HIS SHOOTING BEGAN IN EARLY LIFE
On the Kansas plains among the buffalo,
antelope and bear then found almost every
where in that section, and has since ex-
tended to the jungleS OF India where his
unerring rife has caused the sudden decease
of many lion and tiger and the smaller
animals still SO plentiful in the remote
parts Of those countries. Some years ago
he conceived the idea of putting together
an entertainment descriptive of the wild
Western life. and formed a c0partnership
with Colonel w. Cody buffalo Bid, with
whom he organized the original wild
West" which visited the principal towns
and cities Of the United States and the
Canadas. but as the doctor and the colonel
had different ideas as TO the manner in
which tile business should be conducted, the
doctor seeded from the organization for the
purpose OF making new one, which under
the title of wild America" has already be-
come more celebrated than any amusement
organization eXer known.

playwrightS, and had play constructed
called The Scout" in which his company
of Western men, women and children, cow
boys, Mexicans and Indians took the char
acters and appeared upon the stage of the
Alexandra Theater in Melbourne. This
