Winter? ■’h/; . t . f

annual contest of the famed Mad-
isonville Sidewalk Cattlemen’s As
sociation, the outfit that regu
lates boot-wearing in Madison
county. You can’t come around
Madison county in hoots unless you
own cattle. Fellows that break
this law get dipped in one of two
horse troughs on the shady court
house square of this East Texas
town/
Vi
"We dipped a few strarwers the
other day/’ Dr. J. P. Heath, presi
dent of the ilsociation said today.
"Needed potH troughs."
Lata year the association held a
contest to pick the out-of-state
war veteran who hated Texas most.
Ray Halloran of Cincinnati won
and/was feted all over the Lone
■ State. When he was safe back
e he said he hadn’t changed
is Blind.
This year, |the cattlemen are look
ing for the most weathebeaten
cowboy in the United States.
“We heard all about those bliz
zards they had through the west,”
said the tall, booted. Dr. ellath.
“We figured to give some pore
old cowboy who fought snowdrifts
all winter a real sunny vacation.”
“We’ll fly him to .Texas and see
that he gets around the state. We
will set him up with some high-
cotton entertainment. He’ll be hon
or-guest at our annual barbecue
June 2.”
So just write, your hard-winter
story to Dr. Heath, attaching your
picture. *•* \
But get this: “We don’t Want
slicker cowboys from New York,
Boston or Cleveland,” said the doc
tor. “The winner has to ride in our
annual rodeo and if Ke can’t ride
we don’t pay his way home.”
Thfe cattlemen are also flying
Miss BeBe Shopp of Minnesota,
the current Miss America, to Mad-
isonville for their rodeo.
“We don’t care if she can ride
or not,” Dr. Heath said.

AUSTIlJ, Tox.—MP) —Just like
Jesse James sajd, seardhers found
no treasure near Zanesville, Ohio,
yesterday. ! I
A man here who claims to be
the famed train robber of the
1870s and 1880s, sboffed early
yesterday when told that a group
was hunting for a Jesse James
cache near Zanesville. The,man is
listed as Frank Dalton.
And just like Dalton—or James
—said, the people at Zanesville did
not find any treasure. The mine
detector they used didn’t even op
erate when it got to the area.
John s Trahimel, who claims to
be, 109 years old and a former slave,
had a ready explanation for re
porters who wondered What hap
pened to: the mine detector.
“James, told his hoys that some
day they’ll have a gadget to find
buried treasure," Trammel s&id.
“He told them that he’d bury the
treasure so no gadget would ever
find it.” ,
Thq group started the hunt yes
terday , in an area where James
reportedly cached $1,500,000 in
stolen wealth.
Yesterday, the Austin man pre
dicted they wouldn’t find the cache.
Until recently, Dalton ha? been
on the - Texas Confederate veteran
pension rolls as Frank Dalton, but
asserts he is really Jesse James.
Dalton returned to Lawton, Okla.
several months ago and was au^
tomatically dropped frojm the
as Confederate pension list
he left Texas.
He came back here to yisjf/ fela
tives and became ill with /pneumo
nia. He was under an oxygen tent
at Breckenridge hospital yesterday
but still was lively enough to scoff
at the treasure hunters.
Ex-Convict to Til
OKLAHOMA CITY, March 16-
i/pi—The defense opened its main
legal batteries yesterday to shVe
Roy Frank God bey from death in
the electric chair.
The 53-year-old ex-convict’s law
yer conceded he shot down At
torney Earl Pruqt last January.
But they contend he was out of his
mind at the time, brooding and
embittered by a false imprison
ment of 17 years, j /'
Their insanity defense gave the
trial unusual speed as there was
almost no cross-examination of $1
witnesses. ,
The trial opened Monday morn-
