BUZZ! BONEHOUSI
It has been a long time since
the world of nature has competed'
so much with the world of man
for prominence in the headlines
Do we notice more the wild life or
are the various species just push'
mg into the thick of things?
Whatever the answer the cute'
little things the sinister reptiles
the birds and the big mammals
are getting the headlines Not
only are they getting the head-
lines but the big and little animals
are getting the small talk also
The bear made a tremendousi
comeback this past week In a
wild tussle on Sunday afternoon
a southern brown bear of about 1
200 pounds was roped by a cow-
boy (now referred to as "Bear-
boy"—not bare boy) and incar-
cerated If a bear is capable of ponder-
ing his fate more especially if he
is capable of reading the news-
papers indeed he must have
wondered how he deserved the in-
dignity of two jails in one day
for minding his own business
The more especially he must have
thought it was a weird turn of
events from a fortnight previous-
ly when people were warned that
to harm the bear was a criminal
offense in Oklahoma
Now the bear while strolling
and loping through Oklahoma in
the spring time is suddenly pounc-
ed upon fettered and hauled off
to the pokey What are t h e
charges? A most difficult question
to answer in view of the fact that
the law gives to the bear all sorts
of prior rights
"Strange people indeed these
Oklahomans!" Surely these could
have been the last disparaging re-
marks the bear would have made
about us could he have made
any However the ghastly bite he
sank into the jeg of the cowboy
Indidates his attitude may have
been more savage
Well it is good to have such
benign news about animals It
has been but a short time that a
great social issue swirled about
the deer of the eastern part of
the county sometimes described
as the "hound dog men" against
the big land men
The ranchers were accusing the
dog runners of poaching deer
with trained and uncontrolled
dogs The hound runners accused
the ranchers of trying to stop a
harmless and time honored sport
Finally a burned barn and arson
trial was woven into the fabric
of the issue
What about the deer? They
doubtlessly are increasing and the
beautiful animals are more in evi-
dence than at any time in this sec-
tion of the state since statehood
It seemed that the deer which
originally lay at the heart of the
issue kind of fell by the wayside
of the course of the charges
Snakes are getting bigger too
We picked up a story the other
day of a snake in the southeast-
ern part of the county that was so
long that when it crossed a sec-
tion line road the head would dis-
appear on one side before the
end of the tail appeared on the
other That's a snake brother!
Or maybe some sea monster be-
came used to the land
The little animals have been
In the news in unusual ways late-
ly also There is the now well
worn story of Bill Emanuel belt-
ing a Guinea fowl with a drive off
the eighth tee at Oak Hills Coun-
try Club recently This set off a
chain of unfortunate events Bill
picked up what seemed to be a
dead bird and crossed the road
to seek some understanding with
the owners No one was at home
He laid down the bird hut return-
ed some hours later This time a
dog bit Emanuel severely T h e
owner of the fowl showed the
golfer that the bird recovered
Who suffered? The considerate
golfer of course This same fate-
ful hole has produced in the past
two weeks a tree of swarming
bees that dive bombed some golf-
ers and a stray billy goat that
butted another just in time to
make him shank his shot (What's
the rule? Why a goat is a na-
tural hazard of course!)
Some night birds have come
Into the area with beautiful but
shrill songs Their species wedon't
know Their habitat we do—just
outside our window
Animal life undoubtedly has
grabbed a big share of the daily
interest these days Remarkably
they have achieved it in the face
of some of the most critical times
In the life of the nation
Are the antics of the Russians
newsworthy? Only the Russian
"bear"
The sidewalk sage the other day
was discussing the cost of living
here on Main Street One listener
complained that prices were get
ting so high he just couldn't make
it anymore
The philosophical one said
"Aw don't worm there are more
important and bigger things than
money"
Finally exasperated the real-
ist said "There sure are My
monthly bills for instance"

Burros—
(Continued from page one)
The new colt as yet unnamed
is property of the Huntington's
dark-haired daughter Susan But
Susan isn't the only one who gets
scads of fun out of the tiny colt's
comical antics Linda Susan's
sister is scampering about half
the time playing with the new
member of 'the burro family So
is her brother John
Young John is especially atten-
tive to the new colt because
he recently lost one of his own
In fact he never got to see it
alive One day he saw his dogs
worrying with something near the
house and when he investigated
he found that his looked-for colt
had been still-born Either that
or animals had killed it The colt's
head had been chewed up so badly
John thought it was a dead cal
until he saw that it didn't have
cloven hooves Then he knew the
worst
The childreds grandfather Dr
Joseph G Breco bought the nine
burros in Laredo Mexico three
years ago and had them shipped
to the Huntington children Dr
Breco who lived in Ada is now
deceased
Mrs Huntington said the burros
were the last ones brought across
the Mexican border into the Unit
ed States that year Soon after the
burros were shippped to the Hunt-
ington ranch an embargo was
slapped on all livestock comnig
across the border at Laredo This
was because of a dreaded hoof
and mouth disease she said The
burros were never infected but
other stock along the border in-
cluding cattle she said had to be
killed
Mrs Huntington said she isn't
sure at this time whether the em-
bargo has been lifted or not
"The burros are a special
breed" she said "very small
because of the environment they
were raised in" They came from
the high mountain country as
far away as four hundred miles
below the border They have been
breeding for hundreds of years in
that high thin atmosphere They
would be a much larger breed if
they had come from lowlands
The burros have another trait
in co m mon besides periodic
mournful braying—they all love
cigarette butts They eat them with
obvious relish much as mules eat
corn
Asked if the Huntingtons intend-
ed to raise bu:ros for market Mr
Huntington shook her head "We
raise them more for fun than any
thing else Of course the chit-
dren may sell some eventually
but only the jennies and those
just for children's pets"
What 01 es Susan intend to
name the little black jack?
"We could call him Elvis" she
raid laughing "We haven't named
a one of our donkeys after Elvis
yet!"
