Anyone who saw the movie, "Mr.
Deeds Goes to Town." got splen-
did idea of what Gary Cooper is
really like, according to Gary's
mother, Mrs. Charles Cooper, who
visited old friends in Helena re-
Gently. In taking the part of poor
man who suddenly inherited lot
of money, then proceeding to give
it away-with utter disdain of the
sycophants who flocked about
him-Gary showed his real self,
his mother said.
Mrs. Cooper explained that her sons
name was originally Frank but that
Hollywood changed it for him" due
to the confusion of four Frank Coop
erS on the movie lots. He liked the
name and has since legalized it," said
his mother.
The Cooper family lived at and
near Helena for many years. Mr..
Cooper was a lawyer and about 20
years ago was elected a member OF
the Montana Supreme Court. Their
son attended Helena schools and Mon
tana State college in Bozeman. While
helping himself through college he
worked in the summer vacations as a
bus driver in Yellowstone park. Dur
ing one of his vacations he made a
trip to Hollywood where he met for
mer Helena cowboy who was doing
some stunts in a rodeo movie. The
friend influenced young Cooper to put
on overalls and big hat and take
part in the movie.
And that was the start of Gary in
the movies" said his mother. His first
! part of any consequence was as a
gangling youth in The Winning OF
Barbara worth
His friends in Montana will appre-
ciate the word "gangling.' He was all
of that and more, during the days he
rode the range on his fathers ranch
near Wolf Creek. He finally grew up,
calling a halt at something like six
feet, four.
His mother said he married a New
York society girl-Veronica Balfe. They
live at Brentwood Cnear HOLLYWOOD
and have a baby daughter. A few
years ago she said. Gary went on
lion-hunting trip to Africa as the guest
of Count and Countess Di Fasso of
Italy During the trip he was intro
duced to a wealthy widow.

They Understand Each Other
Horses and Tom just understand
each other, and Tom says that when
the time comes when he can't ride
any more he'll be ready for the Great
Roundup. Now. at the age of 80. the
sight of Tom Byrd riding Babe down
the streets of Roundup IS a common
occurrence. Tom rides with the erect
unconcern of a genuine cowboy his
10-gallon Stetson so much part OF
him that you barely notice it. When
he stops to chat with his friends, one
marvels that the only wrinkles in his
firm, brown, white -moustached face
are laugh wrinkles.
Tom says he's never walked any
place where he could ride And only
when there has been no alternative
has he stopped to automobile trans
portation. He is suspicious of it, anG
doubts very much if it is here to stay

the west was full of tough punchers.

By BETTE EISELEN

Tom Byrd is a fool about a
horse. He admits it. He was born
on a horse 81 years ago down in
Parker county, Texas, and he's
been in the saddle ever since.
Horses and Tom just naturally
got along from the first, and when
he was IS, he left his fathers ranch
and got a job as cowhand with
Smokey" Browns outfit. That
was In 1872, and Tom had few head
of cattle of his own which he ran
with the outfit for the next few wears,
His life during those years was the
life of Texas cowboy in the golden
age of the famous Texas trail herds
great cattle industry of the northwest.
In 1879. Tom helped trail a herd of
1000 longhorns from Fort Sill, Tex,
to Deer Trail, Colo, and was in the
saddle three months on the trip.
He didn't care much for trail herd.
He had visions of his own ranch and
marrying pretty little Sue Mason back
in Coleman county, Texas, and it
wasn't until 1888 when he was a mar
ried man with cattle of his own that
he went again. This time they were
driving 5000 yearling steers from
Texas to Greer county, Oklahoma,
through the Commanche Indian coun-
try. The Commanches demanded some
beef in return for a peaceful passing,
and Tom says, I'VE cut EN- out the
three sorriest-looking critters in the
herd and went our way without any
trouble

the redskins. Tom said, Indians! Why
I could tell you stories about Indians

was formed at that time a friend
ship between the two which has lasted
since.
Early in the century Pete and Tom
Dillon, present managing editor of the
Minneapolis Tribune were rival re-
porters on the same beat in Helena.
Later in Butte, Pete and Frank c.
Walker, prominent New York attor-
ney and former chairman of the ma
tional emergency council, were rival
reporters.
In Denver, Snelson was associated
at various times with Damon Runyon,
noted screen and. sports writer and
author; Gene Fowler, author of Tim
