The Final
Grand Roundup.
The Cornmotion
The coming Of the eight COW
boys, with Winchesters. and 9th
erwise armed to the teeth, at a
Il ne when the strain was at the
breaking point, caused an UNDER
current OF excitement and appre-
hension that had never previous
ly perturbed the calm feeling of
the town.
Had the public known what
about probably a half dozen citi-
zens knew, there would have
been less cause CT apprehension,
and probably no excitement at
all.
But the public had nothing but
Q surmise as to what they had
come for, and as near as they
could surmise that coming was
to roundup and get revenge on
certain ones in ths town, with
the possibility that the whole
town might fall q victim to that
revenge.
The first move they made was
to compel Tom O'Neal and a Mr..
Vandyke to give up a horse they
claimed the boys took from the
pasture in the strip Of one of
them.
We never learned what explain
alton the boys made of the mat
ter-appsrently because they
bad none to make. The town
was somewhat stunned by the
dubious nature of the case, as
Tom particularly was presumed
to be as straight as q string
when pulled tight.
The next move of the COW boys
was both stunning and con-
fpandin4. They went to the
barn of III. Yaw, presumed to
be one of our most repu sable cit
izeas, and abstracted therefrom
five horses that Yaw apparently
didn't have quietinR title to.
Yaw had been down in the
strip sometime previous, and
came back With quite a bunch Of
horses - may be a dozen or
more.
After the boys had taken the
five out of the barn, Yaw had
very little to say as to how he got
them, thus leaving the citizens in
q state of bewilderment as to the
actual facts in the case.
All this took place Oh Tuesday.
The work was done in rapid or.
der, and as soon as done five Of
the COW boys started with the
horses on the return to the strip.
Bill Thompson, Ed Maxwell and
Bill Rowan remaining.
An incident in the saloon that
night we believe was directly re-

factor in it.
It was in the neiebborhood Of

Impelled by a desire to show
his recklessness and dare devil

Geraldine Farrar
Adopts War Orphan

Geraldine Farrar, operate and
Goldwyn picture star, has adopted a
son. His name is Petka Stanoyvitch
and he is either eight years old or
eleven-n nobody knows which. Petka
thinks that he is eleven, but he has
been ali alone since his father was
killed and his mother died early in
the war and as he says he is not sure
land there was no one to keep count"
He is a Serbian and when, he was
taken in charge by the Serbian re-
lief committee, he had only few
old rags for clothes, had slept for
months out-of doors without any
blankets and couldn't remember when
he had had a good hot meal. He is
a bright-faced intelligent little chap
with engaging manners and his pic
ture and the stories about him SO
interested Miss Farrar, who has been
q liberal contributor to the relief of
the Serbs, that she asked to be al
lowed to adopt the little boy.
She hasn't even seen him, of course,
as it is long way from the Gold
WIN studio in California at Lazara-
witch, where Petka is being acred for,
but as soon as it is possible Miss
Farrar is going to have the small
boy brought here.

(Prof M. V. O'SHEA)

Frances is three years old, very
pretty and winsome. There are in
the family two older sisters and one
brother, besides the father and mo-
Their and an aunt. All the members
of the family have been much inter
ested in the baby since her birth and
they have given her good deal Of
attention. They are social family
and many friends call upon them and
they go frequently to visit their
friends. Whoever comes to the house
must say something to Frances and
show how much they think of her by
talking much to her, taking her in
their arms, offering to do this or that
for her, and so on. The members of
the family like to have people notice
the child because she is such an at
tractive little thing. But she is caus-
ing some apprehension now because
whenever anyone speaks to her she
says, "No.no," in a petulant voice. If
any question is asked or any advances
made toward her, her one response
will be, "No. no." The parents think
she is developing a bad habit and
should have some training to correct
it.
One way to prevent Frances from
forming an annoying habit and ac-
curing an irritable disposition is for
the members of the family and all
others to leave her alone more than
they now do She is being spoiled by
over-much attention. Her "No, no."

is kind of protection against the
irritating actions Of the people
around her. She should be taken
only very rarely to neighbors and
friends for visits. When friends
come to the house she should be kept
out Of sight for the most part-in her
sand-pile or playing with blocks or
dolls alone. The brothers and sisters
should leave her to her own devices
more than they do. She must grow
from within quietly. It will take
some time for the family to learn
that they should not make a play

not done this purposely, of course;
they think they have been doing the
right thing in showing her off and
making her the center of attraction.

New-York tribune., 1919-04-01
To-day's Chicago Election

The mayoralty election in Chicago to-
day focuses national attention. Of the
six entrants three expect to win, each
with 100000 majority. In the betting
there are no odds on any of those candi-
dates or against either Of the other two.
William Hale Thompson, supported bv
the Lundin machine and running as a
Republican, though dscredited by the
Republican National Committee and
many Republican voters, has been rated,
until recently, as a winner Four years
ago he received a large majority over
Robert M. Sweitzer, who again opposes
him as the Democratic candidate. Then
thompson was presented as rampant
American of the two-fsted, ex-cowbov
type. Sweitzer, of German extraction.
appealed to the large German vote. On
taking Office Thompson openly catered to
this element by snubbing Marshal Joffre
and the French commission on their visit
to the sixth German city" On the is
sue of Americanism neither comes before
the voters with clean hands. Therein
lies the strength Of the independent can
didate, Maclay Hoyne. But Mr.. Hoyne's
candidacy is not an ideal one and pre-
sents practical difficulties. Obviously
most of his votes must be drawn from
the two party men. The Sweitzer men
have raised the cry, "a vote for Hoyne
is vote for Thompson"
In this dilemma it is interesting to
watch the Chicago newspapers, which are
a unit IN opposing Thompson "The Trib-
une" stood with Will Hays in supporting
judge Harry Olson at the Republican
primaries. Defeated there it has shifted
lukewarm support to Maclay Hoyne,
with reasoning as follows:
"Hoyne may not be able to make it
successfully. But at least he can get at
Thompson on his record and Sweitzer
cannot. We do not say that Hoyne is
falr-halrod boy. The City Club probably
views nim with alarm. 'The Tribune
has often Viewed him with alarm. But
with Sweitzer viewed as candidate
headed for defeat, and Thompson man
who ought to be defeated, we back Hovne
as the vest chance of getting rid of
Thompson. A vote for Hoyne is vote
for Hoyae"
The Hearst newspapers in Chicago
have also rallied to the support of Hovne.
But "The Daily News" the leading eve
ming paper, is supporting Sweitzer.
From this distance it looks as if so
many cross currents are in motion in
Chicago that the result will lack clear
significance.
