BOLD COWBOYS BATTLE
WITH POWERFUL STEER
Without Arms or Device of Any Kind
Finally Throws Beast With
Teeth

The great event at Cheyenne this
year was the remarkable feat Of
Will Pickett, negro hailing from
Taylor, Tex, who gave his exhibition
while twenty thousand people watched
with wonder and admiration a mere
man, unarmed and without a device
or appliance of any kind, attack q
fiery. wild-eyed and powerful steer
and throw it by his teeth. With the
aid of a helper Pickett chased the
steer until he was in front of the
grandstand. Then he jumped from
the saddle and landed on the. back of
the animal, grasped its horns and
brought it to stop within a dozen feet
By a remarkable display of strength he
twisted the steers head until it's nose
pointed straight into the air. the ami

Again and again the negro was jerked
from his feet and tossed into the air.
but his grip on the horns never once
loosened, and the steer failed in it's eff
forts to gore him. Cowboys with their
lariats rushed to Pickett's assistance
but the action of the combat was too
rapid for them. Before help could be
given Pickett, who had forced the
steers nose into the mud and shut
off its wind, slipped and was tossed
aside like a piece-of paper There was
g scattering of cowboys as he jumped
to his feet and ran for his horse. TAX
ing the saddle without touching the
stirrup, he ran the steer to a point
opposite the Judges stand, again jump
ed on its back and threw it, Twice
was the negro lifted from his feet, but
he held on with the tenacity of a bull
dog. Suddenly Pickett dropped the
steers head and grasped the upper Zip
of the animal with his teeth, threw his
arms wide apart to show that he was
not using his hands, and sank slowly
upon his back. The steer lost it's foot
ing and rolled upon its back, complete
ly covering the negroes body with its
own. The crowd was speeches. with
horror. many believing that the negro
had been crushed; but a second later
the steer rolled to it's other side, and
Pickett arose uninjured, bowling and
sniling.-1arper's Weekly.

PAT GROVE HAS
SURRENDERED
Alleged Kidnaper Of Young
Eddie Cudahy Walks Into
Newspaper Office in Omaha
NOW WANTS PROTECTION
Says He Served in the Boer
War and Has Since Lived
a Quiet Life in Chicago

OMAHA, May 6.-Pat Grove, the al
legged kidnaper of Eddie Cudahy, son
of the millionaire packer of Omaha,
and for whose arrest rewards aggre-
eating $50, 900 have at different times
been offered, walked into the office of
the World Herald at / o'clock this
morning, accompanied by Thomas
OBrien, proprietor of the Henshaw
Hotel of this city.
While there have been rumors of
Groves presence in the vicinity of
Omaha for several days, the rumors
were taken by the public in manner
similar to former reports and were
given little credence.
Grove telegraphed to the World-Her-
aid Office at midnight of his presence
in the city, and stated that he would
call at the newspaper office. A short
time afterward he appeared, in com
pany with O'Brien. Grove, O'Brien
and a representative of the World
Herald were closeted for nearly an
hour, during which time Grove told
of his wanderings since he left the city
four years ago.
Grove stated that he had served in
the Boer war, fighting with the Beers.
He returned to this country after the
war and has lived continually, accord
ing TO MS statement, quietly IN SOuln
side fiat in Chicago. He says he has
been in Chicago nearly three years and
that he has visited Omaha on three
different occasions during that time.
He stated that he had been nego-
tiating for several days for immunity
from punishment in case he should
surrender himself to the authorities,
although he declined to say with
whom the negotiations are being held.
He says he is tired of living in isola-
ton from his relatives and friends and
wishes to reform and get into bust
ness. He declared that he would ask
for immunity from the penitentiary
and stated that he was ready to ac-
cept the protection of the Omaha po-
lice He said that in case he was
permitted to remain in Omaha and
the indictments against him were
quashed, he would get into business
at once.
Grove was asked if he had a hand
in the famous Cudahy kidnapping, but
declined to either deny or admit his
guilt. During the interview Grove
was apparently i'll at ease.
Following the interview Grove left
for the home of his brother in Council
Bluffs. What action, if any, will be
taken by the authorities is not known.

Temptations Of Police Captains.

THE temptation Of police cap
tain,' says Commissioner McAdoo, lis
thousand times greater than that Of
any bank cashier In the world.
Temptation waits for him at every
corner. If you knew what assaults on
their characters they have to face you
would take off your hats to them. "
Rot. by his very Office the police cap
tain should be further removed from
temptation than nearly any class of
public official. Surely no other kind of
officer should have had more numerous
or intimate examples of the lesson that
the wages of sin is death Practical
ly the principal temptation he has is
the knowledge that he has a better
opportunity than any other class of
crook of escaping the consequences of
his crime.-New York Press.

the enactment of too many laws and
the enforcement of too few. The in

ENTERS THE CHINA SEA.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 5.-Ad-
miral Rojestvensky, according to a
naval authority, has sailed south to
meet the division of the Russian sec
Admiral Nebogatoff. The Admiralty
has informa ton that Japanese di-
vision of fast cruisers and torpedo
boat destroyers was sent south for the
purpose, if possible, OF Gripping or de-
stroying Nebogatoff's ships before
they could effect junction with those
of Rojestvensky and there is reason to
believe that the japanese took up a
position in the Straits Of Sunda,
through which Nebogatoff originally
intended to make the passage into the
China Sea. There is also reason to
believe that Nebogatoff first approach
ed the Straits of Sunda, but finding
them too well guarded, put about and
headed north for the Straits of Malac-
ca, his division lacking the protection
of fast cruisers and being at great dis
advantage in meeting torpedo-b boat at
tacks.
The Admiralty expresses much
qualification at the fact that Admiral
Nebogatoff has successfully reached
the China Sea, but appreciates that
the composition of his division rem
ders it particularly vulnerable to a
swift adversary, especially as the
crews of his ships have not had the
training in maneuvering or the target
practice which Admiral Rojestven-
sky's crews had while off the island of
Madagascar, and the anxiety here will
only be completely removed when it
is known that a junction has been eff
fected.
The Russ to-day announced that
Captain Clado has been made a staff
captain. Clado was Admiral Rojest-
vensky's chief tactician until the
North Sea incident. He recently was
appointed to special service in con-
nection with vessels navigating rivers
in the theater of war.
