MORE THAN 200 HORSES
ARE STOLEN FROM VILLA
fRx The Associated Press. ,

Juarez, Mex, Dec. 26.-Francis-
CO Villa, who turned from the
ways of outlawry to farming, has
been robbed. More than 200
horses were stolen from his ranch
at Caputillo. 1t was an outrage,
Villa said, in reporting the activi-
ties of horse thieves to Adolfo de la
Huerta, former provisional presi-
dent of Mexico. "But / assure you
of my friendship as ever" the note
concludes.
Federal authorities assured
Senior Villa that every effort would
be made to apprehend the miscre-
ants and Villa in addition has or
ganized his former followers, who
are filling the lands on the estate,
into vigilance comittee. The lat
ter information, it is believed here,
should be sufficient to discourage
future raids on the Villa ranch.
According to one eminent scien-
fist, the temperature of the moon
is below that of melting ice.

Christmas time and liking for
turkey drew Oscar Boyd, col
ored, of Chattanooga, Tenn, a
vacation of thirty days in the
county Jail when he appeared
before Justice C. II, Stewart,
of precinct 20, last week. Boyd
told the court that early one
morning he was riding past the
Jim Ferguson ranch at Sapello
and that he looked up and saw
about twenty turkeys roosting
on the roof OF a shed, He said
that he had never seen so
pretty a sight and that he fig
ured that the owner never
would miss two of them, so he
decided to appropriate that
many. He got the first turkey
all right, but the second made
a noise and Mr.. Ferguson came
out with a shotgun.
"Ah didn't hesitate a-tall

He said the colored soldier success
fully answered the propaganda and SO
well did he conduct himself that the
French newspapers and the French
people have invited them TO come
back there to live and TO enjoy the
full measures OF equality which they
have promised.
He said that four regiments of col
ored soldiers were not taken into the
American army, but were absorbed by
French command. But, he said,
when the time came for burying the
dead, the negro soldiers who were not
good enough to fight with the white
soldiers were plenty good enough 10
bury their dead. He described the
grewsone task imposed. and said that
the huge task was accomplished in
splendid fashion by the black man.
He spoke of the sickening conditions
under which the men had TO work.
The negro soldier refused 10 listen
to German propaganda, he said, when
it was dropped over the lines to them,
and said IN substance why are you

wagons and pitching hay with the
ease of men. They wear overalls and
wide-brimmed hats, and laugh and

for movies and other pleasures and
look forward eagerly to these meet

Now, at the end of the harvest,
they are enjoying a camping trip up
the Blackfoot, where they have gone
with a truckload of equipment and
supplies.
All summer it has been "early to
bed and early to rise." Mind and
body have been too tired for many
evening diversions. But when winter
finds them snugly housed in the new
building, there will be plenty of in
door amusements, with sewing and
reading groups, in addition to the
outdoor work and sports.
The fine spirit and interest of the
girls prove the success of the voca-

to the wise choice of the

the old buildings remodeled and

year-old boy in charge of his
string of horses, and the little In
dian lad simply walked away from
the field each day by out-riding
and out-jockeying the best of them.
This young lad also came out best
in several of the other races.
More contestants were entered in
the steer roping contests than in
any other event, among them being
Ray Knight, champion steer roper
of Alberta, who came down to
Browning with a reputation which
struck terror into the hearts of
the local cowboys. Ray did well
the first day, roping, throwing and
hog-tieing his steer in one minute
and 10 seconds, but Paul Old Chief
beat this time by 10 seconds. On
the second day Ray never had a
look in, Charlie Powell grabbing
first money in the fast time of 81
seconds.
Tom Three Persons, who enjoys
an enviable reputation over the
reservation as an expert horseman,
did himself proud in the bucking
contests in which he came out first,
and in the wild horse race, in
which he took second money. At
the conclusion of the third days
program, Tom was persuaded to
mount wild-cyed beast that had
never before been mounted, and

HUNDREDS OF INDIANS FROM ALL OVER
MONTANA ATTEND BROWNING RED FAIR

The annual. Blackfoot Indian
fair, which was held at Browning
few days ago, attracted several
thousand sightseers, including men
and women of Indian blood from
almost every section of Montana,
and was most successful.
This year the management of the
fair was in the hands of the best
business men in Browning, and the
quality of the events they sched-
uled and the snap with which they
were put on, did much to overcome
the discomforts of cold and windy
weather.
Prizes on horses, cattle, hogs and
sheep were too numerous to men
ton, but very little stock was pre-
scented at the fair, largely because
the reservation has not yet recov-
cred from last years long and Sc
we're winter, with its tremendous
toll of stock losses. The grain
and vegetable exhibit was excep-
tionally large, however, and is con-
sidered by the management to be
the best in quality ever shown at
an Indian fair on the reservation.
This result is largely attributed to
irrigation, as the best specimens of
grain presented were grown on Sc
vile flats and other units of the
Blackfeet irrigation project.
Next to the harness race, in
which honors were divided between
Target, owned by w. E. Hagerty,
of Browning, and Walt MacGreg-
or, owned and driven by Bob Ham,

which consumed partssof two days,

one-half mile each day. Although
other contestants had brought in
