TEN CUMBERLAND EVENING TIMES, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1931. OLD 101 WESTERN SHOWJ UNDER HAMMER WORLD'S WHEAT KING WINS WOKLB CRUISE Chicago, Feb. 13, Herman Trelle, wheat king whose domain lies in the Peace River countr near Wembley. Alberta, has won a trip around the world on the liner Empress of Britain for pushing Canada's wheat lint! 1 700 miles northward, according to an announcement made at the recent Chicago Hay and Grain Show, where Trelle won the spring; wheat prize and six other prizes. As Canadians had hitherto specialized in winter wheat, Trelle's capture of the spring wheat prize has the Dominion farmers that they have neglected an important seasonal crop.

Trelle is the largest registered seed-grower in the world. UNTITLED ROMANCE Ponca City. Feb. 13 (iNSi One of the last stands of western: romance, the Miller Brothers 101 ranch, from which emanated the! famous circus of the same name, is about' to go under the sheriff's hammer due to foreclosure proceedings. The ranch through its circus and I through its own spectacular attract-! ions had for years made and Indians familiar figures ughout the United States.

For years the circus flourished and the three Miller brothers, Col. ON ROYAL ROAD TO Joe Miller, Col. George Miller anc' Col. Zack T. Miller, became nation' ally famous.

With the circus and other holdings the Miller brothers fortune was built. Reversals, brought on by a dwindling popularity in the circus in recent years, and the deaths of two of the brothers Col. Joe and Col. George, and the carrying on oi the many ranch activities, tleply into the Miller fortune and! the foreclosure proved Last year the circus did not even go on the road. Col.

George Miller, the business manager of the Miller interests died in 1929. Col. Joe Miller, who looked after the circus and the public attractions at the ranch, died in 1927. This left Col. Zack T.

Miller the remaining brother, to carry on. The Miller brothers at one time had 110.000 acres in their ranch, part of which was leased from the governmsnt. At present the ranch consists of 17,400 acres. In 1906 the three Miller brothers established their circus in an attempt to preserve the romance of the Old West. The Circus at one time had troupers, including about 1,000 cowboys and cow-girls i and 600 horses, many of which' were bucking bronchos.

A feature of the circus was Col. Joe Miller's diamond studded saddle containing 246 diamonds. Col. Miller had read that Napoleon hadj had the finest saddle in the world, and he made a trip to Paris to view! the saddle in a museum. He then had a finer one made.

The show was discontinued in 1914 becase so many of the cowboys went to war. It was 1924 before Indians and cowboys could be assembled again for the circus, The organization toured the country for several years. Despite a dwindling popularity it staged on the -road until last year. Col. George Miller was one ofj Oklahomo's pioneer oil developers.

He is said to have assisted many famous oil men including Lew Wentz, the Phillips brothers, Frank. L. E. and Waite, Harry Sinclair and E. W.

These manufacturers declare that American film corporations in London, compelled by law to handle a proportion of British fllms, are refusing to accept those made by British apparatus.

The "Kinematograph Weekly," the leading trade paper, also states that British film, just made with an excellent recording process invented by two London engineers, has been rejected by an Jting corporation because the The director has these barefoot maidens literally going around in circles as they rehearsed for the beach pageant in the opening outdoor program of the winter season at a fashionable Santa Monica, club.

Revolvers Recall Manhunt For The Espinosa Brothers Denver, Feb. 13 recent to the southward, after a spirited acquisition by the Histor- defense with his rifle. ical Society of the two old cap-and- ball revolvers usjsd by the Espinosa brothers recalls the exploits of those gangsters of territorial days.

The brothers came from old Mexico. Riding into Colorado Territory where the settlements in the mountain region were located early in 1863, they began a series of killings which gave them a short but sinister notoriety. They came like angels of death, shot their victims from ambush and passed on their way unseen and unheard, and they moved so fast on their tough Mexican ponies that for a long time they preceded the tales of their deeds. They committed their first murder on the headwaters of Hardscrabble Creek in the Wet Mountains some miles south of Canon City, where shot an elderly man named William Bruce from the shelter of some brush as he stood in the door of, his sawmffl. Their next victim was Henry Harkens, whom they shot and hack- Several months later the younger bandit returned to Colorado with the son of his dead brother, a lad in his teens, and they took up once more the murder trail.

This time the federal government tok a hand, offering a reward of $1,500 for the Mexicans, dead or alive. Tom Tobin, a scout, a veteran of the fur-trading days and all-around frontiersman of note, set out from Port Garland, some authorities say alone, others that he had the help of a few cavalrymen. After a long hunt, he saw smoke arising from a clump of trees in the foothills which -flank the great valley of South Park. Ravens were circling over the vicinity. Tobin felt sure that a meal was being pre-1 pared, and he crept up with great caution to size up the situation.

Ati WISDOM TOOTH AT 64 London The older a man gets the wiser he is supposed to become. That's evidently true, for Sir Henry Lytton, 64, recently cut a wisdom tooth. The cutting, was very for his gums shrunk so tight around the tooth that it had a hard time coming through. the fire, toasting deer meat, he saw the men he was seeking. The elder fell at his first fire, and the youth in attempting escape was also shot down.

A few days later Tobin appeared roccss it British. It is claimed that the German- American agreement creates a monopoly or foreign patents over a large portion of British fllms, and robs fllms made under British patents of their lair market in their own country. The matter is to be raised at once in Parliament, Jind the Board of Trade is believed tp be favorable to taken at the some action being earliest moment. BICYCLE MAWS A.

The contractors are mad because the area dug out is "squeezing" which means twice the timbering! usually used.

No effort has been! made as yet to extract single pieces to show the length of the timbers. Workmen have cut through more than 200 feet of the petrified forest; and have not reached the end of the formation.

Police took the rifle a breast pocket He was able to describe them. Penetrating Into South Park they came to the vicinity, finally, of California Gulch where they killed two residents of that camp, by name of Lehman and Seyga.

This enraged the miners there. Seventeen citizens, under Capt. John McCannon, shouldered their rifles and began the hunt for the murderers. After much scouting and trailing they cornered the Espinosas in a gulch near what is now Espinosa Peak. There they killed the elder two, while the other escaped mandant there for some proof ofj Espinosas death, he took a sack from i under his arm and rolled out upon the table before the astonished officer the bloody head of the elder bandit, explaining at the same time that he had neither the horseflesh nor the time to bring in the body.

The motives of the Espinosas are a matter of doubt. Some authorities say that a document was. found among their possessions after the death of the first one purporting to be articles of agreement between the brothers to kill 600 white men in revenge for losses of property and money incurred during the Mexican War. Another pioneer writer states that they were religious zealots. Neither of these theories is accepted as the likely one.

The theory 'of robbery and hatred of "gringos" is possibly the correct one, but as the pioneers were poor men on the average, the lot of the depredations was of little value. by Nussbaumer Will Undo Much Evil By Dr. W.
