going to the White House in body,

an hour in western style. In the party

Leppla and Jesse Driscoll, who owned
ranches along the Little Missouri ad-
joining that of Mr.. Roosevelt. when he
was raising cattle near Medora, N D.,
In 1888 and 1884 1t was hard to tell
whether the President or the cowboys
derived the most pleasure from the
visit.
The reception tonight resulted from
the presentation TO young Theodore
Roosevelt by the cowpunchers of one
of their finest horses and a complete
riding outfit, consisting OF saddle.
bride, chaps and slicker. While Theo-
dore was with the cowboys at the ball
park yesterday afternoon he took q
fancy to gray horse belonging to
George Fuller of Deadwood. When the
cowpunchers heard of 1t they "chipped
in and bought the horse and outfit and
gave them to the boy after the show
at the ball grounds to-day. Captain
Bullock made the presentation speech
Said he:
Ted: take great pleasure IN presenting to
