Kid made use of a smoke screen. The wind was blowing from his band toward the rangers. The Indian fired the prairie. Then, under cover of the smoke they brought down some of the Rangers.
 Col. Owens did not escape. Two of the Wolff boys with whom he lived when he first came to Texas, fell in the rifle fire. Col Owens dragged them through it and returned to get his horse. Then he rode into a bull let that caught him in the left thigh and another killed his horse, which feM on the Colonel, crushed his chest, and left him unconscious. When he came to himself he was seven miles nearer civilization, being carried on the back of a friendly squaw. The WoGf boys were saved.
 Recuperating, he again took up the chase and helped to make it merry for the Apache Kid until that outlaw was run to cover in Big Bear Canyon on the Pecos river and died from a Rangers bullet.
 He then broke IS horses to work without line. bridle or bit, and their performance was presented the first show in Omaha in 1884. In 1885 Col. Owens went back to Texas. He added to his string of f'naked racers" as they were called. and presented them for two seasons with the Bar mum & aBiley circus. Then he sold them to that company.
 He returned to Texas and took up the trail of Bass Scott and his band of cattle rustlers. This crowd was exterminated 100 miles from Fort Stockton, but before their end Col. Owens had received a terrible wound that crushed in his left side.
 This laid him up for some, time but he went on the last "big drive'' of cattle from Texas. There were 5000 head in the herd. Tn Stevens Saucer, Texas so-called because the hills form Q giant saucer, a coyotte parked and a cowboy fired a shot at him. When cattle were dead and 2.5O0 were lost.
 Returning to civilization, Col. Owens heard of a midget broncho o pony born on the trail He bought this little animal. which was the great trick pony E'CIeo." He trained Cleo" and the animal was taken around the world twice by Col. Owens. ''Cleo' died in 1918. Col. Owens then left the road.
 What is thought Of him by show men is evidenced by his initial. and since automatic elections, as chaplain of their club. He can still take the thumb. fore and middle fingers of his pistol hand. roll and crin1p a cigar ette the cowboys way, in spite of the fact that those three fingers are shot the gun out of his hand.
 Col. Owens is still a Texas Ranger. He has never resigned, he has never been discharged. He is a man of quiet nlein and to meet him one would never realize he was one of the vaGa mt men that carried law and order to and over the frontiers.

Homer Cummings Predicts Sweeping Victory For
 Democrats Next Fall

had told me a year ago that the Re pubEcans would have made such a complete fasco of the management of public affairs, I would not have be- Heved it. If things go on as they have been going, it would seem that the impossible might happen, and the vast majority Of November, 1920, be swept entirely away.
 'It behooves us. I think, as Chair man Hull suggests, to make sure that our own house is in order and that our nominees throughout for the more important offices are men of such caracter that they will mand public confidence, and who would be able to render good account of themselves if elected.''

CHARITY OF RECLUSE
DISCLOSED BY FRIENDS
Miss Teresa c. Ryan, Now at st.

Neighbors of Miss Teresa C. Ryan
seventy-one years, old, who yesterday J

their sorrow for her, at the same time
fully realizing 1t was best for her to
be taken from her home, which was in
so miserable a conditions.
Up until come time ago Miss Ryan
had done great amount of charitable
work She had gone among poor per-
sons living in alleys and other bywaye
and ministered TO their wants finan-
cialiy. 1t is thought by neighbors that
much OF the money from rents she COL
lected was given to the poor. Miss
Ryan seemed to know the value of
money, neighbors said, and the coll
purchases for her at neighboring. stores
were paid 25 cents for each errand
Miss Ryan, it is stated. was careful
In the selection of persons she entrusted
with money to make purchases for her
and at times would remain in the area
way in front of her home several hours
before Summoning a passer-by to go TO
a store. 1t was her custom TO purchase
two or three quarts of milk each day,
some for herself and some for her cats,

Persons who did her buying say she
always bought more substantial articles
Of food, butter. eggs and bread being
the principal articles purchased. Attor.

who came here from New York to look
after her aunt and was surprised to
find her home in such a condition. Mr..

given a thorough search and cleaning.
Neighbors have an idea that Miss Ryan

contrary.

Of trained men was ha1ved on ac-
count Of the refusal of the bour-
geoisie to cooperate. The return
of the Capitalist" system on q small
basis has had the effect, however, OF
drawing most of this class back into
line.
America In Model.
The Russians. on the whole, Mr..
Truesdell says, feel themselves some
what in the same boat as America
of years gone by. They think they
are fighting off despotism and are
having hard pull for liberty and
freedom, of which to their eyes this
nation is the criterion and example.
Mr.. Truesdell said that he found
freedom of speech unchecked when
1t cames to condemning any act of
the sovie,s. The denunciators, he
said, were as vehement as they
wished in condemning certain acts
of the government which did not
meet with their approval. Yet no
action was taken against them.
lished permanently, Mr.. Truesdell
said. There seems little chance of
It's downfall Its greatest problem is
to allviate conditions in the famine
areas so that the peasants will put
in crops that will prevent a revisit
tation of the famine. The only solu-
tion, it seemed to him, he said, was
feeding up those farmers in the fam
inc areas before planting time to a
point where they would not eat the
seed grain for the crops. If this
can be accomplished, he said, it
seemed reasonable to expect better
conditions for tho country during the
next, year than those which. have
gone before.
