ADDS BIG SECTION
J. TO GAME PRESERVE

WASHINGTON, July 11.-The presi-
dent has Just signed proclama tion
adding approximately 942, 400 acres to
the Grand canyon national forest.
The game preserve, as previously es-
tablished, included that portion OF the
Grand canyon national forest lying
north of the Grand canyon. The new
proclamation includes all of that por-
tion of the forest lying south of the
Grand canyon except the southwest
corner of the forest lying on the west
side of Cataract canyon and south of
the township line between townships 81
and 80 n.
This extension of the game preserve
is in accordance with an act of con-
gress approved June 20, 1906.
Section OF this act provides, That
when such areas have been eSignated
as provided in section l of this act,
hunting trapping killing or capturing
of game animals upon the lands of the
United States within the limits of said
areas shall be unlawful, except under
such regulation as may be prescribed
from time to time by the secretary of
agriculture"
The extension of the game preserve
to include the land south of the Grand
canyon is considered imperative in or
der to protect the game now in exist
ence. There are a few deer, wild tur-
keys and grouse, and occasional small
lunches of antelope in the vicinity of
Cataract canyon. This country is grad
ually becoming more and more accessi-
bic to hunters. Wild animals have be-
come almost extinct, and the proclama-
tion aims at the protection of the little
game which remains
The Grand canyon, one of the scenic
wonders of the world, has become very
popular with tourists and visitors in the
west owing to the ease of access and
betterment of accommodations afforded
by the various hotels along the rim
The protection of the game will add
to the interest of tourists, and it is
hoped that in the course of time the
wild animals may become abundant

HIGHWAYMEN GET
ONLY TRAINED Cal

CLEVELAND, July 1.-Two angry
gentlemen robbers, one angry bicyclist
actor who resembles Fred Brandt,
treasurer of Keitlfs, and one angry
performing cat, figured in a melodram-
attic after theater sketch last night on
East Fourth street near Prospect ave-
nue., S. Z.
Fred Ferrell of Ferrell Brothers, BIZ
cycle performers at Keith's, had stayed
through till the end of the show last
night to see the resr of the perform
ance Then he went to his dressing
room, leisurely got into his street
clothes and picked up his valise
In the valise was Mike" the per-
forming tiger cat, who rides on Fer
rells handle bars in his act and blows
the horn. The performer had a special
case made for Mike" with little dor
mer windows at the end.
AS Ferrell passed with his grip from
the deserted theater two men stared
closely at him under the light They
were rough and unshaven, just like
the thugs on the stage. Their makeup
was perfect. Ferrell, however, walked
on without thinking much of the mat
ter Turning at East Sixth street and
Euclid avenue, he noticed that the men
were following him. Still he didn't
think much of it. He walked along
Euclid avenue to East Fourth street
and turned south along the line of cabs
at the after theater hostelries. The
men followed. Alarmed. the bicyclist
looked for a policeman. The next min
ute one of the men jumped at him and
pushed a pistol in his face.
We've got you, Mr.. Brandt" Kissed
he Of the weapon. Make holler
and youll get this
Even as he said his the other high
wayman caught Ferrell's valise-that
of the performing cat-and hurried
toward the market house.
Ferrell shouted for help and started
IN pursuit. The men turned through
a couple OF alleys and disappeared.
Ferrell and a patrolman whom he had
met hunting for the trail finally heard
the loud and dismal meow of an i'll
used cat. AS they ran toward the
noise a tiger cat jumped through the
patrolman's legs and Ferren tripped
over his empty valise lying in the
middle of the alley.
That's all there is to the story. as
far as Ferrell or the patrolman knows.
Except that the bicyclist had to chase
the frightened Mike" all the way back
to the theater. alternately swearing
and calling him endearing names.
Oh yes, Fred Brandt, treasurer of
Keiths was a little sore. too 7 won
der where they thought l was going
with the money!" he groHled when
he heard the story.
