A NOVELTY 'INDICT TWO
Something New In
Bareback Riding Will
Be Seen Here

AT last novelty has arrived in the
way of bareback riding. 1t even goes
SO far as to interpret a dramatic
sketch a-horseback. To the great
Adam Forepaugh and Sells Bros. Cir
Gus is due this refreshing innovation.
A gaily dressed and buoyant party of
young people on their way to the
"French Derby" in a radiantly fash
ionable park drag drawn by four spir-
tied horses, are the participants in
this unique and thrilling act. These
smartly gowned young people perform
wonderful feats in an apparent spirit
Of youthful abandonment. They toss
each other FROM the farthest seat of
the splendid trap to the foremost
horses back with the graceful ease Of
a twirling ball, and revolve from each
others heads and shoulders to an up
right position upon the swiftly NOV
ing vehicle or horse. They pass each
other high in the air in twisting
evolutions from wagon to horse and
horse to wagon. Gymnastic turns
of che utmost difficulty and rarity are
enacted by them in these hazardous
positions with the same graceful ease
and nicely of precision that charac-
terize the most thrilling work OF
world-renowned performers upon the
secure foundation Of the ground. This
act is distinctly new and sensational
ly startling, and is called s"On the
Way to the Grand Prix Race, Paris. /"
Will exhibit here Friday October 10.

shaft of the company is now down

between 500 and 700 feet. A gaso-

REPORTS SEEING
A WILD MAN

A prospector by the name of
Smith landed in Tonopah yesterday
with story for which he is willing
to swear veracity. He says there is
wild man roaming the desert be-
tween this city and old Belmont
who is as weird and strange a crea-
ture as the eyes of man could fall
upon.
This wonderfully odd and amaz-
ingly peculiar creature is covered
with hair as are the lower animals
He is over six feet in height and ap-
pended to him is busy tail that
sweeps the ground. At the first
sight of a well trained human be-
ing, he runs like mad to the hills
as do wild horses. In fact, he is
usually seen grazing on the desert
bunch grass with the horses of the
plains. The latter seem to con-
slider him one Of the flock and run
as fast as they will, Mr. Man is
right there with them.
Mr.. Smith claims to have seen the
wild man several times during his
recent prospecting trip. He will
endeavor to trap him.

EARLY LOCATIONS
in The WALKER

Among the fortunate ones attend
ing the opening of the Walker In
dian reservation were G. E. Gavin,
L. F. Cupid Clemens and George
(Pinto) Allen. The gentlemen have
Just returned from the reservation,
where they located seven claims
west of Reservation hill in the
Mountain View district.
On each of the claims there is a
splendid surface showing. One ledge
which traverses the group is five
feet in width and pans well in gold
other and smaller ledges traverse
the ground, which carry good values
in the yellow metal.
The property of Mr.. Gavin and his
associates adjoins the extension of
the Willis property, considered one
of the best holdings within the for
mer lines of the reservation.
A townsite to be called Reserva-
tion Hill is being surveyed prepara-
tory to placing lots upon the mar
ket. A good sized camp has already
sprung up there which has for its
backing an extensive mineral area
rich in gold, silver and copper.
