From the Milwaukee Sentinel
European and eastern visitors to

for some time past existed between
Mr.. Reed, manager of the show, and
Col. zack Mulhall, who mas an inter

star performer in refined and cias-
sic steer roping act.
To the effete eastern mind the orr
gin Of Sunday nights bloodshed may
seem rather trivial, being differ

in her graceful demonstration Of how
to tie a steer in thirty seconds. But

WEST SIDE TALK.
Preis,nlng to Dunn ani Cross ard
Othsrs.


For piped hot air Farmer Doolittle
takes the bakery. The following
omnious political wrinkle comes from
his brain. There is nothing TO it.
Alva, Okla, June 8O--There is con-
siderable speculation in Woods coun-
ty as to whether or not Jesse J. Dunn
Of this city will allow his name to be
presented to the Democratic conyen-
ton at Oklahoma City in connection
with the nomination for delegate 30
congress. Regardless Of the fact that
Mr.. Dunn has never announced him
self as candidate for this position,
his friends have succeeded in launch
ing good sized boom for the former
president of the OEahoma Ban asso-
ciation. It was first thought there
would be no difficulty in having Mr.
Dunn declare himself to be a candi-
date after seeing a start for the nom
ination had been made. However, as
the time for the convention approaches
NO announcement has been given forth
and now his friends fear that he win
delay too long in presenting his name
4 to the Democrats Of the territory as a
candidate.
/ II must be remembered that Mr..
Dunn has the reputation Of being a
popular man in Oklahoma. During his
residence in Woods county he has
succeeded in making numerous friends
and il is stated that he mas also made
enemies. It IS considered questionable
whether these enemies would remain
inactive should Mr. Dunn declare him
self a candidate for the Democratic
nomination. Strange as It may seem,
the men who are unfriendly TO the
Woods county man are admirers OF
William Cross, the late Democratic
candidate for congress They feel
that Cross should have another
chance. They were not exactly salts
fed with the Cross vote in Woods
county and believe that a change for
the better could be made were Cross
