There lies in the Oklahoma Wild West
camp at the Exposition a very sick wom-
an, who has a strange history. She is a
handsome and daring little Spanish wom-
an, 1.-the of form. regular features, with
flashing jet black eyes, dark hair and
bright and plump cheeks. She is only
twenty-three years old. and is a dashing
rider, a skiliul wielder of the lasso and a
dead shot with pistol or gun. Yesterday
afternoon this little woman, whose real
name is Susie Espinosta. rode bucking
ance at the park At the close of her act
she complained that she had been hurt
internally by the plunging of her horse,
and took to her bed. She was
soon in such agony that DIR. Ford
was sent for. He prescribed morphine to
ease her of her pain. When the effect of
the drug had worn off she commenced
crying and moaning again. To-day she
is much worse. Miss Espinosta is of pure
Spanish blood and an aristocrat in the
Wild West camp, feeling herself far
above the ordinary Mexican woman OF
the troupe. Four years ago her lover was
killed while engaged in smuggling horses
at Laredo and she was herself shot
through the shoulder, in a melee which
resulted Two years later, at a San An
tonic dance house, her brother was killed
She was told of it, and, rushing into the
midst of the crowd, shot three men who
had been concerned in the killing She
received at that time a second bad wound.

The Bear Paw mountains, 25 miles south Of Chi
nook have q number of beautiful agricultural
valleys, or basins, as they are termed there which
are being rapidly occupied by stock raisers. Re-
markable crops of the cereals and vegetables have
been secured in that section this season, ana
raised on sod, but as yet cultivation is rudiment-
ary, both in amount and manner Of operating.
The Bear Paw offers excellent shelter for stock,
and there is enough pine timber in the gulches to
supply the demand for building and fuel for some
time to come.
