PLAN HUNT TO KILL
OFF TEXAS BISONS

Goodnight, Texas, Aug.
l3.-CUP)-The last great
herd of the "Monarchs of
the Plans" survivors of a
shaggy legion that once
roamed the western United
States in immense numbers,
soon will disappear, unless
public sentiment interveneS.
The famous Goodnight
herd of viii dbuffaloes will
be disposed of by means Of
a huge hunt, i (which Will
Rogers, Tom Mix and other
celebrities have been invited
to take part.
The hunt will be held in
November, on the famous
Goodnight ranch of Arm
strong county, established in
1876 by Col. Charles Good
night. pioneer cattleman of
the Texas Panhandle.
In the early days of the
Goodnight ranch, one of the
largest in the west, only a
few buffaloes roamed the
plain country. At the sug-
gestion of Mrs. Goodnight
the colonel roped and cor
raled three calves a bull and
two heiferS.
From these progenitors
Goodnight bred the huge
herd. which at one time
numbered more than 1000
head. Recently the herd
has been thinned out until
about 200 animals grazed
peacefully on the Good
night lands.
Not only will the buffa-
loes be disposed of but the
Goodnight ranch also will
be broken up. The ranch
comprises 10000 acres, ly-
ing two miles west of Clar-
endon and adjoins the IA
ranch, also established by
Goodnight and now owned
by the estate of Lady Adair
of London.
While several of the
younger buffalOes will be
sold or donated to zoos, the
majority of the herd will be
hunted down and slaughter
ed in oldtime western style.
The choicest specimens will
be sold to the big game
hunters, who will be permit
ted to have the meat, head
and hide.
Since the buffalo is a
fierce fighter, cowboys ex-
perience in riding herd" on
them will accompany the
hunters. Indain braves from
the KiOwa tribe also will at
tend the hunt and one of
their number will be allow
ed to slay a buffalo with
bow and arrow.

Of law violators that believe
that their crimes against law
and society are immune
against exposure and prose
cution, this is precisely the
attitude of a group of tin

cupy the gambling dens To-
Gated here and operated

in which these dens are con-
Quoted would make the days

an interview with the pro-

of n q u it y a few days
ago for the purp os e of
ascertaining the truthful
ness Of the reports in circu-
lation here pertaining to the
fleeing of some of the
dubs sitting in on poker
games.
This proprietor readily
admitted his knowledge of
the various incidents pres
ented, although empathi-
cally denied that any of
them had occurred in his
gambling den, or Recrea-
ton Hall, as he was pleased
to call it. He also endeaV-
ored to impress the fact
that he was conducting a
clean poker game. Allow
ing no minors to sit in the
game. Allowed no crooked
gambling. Permitted no
drinking in the den, aImitt-
ing at the same time, how
ever. that he was h.reing a
professional gambler to con-
duct his game, a man that
knows his stuff. "

| ever heard of a clause in
the law pertaining to gam

that would make even a

1t is a common knowledge
to all that are acquainted
with this situation, that
young men in their teens
are frequently seen sitting
in on these poker games,
buying their chips at a des-
ignated price, | don't mean
to infer that all the Pool
Halls are guilty of this un-
pardonable offense, but l do
infer that tn, is is the rule
rather than the exception
with the majority Of them.
Instances are recorded al
so, where working men are
known to enter these Pool
Halls on Saturday nights
with their pay checks, sit
down at the poker game
only to leave in a few hours
with empty pockets and
without means of substance
during the following week
for their needy families. Not
long ago a working man en-
ployed here in Coolidge en-
tered one of these dens for
the purpose of having his
check cashed, the opportuni-
ty to rope him in was very
presentable. It is stated
he was invited to sit in on

Quoted in this house, with

repeal. The same sentiment is said by Juneau attorneys to prevail in all parts Of the Territory.
 Laymen, too. are said to be more than quiescently sympathetic. There is a strong feeling throughout the Territory that the law is not need ed as long as the National Pro- hibition Act is on the statute books. Its provisions are applicable in all their phases to the Terri tory, it is pointed out, and thf repeal of the Alaska Bone Dry Law would not weaken local enforce ment.
 The reasons that are advanced for local enforcement laws in the States gre rot present in Alaska Here, there are no local enforce ment organizations which are pos ssssed by States and counties. The Alaska dry law is administered by Federal agencies rather than Ter ritorial, and the same agents are charged with enforcement of the national act.

 Judge Frank A. Boyle, former United States Commissioner here, and Representative elect for this Division, probably will introduce the measure seeking outright re- peal He has given the subject considerable study and believes that the power of the Legislature to take the proposed action is clear
 He does not favor making repea the subject of a referendum, which was undertaken by the last Leg islature, and which was vetoed by Coy. Parks. The Legislature should repeal the local act and if Con- gress disapproves it's action, it can declare it invalid, he asserted.
 Nc Serious Opposition
 Judge Boyle does not believe there will be any serious opposi- ton to repeal. It is generally ac- knowledged that it should be done and he is confident it will be pass ed by both the Senate and House by substantial majorities
 He has discussed the subject with some of the members of the com ing Legislature and has found none Of them opposed. Assurances of support have been given by several of those with whom he conferred
