A Wasp Was the Cause.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Dr. Saw yer and Mrs. O. A. Hesla were out for buggy ride in West Prescott and as they were passing the Mercy hospital chatting about the new fall hats or something along that line, a wasp landed business end first on the gen. tie old buggy horse they were driv- ing, and those who have had dealings with wasps will understand the meth cd there was in his madness, and will not be surprised to know that within the three thousandth part of a second something was doing in that vicinity. The horse gave one furious switch of his tail and made a dash for the open country like a wild brnncho. The ladies let out a war whoop that would have made an Apache Indian green with envy, and both grabbed the lines to stop the poor suffering animal, and in their combined efforts they both got on one side of the buggy which caused spill, throwing both ladies out on the ground and slightly scratching and bruising them up but not seriously injuring them. After the horse had run a few yards one line got caught in the axel and pulled on one side until the horse had made sev- eral revolutions in fantastic imitation of merry go round and finally stop ped. Being of a kindly disposition the animal looked back on the havoc he had wrougGt-Hnd the ladies lying on the ground-and in a rather sham ed faced manner he walked back to them as gentle as lamb. The acci- dent was witnessed by some men who hastened to the scene and asst 'ted the ladies to get home. The harness and buggy are now being repaired.

Cowboy Tournament.

The cowboy tournament ended yes terday afternoon with exhibitions of skill in steer tying that will be hard to beat in any section of the country. The contest, under the management of Sheriff W. W. Cook, Jack Gibson and Oscar Roberts, was in every way a success, furnishing amusement for several thousand people.
 The imitation bull fights were as near to the real thing as it was possi- ble to get, with the brutality elimin- ated Both the bulls were in pretty good humor for doing business with toreadors who were not over anxious to come in contact with the vicious looking horns. Only one of the torea- dors reused the bulls ire sufficiently to get a whiff of the brute's breath. He was a small man, and when his bo- vine majesty tackled the red flag witt bis vicious toss of his shaggy head, the fellow lost his head and turned the wrong way, receiving several bruises and being knocked to the ground. He hurried to cover, how ever, and ever after gave the bull all the room he wanted. The other three were more skillful and at no time did they show the white feather-always the red flag.
 The second bull was very angry when the door opened, and he raised yell of delight from the audience by paving the earth and then making his tormentors hunt the guards. To the uninitiated this looked like dangerous sport. but the men in the pen did not seem to mind. Although this was nothing new to some of the specta- tors, it gave the tenderfoot an insight into what might be expected in a real bull fight.
 Charles Davis made a record for himself yesterday, doing the best work of the entire contest. He roped bis steer in .35 1-2 seconds, the best pre- viOus time being made by Wayne Davis, who tied his steer in 40, fiat.
 Prizes were awarded for the best time made in the two days contest, and Wayne Davis, roulette dealer, captured the firsit prize, his time be- ing II 1-2 seconds better than the sec- ond man. Oscar Roberts won the sec- ond prize, and Charles Davis, the third prize. Gazette.
