West show for many years and traV-
eled all over the world, is rapidly fall
ing to pieces. Colonel Cody, out of
sentiment, will not allow 1t to be re-
paired or altered in any way. The bull
lets of the Apaches and Sioux are still
imbedded in it's sides.
Buffalo Bill has a double in the.
show. He is Pop" Mccain, 70 years
old, and has been a Snowman sixty
three years McClain is boss OF the
walk" about the tents. If tent stake
Is out of place an inch or so McClain
seems to sense 1t. He possesses a rich
vocabulary of several languages which
he is credited with letting loose at
intervals with telling effect on appren-
tice canvas men.
Pawnee Bills herd Of buffaloes was
imported from his ranch in Oklahoma
where he makes it q business to pre-
serve the species. They are big, shaggy
fellows that have become used to being
lassoed and fired at with blank car
tridges.
MARVELLOUS LARIAT THROWING
While the American cowboys in the
show are said to be the best horsemen
with the exhibition, they have yet to
attain the skill in throwing the lariat
of Mexican joe" who stands six feet
without the aid of his high-heeled
boots. Joe twirls the riata with mas
ter hand and ropes six horses at once
while in the saddle. He Is said to be
the champion of the world in this ac-
complishment and to have astounded
the Europeans with his skill.
The mascots are 4-year-old Thelma
Thompson, who has spent her life in
the show business, and York; 5-year-
old Shetland pony, weighing 165
pounds 1t walks siXty-five feet on
it's hind legs in the arena. York; and
Thelma are great friends but the pony
takes the warpath frequently against
intruders.
1T is very seldom" said Bradley,
that the colonel leaves the camp for
any length of time, but he determined
after his arrival here to make the most
of his short stay The show boys are
enjoying this climate to the utmost,
and we only wish we could stay
longer. 1t is seldom that we camp in
city with such pleasant surround
ings. Colonel Cody and many of the
performers have many friends here,
which makes their visit doubly en-
joyable."
This afternoon the first performance
will be given on the grounds at Wash
ington street and Vermont avenue.
There will be four performances during
the stay here, today and tomorrow.

MUST REMOVE FENCES
FROM CITY PROPERTY
Burns Avenue Landlords Take All
They Can of Public Land.
Must DiSgorge

AS private property owners on Burns
avenue have gobbled large chunks
of the street, the board of public
works has ordered the street depart
ment to remove their fences. These
private fences have been built out over
the street from four and one-hah rect
to nearly fifteen feet in some places
according to surveys made by the en-
gineer's department
The engineering department has
cen instructed to prepare plans ana
ordinance for the Improvement or
Burns avenue between Hoover ana
Vermont. In examining the records
1t was found that the city has title TO
a seventy-foot street, but an exam
ination of the ground disclosed the
fact that fences on several lots on the
north side of Burns avenue project IN
to the street.
In front of two lots east of Wood
ward avenue the fence tapers from
9.5 feet to 4.37 feet out in the street.
In front of the third and fourth lots
west of Woodward avenue the fence
is 11.25 feet in the street. In front OF
the first two lots east of Madison ave-
nue. the fence tapers from 1105 feet
to IL SO feet, and in front of the sixth,
fifth and fourth lots east of Vermont
avenue the property owners nave ap-
propriated from 14.59 to lis feet of the
street. The first two lots east of YER
mont avenue have taken from to IL
feet.
Numerous stakes exist along the cor
rect line of the street, showing clearly
that fences are on public property.
Similar conditions have been found
on woodward avenue, between Mel
rose and Santa Monica boulevard. The
records show that the city has title to
a sixty-foot street. and not only fences,
bat one building, encroach on the
street lines.
On the west side of Woodward ave-
nue., from State street north, fence
is 1928 feet out in the street. On the
east side from Burns avenue to LOCK
wood avenue a fence is three feet out
in the street. On the east side OF
woodward avenue, ia feet south OF
Santa Monica boulevard, a shed is 40
foot over the street line. The street
department has been ordered to re-
move these distractions, and plans
will be prepared for the improvement
of the street.

with any such suicidal folly. The snow spot

They might indeed, with the vast leap

launches, have sprung clear over the line of
defense, and gained in two seconds the help

that would mean. The herd would turn in
upon them in blind, uncalculating fury and
trample them under foot. For the moment,
therefore, they hung wavering in irresolu-

the pack.
