CATCH MUSTANGS
FOR THE MARKET

The Lovelock Tribune says the
first of last week Albert Marker
and brother, Orville, brought to
Lovelock a bunch of forty wild
mustangs captured in the county
adjacent to Black canyon. The
horses for the most part were I'M
branded, although few belonging
to P. N. Marker. They will be
shipped to the coast and sold.
The Marker brothers contem-
plate going into the wild horse
capturing business on quite an
extensive scale this summer.
Both are expert riders and have
met with considerable success so
far in capturing the unbranded
horses that run wild.
One method they employ in
capturing the animals is to select
some trail. or favorite haunt of
the horses, and there build a
correl that is concealed from view.
One rider then goes out and heads
bunch Of horses along the trail
while the other, mounted on a
fresh horse, is hidden at a point
near the corral entrance MS the
animals pass the point where The
second rider is stationed he gets
in behind them with a yell and the
surprised and frightened animals
rush into the enclosure unawares.
The rider closes in quickly and
;fsttns tic este CT tltm.
Another method is to build a
carefully concealed carral about
some spring to which the horses
usually come to drink. The corral
is'built in two compartments, one
enclosing the spring, while TIE
other is built back some distance
and connected by gates with the
former.
AS the horses come up 10 the
spring to drink a man hidden near
the entrance to the first corral
closes the gate on them by means
Of long rope that is attached to
the gate. The ANIMALS are then
driven in the second enclosure and
the gate shut. TIE first corral.
for the trap, is again made ready
to receive another band, and thus
the process is continued until The
corral is full. This method cannot
be operated with much success this
time of the year owing to the fact
that there are numerous drinking
places and the horses will evade
one where trap is set. Later in
the summer, however, when most
Of the springs dry up and there is
left but few drinking places, some
times but a solitary spring in
many square miles of des ert
territory, the pangs of thirst ever.
comes the fears of capture, and
this method is worked in success

These wild horses are usually
quite small ard do not command
high price when placed on sale.
Capturing numbers of them, how
ever, makes the work profitable.

ESiduetfe.

The very high sounding word eti-
Quette had very humble origin. for
etiquette meant simply a label. 1t de-
rived its present meaning from the
fact that Scotch gardener who had
laid out the grounds at Versailles for
Louis XIV. was much annoyed at the
courtiers walking over his newly made
paths and at length had labels placed
to indicate where they might walk.
At first these labels were ignored. but
hint from high quarters that in fu-
ture the walks Of the courtiers must
be within the "etquettes" or labels
was promptly attended to. To keep
within the ''et;quettes" came to mean
to do the correct thing.

Ruse That Won a Satisfactory Pose

For tho Camera.
The repairs on the house were com
pleted and the shavings swept out; also
a new coat OF paint added dressiness
to the outside. What next but a pho

Ing considered. the question Of mo-
ment was how to pose Katusha.
Rolled into a ball every cat looks
like every other cat: hence 1t was Ka-
tusha in action that must grace the
foreground. Being abominably cod
died and fat, action was the last thing
that appealed to Katusha. Coaxing
and likewise prodding made no effect.
She had been known upon occasions
to be stirred by a morsel Of delectable
food. But fancy an aristocratic feline
pictured in the attitude Of tearing at a
chicken bone! Impossible for Katu-
sha.
There arose an emergency and with
It the mistress. who disappeared into
the house and brought forth branch
of Japanese paper cherry blossoms. A
wave of them before Katusha's eyes
was like making some hypnotic pass.
She got up, stretched her body, while
her nose just reached the pinkish flow
ers. That was 1t! They appealed to
her aestheticism.
Snap went the camera. It was per-
feet.
How began the man Of the
house.
