dent. He was carrying two pas
sengers in his automobile and was
attempting to renew the supply
of gasoline from a hve-gallon can
when it ignited and flames burst
up into his face. burning it almost
a crisp. One of his hands was also
badly burned. The gasoline fumes
under the top of the car ignited.
The passengers. a man and a wo-
man, jumped for their lives. but
not before the hats of both were
consumed on their heads. All the
upholstering was burned out OF
the car. Mr.. Hughes thinks his
engine was overheated and this
caused the gasoline to take fire.

INDIANS own ONLY
- WILD HORSES LEFT

Denver. Colo, Feb. 1o-Bronco
Busters of the northern Rocky
Mountain states are about to go
out of business, according to re-
ports from officials of wild west
and frontier shows. The reason
is there aren't any wild horses to
bust. At least not around Wyo-
ming and this part of the coun-
try.
But down on the San Carlos
have wild horses to eat. There
are 10000 Of them. They belong
to the San Carlos Indians who
have a reservation nat far from
Globe. But there isn't much
chance of getting the Arizona
ponies for the broncho busters OF
Wyoming for the Indians won t
give them up.
l The day OF wild herds of horses
lroaming the plains of Wyoming
and adjacent states has beer
growing rapidly shorter with the
lencroach1nent Of civilization
More and more ranches are being
fenced in. herds of cattle are re-
duced or confined and to make
| the worse for the existence of the
wild steeds, oil drilling camps
| have been extended over wide
areas of Wyoming, northwestern
Colorado and Utah.
! But OdWn on the San Carlos
| Indian reservation there are TO-
600 wild steeds, roaming at will
over the fields, destroying mile
after mile Of grazing land which
might be put into good use fol
cattle and turning green grass OF
the prairie into a sCrawny cover
ing for their bones which hardly
make even Il decent meal for an
Indian.
The cattlemen have tried tc
buy them. but the Indians would
not listen. The government. thrr
A. H. Symonds. Indian agent. Of
fered to purchase them at abou
50 a head. invest the money into
cattle and save the meat from thu
horses. giving it back to the In
| dams for winter food.
But the Indians would have
none of it. The horses are worth
less. even for hides. They cam
not be domesticated and the meat
isn't much of a delicacy, but the
Indians insist on their age ole
prerogative to have their herds
out on the open prairie even 4:
their fathers did. The indians
also have about 1000 wild burros
which they say they will keep.
