and fright Of the campaign caused them
to forget the sharp admonitons Of
Omaha's cowboy mayor" and his bunch
Of home folks. But Jack Joyce OF North
Dakota blew In on cayusc, steering a
herd OF real Indians from Nebraska, and
forthwith there was something doing. The
natives we're obliged 20 sit up and take
notice. one wall street broker with a
sneer as wide as Nassau street, concluded
to show the westerner a trick OF two OF
metropolitan ways. Mounting an automo.
bile he turned on the smell and shot in the
direction of Joyce and his cayuse. Tho
auto grazed the rump Of the animal. In
stantly there was snort and a kick, but
the latter fell short. A volley Of bad land
epithets fell from Joyce. his lariat sailed
through the air and settled around the
shoulders OF the broker. A quick vigorous
jerk and Mr.. Broker was sprawlng on the
pavement.

Thirty bucks darted after him, all yelling.
