The work Of e. NJ. Russell, the cowboy
artist, always attracts attention IN Helena.
Tw" of his most recent productions are
now on exhibition in the window of the &.
X. Wells Co. ON Main street. One is "A
scene ON the range and shows two cowboys
chasing II wild steer. One OF the riders is
standing in his stirrups with his lasso
poised for q throw. The other rider is "A
little in the rear. ready to take II hand il
his comrude misses. In the distance the
herd is seen held by two cowboys. The
picture of the steer is very liie-like, as are
the two riders, and the bunch grass. The
one fault is the unnatural attitude Of the
most prominent horse. The other picture
is an Indian scene aud is one of the best
things Rt3ssell has done. The %coloring is
perfect and indicates what the artist can
10 when ne puts his soul into his work.
An Indian family is on its travels and the
buck is away looking for game. His
squaw, with two or three pappooses, has
stopped on "a knoll, and standing ON her
ponies back and shading her eyes with ont
hand, she is anxiously looking for her miss
ing lord. Close by are two Indian dogs
while q pony is quietly feeding. The sun is
lust going down and over the whole is Il
reflection al old Sol seen only on the bench
lands ia Montana. The tepee poles drag
ging behind the horses, and the Indian cos,
TUNES are true to nature, while all the little
details are worked in so quietly, but SC
distinctly, as to appeal to any one who
has ira yel+d among the red men. Tbs
