legal argument to show that decisions
of various courts had not held the
United Mine Workers of America to be
an unlawful organization"
The brief also attacked figures sub.

details of operation and characterized
as utterly unreliable" the statements
by counsel for the operators.
The brief filed is expected to close

His demeanor is quiet He shuns the
exuberance in verbiage and gesticu-
lation to which Latin-Americans are
prone. He is courteous. but a man
of few words and little given to elabo-
rate compliments.
Besides, he is neat and well
groomed in appearance. His features
Indicate pure European descent, with
out any admixture of Indian blood.
Altogether he Is a man who con-
veys an impression OF reserve power.
He ia a good man of business.
His probity has never been ques-
toned. He has been sagacious and
successful in investments and. while
not rich, Is n man Of independent
means. He is 9 man OF family.

western celebrations. prizes have been
offered for the worst horse" but at
the coming cowboy carnival at Chey-
enne there will be conducted the first
out.ard-out contest exclusively for
bad horses. In this the determination
of relative degrees of equine cussed-
ness will not be a side issue in

issue-in-chief of contest designated
to identify the worst horse in the
world and for no other end.
Only in the West does value at
tach to a bad horse. elsewhere such
an animal is worse than valueless.
But in the West-the land Of the
broncho and those dauntless riders
who subjugate the outlaw strain IN
the broncho's temperament - the
worse horses disposition the higher
his value.
Bad buckers here attain fame that
spreads through many states and

of miles to try conclusions with such
horses as Stemler Bay. Old Steam

their animals and provide riders for
them. The cowboys doing the riding
will be required to observe the same
rules as govern the championship

but of the strength, cunning and
wickedness of the horses. Inasmuch
as it is expected that the worst horse
in every state in which the broncho
thrives will be entered it well may be
said that the result OF the contest will
be Identification of the worst horse in
the world.
