OLDEST cow PuNcHER
IN CAP IVTY HONOR
GUEST At REUNION
MATT CROSBY. OF ocATE, 81
YEARS OF AGE, WILL RIDE AT
HEAD OF BIG PARADE

East Las Vegas, N. NJ, June 26.-
Ninety-one years old and still a COW
puncher. That is the distinction
which entities Matt Crosby, a resi-
dent of Oeate, to be a guest OF honor
at the Fourth Annual Coyboys' Re
union, which will be held here July
3, 4 and 5. The officers and direc.
tors of the reunion association have
sent him an invitation to be the
cowboys guest during the big round
up. 1t is believed Crosby will accept
and will ride at the head of the big
parade on Independence day and
take part in the doings at Cowboys
park.
New Mexicans who call themselves
pioneers, coming to the territory in
the late seventies, found Crosby.
How long he had been here nobody
knows, but he was an old timer
then. He was known from the Rio
Grande to the Picketwire and from
the Arizona line clear through to
Leavenworth. The native Spanish
speaking people knew him for an
: amigo" and the Indians, respecting
his ability with a shooting iron and
his willingness TO live at peace If
unmolested, came to look upon him
a man worth having ror a friend.
How we'll he got along with the In
dams is shown by his flowing locks,
much more profuse as ne grows nea
the century mark than those of many
a youth of 81 years.
For many years Uncle Matt lived
in the Springer vicinity. He became
for a breed of horses called
the Ace of Clubs, known all owe the
west. His ranch vas a popular place
with travellers and a neighborhood
gathering place.
When Crosby takes his place in
he Reunion parade he will be mount
ID upon a silver trimmed saddle of
The Kearny period, and 1t is quite
likely that his lariat will be topped
ibout his horses neck in the fashion
hat was the style among cowpunch-
srs in the days when Buffalo Bill
was a little boy. He will be astride
! real steed and not a gentle horse
or he scorns so tame a means of To-
,omotlon. A flivver, even. with all
is jo1ts, is too IadyliRe for Crosby,
md when he's feeling tired and all
uckered out, he often breaks a colt
" two to quiet his nerves.

The attack was preceded by a

German prisoners taken pay tribute
to the brilliant dash of the Ameri-
cans, declaring the men in the as

The Germans were virtually clear

days ago but the discovery was made
yesterday that under cove Of dark
ness they had planted machine guns.
The Americans now are in posses
sion of virtually all the valuable tao
teal positions in the Belleau Wood
sector. Most of the prisoners taken
belong to the 947th German division.
The Germans attempted on Saturday
to fill the wood with gas, but the
determination and heroism Of the
Americans could not be checked by
this circumstance.
