Dunn Steer viii
Furnish Excitement

The famous Dunn steer was cap
tured Thursday and is now paving
up the earth and testing his horns
on the bars of heavily constructed
cage, awaiting his advent into the
roundup arena during the celebration
week. He has been spending several
years at leisure on the rugged slopes
of Grizzly peak and was captured by
Ray Murphy and Doc Helman Thurs
day after they had salted a rock near
the place where the big longhorn was
known to have his headquarters, and
where they succeeded in roping and
hog-tieing him, after which he was
brought TO the roundup grounds in
an auto truck. He is a monster of a
brute and the cowboys are prophesy-
ing that some blood is liable to be
shed when he is turned loose. He
was brought from Mexico about three
years ago, as the property of the
Murphy ranch, and was afterward
sold to George Dunn, who kept him
on his ranch for while and then
turned him loose on the slopes of
Grizzly mountain. The big trouble
maker is of the longhorn variety and
is of unusual size and ranginess. His
wicked eye-piercing horns and aggres-
sive manners combine to give all who
have seen him a thankfulness that
they are on the other side of the
fence from the vicious animal. A
strap will be placed about his neck
and a prize Of $40 will be given to
the person VINO has the power to re-
move it and present it to the judges.
This will be feature of the roundup
each day, and if you think he is just
an ordinary oat hound, one glance at
his wicked features as he PAGES anx-
iously about in his cage, believing
forth his wrath, will remove all
doubts of the excitement which his
in the arena will create.

Wyland ExOnerated
For Sad Accident

Lane Wyland, who shot and killed
David Elmer Cottrell last Wednesday
in the Meadows district, was com
pletely eXonerated by the coroner's
jury at the inquest conducted into
Mr. Cottrell's death Friday forenoon.
The jury held that Wyland thought
that ne was shooting at a deer and
thus unintenlionally and by accident
caused the death of Cottrell."
The testimony showed that Cot
trell, who had just killed a deer, was
bending over its body, skinning the
hide off, when Wyland, further up
steep mountain side, saw Cottrells
movements in the brush, and, mistak-
ing him for deer, fired the fatal
shot
Wyland Grief-Stricken.
Mr. Wyland, who is grief-stricken
over the affair, broke down several
times while he was testifying. He
and Cottrell were neighbors and had
been like two brothers for several
years, during which time they had
never had quarrel or trouble of any
kind They are both in the cattle
business. and were on their way to
the range to tend to their cattle when
the accident occurred.
Shoots Friend For Deer.
The two men in company with a
neighbor, set out early Wednesday
morning separately. each with a rifle
and sack of salt. The men took
their guns simply to shoot any wild
predatory animals which they might
run across. Neither one of the men
saw each other from the time they
b set out until after the accident had
occurred About two hours after they
had set out Wyland heard two shots
which were fired about a quarter of
a mile away He hurried toward the
spot and later he discerned the thick
brush down the mountain side NOV
ing, and thinking 1t was a deer he
fired, Running to the place, he saw
he had shot Cottrell, who had shot
deer and was skinning 1t at the time
Of Wyland's shot. The bullet had
passed through his neck and he was
dying when Wyland reached him.
Wyland shouted for Hockersmith,
who went out for aid, but Cottrell
died soon after.

NEED OF BATH
HOUSE FOR CITY
Is EMPHASIZED
Playground Supervisor Points
to Importance of Better
Facilities

Need of a municipal bathhouse to
accommodate several thousands was
emphasized to-day by Earl C. Ford,
of Louisville, recently appointed
playground supervisor for the city.
Praising Harrisburg's complete
system OF Fairgrounds and the sys-
tematic organization of the scheme,
Mr.. Ford said that the only thing
which is lacking to make the city
leader in this field of recreational
activities is large bathhouse and
bathing beach.
There is probably no other
branch of recreation which everyone,
both old and young, enjoys so much.
even though the city has no bathing
laciiitles provided, special attention
will be paid this summer to this
branch OF the work."
Three Plots Opened
While Mr.. Ford has only been IN
the city short time he has mado
a careful study of the playground
Facilities and three of the plots have
already been opened. These are at
Twelfth street, with Miss Mary Brax-
ton In charge; Reservoir, Miss Eve
lyn Joyce In charge. and Sycamore,
Others will be opened as the demand
increases. Announcement of ap-
pointments of other instructors will
be made in the next few days.
Park Commissioner e. z. Gross
and Assistant v. Grant Forrer will
probably take up the question of pro-
viding additional bathing facilities
this year. 1t is believed that tents
may be placed, along the river wall
II this plan can be worked out, since
Council refused to grant the $4,000
appropriation for a suitable bath
house.
