Govern ment officers, ' at the Instance of the j.ostoffice Inspectors, haw broken up 1 ha Ran Antonio cowboy factory which for the past two weeks has been doing a hind office business all over the United States.? For $3," according to the ad vertisement of the "factory." real cow boys would be made and placed on be "Great .Rincon Ranch." The receipts of the "factory'? from v aspirants for the whirling lariat and the lte on the range, according to the United States marshal's office,' reached several .hundred dollars a day. ,. Waa GetHrf lcb The "factory" comprised one man, Carl Smith, who had an office on Sole dad street A printed letter distributed and mailed by agents of Smith in the large cities, especially in the north and fast, served to bring in the dollars. The letter- read, in substance, that the great Rincon" 'ranch, near San Antonio as a matter of fact there Is no such ranch was In need of additional cowboys, and that energetic, strong young men, dif forent from the old-fashioned. Texas cowboy, were needed Good wages and comfortable quarters, In addition to the fascination of a life In the open, with all the adventures and pleasures of the range, were the Inducements.- Mr, Smith In his letters distributed In Chicago ap proached the prospective cowboy in this language: ' ' Would Send Fare. "Tour railroad fere will be in the neighborhood of $30 from Chicago.- We are so in need of cowboys that we are willing to advance you your railroad fare by return mail after- we receive from you a remittance of $2 as an evi dence of good aith on your part Send me the $2 and I will send you ticket f row Chicago to san Antonio. : f The idea of a cowboy factory, say the government officers after a talk with Smith, who is lodged In the BeStar county jail, originated In toe Interest maidens In the north are evincing in Texas cow boys. -Governor Campbell of Texaa'and Tostrnflster John J.

Urn way in which his letters met. wita. 12, responses It Is evident there' are many jouths whose ambition . is to .ride' the range and punch cattle. While the cow boy is still an institution In southwest Texas, he has practically disappeared from the vicinity , of San Antonio, the cutting up of the large cattle ranches into farms relegating him to the pases of fiction or history, or driving him to the still remaining , large ' ranches In northwest Texas, 1 t ' PICTURE FffltS Light Punishment Inflicted in , France Upon Painters of Fake Pictures.
