bareback, and gave them q fine chance to
show their skill as eguestrians, and it is
useless to say that they were wildly

THE WILD WEST.
Immediately after the races came the ex-
hibition by Fargo & Mitchell's Wild West
combination OF Indians and cowboys. To
say thst this exhibition was exciting
would be but tame way of expressing il.
1t was simply sublime and terribly Rails
tic in every detail, and fairly made ones
blood run cold and his hair stand up on
end TO gaze upon il. First on the program
csme the hall mile bareback race between
the Indians, after which came the pony ex-
press carrier, showing how the
mail used to be carried across
the unsettled west, when he
who carried il did not krov at what mo-
ment he might be attacked by the Indians
and killed or have a race for his life The
rendition of this was done to perfection,
the changing of horses being done In less
time by far than il takes to TIL il. After
this came the "buckipg bronchc," one of
the wild horses which the cowboys and To-
dams take delight in training. Ii is said
that this horse is the only one which ever
threw the colorsd man who rides it. Then
came the grand finale, the attack of
the wagon train by Indians, and the
subsequent rescue by the cowboys.
First comes the wagons, pur-
sued by the Indians who are yelling aud
firing their revolvers. They nearly over
take the wagons when they discover band
OF cowboys coming from the opposite direc-
ton. Indians show fight at first but the
Winchester sixteen repeating rifles are
too much for them and they beat a hasty
retreat, and are pursued by the cowboys
who shoot their rifles great deal faster
than person could count. Well
might Capt. Stephens caution the psople
not to get excited. If there is q man, wo-
man or child within the radius of two hun
dred miles who fails to see this exhibition,
they will certainly miss the greatest Oppor-
tunity of their lives of seeing just what
used 10 be daily occurrence ON the plains,
aud still be out OF harms way.
