This One is Not 7oday's
Worst Yarn by a
Dam Site

When a New Yorker goes
browsing about the desert way
out from Las Vegas looking for
homestead corners and instead
finds an ancient kt Of pros
pectOr's equipment with evil
dences of tragic circumstances
in a long gone day, that's
something to write home about.
Sounds like a yarn" but
that's just what Harry Sher-
win did early this week.
With Hugh Shamberger,
Sherwin was out prospecting
around to locate some land
when under a "jOshua" tree
they found a blanket roll tied
with rope, and a canvas water
bag hanging from a limb of
the tree, empty and weather
beaten.
When they lifted the pack
the ropes and blanket fell
apart, rotted, and the core of
the pack was a short handled
shovel, rusty hatchet and a
handleleSs broad axe, with a
knife and fork wrapped in an
old newspaper dated July IL,
1897, printed in Pennsylvania.
The broad axe is now on
display in the window at
SwanSOn'S Arcade.
Looked like the prOspectOr
may have run out Of water
and left his load there for
lighter travelling, failing to re-
turn" said one of the boys.

RODEO MULE HAS
OWN BANK ACCT

A mule SO well educated ne even
mas his own bank account viii per
.orm at the Boulder Dam Rodec
acre April 6 and 7 with Overland
Red, who will stage cloWning acts
at the show, says Club Morgan
manager Of the rodeO.
Virgil, the mule, does everythinS
out talk, said Morgan. Half of the
earnings Of Virgil and his master
are put into the bank on Virgil'S
account SO that if Red gets reckless
and spends all his money there
will be funds with which to pay
Virgil's fare to the next show.
Red bet all his money on the
wrong horse one time at Tia
Juana, with the result that Virgil
vent into hook, and Col. Joe Miller
Of the l01 Ranch had to bail
him out to join the show, said
Morgan.
Virgil acted in three comedies
in Hollywood, and Reds jealousy
was SO aroused by the fact that he
himself couldn't make the grade. >
that he took Virgil out of pictures.
Virgil acted in one scene where he
had to climb into bed and pull
thee overs over him. A nice green
carrot, sewed into the top of the
sheet, helped out in this scene.
Overland Red is one Of the high
est paid rodeo clowns in the coun-
try, said Morgan. He has perform
ed in Madison Square Garden,
New York City. He is a trick roper
and a race rider, and has with him
one of the best bulldogging ponies
in the business, he added
Red and his animals come to
this rodeo from Deadwood, South
Dakota.
