The Cowboys Carried Their Mascot-An
Attempt Suicide.
A little t~hree-year-old negro was the
centre of an excited group of cowboys and
steamship officials at the Hamburg dock,
at Hoboken, yesterday. He had a pleas
ant face. as black as the side Of the
steamer, and black crisp wool on the top
of his round little pate. 1I
The cowboys were entreating and the
officials seemed obdurate. The little boy
sat OF a bale of merchandise and kicked
his little heels into it. He was not lone
so Il e for he was sucking a chunk of candy
as big as his fist. By his side with her
fingers in his wool, sat an enormous
squaw. Ix
She had made up her mind that the boy
was going. and the captain of the steamer.
q kind hearted man, ultimately consented
to take the youngster along with him, and
the howl of delight that went up
from the Threats of the Indians and COW
boys proved c~onclusively that the child
was a fayorite. He was the mascot
that Carver & Whitney's Wild West
show has picked up in Detroit. The show,
which is expected to beat Bill Cody's, is
due in Berlin July l..
