
Districts like the Clarence and
| Stephens and Manning river water
| shed are still the home Of numerous
droves of brumbies, and hunting them
is declared to be a very exhilarating
pastime. The first step taken is to
stake out a corral and make all secur
except a narrow entrance, which can
subsequently be gated. On either side
of the entrance and projecting from 1t
funnelwise a "booby fence" is pre-
pared.
To the simple minded brumby 1t
presumably looks like a stockade, and
pieces OF f~uttering cotton make 1t
look .impregnable. When this is ready
the young bloods, well mounted, gallop
out and round up the wild horses.
| driving them with shouts and much
loud swapping Of stock whips toward
the mouth Of the funnel.
In a group OF brumbies there Is al
ways a leader, and when once the
hunters have got the leader heading
for the corral they are pretty certain
Of the rest Of the drove. The dutter'
ing cotton rags of the sham fence are
sufficient to deter the brumbies from
breaking through the fimsy barriers.
and in less time than it takes to tell
the wild horses r safely corraled
and the big gate shut on them.
Then they are left for four and
twenty hours without food and water
to reflect on the situation, and after
that they can be broken In without
] much difficulty.

DEPEND ON TECHR|CAL|TY
Thaw's Counsel Raise the Question of
the Legality of His Commit
ment to Matteawan.

Poushkeepsie. n. Y, May S.-Counsel for
Harry X. Thaw today filed traverse to
the return on Thaw's writ of habeas
corpus. The chief question raised by the
traverse is the constitutionality of Thaw's
commitment TO the Matteawan state hos
pital. 1t is alleged that the return made
by DR. Amos T. Baker is invalid. null and
void. II is claimed that the commitment
is insufficient for Thaw's further deten-
ton, because il does not show that Thaw
was ever arraigned before Justice Dowl-
ing who made the commitment, or that
any witnesses were produced or examined
in his presence. or that Thaw had any
opportunity to deny the charge of insan-
ity; or that his going at large would be
dangerous to public peace and safety. The
form of the traverse indicates that the
question of Thaw's sanity will be subordi-
mated at the outset of the proceedings
next Wednesday to the validity of his
commitment.
Should Justice MorschaCser decide that
Thaw was not constitutionally committed
to Matteawan he probably would order
ThaW, discharged without any inquiry as
to his sanity.
