responsible for tljfe starting of many
streams, filling pong* and eliminating
a condition that was fusing no little
concern to oil men and ^cattlemen. At

fallen since last night and* with the

f«ll Saturday, has furnished the basis
of changed conditions in this scctlon.
; Rain fell until noon and while the
weather indications announce fair
weather. Dr. Owen, the local weather
man says that unsettled weather with
plenty of rain may be looked for the
next few days because this la the eq-

Moving Pictures.
The ntrigue of Henry VIII and An-
ne Boleyn at the Yale today, comes
recommended as the most magnificent
colored picture ever made, the stage
settings of which are on a scale of
grandeur never before attempted. The
management could only aecure this
big feature for one day only.
The moving pictures of the John
aon-Flynn championship battle which
was fought at Las Vegas, New Mexi-
co, July Fourth laat. will be put on
exhibition here shortly and clearly in-
dicate that the big black conqueror
of the mighty Jeffries had the battle
6f his life to retain the title and but
for incautious fighting of Flynn which
induced the state police to stop the
•ontest In the ninth round, the Pueblo
HiKiMNMtlftU May be the champion
Mercilessly and unrelentingly the
camera shows Flynn boring Into the
abort ribs and breastworks of jil*
heavier opponent. It was In the
eighth round that Johnson, all but
gone from the terriftc onslaughts
made his appeal to Referee Kd 8mlth
in the following pathetic worda:
"Ed. I thought you were going to be
fair! He la butting me; he is hurting
m«. I cannot whip a Texaa steer.
Please make him atop!"

Home Smoker 5 cent*.
The 101 Real Wild West Show is to
be here September i\, and with it
will he the greatest congress of In
dians, cowboys, cowglHs and western
people generally ever assembled
There is positively not the first thing
about this show that is not typically
western. When this gigantic aggre-
gation eutered the amusement field
there were so .many so-cslled western
shows and for the purpose of disting-
uishing the real from the counterfeit
the word "real" was incorporated In
the title. The little word has fulfill-
ed its mission and while comparisons
arc odious the many millions of pat-
rons of the show have learned its full-
est meaning and sanctioned It use.
Coming as It does right from the
big 101 ranch at Bliss, Oklahoma, and
only western characters to give the
meritorious performance. It could
not well be otherwise. It Is not the
show that runs to long hnir. Indian
