John Wayne’s
horse lives life
in Texas style
United Press International
MIDLOTHIAN — Five years af
ter John Wayne’s death, the horse
which starred with him in a string of
movies still gets excited when he
hears recordings of “The Duke.”
Dollor, a 17-year-old chestnut
quarter horse, lives in semi-retire
ment on Howard and Debra Keffel-
er's 7-acre ranch in Midlothian, 20
miles southwest of Dallas. There, he
relaxes in a stall about three times as
large as that of most horses and
dineson imported alfalfa.
“Dollor is a movie legend just as
much as John Wayne was," Mrs.
Keffeler, 31, who manages Double
I)D Western Wear in the Dallas sub
urb of Duncanville, told the Dallas
Morning News. “A cowboy is not a
cowboy without his horse. T hey’re
both my heroes.”
Dollor was owned by Dick Webb
Movie Productions, but Wayne was
so fond of him, he drew up an exclu
sive contract that forbade anyone
else to ride him.
Dollor appeared in the movies Big
Jake, The Cowboys, Rooster Cog-
burn, Chisholm, Train Robbers and
TheShootist — Wayne’s last film.
Dollor’s heyday came in T he
Shootist when Wayne interceded on
his steed’s behalf and changed the
script so he could mention Dollor by
name several times.
Keffeler describes Dollor as bul
lheaded and independent but lov
able.
"1 asked Dick Webb why John
Wayne particularly liked him, and
he (Webb) made the remark that
their temperaments were a lot alike,”
she said.
Although Dollor gets along with
other horses, his past sets him apart,
she said.
“Hejust more or less runs herd on
them — they don’t get by with any
thing,” she said.
“He’s a different type horse. For
one thing, he’s older than the rest of
my horses. And thev haven’t trav
eled as much as he has. He’s got a
mind of his own.”
It takes a special kind of horse to
work in movies, Keffeler said.
“Dollor was ridden hard, and
John Wayne shotguns off him while
riding him,” she said. “Dollor still
gets excited when he hears John
Wayne’s voice, and people every
where just want to touch him.”
Keffeler, who is Dollor’s third
owner since Wayne’s death, got in
terested in the horse when she
tied him during a western wear
spot
snow at the Dallas Apparel Mart last
year.
“I thought Dollor should live in
Texas in me open air like an animal
and not be traipsed across the world
like a freak in a side show,” she said.
Keffeler got financial backing
from two investors in North Dallas
who are avid Wayne fans, and soon
the horse was prancing in her North
Texas pasture.
Occasionally, she saddles him up.
but, as a tribute to Wavne, she does
not let anyone ride him.

Marijuana second largest cash crop in U.S.
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Americans
grew and harvested a record 5d6.6
[billion worth of marijuana in 1984
and the illegal pot was the top cash
crop in 10 states, the National Orga-
Inimion for the Reform of Mari-
Ijuana Laws said Tuesday.
NORML, which advocates remov
ing criminal penalties for marijuana
use, annually estimates the size of
the U.S. marijuana crop.
“The two most important trends
last year are the increase in indoor
cultivation of marijuana and the in
crease in the number of people
growing marijuana for their own
personal use,” said Kevin Zeese, ex
ecutive director of the group.
Zeese estimated that 25 percent of
the marijuana grown in the United
States is now grown indoors either in
greenhouses or under grow-lights
and that of the 30 million estimated
marijuana consumers, one in 10 now
grow their own.
NORML said that 1984 also
marked the first time more than half
of the marijuana used in the United
States was domestically produced.
Zeese said that NORML’s survey
also indicated that marijuana was the
second largest cash crop in the
United States, f alling behind the $20
billion corn crop-
