Purse Attempt
Censured.
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON


The attempt Of the tournament
bureau Of the Professional Coli.
erS' Association to set a price scale
for open golf tournaments has
drawn the censure Of many p. G.
A. members, particularly those
+ who remain at their clubs prac-
ttcally .he whole year.
The tournament group, headed
by Bob Harlow, met In Miami in
December and expressed an "opln-
ion" that too many tournaments
were being held and that . new
scale Of purse prizes should be re-
quired after May /, 1886. A copy
Of the resolution was forwarded
to various State golf associations,
although the resolution carried no
official Endorsement from the P.
G. A.
A minimum $4,000 gross purse
was sought for tournaments to in.
clude Friday, Saturday and Sun
day; $4,000 for a tournament on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
and $3, 900 on tournament played
on any three consecutive days
from Monday to Friday.
An opinion was also expressed"
that IS was sufficient fee for an
entry in any tournament falling
within these claSSifications, sug.
geSting the amount derived from
said fees be turned over to the
P. G. A. for the purpose Of EN-.
ploying a publicity agent to aid.
vertise the tournaments.
Needless to add. the sponsors Of
the. movement have since buried
their heads in the sands, to escape
the swirling storm Of nays from
associations that had been queried.

Coulson was thriving village strug-
gig hopefully toward its ambition as
the metropolis Of the west while BIZ
lings, destined to be its successful
rival, was but wilderness. Mr.. Sander

Anderson and Currier when Anderson
killed CIIrrier in self defense and gave

Frank Sanderson was one of the
mail from Fort Custer to LaVigne. That
was an important and often perilous
job. We who casually accept the eff
cient service of trains and airplaneS
can scarcely conceive Of the courage,
and endurance needed by those first
young transporters Of mail. Often, dur
ing his latter days, in the comfortable
security Of his Billings home, Mr.. San
derSon relived one memorable night
when he was lost in a blizzard out on
the prairie. He felt the cold biting into
his bones. He began to grow numb. He
was completely bewildered as to 6irec-
ton by the swirling pellets Of snow. He
desired nothing so much as to lie
down and sleep, but that, he knew,
meant death. And so, fighting off the
fatal inertia, he tramped a circle in
the snow about his horse and hour
after hour during that long night he
forced his aching limbs to carry him
around that circle. When morning came
he saw familiar landmarks that di-
rected him to Fort Custer.
Another time the soldiers waited long
for Frank with the mail. He was over
due. In vain they looked out over the
white plains for dark, moving speck
that would be pony and rider. Finally
some Of them set out in search of the
boy. Towards morning they found a
tired pony plodding through the snow
toward the fort and, tied securely in
the saddle, Franks dropping, uncon- |
sciouS form. That had been his last in
stinctive impulse, to fasten himself on, 1
before cold quite numbed him, hoping !
his horse might carry him and the |

came to realize that greater profits
were gained by finishing his stock on
the northern ranges, but retained a
warm spot for the Kansas City market
On one occasion while trailing a herd

Hunter, Dog and

Bagging a mountain lion had all the
thrills of Tarzan story for Abe VIII

big cat recently at the head of Little
Sleeping Child glIlch.
The animal, which measured about
nine feet, was found in q tree, where
MIR. Williams shot it. The small caliber
rifle did not kin it and the infuriated
beast jumped out of the tree, landing
on the dog and a terrific fight ensued.
The cat was tearing at the dog, so
MIR. Williams attempted to save the
dog by pulling him away. The cat
turned and fell back on the hunter and
was numerically mauling him, when
Spot" the faithful old white and tan
hound again entered the fray and dis
tracted the lions attention until an
other bullet was sent through 1t, bring
ing immediate death. MIR. Williams suf-
fered no injuries, but Spot" was badly
wounded, though not fatally.
