FROM COLORADO.

peared somewhat as it did thirty
I've years ago, and while these cow
bows were some Whas tanner than
they were then, still there was
! enough life in this meeting to give
; a tenderfoot some idea of what from
tier life was, and ls now away out
here where very little of the coun-
try a ever be put under cultfva-
ton. Hence the stockmen will for
ever control this country. The rid
ing aud roping contest was the best
| eve witnessed in that there were
more cowboys and Indians taking
part in 1t. There were forty wild
steers turned loose al one time in
the big amphitheatre in front of the
grand stand, and that many cow
boys all turned loose at one time
after them, and in all this mad rush
amid the din of the most unearthly
yelIs II ever heard, not a man or
morse was hurt, and in about two
or three minutes the last n of the
forty steers lay tied, hOg-fashi0n,
on the ground. These old cow-pe-
MES seem to have as much sense
about this business as the boys who
ride them.
| spent five years in Arizona Ter
! ritUrv and there became accustomed
TO seeing cowboys and Indians and
there / picked up a few important
Indian words and up here at Chey-
enne | went round to their teepees,
smoked the pipe with them, shook
hands, and they patted me on the
shoulder and said, wand unbra, -
which means good man. These
Indians were paid so much for
their war dances and the pony
races they engaged in for the amuse-
ment of the spectators, and after
each of their performances the man
ager of the frontier show had to
take the Indians money right to
him. Indians don't wait for the
show to get over with like other
people and then settle up, but he
must be paid right at the moment
he finishes bis work and this the
management OF the frontier show
understands. The squaws and their
little all ode in the horse
races, and one of the squaw's horses
fell down in a race with her and She
was carried off the track unCOn
science, but soon revived and rode
next dav. ! greatly enjoyed once
again mixing and miugllng with In
7 dams and cowboys and IT kinder
brings to me the old feeling that
would like To see them Oftener.
There is "A frep-aud-easy about TINS
western frontier life that most men
when they once taste il never for
get it and love it, we'll ! reckon.
