TOWNER, N. OAK, March 3.-Funny
little signs which puzzle humans, much
less the hardy chickens which actually
started an tmpromptu gold rush here
abouts are cropping up on the prairies.
And II the late Mr.. Fowl that picked
up the gold nuggets was here and could
read. he doubtless would chuckle mer-
rily at such posters as Devils Dream, :"
Laughing Water" Golden Glow" and
"Rich Mans Folly" that now adorn
the bleak stretches of ranch land as
names Of claims.
The romance Of the prairie country
threatens to be rekindled. The rush,
begun after a native chicken, marketed
in Chicago, was found to have gold IN
its gullet, has reached that realistic
stage in which participants are swing
ing fists in the best claim jumping
fashion.
Several syndicates are in action bal
lyhooing the alleged gold content OF
earth, which, they declare, runs as
high as $3.50 per ton.
More than 10000 acres OF land has
been leased or bought outright, not in.

Government land on which claim
stakes have been driven down.
A Minot Daily News reporter went
home with the story that real estate
prices in the Denbigh area have begun
to skyrocket."

hurriedly withdrawn their land, be-
lieving their prices were too low. Now
they don't know what to ask, with all
of this talk of gold"
The reporter found one rancher

dashing over the countryside, pausing
occasionally to gouge the sandy soil

NEW YORK, March 3-The -Four
Horsemen" are convinced that the re-
cent Eastern bridge championships
definitely proved that their system. or
method, as they prefer to call it. is the
best at contract.
Their team of four-P. Hal Sims, o.
valid Jacoby, willard S. Karn and
David Burnstine-won the team-o -four
event. In addition. Burnstine, who has
formulated principles which the horse
men" have used for some time, won
the individual trophy.
The "horsemen" call their method
the one-over-one. term which Is
claimed by at least three other systems.
A feature of one-over-one is that bid
of one of a suit over a bid of one by
partner in another suit Is a force. re-
quiring the original bidder to keep the
bidding open. Preliminary bids are
purposely kept low. Forcing bids in
other systems after partner has made
a bid are higher than necessary to
overcall.
Opening Bids Stronger.
In contrast to other one-over-one
systems, the Horsemen do not raise
partners suit to the limit at once If
such suit best fits their hands. They
raise to one less than they are willing
to play Their opening bids of one are
stronger than In other systems because
partners respond with less strength.
As best illustrative of the Horsemen s
methods, Mr.. Burnstine has selected a
hand at which all their followers con-
tracted for game in hearts and made it,
while most others were set two trying
to make three no trump.

gun to California Hall, where the
convention was scheduled The
streets around the convention were
black with people. The main audi
torium in California Hall was
damned and the overflow crowd
filled the basement halls.
A huge crowd was addressed on
the street, but had to be turned
away due to lack of hall space. The
convention was opened amid wild
enthusiasm with the report of the
State Hunger March Committee.
Governor Rolph sent a detail Of
detectives to the Convention Hall
with his written reply, saying he can
do no more than he already has.
He attacked the jobless workers,
saying that the objection to present
relief is that the unemployed have
to work to get maintenance. He
made slurring remarks concerning
the unWllingness of the unemployed
to work. He urged the unemloyed
no ito threaten" the government,
and to follow Father Coxs example
in Washington.
