BAKER & FOLSON flakers of Happy Homes Killed In the Saddle Arizona's Champion Broncho Buster Died As He Lived Daredevil "One Eyed" Riley is dead. He died, ns be had lived most of his life, in the saddle. Ho tvns the cham pion rider and broncho buster of the southwest. For several years be made bis homo near Phenlx, Ariz., and there a few days ago he was buried. His fu neral cortege was eminently fitting. An escort of nearly fifty mounted cow boys, n number of cattle kings, ranch ers ana citizens,, with no sound save the clatter of hoofs on the dry stony road, accompanied the champion to his grave. It is n remarkable coincidence tbat this champion rider should have been killed by a horse. Fearless to the point of recklessness, it was often said that "ho would some day be Injured. Riley himself had a premonition that he would meet his death in a struggle with a horse and had been heard to say that he could choose no better ending, and yet this conviction did not serve to make him cautious. He would perform feats whlph would pale the cheek of onlookers, and when remonstrated with he would laughingly say, "I'll not be killed until my time comes." The strongest admission ever gleaned from him -was after some daring feat, when some one would emphasize the danger he had incurred and reiterate to him the probable result of such reckless ness. "Yes, but it didn't happen." He was as much at home on a horse ns most men are on their feet, and for this very reason he could never realize what risks he ran. Every western man knows the dan ger of hard riding on "gopher" ground, and most of them avoid it. The ranges and desert land and even some of the ranch lands are perforated by the deep holes burrowed by these little animals which are to Arizona what tfie mole pest has been to Kansas. These cavi ties are easily discerned, even by moon light, and a careful rider can avoid them, but on n hard run it is impossi ble to detect them, and once a horse's foot has slipped into one the chances are ninety-nine to a hundred that both steed and rider will bo killed. W hile nldlng some cattlemen in herd ing last week, Itiley undertook to rope in soma or the wildest of the -herd which had strayed across to the rough ground. The cattlemen turned in their saddles tq watch the chase. Riley, with the cowboy yell, dug his spurs into the flanks of his horse, and with one bound ho was several lengths from his coin- pnntons and at a terrific speed ho was being carried toward the gopher ground. The only sounds were the clat ter of hoofs ns they fell on the hard soil and now mid then the yell of the cowboy. Fearing the gopher holes, the cattlemen called out to caution Riley. Either ho did not hear or his old fear lessness domlnntcd, for he did not slacken his speed, but ns the cattle moved farther nway urged his horse Hub is now under headway, and a rare opportunity is rffered to Pendleton people to get a set ot disiies ot iuu pieces of fine imported English made semiporceIain ware at bargain.

A. cloud of dust followed In bis path, and then In a moment It roll ed aside, and thecowboy and his horse lay prone upon the ground, with tho fore feet of the steed burled deep in a gopher hole the horse with a broken neck, the rider under him. All tho surgical skill procurable was given to Riley, but in vain. The crowds of cowboys and friends who had filled the hospital corridors during the night bade farewell to their comrade before sunrise. "One Eyed" Riley had taken his last ride, and Arizona had lost its champion rider. There were hundreds of men In the territory and in Califor nia, New Mexico'and Texas as well who, while not having tho sterling friendship of this cowboy, felt n keen loss in his death. Crowned heads of Europe bend condescendingly to. tho victorious Jockey, but In the fur south west the champion rider is a monarch In himself. lie may own nothing but his horse, saddle, bridle and spurs, but the best in every town is his to com mand. Uq can always make more than a living on n cattlo ranch. He is as necessary on the range as water In ttrid lands. When he enters a town, It. is soon noised abroad that ho will ride, and a freer tying or broncho busting lnvaria bly follows. If he wins the contest, he owns the town. When a man has be come champion at Phenix or Tucson, the whole territory knows him and swears by him. Then he goes to some roundup in Texas or New Mexico, and if he returns it is because ho haB won. Riley was an expert hunterand as sure a shot as ever brought down a coyote, and this despite the fact that he had but one eye. Because of this he was called "One Eyed" Riley. Years ago his name Jiad been William, but did you speak to a western man of Wil liam or even Bill Riley ho would fall to connect the name with the champi on rider. What accidcji had caused Riley, to lose his eye was quite as much a mystery as the rest of his life. He would laughingly tell twenty differ ent tales of it, but never allowed the subject to become too serious for a Joke. His favorite explanation and one which never failed to provoke great laughter from a westerner was, "I lost it looking for work in California." It took a bravo man to nuk further, for Riley had a way of using his one good eye to look a man through and through until, he was ashamed of himself. Mother boo. Motherhood is the noblest idea! of woman. The little girl whose doll i her delight la a mother at heart before she can walk or talk. The attribute remains and strengthens. In her wo manhood she is a mother not only to her children, but to ber entire family, To all essential ends she is a mother to ber husband himself. Very likely to the man she refused to marry she promised to be a sister, but to the man 'she did marry he became a mother without promising. Something, Indeed, of this maternal tendency enters into all her affections, into all ber reiatioBB of life.-Cardlnal Gibboua.
