very creditable record. In So games,

not because OF any trouble between

YELLOWSTONE HOLD-UP

Every year tourists in the Yellow
stone park get up against thriller in
the way of holdup that is not an
essential part of the porter's regular
plan, or operated by other concessions
that are numerous in the national
wonderland. 1t is usually bona fide
holdup, without movie accessories or
money back.
The first of the series was pulled
off this week, according to advices
that were received here the end Of
last week.
Two masked men held up several
stage coaches as rapidly as they came
along. 1t appears that after the
coaches left Upper Geyser basin at
9 O'Clock Saturday morning they were
stopped at secluded point on the
road, the passengers were compelled
to alight, and while one man covered
the crowd with his gun, the other re-
lieved the tourists of their valuables

The eapybara looks like clumsy
little guinea pig, but he swims like
fish and he's as much at, home in the
water as any of the .finny tribe. Some
of his aquatic tricks are high diving
and long Swims under water.
The capybara is found in the rivers
of South America, and if he'd just
keep in the rivers he'd be all right,
but quite often he wanders out and
raids the sugar cane fields and does a
great deal of damage to the sugar
crop. AS he feeds only on vegetable
matter he keeps the banks of the
South American rivers free of vege-
tation and the beds of the streams
where the capybara lives is never
choked with moss or weeds.
