Fitzpatrick, the automobile racer who
was injured when his 200 horsepower
Ajax racer plunged into the fence at
the Topeka State fair grounds, is en-
tered in the races at the Hutchinson
state fair and will probably be able to
start in spite of the accident. He may
be forced to use another car as the
one that was damaged will probably
not be repaired in time.
Kilpatrick was not seriously injured
and it is thought here that he will
make his appearance as scheduled.

linger and his son had narrow
escape with a new automobile near
here when the machine ran off the
approach to a bridge and rolled over
the embankment. The cover of the
car was up and Mr.. Billinger probably
owes his life to the fact that the top
held firm when the car rolled over.
Mr.. Billinger had bought the car at
HAYS in the morning and had only
learned to operate it that day. He
lost control when the car reached the
end of the bridge and the machine
plunged off the approach. Damage to
the car was slight except for de-
molished top.

DENVER, Colo. April 16.--The
European war promises TO mark the

Even now there are practically no
wild horses such az once roamed

been taken from Colorado, wyom-
ing and other western states. Not
only have British and French buy.
crs invaded this section. but repre-
sentatives OF the Halian government
have combed the country for mounts
During the last few weeks an Ital.
ian buyer purchased several hun
dred horses and so great was his
haste to get them TO his home coun-
try that they were sent by express
from Denver TO the east instead OF
by freight There they were to be
hurried aboard a steamer for Italy.
Several million dollars have been
spent for these horses for war pur-
poses. The greatest demand. of
course. Is for stout. sound horses
capable OF work as cavalry mounts
or for artillery, The entire country
has been gone over two or three
times by buyers for different ccun
tries and stil the demand has not
been filled y
This draining OF the west OF
horses means that In the rehabilita-
ton n better. breed of horse will be
produced. II II this that sounds
the death knell Of the bronco. The
government has been working for
years encouraging the breeding Of
better horses. stations and mares
of standard breeds draft and gen.
eral purposes have been placed
throughout the west. Their progeny
are already influencing the general
trend for development OF the horses
In the sections In which the work
OF the government is)being conferred.
As the demand for horses TO replace
those sold for war service increases.
II will be animals OF better breeds
which will take their places.

could ride. That day has now gone

stripe was Steamboat" which died
only this year. II is claimed that
no man ever rode Steamboat legiti-
mately. The greatest riders OF the
entire west tried and failed. all

When the British government was

year there Ia little evidence that the
British or French are In danger OF
suffering casualties through encoun.

Constant association with man
through the years between the Boer
war and the present, instead OF
roaming over unfenced plains. has
had it's influence on the horse. The
never say die" fighting spirit OF
the old bronco in his struggle against
the touch OF leather and his in
