The Red Men.
Headed by their big chief Col. 81
Ryan in costume and mounted on a
magnificent horse the Red Men surpris-
ed every one by the appearance they
made in the grand parade. AS the last
OF the foreign floats passed many
thought that the parade was over when
a yell from down the street attracted
the attention to 81 Ryan and the Red
Men with their three floats. The first
float represented the Boston Tea Par
ty" and was boat occupied by about
a dozen Indians. The second float rep
resented an Indian wigwam occupied
by several braves. while the last float
carried Pocahontas, John Smith and
several braves. The whole of the Red
Mems exhibit was the finest ever given
by local parties and does great credit
to the lodge.
AS the last of the parade passed the
queens reviewing stand the crowd
started the confetti battle again when
three emigrant prairie schooners were
seen coming down Mesa avenue in
front of the Hotel Orndorff. In a mo-
ment half 4 hundred Indians mounted
,nd in,
with plenty of war paint dashed across
the street and attacked the train and
their shots attracted the attention of
the thousands OF people from down
near the midway who made mad rush
for the scene. Ladies near the battle
were badly frightened as the whole
thing was complete surprise to all.
After battle lasting fully five minutes
the mounted Indians won and forced
the train to fall in the parade under
guard
The whole thing was so realistic that
stranger stopping at the Orndorff
and who is on his first visit west of the
Mississippi river stated that he really
thought they were Indians and was al
most frightened out of his wits.

where an elegant Dutch lunch was

go and many spent the evening enjoy
