I'm a realistic play called THE Scout
To a reporter the doctor told how ne

In the course Of the play there Is scene
where the hero on a borse tries TO cross

bridge has been cut and the horse fails
through. the rider catching on the rail OF
the bridge or on the flooring, as he is
able. Or. Carver explained shat the morse
he generally used was half-trained Call-
fornia broncho called Little Bess." 1t Is,
OF course, impossible TO train horse
gradually TO such an act. The plunge
must be made at once. She now has
certain position which she takes Just as
the bridge Is about TO fall, and gets out or
the tank In a moment after she strikes the
water. The Doctor himself dislihes the
bridge performance, as he is frequently
bruised In catching the bridge.
Dr. Carvers reputation as champion
rihe-shot Of the world, and his life on the
plains at the time when he was known
among the Indians as the possessor OF the
spirit gun on account OF his being the
first man 10 ure n Winchester repeater
