tnching q lot OF ordinary horses to a rickety
old coach and expecting the animals to run
peacefully along while the amateur cowboys
and Indians were shooting pistols and rifles
on every side. but they say that the real cause
OF the accident was the refusal of the brake to

tothe Wild West show In the first place as i'm
practicable. but the younger men were enthu-
sisstc over the project and carried the day.
