Old Time Scout, Still Grip

of Wild Horses to Town.

Idaho Bill, old time friend of
Buffalo Bill, Pawnee Bill and all
the rest of the famous western
scouts, arrived in Albuquerque yes
terday for the Tri-state rodeo
which will start here Thursday af-
ternoon.
Still on crutches from his big
hearted effort to save two women
and their children near the camp
grounds at Pueblo some weeks ago,

bled off the train last night from
Las Vegas, where he had overseen
the loading of CARROTS wild
horses.
Although idaho Bill will not be
able to occupy his usual place in
cowboy roundup, due to his in
jured legs, he will nevertheless be
central and picturesque figure
at the rodeo, which is being given
under the auspices Of the Disabled
Soldiers league. He was sworn in
as a deputy sheriff yesterday.
Idaho was driving his car on
the main road just outside of the
Pueblo camp ground a few weeks
ago and met a car being driven
by q woman. There were two
children in the car besides a wom-
an friend of the driver. The car
was coming down the center of the
road at high rate of speed. Ida

in an effort to miss the car but
there wasn't room for both of
them to pass, So

car.

"Thank you," said Colonel Ham,
like flash, "but if it's all the same
to you I'd rather be Waterman at

Twain had the advantage in secur-
ing worldwide recognition as a
humorist through his books, for the
Canadian has hitherto reached his
audiences only by word of mouth.
At last, Colonel Ham has been per-
suaded to publish a book-"Remi-
niscences of a Raconteur"- sixty
years of amusing recollections. In
this volume he re-tells many of the
stories that have made him famous,
weaving these into a record of
Canadian life of the last sixty
years, which will be invaluable to
the future historian. Col. Ham was

on a higher plane.
THE independent movement is
designed to give the people their
rights, but If they can be secured
in any other way by all of us

we should pursue"
The former governor stated that
he had had a conference with
Bursum and that he had received
the pledge of the senator that the
game of politics would be played
clearly in the state. 1t was upon
that pledge that he had decided
not to oppose Bursum in the cam
paign.
Turning to the constitutional
amendments, he strongly urged his
hearers that they vote against

levy for schools.

He urged that tie voters pass the
amendment which will permit the
legislature to exempt the property
of soldiers from taxation to the

The keynote of his opposition

Of college life. Mr.. Hickey sug-
gested to the students that If they
were planning to continue their
education through college. 1t would
be more advisable for them to en-
ter small school for the first two
years. then proceed to larger uni
versity, where they could special
ize in their particular courses. Mr..
Hickey took care to explain the
difficulty in not only entering, but
actually remaining in the larger
universities. "At M. I. T. (Boston
Tech.)," he said, they really seem
to try to kill off the underclass
men. So IL you take up a large
school, you must work to stay
there.
Mr.. Hickey is at present senior
at Mass. Tech.
