Her name is Winona o Oil. She
was born and brought up on a great
cattle ranch in New Mexico. She and
her mother moved to Plainfield two
or three years ago. 1t was not long
before the news began to get about
of the odd things this girl had taught
her pets to do. An ever-increasing
number of visitors has been the result.
Now there is hardly a day but auto.

from the various towns for ten or
twenty miles around to see-if it is true

a bull will stand on it's hind legs and

Land SUITS KNOCKED OUT
Oemurers In Eastern Oklahoma Title
Gases Started by United States
Are Sustained

Muskcgee, Okla - Judge Ralph
Campbell has sustained the demurrers
in the suits brought by the United
States to set aside various deeds and
leases made by citizen allottees in
the five civilized tribes in eastern Ok
lahoma, and thus settled a legal cons
troversy that had been the cause of
considerable concern in that part Of
the state.
The court reviewed the relation of
he United States to the five tribes
since they became a nation, and found
that no vestige of title to the lands
allotted them now remains in the
United States. The demurrers involv-
ed the question of the citizenship Of
these Indians and the court declared
them to be citizens Of the United
States with all the rights, privileges
and immunities of citizenship. 1t 10
held that the United States cannot
maintain these suits on the principle
that it sustains to the individual In
dian a trust relation, such gsara'an-
ship being incompatible with citizen
ship, national and state.
Ffnally the bills were held bad be-
cause numerous defendants are joirei

bareback rider in a circus. A once
vicious bull does equine high school
tricks, and so on. The calf and the
bull are the star performers. No one
ever has been able to teach such ami
mails to do stunts" before.
1t has been a tradition among train
ers that it is impossible to educate
domestic horned cattle to do tricks.
Miss Won Oil decided to experiment
with the toughest subject she could
find. She let it be known that she
wanted to buy the most dangerous
and vicious two or three-year-old bull
that was obtainable for miles about
Plainfield. Much to her Joy she heard
of one whose owner was going to kill
him because Of his superlatively ugly
temper. He was between two and
three years old, and had gored three
men. 1t was the same with this
vicious animal that it had been with
the horses she had tanned on the range
years before. Surlily and unwillingly
at first he yielded to the dominance
that he could not understand. Miss
Won Oil got him this spring. To-day,
with her, he is as gentle and as clever
at doing quickly and intelligently the
unusual things he has been taught IS
is a docile and well-trained horse. He
poses on barrels and pedestals, lies
down and rolls over at the word of
command, waltzes, and SO on. Even
up for an instant, but it needs only q
word from his trainer to make him
obedient again.
One of this bulls most remarkable
tricks, considering his vicious record

proaches and literally roots and noses
her across the turf seeming to derive
great enjoyment from rolling her over
and over and finally seeing her awake.
His horns are only four or five inches
long, but are sharp as needles. With
an animal of this description, the ex-
perts say, this particular trick is a
shade more dangerous than any that
is attempted in the lions or tigers
cages by the exhibitors of those great
cat animals. Another thing this bull
does is to pick up his teacher and
carry her. He grabs her clothing with
his strong teeth and marches along
with her for a dozen yards and then
carefully let's her down to the ground.

not such a large proportion of the dis

It is doubtless a fact that the boys

dangers might confront boys far from
