worlds Oldest cowboy, today was cell

he rides the fence, staying in the
saddle from six to ten hours daily.
He has a strong. clear voice, an
accurate memory, and his hair has
never turned grey. Riding in many

trial news agency serving about
$4,000 daily and weekly newspapers
in all forty-eight States is under in

That the news service, conducted

diScredit and retard municipal own

From what they have learned,
