OFFERS HUNTER GOOD SPORT
Santa Cruz Island Can Furnish Thrills

Wild Hogs.

On Santa Cruz island, of the
southern coast Of California, one

dangerous big-game shooting in the
pursuit Of the ferocious Wild bears
found on that wild and rugged bit
Of land
Santa Cruz is uninhabited except
for handful Of human beings who
have developed it's most fertile
slopes as sheep and cattle range.
Its wild boars are descendants of
hogs brought TO the island with 9TH
er domestic animals when a ship
load Of Spanish criminals were
landed there in 1852, after Spain
had made Santa Cruz z penal
colony. This crew Of undesirables
did not remain long on the island.
Building rude bsats of timber from
the neighboring forest and tie skins
Of the cattle and horses with which
they had been supplied, they depart
ed almost as soon as the ship which
had brought them. Their swine re-
mained and evolved into the race Of
vicious Wild hogs with which the
island is today infested. These ami
mails are said to be a plague 70 the
ranch people. They destroy crops,
Kill sheep, and often gore cattle and
horses. There is bounty On

NIGHT RIDERS ORGANIZE;
 ASSASSIN PLUNCES TO DEATH

The night riders chase is one of the big scenes in the First Nation al Special Production, 'In Old Ken lucky" with Anita Stewart, which will be shown at The Regent Thea tre May 14-15. The setting of the picture is back in the old lawless days when the moonshiners defied the law and when men of the mountains still settled their differ ences with the gun, while the men of the cities, impatient of the de- lays of the law, often took it into their own hands.
 Night Riders Organized
 So were the night riders formed, men who masked and hunted the fugitives on horseback, where they held a quick trial and condemned the victim according to their views of justice.
 In the story the night riders were called out to pursue mountaineer, who had been accused of setting fire to a barn, drugging a jockey and at tempting to shoot one of the first citizens.
 They are informed of the trail he has taken back to his mountain home and come out in scores to cap-
