J, c. Barnett, father of Mrs Sam
Dismukcs of this city, who lives near
San Jon, was bit by a rattlesnake
last Monday evening, and it was
feared for a time that his life was
in danger
Mr.. Barnett was picking up some
maize heads preparatory to feeding
some stock. There were no weeds
or brush near the maize but he
reached down and the snake stuck
his fangs into his hand. He could
hardly shake the reptile loose. He
said he thought his life was doomed
SO he took his pocket knife and cary
ed the snake open. He then buried
his wound in the fresh blood of the
snake. He went to San on where
the wound was treated by a physi-
clan and Mr., Dismukcs drove car
after him bringing him to Tucum-
caricari He is now passed danger
and while it was a close call he is
glad it was no worse.-Tucumcari

far apart and up to the present
date we have never even worked at
the same studio.
When our little family first went
to California, it was Warren Kerri-
gan who taught us all to ride those
splthre Western bronchos, for he
is truly a superb horseman and has
appeared IN many spectacular West
ern dramas featured as a cowboy.
| remember visiting the Universal
studio one Afternoon when a band
OF real cowboys came in from Ari-
zons, lured into moving pictures by
reports of day salaries larger than
their weekly pittanccs. They were
desert sunbaked men, hard and wiry
as the pintos they were riding.
Warren kerrigan stslked out OF
his dressing room in the romantic
cowboy outfit-schaps, big Stetson
sombrero, a bandana handkerchief
around his neck and spurs on his
boots.
I A laugh Of derision went up from
these grizzled Arizona cowpunchers
who had enlisted at the studio.
"Reckin as how that thar fellowll
git his'n," they whispered among
each other as they watched him
mount one OF the most vicious little
unridden horses on the ranch.
"Whoopee" they shouted as they
mounted their own horses to follow
after him, hoping to see him turn a
double somerssult in the air before
he landed on the back of his neck.
But sadly they were disappointed, for
there wasn't one of them who could
ride any better than Jack Kerrigan,
or stick faster to the back Of a
bucking broncho than he.
We had to laugh at the chagrined
faces of the cowboys when they re-
turned, mumbling among themselves,
disappointed because they had an
tieipated watching some horse sport
with tenderfoot!
The other afternoon I received a
letter from one of the lovelorn and
it read: Dear Mary Pickford, you
will be my friend for life if you
answer this one question-Is J.
Warren Kcrrigan married."
Girls, you who have fallen in love
with this handsome hero smiling
across. the silent screen at you-f
have joyful news for you-he is
NOT married.
