ARIZONA SAILOR RIDES BRONCHO AT BAY CITY RODEOI

 ts [. SPRADDLE LEGS OF SAILOR CONQUER PESKY CRITTER

The spraddle legs of the soldier and the spraddled legs of the sailor. the arts of riding the bucking waves of the ocean and tie arts of riding the bucking waves of the -ornriest" crit ter in the world. the knack of hitting the gait in the navy and in the cow ring-all rhee are the possessions of William (BilD Swyers, formerly of Lowell, but now a sailor in Uncle Sam's navy, Bill, or as he was known in this district, ~Si," demonstrated his ability aboard the back of the pesky broncho recently in San Francisco. Thereby he became the boast of his vessel, the hero of rojeO, and teh owner of s1OO, which he did not for merly possess Details of the event reached this city yesterday. when W. H. swyer, father of the sailor, received letter from his son.
 "Si" was reared in this district. He wasn't a range rider or a COW puncher. or a cattle herder. or anything of that brand when he was a kid. He was just a plain, everyday Arizona young ster, full of life, full of pep, full of ginger, and full of everything which goes to make up real AriZonans. But he had a liking for horses, and a per sonal aptitude to riding and he was one of the Lest horsemen in this part of the country when he was mere youngster. Later, he became one Of the few riders of this county who was willing to tackle enything on four legs and who was apt to get away with the job.
 At the last carnival ill Lowell he startled the distirct when he put on one of the cleverest little riding ex- hibitions in the history of the district Before that he had entered several contests and had always come out of them with laurels and honors. Yes, Bo, he was just natural born critter trainer
 Then came the great, grand rOdeo in San Francisco. It was staged by Douglas Fairbanks for the benefit of the war camp recreation fund. Fair banks opened the bill by producing one of the peskiest critters ever taken from the range and horse possessing an international reputation as buck ing devil He announced a prize of S100 for the man in the audience who would ride the animal. A sailor rush. ed from the crowd, valued to the sad dle and the remainder of the story is told in the account of the fiasco, as carried by enc of the San Francisco papers. It follows:
 4 sailor, ''BilP Swyers of Arizona, almost stole the .'row-day-O" from Doug" Fairbanks yesterday at Ew- ing field.
 While Doug" was getting S35,0OO for the War Community fund Swyers was getting S100 for himself.
 It had been announced that any volunteer willing to hit the saddle on the back of Billy Sunday would get S100 if he stuck there
 Swyers stuck for the prescribed minute and collected. This sailor boy could have had Billy Sunday" for merly Coyote" lying down and roll

.EONDONER SEEKS RARE BUTTERFLY
 FOUND IN STATE
Miss Margaret E. Fountaine, Collector of World Re nown, Comes to Arizona to Find Valuable Variety.
lspeciaI to the Reriewl

PHOENIX, March 2.-Arizona is pc, culiar for one exceedingly rare and valuable variety Of butterfly, accord ing 10 Miss Margaret r. FOuntaine. a fellow of the Entomology society of London. and director of a. private museum containing 1O.60O specimens. in that city.
 Miss Fountaine has been away from her home in London since 1912, dur ng whch time she has engaged exclu- sively in searching the world over for butterflies not already in her exten- sive collection.
 ''The special specie I am seeking here can be found in Arizona only.'' said Miss Fountaine. Tt is a great prize for the naturalist l was in formed of its existence in the locality of Yuma by Dr. Comstock. noted zoolOgist of Los Angeles
 The name of the butterfly is the EuchlOe Pima. Miss FOuntaine will re- main in Phoenix for several days. awaiting the turn the weather takes. If there are light rains. followed by sunshine she expects the pupa and larva of the moth to develop into the radiant winged thing of beauty she seeks.
 Since leaving London five years ago Miss FOuntaine gathered 1900 spec;- Gens in India which she shipped to her private collection. and 1900 in the United States which were shipped from New York. On account of the war Miss FOuntaine has been unable tO get home to her native land.
 The distinguished visitor came here from Yuma will remain in Phoenix nix until the weather is favorable to her quest. She may stay in Phoenix until the middale Of the month, if the present dry season continues, she says.

tsined everything in the list of i'll nesses.
 Still the old-timer pondered, shoot ing his word holes one by one painstakingly, and not always break ing down the ground he wanted witf his first or second shots. Still the boy stood, patient, maybe a title thankful for the breaks in the monot ony which the reporters occasional questions made. but not taking 6 chance on disturbing the old-timer's thoughts by drifting into sustained conversation or more than brief re niles Al last the Old-timer finished He had the boy bring him a letter from pile of newspapers in the wash basin, reread the telegram and then proceeded with directions to the boy
 T want you to please drop the let ter in the pOstoffice box alongside the street as you pass. Then, this is the telegram, and he said it would be 55 cents to Los Angeles. That 55 cents I guess, must cover the war tax and all Now we'll get out the 55 cents ? which was done with gritting teeth as pain stabs shot about from the
 
 knee.
 In his hand the old-timer counted over his change, separated a half dol. lar and a dime and put them in the hands of the boy, for the message. and separated another dime and a nickel for the boy. The boy gave the old timer just one keen look. Then he reached the two dimes back into the still extended hand.
 "Aw, I'm glad to do it for nothing.
 What" exclaimed the o:d-timer. "a boy and you don't want money?'
 -L need it alright, mister. and don't refuse 10 take tips from some people. but there's others that don't take 'em from"
 The lad was at inc roor his face sober. his bearing that of the old-time pardner. and his words. You bet I'll ge- the letter in for ycu and the tele- gram to the office on the iumD," rang truer and deeper than heap of the stun the reporter hears handed out as a general thing.
 The messenger boys name was found out at the Western Union office last night They said there that he was a live one. The reporter knew that. The boys name. however. will bear remembering. It is Robert Pet tijohn-
 The reporter was broke in the old timers room, and he is going to con tinue broke for a couple of pay days, but after that the boy will have some thing coming. He earned it. and he needs it or he wouldn't have said so- If the Western Union is raising many boys of the kind, and it is probably raising a heap more of them than 1t or the public knows about. 1t is doing a mighty worth while job.

 Two Schools of Heralory
 There are two schools of heraldry, hundreds of years apart. but each in fallible as a means of deoiphering important information. Pedigree, re latiOnship, and degree were blazoned forth. on the trappings of the old nobility. and to the initiated a proper fy emblazoned knight told his kin ship. his antecedents. his allegiance, and hs very name in single glance.
 Today an old COW lumbers along the dusty road, one of herd of hun dreds of similar COWS. To the lay man it is just COW. but to the olo hand. her history is clear. See that smudge on the animals hip. and the hieroglyphics on her of side. Note the fantastic trimming of her ears. Why, it's as plain as day. and a rust Ter would have a slim chance tO steal that COW and transpor; her through any civilized section of the country.

 Makes Only One Mistake
 In Kansas City Dave Mccoy is the organizations detective. Dave knows every brand in the west The min ute a COW heaves in sight he has her card indexed. He knows who owns her now and where the present owner bOueht her. He is the herald of the west, and is known as one of the most efficient brand readers in the cattle business He has a confrere by the name of Kelly in Fort Worth. who is just about as good McCoy looked over every head of livestock that went through Kansas City last year, and according to his superiors in Fl Paso he made just one error and that was a case where a brand was burned over. and the mistake was excusable.
 Tell By Their Looks.
 Another thing about the present da, western heraldry is the fact that an old cowman can tell by a cow brute's looks just where it came from He will tell yoN that there is all the difference in the world be- tween a bald faced Hereford raised in Texas and the same breed raised out of Texas. The Oklahoma bred COW is shorter and stoCkier. besides many other distinctions, unexplained able to the tenderfOot In some in- stances they even pick out COW. and without seeing the brand or earmsrk tell you who it belongs 10.
 Spot Terrazas Cattle Readily
 A case In point is found in Mexico. Cowmen in Chihuahua can tell at Terrazas COW as far as they can see it. because it is said that the Terrazas cattle are better bred than most Mexican cattle and look better 4 coal black animal without horns k easy. because there is only one man in Mexico who owns such COWS. He never allows an Off color COW or steer in his herd IT one appears it is the first to go to market
 These are just a few of the exam ples of western heraldry. better known as brands and brand reading. The science goes deeper than an un- learned tenderfoOt can fellow it.
