Two rapid shots were heard in the early
part of the afternoon, and three young
men were observed to ride of hurriet;ly
through the brush. The shooting occurred
near the shed where the bufialos are kept,
and the opinion is general on the grounds
that the young vandals were trying to
kill the animals out of 4 spirit Of pure
wantOnness and mischief. 1t is supposed
that they fired through the cracks Of the
shed.
There was a good crowd present and
great interest was taken in the show Of
stock. During the morning, while one oi
the most popular men in this section Of
the state, and quiet young man who
drives the trotters Of gentleman con-
nected with the association, were showing
roadsters, double, there was, on the part
Of the crowd, a good deal more excitement,
than the occasion demanded. They seemed
to think that the horses which the young
man was driving belonged to him, while
in fact, they belonged to a very rich man
his employer, consequently when the com.
mittee tied the blue ribbon to the young
mans team the throng burst into ap-
plause.

not start.
