SELLING ARIZONA HORSES; A
 NEW GET-R|CK-QU|CK SCHEME

A brand new "get-rich-quick" scheme has come to light in Omhaa, where J. s. Smith and two companions have been arrested by federal authorities on charge of conspiracy to defraud says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The men are under bonds while the district attorney is searching the code to find law to fit the case.l The scheme is particularly unique and Is said to have netted thousands of dollars.
 Briefly, the victims are persuaded to purchase range horses, subject to range delivery is, the buyer must catch his own horses. This is not an unusual method of purchasing Western horses and creates no sus- picion upon the part of the victim.
 The horses are represented as being on a range in Arizona and the price quoted is ridiculously low. The vic tim is given a bill of sale calling for horses from three to six years old, giv- ing a general outline of the section of the country where they are to be caught. In all cases so far this is Co- conino county, Arizona.
 The horses are there, as described in the bill of sale, and the purchaser Is at liberty to catch his horses, place them on the cars and get them to mar ket. But so far the government agents nave not found man who has been able to catch a horse. Coconino coun- ty is as big as the all outdoors, and the horses are a shade wilder than the pro- verbal buck"
 They are the wild horses of tn. western plains. They are the de scendants of those which escaped from the Spanish conquerors and for nearly 400 years have not known master.
 In early days the Navajo and other Southwestern Indians had ways of running down the young colts and! raising them to maturity. But it al ways has been impossible to catch the horses, once they have grown old enough to have full strength and speed development With hundreds of miles of wild country over which these vile horses can run, the purchaser stands little chance of catching them. In they have disposition akin to hyena.
 Smith and his associates assert they own a bunch of these horses and that their brand will be found on them if any one cares to investigate. So far, no one has been able to disprove their claims. The brands may be there, but inasmuch as none of the buyers have got within miles and miles of a band

of these horses, they cannot deny the declaration.
 Three others are named in the com- plaint, but have not been arrested A. O. Perry, of Atkinson, Neb., is accused of being implicated. But the govern ment agents are at sea deciding under what statute they shall prosecute.
 One of the victims told this story to the United States district attorney:
 q contracted for eighty head and was to go to Arizona and catch them on the range. Smith told me they were wild and that it would be no easy job, but I know lot about all horses. I've cut out range horses hun dreds and thousands of times, and l didn't believe there was horse on the prairies that I couldn't get.
 Armed with my bill of sale, I went down to Flagstaff, Arizona, and pre- pared to pick up my horses. I was to have eighty between the ages of three and eight years, and could take my pick of any of those belonging to Smith.
 T noticed the gang of loafers at the livery stable in Flagstaff smied when hired an outfit. There was camp wagon an dhalf dozen men. thought it would take me about three days to get the best of the horses on the range, so. I engagedthe outfit for that length of time.
 We wer con the range for more days than I care to admit We saw Wild horses, and they certainly were wild. In fact, they were but clouds of dust.
 T worked around the country with the crew eating their heads off and finally it dawned on me there was something wrong.
 Those horses were so wild fellow would have had to hire a brigade of cavalry to surround them. When I be- came convinced of that we went back to Flagstaff. As our outfit entered the town we met another one going out to catch bunch of range bought, explained the sucker I let him go. 1 saw him a week later. He didn't have any horses. He saw the dust, just like did.
 Those animals lave been sold a dozen of times. We suckers all had the same experience. There are many horses there, all right, don't know whether or not they belong to Smith. In fact, they are so wild they belong to any one who gets them.
 q played the game, fell sucker and lost. But the next man that sells me horses in Arizona will have to catch the animal himself. Grand Rapid, (Mich) News.

wedding dress, 1 suggest the model l have used in my first illustration which expresses both dignity and grace, qualities which should be 1n- herent in this gown of gowns. White taffeta is the material used, with hand some silk-run lace for the vestee and rolling collar. The round-length skirt has a charmingly modest and graceful hustle drapery, especially becoming tt the youthful bride. Moire, charmeuse. satin meteor, and crepe-de-Chine are charming materials for such dress. For the veil, white tulle is especially pretty, draped from a coronet of or ange blossoms, as illustrated.
 For the bridesmaids gown there is no prettier fabric than dainty-tinted organdy plain or figured. The charm ing model I have chosen for my sec ond illustration is of pale yellow or gandy, with triple ruffles of fine-mesh- ed net bound with bias strips of or gandy. The becoming hat worn with this dress is a dream of old-time leg horn loveliness in an adorable flat shape, trimmed with the most exqul' sitely dainty flowers. Marrow black velvet ribbon streamers of "the once upon a time" are caught at one side, with one end forming bridle.
 For her rousseau, many materials and types of wraps and gowns are sul- table.
 One of the new materials which is most popular for summer wear is the lovely golfine, which comes in all sorts of beautiful colors and several qualities. It has all the smartness of corduroy without the weight, and for sports clothes is much better than the easily-mussed fabrics of former oc- casions.
 A stunning suit for motoring or sports is made of the lightweight golfine, with a straight skirt that has Just d ouop1SNOA OL OAoPC AAO- hip line to the waist and quite mar vicious jumper. that bowers between coat and a sweater.

 The second Sunday in May has now become national day, and is oD- served over the entire United States. AS whole, Yuma's churches had very pleasant and recognizable Mothers Day services. Among the most nota- ble was the service conducted by Rev. Boyd of the Baptist church Sunday afternoon at the soldiers camp.

Yuma has been treated to the musi- cal presence of the 'Leetle German Band" which arrived here last night from Portland, Oregon. They will re- main here two days and will then con- tinue their journey further east.
 Some of them of really veterans at the trade, and as a whole, their music this morning was excellent. Second street was made the headquarters of their campaign, and the lively strains of ''Oh, You Beautiful Doll,' etc., set some of Yuma's old pioneers tripping around at a lively pace.
