BRONCO BUSTING ON
 STAGE 0F COLISEUM

Dell Blancett an original rough rider who carries his rough riding horses with him continually as d great attraction. will give an exhibition of that sort of horseback riding begin ming tonight at the Coliseum. The horses vii be taken on the stage and there mounted and put through the hurricane deck paces in full view of the audience which perforce from the very situation must look up at the bucking horses.
 In order that no sense of danger will be experienced by the audience the stage will be roped off securely. Then should the horse run against the rope he will be prevented from falling either on the orchestra of the audience. and should the fearless rid CT be thrown. the roping off will also keep him from being pre- ipitatel head formost among the sightseers.
 Blancett came here to put on a Wild West Or rodeo for the Aztec Sun fete, but was unab ble to make 9 contract with the committee. Blan cett is well known in the amusement world. He has been a movie actor for a number of years in the Bison and Universal companies
 The program for the Coliseum for the week includes three other head liner acts well up to the standard that has been acquired by Monager Reeves and his Coliseum crowd.

FIND LOPEZ RIFLE.

BINGHAM. Utah, Feb. 9.-Tdentifi cation of a rifle found beneath treste near the Utah-Apex mine as the weap on of Ralph Lopez took into the mine on the night of November 26. convinced the local authorities that the bandit escaped from the mine soon after he killed J. Douglas Hulsey and Tom Man derich and virtually removed all doubt that Lopez succeeded in evading the officers
 The rifle was found month ago by J. Hndbaugh brakemen of the Bing- ham and Garfield railroad. with a re- volver and holster and a belt filled with cartridges. He took the rifle to Salt Lake City without reporting it.
 Returning yesterday he informed the officers of the matter and the weapon was identified by private marks by Mike Stefano who gave it to Lopez. The ownership of the holster and cartridge belt has not been disclosed.

NOTHING ABOUT
 THE AUTO SHOW
But a Little About Barney Schreiber, Art Rick s Friend and the Homeliest Human Being in the Wide Wide World

Art Rick. promoter of the auto show arrived, hooked his cane over a chair and sat down in it. crossed his legs and told a funny story.
 Barney Schreiber, millionaire race track man, was possibly the ugliest male human being who ever lived. He was so ugly that horses ran away when he came down the street, babies had fits as lie approached, women tainted at the mere sight of his good humored but ugly mug Barney had a brother, who was if anything one shade more pulchritudinous than Bar neN.
 One day Bill Schreiber went into a strange bar Cliff me a trink.' he said. Say! The barkeep just looked at him. Give you a drink in a mnute,' he said But I hopes youse pardOns me if l says that really on in the world
 Bill didn't take offense He re- membered that Barney was the most punctual man as well as the least handsome on this good green foot stool; and that Barney had date with Bill at that saloon at three o'clock. It was four minutes to 1 three Tell you what 1 do I bet you twenty tollar a uglier mans as me gomes in det door in four minutes

 "Oh anything" answered the form CT chart maker. Any little thing 1T the world.

Indians Expect to Make a Showing
 on February 21

This first open date of the Coyotes, Feb T. will be celebrated by 4 game of baseball between the eligi- bles Of the Indian school and the Coyotes, according to the report made public yesterday Beside the game there will be another two-mile clay race between the members of the high school and the Indians. All this in the event Coach Venne of the Indians can arrange a team of eligi- bles in time for the contest.
 The Braves are especially anxious to pull off another of those tWo- milers We have good material in our fellows said Venne yesterday, and with little practice we can beat the Coyotes or l am mistaken. They have a classy little organiza- tion and they are fast. but l think we have the goods on them little at that
 The trouble of arranging the Coyo- te- Braves baseball contest comes in the eligibility of players rule. The Indians have in the past been in the habit of playing professionals and st mi-pros, and the newly adopted constitution of the Valley High School League forbids members of the league playing against other schools with pros in their line-ups.
 However Coach Venne has no Goubt at the present time that he will land some several classy little ballplayers in his nOn-pro ranks and that he will be able to put team in the field which will clean up on the Coyotes.

ORGANIZING BALL
CLUB FOR SEASON
Municipal Park Might Be
Used by the Baseball
Boys This Season.

The fans and baseball players
are making a hard attempt to
organize a club for the coming
season. Other towns with whom
0pelousas is in the custom Of en-
gaging games, have already
teams representing them on the
diamond. It will be decided
during the next few days Wheth-
err or not Opelousas will have a
ball club this year.
A board of directors composed
of Felix Chachere, J. J. Naf,
Lorenzo Mornhinveg. B. Bennett
and William T. Stewart. was
elected on last Friday evening.
The board held a meeting ON
Saturday morning and appointed
Mayor Edward Z. Loeb as man
ager. Mr.. Loeb managed the
team very successfully last sea-
son, and it was largely through
his untiring efforts that Opelou-
sas succeeded in placing a strong
representative on the baseball
diamond. He is busy now shap-
ing up things for the start.

Southwestern Reflections

Planting time lends emphasis
to the duty of preparation.
When one goes prepared for any
duty he can accomplish most. A
wise old farmer observed that
the most valuable cultivation is
that which the land gets before
the seeds are planted.
A well known proverb express
es the same idea in the old saw:
A good beginning IS half the
battle. And it is true.
Therefore start out by prepar-
ing your land thoroughly. PloW
deeply and often, disc it well,
put on all the barn manure you
can get and pillow it under, and
cotton seed meal, If necessary,
to stimulate plant growth, and
acid phosphate to produce fruit.
Then you may think about
planting. Drainage, more
thorough preparation of the soil
before planting, more intelligent
use of fertilizer, better crop ro-
tation, and more and better live
stock, constitute the crying
needs of our agriculture today.
Are you in these things? Il
you are not, and if you do not
prepare to get in, then sell off
your farm and find something
that you are willing to do in the
right way.
Don't forget to plant lespedeza
among your oats. You need it
to restore the nitrogen which the
oats draw from the soil, and
furthermore, the crop of hay or
seed produce, unless your land is
hige-priced. viii equal it in value.
Put in enough pumpkin yam
seed to make slips sufficient to
plant at least one acre for the
early market.
And do it now. Fall in line
with the farmers who are doing
things; don't block the way.

of the fans have already signi-
fed their intention to donate
money for the cause and IL moth
ing i~nterferes, or If the fans and
playsers do not lose their enthu-
siasm this city will be well rep
resented in the sporting world.
The council will be asked to
allow the players the use of the
tract of ground, ABIDING the
public cemetery, which was or
.iginally planed for a park, for
the ball park. It will require a
few dollars to have the place
fenced in and leveled, but it is
understood by the advertisement
which will be used, by large
firms, in the park will add a
great deal to defraying these
expenses, whilst the club will
set aside a certain percentage of
the profits to pay for the fence
and leveling of the ground.
That this is the best plan pos
sible and one which will save the
club money each year and assure
Opelousas a club every season is
undeniable. It is understood
that the mayor and the board of
aldermen are inclined to do this
for the ball club.
Last year 0pelousas had a very
good team and from present in
dications there il no reason to
believe that it will not be as well
represented. This city can
boast of some of the best anna
teur players in the state and
from these a ball club could GER
tainly be organized, with the
possible aid of one or two out-of-
town players.
The time to act on this propo-
sition is at hand and the mer-
chants, business men and other
fans should come to the aid of
the ball club, as all will enjoy
good games when the season
is on.
