HORSETHIEvES CAP.
TURED; HORSES
RECOVERED

Sheriff Cal Downing has earned
the title of daring officer, and de
serves to wear q halo for his prompt
pursuit and capture of quartet
of hOrsethieves and 80 head of
horses belonging to f. G. Henkins
of Lamar, the men and horses be-
ing brought from near Delhart,
Tex, last Thursday by the doughty
sheriff, Henkins and j. w. Tanner,
after a trail reaching from KentOn,
Okla, to Delhart, Texas.
The horses were seen on the CT
marion last Friday by Jim Dodge,
a PrOwers county stockman, who
recognized the Henkins brand and
suspected that something was
wrong. He tried to send word to
Lamar by telephone, but was I'M
able to get connections with that
city, and finally rode through from
Oklahoma, reaching Lamar last
Thursday.
According to the report of Dodge,
the bunch of horses was being driv-
en- eastward by four men. AS soon
as the news was received, Sheriff
Downing started south with Hen
kins and Tanner to take up the
trail of the rustlers with the above
result.
The stolen horses had been run
ming the range in the vicinity of
the Henkins ranch on Mud creek.
The bold theft of so many animals
has aroused the stockmen and
farmers of the county, and no ef-
forts will be spared to arrest and
punish the men who are engaged
in this reprehensive business.
The identity of the culprits was
disclosed when the elder of the
quartet admitted that his name
was Bridges and that two Of the
men were his seffs, but the others
identity is still wrapped in mys-
terry.

PAYERS MAY KNOW

We congratulate The HOl-
ly Chieftain on ITS good ap-
pearance in it's new dress. A
new linotype recently in
stalled in the shop did it.
Two Buttes Sentinel.
Thanks awfully. We could not
have had the linotype and other
modern equipment without the
assistance of the good people of
Prowers county and vicinity, who,
perceiving the alright, iron-clad
6O4O newspaper combine at Lamar,
determined to support a newspa-
per that was not afraid to call
spade a spade andT sent us their
printing orders.
There is vast difference between
a newspaper and publication,
there being a number of the latter
at the county-seat mot one of
which dares to print the actual
happenings of that burg.
At an early date a special CORE
spondent of The Holly Chieftain
will cover the Lamar field, that the
taxpayers of PrOwers county may
have actual representation at the
cOunty-seat.
In the meantime we desire to
thank the many friends who have
made our success possible, and to
assure them that they will always
get a square deal thru The Chief
tain columns

thought of nothing but that honey.
With a grunt he began to climb that
big hemlock tree.

that it was to rob Busy Bee of her
honey that he wanted me to find hol

come. Did you know it when you told
me that Buster Bear wanted to see

NO" replied Sammy quite truth
fully. II didn't have the least idea
what he was after. Listen
The hummfng of the angry bees had
grown louder. Buster was half way
cloud of them around his head. 1t was
very clear that they didn't intend to
be robbed without fighting for their
own. Into the humming broke a sharp
whine. Buster had stopped and was
hanging on with one hand while with
the other he was slapping at the bees
and brushing them away from his face.
He must want that honey more
than I ever wanted anything" ex-
claimed Sammy Jay as Buster began
to climb again.
BY this time there was a tremendous
racket going on in The big hemlock
tree. The bees We're humming until
the sound was almos, a roar. Buster
Bear was whining and growing and
snarling. Eut he kept on climbing,
stopping now and then to slap at the
angry bees and to brush an arm across
his face. And those bees were busy.
Yes. stree. they were busy! They were
doing lot more than hum. They
were using those sharp little lances
in their tails and every one they thrust
into Buster Bear was like a redhot
needle.
What is that fellow made Off" NUT
tered Sammy Jay.
At last Buster reached the dead place
in the trunk of the tree. Near the top
of it was a little hole. and out of it
still more bees were pouring. Buster
saw it. He climbed a little higher
and worked around on the back side
Of the tree where the bees were not so
thick. Then he reached around and
in that little hole and pulled with all
his might There was a ripping sound.
and a long strip of dead wood pulled
away and Sammy and Drummer could
see something yellow and glistening
inside the hollow. Once more Buster
reached around and hooked his claws
over the edge of the opening he had
made. When he pulled this time a
big piece of wood gave way. leaving
plenty of room for Buster to put his
big hand inside.
In it went and out it came with a
great mass of honeycomb dripping
with honey. "Um-m-m," said Buster
as he scooped 1t into his mouth
'..Um- m-m-m." He hftched around where
he could see what he was doing, and
then he paid no more attention to
those bees than If they had been so
many flies. AS fast as he could SCOOP
II out he crowded the honeycomb into
his greedy mouth, all the time maxi
ing sounds which told Sammy Jay and
Drummer the Woodpecker palmer than
words could have that he was perfectly
happy.
