WILD WEST RIOT
BUFFALO BILLS COWBOYS TER
RORIzE PRAIRIE DU CHEN.
TROOPS ARE ASKED FOR
Citizens Of the Historic City on the
Mississippi Badly Scared-Wire the
Governor That They Cant Find
the Mayor" and That police Are
POWerless."

| Buffalo Bills Wild West show gave
the historic city Of Prairie du Chen a
| touch of high life last night, and came
near putting the old town on the
! bum They Ftplugged'' three citizens
for a starter and had not the rest
taken to their cyclone cellars the coro-
ner of Crawford county would have
| been busy for a month to come. AS
| soon as an underground passage to the
| telegraph Office could be effected, the
| district attorney and half a dozen pri-
vate citizens took turns in wiring Gov
| ernor ScOfeld that more troops were
needed in Prairie du Chen than in
China or the Philippines. The first
| telegram was signed VIM. Evans "a
high private, probably in the rear
| rank and said: Buffalo Bills show
rioting here. Can't find the mayor.
Cribs indicates that the high and
mighty official got lost in the under
ground passage-way) Police power
less. (This sentence is thought to
mean that the officers were as badly
scared as Mr.. Evans.) Three. men
shot. (No reference is made to the
number that were half shot, Send
troops" w NJ. Evans.
Later o. B. Thomas, district attor-
ney, wired that the militia would re-
ceive a more hearty welcome at Prairie
du Chen than the allied forces re-
ceived from the Iegationers in Pekin.
Then it was Mr.. Evans turn again.
He said in his second telegram that he
would try and hold out without the aid
Of the troops. Mr.. Evans having had
two hearings, it was up to the district
attorney to send another message. His
second one was in cipher and though
rot in the official code is thought to
mean, Il didn't send the first one

Prairie du Chen, Wis, Aug. 90
Members Of Buffalo Bits Wild West
show initiated a short reign Of terror
here last night, during which several
fights occurred. The local officers were
unable to cope with COdy's cowboys
and for a time a state Of riot existed.
In the absence of the mayor, w. NJ.
Evans wired Governor Scofield for
troops to protect the citizens. His dis
patch said: Buffalo Bills show riot
ing here. Can't find the mayor. Po-
lice powerless. Three men shot Send |
troops" To this Col. D. B. Starkey, |
secretary to the governor, replied, say
ing that the governor was in West |
Superior. Other dispatches were also |
sent, then one by District Attorney o. |
B. Thomas. By that time the situa-
ton was considerably relieved and as
it became evident that the local au-
tnorities would be able to cope with
the rioters, the governor was again
wired to hold the troops till further
notice, and Mr.. Thomas wired that he
had not sent any call for help.
