THE WILD WEST.
4 Another Very successful Exhibition Hes'
/ terday.


Another Very successful Exhibition Hes-
terday.
The Buffalo Bill Wild West Combination
gave another verysuccessful entertainment
At the New Fair Grounds yesterday after
noon to an audience numbering about SIX
thousand. Mr.. Cody appeared, as was an
nouncsd, but he was suffering such pain
from his injured limb as to oblige him to
limit his part in the programme to some
choice rifle practice on the track in front
of the grand stand. Mr.. Cody was Obliged
to use Clutches in going about, and his
condition elected general sympathy.
Wheeling is evidently an unlucky town
for the Wild West. When here two years
ago the Desdwocd coach upset and .
venturesom reporter or two occupying
it had close call, on Monday Mr.. Cody
was hurt, and yesterday three more acct
dents occurred. American Horse, the
head Chief of the Sioux, was badly injured
while riding around the grounds early IN
the entertainment, and later, during the
scene where the Cowboys lasso and ride the
Texas cattle, two of the men were badly
hurt, while a third had narrow escape
from being gored. an angry steer Just
grazing him with its horns as it charged
over him as he lay on the ground. One Of
the mounted men was holding steer BY
the horns when the beast broke loose
knocked the man down and tramped him
in the back, causing the victim to spit
blood proiussly and evidently inaictini
serious internal injury. A few moments
later another cowboy was kicked in th'
stomach by steer and very badly hurt
Both had to be assisted to camp, Wher'
they received attention.
The combination left for Cumberland
last night, whete they show today.
