DIES FOR
MAT {
First Breckenridge Inmate
Slain D efending
Honor of Home.
By RENWICKE CARY

Grandpa" Buffalo, pioneer resi-
dent of the Breckenridge Park zoo,
died fighting for his mate.
And the slayer now leads the herd
that once waited ON "Grandpa's"
slightest wish.
This fact was revealed Saturday
when a missing witness, for two days
the object of search by special in
vestigators of the crime, was located.
As result, a murder charge in the
first degree will probably be filed
against a younger member of the herd.
The suspect is still at large.
Late Thursday the elderly buffalo
was found dead in the back yard of
his park home.
His torn and mangled body bore
mute evidence of the struggle which
had occurred,
Mrs. Buffalo had accompanied
friends to the theater, where she was
when the tragedy is believed to have
been enacted.
"SHEIK" THE SLAYER.
She has been silent since her hus-
bands death, even refusing to aid
the special Investigators in their
search.
The witness, however, has talked.
According to the witness, whose
identity is being closely guarded by
local officials, the younger buffalo
of the Beau Brummel" type-has
been bestowing his attentions upon
the victims wife for several weeks.
The deceased also had warned" the
persistent sutton to stay off his prem
ises, the witness averred.
FOUGHT 1T OUT.
Thursday the young buffalo came
to his home again.
The victim was at home and the
two fought it out in the rear of the
house, it is believed.
Working on this clue, the authori-
ties expect to take the suspect into
custody before the week ends.
The witness was released, having
been cleared of any part in the crime.
Each question asked in a two-hour
grilling was answered directly and
without the slightest hesitation, it was
Funeral services for the victim were
held Friday.

PRODUCTION
THIS YEAR
WILL SET
RECORD
Twenty Thousand Acres
Will Be Planted to !.
Trees This Season.

Twenty thousand additional acres
will be planted to citrus trees in the
Rio Grande Valley this season, ac-
cording to conservative estimates
made by nurserymen. This will give
the Valley a total Of $1,000 acres in
citrus. There are now approximately
100000 trees in the Valley.
The estimate Of the number of adj
ditional acres to be planted is based on
a checkup of nursery stock in Valley
towns and on advance orders already
booked. 1t is estimated that there are
in Valley nurseries, budded and all
ready for setting, no less than mill
lion and half homegrown trees. This
is by far the largest number of home
grown trees ever available in any one
season. Planting is expected to start
early in September, the season last
ing through next June.
EXPECT RECORD YIELD.
Most growers are planting 20 trees
to the acre, but some put in as many
as IS. OF the $4,000 trees now in the
Valley, only a comparatively small
number were in bearing last year.
With these trees coming in this bear
ing season the Valley is expected to
make a production record.
The coming planting season will see
a greater percentage of orange trees
set out than ever before. Interest in
oranges has been increasing rapidly
and nurserymen report that orders
now being received indicate the de-
mand will be about $3.50 for grape
fruit and oranges. 1t is estimated
that practically rs per cent of the
present citrus acreage in the Valley
is in grapefruit. a.
USE HOMEGROWN TREES.
Ever since Valley nurserymen con-
clusively demonstrated the superior
ity of the some-grown tree and com
menced producing them, the supply
has never equalled the demand. Prac-
tically every land owner who has Civ
en- the matter of citrus orchard any
study or investigation has become
convinced that the homegrown treo
offered far better guarantees for be-
coming a successful producing tree
than imported nursery stock. How
ever, homes grown trees were not
plentiful and as a result hundreds of
carloads Of trees have been shipped
to the Valley from Florida and Cali
fornia.
This will be the first year in the
history of the Valleys citrus industry
when the supply Of homegrown trees
will come anyways near equalling the
demand" said one nurseryman, "and
even now, no doubt, there viii be a
considerable sale of imported stock.
The time is almost here or at any
rate will soon be when Valley nursery
men can supply the Valley with Ell
the homegrown trees it wants and as
result we believe there viii b.
far fewer losses and disappoint'
ments."

THE MERRY WIDOW
 AT CAPITOL SUNDAY
Mae Murray and John Gilbert
 CO.Star {

The widely heraldod Metro Goldwyn-Mayer picture, "The Mer- ry Widow" Is coming to the Capi- tol theater on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, It pre- sents one of the most significant combinations effected for. the screen. It unfolds a picturesque TO- nance of a gallant prince and a popular American dancer in a small continental kingdom, and in the hands of Erich von Stroheim, Ideally suited to stage such a thing, the production Is said to fulhll all that which was expected of 1t. The title role, entrusted to Mae Murray furnishes this piquant actress with the best role of her career, and gives her full opportunity to dis play the charm, vivacity and talent for which she is so justly famous. John Gilbert who co-stars In this picture with Miss Murray gives a performance that brings him still further to the front as popular idol. Von Stroheim has a rccog- nized genius for selecting types that are remarkably fine actors, and then inspires them to do the best work of their careers. The re- suit is that each character stands out like a rare intaglio. The cast includes such favorites as Roy Darcy, Fully Marshall, George Faycett, Dale Fuller, Josephine Crowell, Estelle Clark, Don Ryan, Hughle Mack, Edward Connolly, George Nichols and Lon Poff.
 "The Merry Widow is a screen version of the famous stage play by Victor Leon, Leo Stein and Franz Lehar as produced by Henry w. Savage. Erich von Stroheim handled the adaptation and con- tinuity for the picture in collabora- ton with Benjamin Glazer.
 The Keith Albee vaudeville pro gram with the photoplay will offer standard attractions headed by the Five Harmoniacs in Round up Times"
 The Capitol orchestra and or ganIst have prepared a musical treat with the screening Of "Ihe Merry Widow" and will play the famous catchy tunes of the show.

While the vocal end is well attended 10 and the music and lyrics by Joseph Santlcy and | Cliff Hess arc as catchy and likeable 1 as might be expected. the popularity of the entertainment greatly rests on the dancing which varies from the waltz clog, so long associated with the name of Pat Rooney. to tho Ori- ental while the Charleston finale Of the first act is one that ont of town critics say is revelation in this type of dancing.
