Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1896-09-18

that he had good stuff in him. He called
a meeting Of the ranclers in the country,
the sheriff was summarized. and With his
hand on his gun, R"reyclt practically
told that official hat he was a liar and
a horse thief. 1t was swift language to
use in this country. but the sheriff saw
that he was against q bad man, took his
medicine. and resigned. That was a big
feather in RooSevelpS cap. Prinr to that
he bad been regarded as Il New York dude,
who was all teeth and eyeglasses.
IN other ways he showed that the ways
OF the country were not rCO hard for him,
lie made it a practice to buy the buckiest,
ugllest COW ponies he could find in the
country. and when the s,oys kicked against.
riding such nasty beasts he would pick ont
the toughest n in the lot and ride it.
OFTEN he was thrown off, but eventually
smashed in by the first fall, but he said
nothing. and finally suhdued the brute. If
anew York dude could ride the horses the
cowboys argued that they should be able
to manage them.
IL was the same with shooting. Roose-
YET cannot see a dozen yards away with
out his eyeglasses. but he can do some
fancy shooting that would win applause in
a wild west show. He is not so good with
a revolver, but in long range work with
the rifle there is no man on the two
ranches that can beat him. He is a good
man at wrestling, and is handy with the
both sports. In friendly bouts he has
taken in some Of the biggest men on the
ranch, and has shown that he is NO tender
chicken.
These qualities have won him the re-
spect OF the community in which he is
now living. and they ale the only qualities
hat count for much in ranch life. A man
might be most estimable in many things.
put II he lacked courage and couldn't ride.
shoot, or fight, he wouldn't be thought
much of. 49,
Mr.. Roosevelt will emily stay here for a
rev weeks, and then he will 90 back to
New York again to compound new bomb
shells 'for the good of the force"
