Forestry Defeats Sou ris Again.

For the second time this
season the Forestry five de-
feated Souris in a game OF
basketball by the narrow mar
gin of four points, in a rough
and fast game.
The first half looked like an
easy victory for the home team
but in the second half Souris
took brace and made things
rather unpleasant. The first
half however, ended 22 to 13 in
favor of the School of Forestry.
At no stage of the game did
Souris show signs of winn in g
as the home boys held safe
lead throughout the entire
game.

The OFFICIAL VOTE


The county, commissioners
met at the court house Monday
to canvass the vote cast at the
general election. The official
canvass made few changes.
Gov. Burke's plurality over c..
A. Johnson was increased to
151 and ]. l.. Gorder made a
gain Of I for representative,
placing him ahead of H. c..
Harty. But this change will
not affect the result, as both
were more that SO votes ahead
of James Wbitmore.
The official canvass shows
that increased Jurisdiction of
the county court has been
abolished.

By Emily Brown Heininger.

The following article taken
from the Houston Chronicle,
written by Mrs. E. B. Heineger,
recently of Winslow, but now
at Topeka Kans., of the J. w.
Marley roundup in the vicinity
of Winslow last month.
Oh, no, Mr.. Tenderfoot, you
can not get any idea whatsoever
OF the gist of a round up, the
climax OF life a la Western, by
pictures, reading, or even by oc-
cupying front seats in the or
chestra row at a performance of
a play by that name.
You have to be there in person
in the spotlight with a constitu
ton that knows not the mean
ing of the word fatigue, and
astride a horse that can dart in
and out of the herd and single
out a steer with the right brand
like a maneuvering mamma de-
tecting the highest priced young
eligible at a summer resort.
This time of the year i'll Arizo-
ma means a bio business for the
COW girls and bows They may
be seen any hour of the night or
day, galloping up and down the
roads on their way to the scene
of action.
]. w. Marley is the J. Gould OF
Navajo and Apache counties,
Arizona, and a former son of
Texas, and he ended the season
with a flourish.
To be invited to this function
is, in this section of the country,
to be regarded with equal favor
as an invitation to Vanderbilt
pink tea is looked upon by the
Younger set of New York's So
cial aspirants.
And if Melba herself handed
you in person a slip OF paper en-
titling you to give a free box
party at an opening performance
of Faust" you could not feel
your gratitude or Importance
any more than when the Hon. !
w. Marley puts at your disposal
one of his trusty COW steeds,
saddle, bride, spurs and all, and
bids YOU ride into the midst Of
the fray.
Before the sun is we'll upon his
days journey the cowboys have
collected the cattle from far and
near into one big herd and by
the time the later arrivals are on
the scene the air is filled with
the lowing of COWS and steers
and the believing of calves,
stamping of hoofs and plenty of
dust, till it sounds like the tun-
ing of instruments for a John
Philip Souza band concert,
The aforesaid ]. W. is the
father OF thirteen children as we'll
as the owner of about 5000
head of cattle, and the word
pride is split all over his face as
lie rides around the herd and
says. "Begad, monarch of all |
survey"
These sturdy offsprings are
not merely ornamental by any
means. From the three year
old Happy" to "Heck," they
are right there i'll the saddle,
girls, boys, and all, and they
can handle the branding irons
like set of young Rockefellers
Juggling tennis balls and rae
quets.
Cow-girls and boys without
nicknames are of about as little
consequence as an Englishman
without a title, and half they
are only recognized by their NOM
de-plumes, their Christian names
soon becoming obsolete.
COW PUNCHING UP TO DATE.
