Hunted for Years

For years the sorrel has been the
object of search on the part Of the
employees Of the Cananea Cattle COM
pany and has been the background for
many stories told Of his prowess. He
has been compared to the hero-horse
of one of Thompson Seaton's animal
stories. His record, if it could be
transcribed to paper, would probably
brand him as a particularly bad out
law among horses; and one who has
caused more havoc among herds than
any other stallion in the state Of So
nora.
For several years he has been seen
at various times in the San Jose
mountains. Usually he led band Of
outlaw horses, seemingly holding alb
solute sway over their goings and
comings. Most Of the animals fellows
have been captured, but up until this
time no punchers had been within
roping distance and upon but few

FAMOUS OUTLAW STALLION
CAPTURED IN MEXICO

No longer will the sorrel stallion
of the Cananea play havoc with law
abiding and gentle animals of his
kind; no longer will the horse herds
Of the Cananea Cattle company be
stampeded and lost for days and days;
no longer will the American cowboy
and Mexican vaquero Of northern So
nora tell romantic stories of this just
ly celebrated horse in the past tense
for he has been captured, says the
Douglas International.
Roland Curry, foreman of the Cam
anea Cattle company, accompanied by
his Mexican cowboys, captured the
handsome sorrel a day or two ago in
the foothills Of the San Jose noun
tains. The animal is now in the cor
rails at the San Pedro ranch.

MEAGER ELECTION RETURNS

There is pretty much Disguised
set Of people all over the country be-
cause of their inability to secure cleo
ton returns promptly and know i'm
mediately what the result of the cleo
ton was. There was nothing definite
up to yesterday afternoon late either
in the state or the nation. kilograms
gave only meager information and re-
iterated what had already been told.
The latest indeinate returns said
that California had probably gone
wet.
Arizona death penalty is apparently
abolished, with indications that the
prohibition amendment to the consti-
tuition is passed.
There was an apparent switching
around of the east against the west,
the west going more democratic than
usual with the east pretty thoroughly
republican. 1t is about the first ma
tional election, where New York, In
diana and Illinois all went republican,
unless it was a republican landslide
for them.
By claiming all doubtful states one
paper gives the electoral figures as
259 for Hughes and 259 for Wilson
and puts it up to California as the
state to decide it with her thirteen
votes. II this dope is correct it prac-
tically conceeds the election of Mr..
Hughes, for with returns going re-
publican in some of the doubtful
states and North Dakota counted
wrong, their figures can not expect to
win.
New Mexico is claimed for Wilson,
but there is a strong chance of its
getting back into the republican col
umn before all the votes are tabulat-
ed. II would seem that Hubbell for
senator and Bursom for governor had
won.
The general impression is that Tom
Campbell had won for governor of
Arizona by at least 1000 majority
but the entire vote Of the state will
have to be counted and tabulated be-
fore this is conceded by the demo
Gratis.
And, there you are.

Figures In Rebellion


During the several revolutions
which have shocked Sonora in the
past five years, the big sorrel has
figured prominently in several stories.
1t has been said that on one occasion
the corrals Of the San Pedro ranch
were opened by a score of bandits and
all of the mounts driven off. They
passed by the foothills of the San
Jose mountains. At this juncture, ac-
cording to the story, while the sun
was just leaving the western horizon
for visit to the far east, and the
last rays Of the day were fitting on
the western slopes of the mountains,
a phantom sorrel horse, with head and
tail erect, poised himself on a raise
some distance from the driven band
Of horses. Suddenly the horse neighed.
The herd stopped. Then Of a sudden,
the phantom darted into the canyon
and the herd broke and followed him.
Bandits Terrorized
The bandits were so frightened by
the sudden appearance Of the sorrel
that for several minutes they made
no attempt to follow. When they did
the herd and its leader were far into
the hills and the loot gone. Cowboys
of the Cananea Cattle company later
rounded up most of the mounts, but
were unable to catch the leader.
Many another story Of the stations
outlaw career might be told. OF his
lineage nothing can be learned. There
are many guesses, but they sound too
fictitious to repeat. What will be done
with the animal, now that he is cap
tured, can only be conjectured. 1t is
improbable that he can be domestic
ated and it is also doubtful whether
any Of the Clusters" of the big cattle
company will make much of an at
tempt to handle him.
