WILD HORSES GONE, BRONCO BUSTER WILL , GO OUT OF BUSINESS

(By Associated Press) DENVER, Colo., Feb. 19. Bronco Busters of the northern Rocky Mountain - states are about to go but of business, according to reports from officials of wild west and frontier shows. Tho reason is there aren't any wild horses to bust At least not around Wyoming and this part of the coun'tiy.C'' - ' r . - But down In Arizona .they have -wild horses to; eat, ' There are" 10,000 of them: They belong to the SanCarlos Indians, who have a "reservation not far from Globe, but there Isn't much chance of getting- the Arizona ponies for the bronco busters of Wyoming for the Indians won't give them up. Wild Herds Leave Range. The day of the wild herds of horses roaming the plains of Wyoming and adjacent states has been growing rapidly shorter, being fenced In, herds of cattle are reduced or confined and to make the matter worse for the existence of the wild steeds, oil drilling camps have been extended over wide areas of Wyoming, northwestern Colorado and TJtah.' But down on .the San Carlos Indian reservation there , are 10,000 wild steeds, roaming at will over the fields, destroying mile after, mile of grazing land which might bp put . into good use for cattle, and turning green grass of the prarie Into a scrawny covering for their homes which hardly make even a decent meal for an Indian. Indians Protect Horses. The cattlemen have tried to buy them, but the Indians wouldn't listen. The government, through A. H. Symonds, Indian agent, offered to purchase them at about $6 a head, Invest the money into cattle and save the meat from the horses, giving it back to the Indians for winter food. I5ut the Indians would have none of it. The horses are worthless, even for hides. They cannot be domesticated and the meat isn't much of a delicacy, but the Indians insist on their age old prerogative to have their herds out on the open prarie even as their fathers dirt. The Indians also have about 2.000 wild burros which they say they will keep,., Sometimes In the isolated mountain canons horses are found running loose, but while these might be termed wild, they usually -belong to some -rnncher who has let them run loose. Wild burros are frequent in various parts of 'Arizona' and Occasionally are found in Utah. But the old wild horse herds of the mountain plateau regions have gone, probably forever.

LODGE CELEBRATES FOUNDING DECATUR. Ind., Feb.. 19. Knights ol" Pythias of Adams county celebrated the anniversary of the founding of the order last night by entertaining delegates from Berne and Geneva. -

WASHINGTON Blanche Sweet, who will make the patrons of the Washington Theatre laugh Sunday, when they follow her! adventures in "Help Wanted: Male," wherein she goes a-hunting for a rich husband, offers this recipe for baiting and catching a man. Buy a wardrobe of black clothes, extreme and daring in style, borrow your friend's bull dog, acquire a French accent and a shrug, hint at a deep, dark mysterious "past," and pose as a widow. Set this combination . in a fashionable seaside hotel and wait for results. According to "Help Wanted: Male," the new Jesse D. Hampton-Pathe feature, the results can be very amusing, thrilling, adventurous and romantic, making spicy entertainment. MURRAY VAUDEVILLE Four classy young colored chaps attired in full evening dress and known in high vaudeville circles as The Dixie Four, will be seen and heard on the new bill next week at The Murray opening Monday matinee. These beys sing all kinds and manner of songs, execute a few dancing steps in their own peciliar style, with a goodly portion of real comedy on the side for extra measure. From all advance reports, audiences are loth to let them depart, and no doubt local patrons will keep them from retiring to their dressing rooms until they have exhausted their repertoire. Then come Schwartz and Clifford, a man and woman team for more laughs. This act was the hit of the hill at McVickers Theatre, Chicago, last week, and they are known as the "show stoppers," which is vaudeville parlance' for holding up the show so the succeeding act is unable to appear. Byrd and Allen, a typical Keith act with a beautiful setting in "Class, Songs and Music," and Richard Wally and Co,, in his novelty juggling act, "The Human Pool Table," will complete the bill. Frank Holland, who has appeared on bils with Valentine Vox and Company in his ventriloquial oddity "The Clubman," says Mr. Vox is one of the most refined and talented ventriloquists of the day, and has an act which is one continual round of laughter presented in a highly artistic manner. He is hilled to open Thursday for the last half. The stage of late has produced many ventriloquists, who in their term have produced wonderful novelties in feats such as drinking, whistling while smoking, etc. It has been left for Mr. Vox, however, to cap the climax in this line as he has accomplished the seemingly impossible, in his phenomenal double voiced singing, in which Mr. Vox and his manikin can be heard distinctly and simultaneously. Another interesting feature will bo Henrv B. Toomer and Co., in their skptcii "The Wife Saver." In this act the stenographer is a real hit. This character, essayed by Miss Esther Day. is the crux of a delightful surprise. Miss Day's interpretation of tlte tynist with an aim, is all that

could be wished and then some, of course everybody will exnect Henry Toomer to keep the fisibilities at top notch during the action of the playlet and they' are not going to be disappointed. The Jean Gordon Player, four in number, and Coffman and Carroll, comedians, are also underlined with

MURRETTE Tonight's performances at the Murrette Theatre offer the last chance to see George Walsh in the great William Fox production, "Number 17," adapted from Louis Tracy's famous novel. There are realism, romance and gripping mystery in the story, and George Walsh is in his element in such an atmosphere. Many of the scenes were taken in New York's Chinatown, and others in the haunts of the Four Hundred for extremes meet in this thrilling story of love and crime and danger. Mildred Reardon makes a very charming heroine. MURRAY
