NOVEL WILD WEST STUNTS.
COwman Catches a Vicious steer with His
Hands at the Brighton Beach SHOW.

The capture Of a vicious Texas longhorn
by a man, barehanded, furnished the climax
Of a thrilling performance last night at the
first exhibition OF the Miller Bros.
-iOl Ranch Wild West show at Brighton
Beach.
Long" Lloyd Seeley Of Montana was
the cowman who turned the trick. Cutting
out from the herd a big black steer with
horns four feet wide, Seeley chased him
around the arena until his horse was run
ming neck and neck with the longhorn.
Then leaning over and seizing a big horn
in each hand, Seeley leaped from his saddle
and threw all his weight on the steers head.
The beast dragged him some distance
before he stopped. Then came irregular
Quo Vadis struggle in which Seeley won
by flooring the longhorn. Seeley limped
when he left the arena. .
Another feature Of the show was the round
ing up of the herd Of sixty Texas steers
and the roping and throwing Of certain
animals for. branding. There were also
an Indian buffalo hunt, the riding OF some
razor backed, rangy steers that bucked
devilishly and pitching horses and other
familiar Wild West stunts.

In committing Smith the Recorder said:
