Another interesting thing about the
birds and mammals of the Santa Cata-
lima, Huachuca and Chiricahua noun
tains is the development in these iso-
lated ranges of new types of animals
BY isolation from other animals over
centuries, the traits and features are
developed by certain of the smaller
animals.
The Chiricahua squirrels were cited
SIS an example of this different type
of animal. They are closely related
to the eastern fox squirrel, but have
traits and features found only there.
A considerable, amount of game was
reported from the Chiricahuas. There
are three kinds Of quail there, blue,
fambels and fool, and an abundance
of deer.

ROGERS SHOOTS
TEXAS STEER

Thousands OF Washingtonians in
the vicinity Of the Pan-AmerIcan
Building paused today, startled, as
they saw frock-coated. high-booted
individual wearing a bilious-hued
ten-gallOn hat cavorting from curb
to curb in accustomed cow-country
style.
Then they saw the movie cameras
and knew it was only Will Rogers,
comedian, who, with his company of
screen celebrities, was shooting
scenes for the forthcoming comedy
release, "A Texas Steer" in which
Rogers plays the role of Congress
man Maverick Brander.
Baked yesterday by low visibility
and threatened with similar condi-
tons today, the Rogers company was
attempting to avail itself Of every
rift in the cloudy skies,
Motorcycle policemen, specially de-
tailed, corraled Crowds out of the
way that the work might proceed.
Tonight Rogers will appear in per-
son at the 1880 performance at the
Metropolitan Theater. With him will
be Louise Fazenda, popular come
dienne; Douglas Fairbanks, jr., Sam
Hardy, Rogers foil in the forthcom-
ing film, George Marion Ann Rork
and others equally well known.
From the theater the screen party
will flock to LIE Paradis for dinner
and dancing. Tomorrow night Rogers
will dine at the National Press Club,
then appear at a reception in his
honor at the Washington Audito-
rum.

BRIDE CHARGE !

An echo or the famous Old Dutch
MN case, in which Thomas u. Gard.
ner, proprietor, and Michael Cefar-
atti, former prize fighter and police
man, were arrested five years ago,
and tried on. charges OF operating
disorderly house, resounded in police
circles today when it was learned
that Cefarratti was arrested last
night on charges of transporting,
possession, bribery and carrying con-
cealed weapons.
Cefaratti, who now lives at 1918 A

house. Both Cefaratti and McNally
were said to have had pistols in
their possession when arrested last
night Their truck is said to have
contained S16 quarts Of alleged
liquor.
Cefaratti first came into promin-
ence here as a prize fighter, under
the name Of Mike Urane. Later he
Joined the police force for short
time. Shortly after his resignation
he became associated with Gardner
in the operation of the Old Dutch
Mn, on Seventh ST. between p and
@ SITS, N. W.
The place was reputed to cater to
a mixed trade Of white and col.
ored people, although this was de.
MED by Gardner, the place was ii.
nally raided at the request of Lieut..
Nina G. Van Wrinkle, head of the
women's bureau.
The trial was one of the longest
ever held in police court, requiring
five days for presentation OF evi-
dence and argument. The jury de.
liberated for several hours, but was
