MUCH EXCITEMENT CAUSED
AT WILD WEST SHOW

About six hundred people Witness
ed the informal program of broncho
busting, calf roping, bull riding and
lariat throwing contests at the fair
grounds on Saturday afternoon. The
advertised balloon ascension was not
pulled OFF. There were several inter-
esting events but such confusion
reigned at times that much was de-
tracted from the strength of the eX-
hibition. Two persons narrowly es-
capped being badly hurt. Mrs. Far
Ills who is daring and fearless
rider, was thrown or fell from her
horse and painfully bruised. Roy
Spangler. a fifteen-year old boy was
knocked down by a horse but, not
badly hurt. Several other accidents
were narrowly averted.
Something not on the advertised
program was the interference OF w
II. Callicotte, general officer OF the
state humane society. MIR. Calilcotte
branded the exhibition as brutal, cru
ell and inhuman. He insisted that
some of the horses were being pain
fully hurt by heavy spurs, jerks from
the lariats, etc, Some of the horses
were suffering, Mr.. Calllcotte reports
from bleeding sides. The officer al
so insisted that the lives of child
rem and grown people were beng Jeo-
pardlzed by the reckless riding and
driving. Mr.. Callicotte placed Fred
Gross, cowboy or tTultat ana an
other cowboy under arrest but af-
ter administering severe lecture to
each he released them. Mr.. Callicot-
te did not interrupt the performance
until near the end of the program,
but no further events We're given.
Mr.. Calllcotte stated this morning
that every effort would be made to
prevent a repetition of such an exhi-
bition in this or any other city or
town of the state. 1t is said that the
COW boys will give similar exhibit
tion at Delta Wednesday and II is
probable that efforts will be made to
arrest the whole crowd.
A great many COW boys took part
in the program Saturday and one of
the Brennan boys was in charge,
Some horsemen of the city who
were present declare that the horse
es were not painfully injured at any
time although the spurs often
brought blood to view.

Second section of No. 4, passenger
train, running almost entirely with
what is known as dead coaches, only
two tourist sleepers being in service,
was wrecked while running at a high
rate of speed, at lib this afternoon.
Just as the rear coach passed the
Columbine school house about five
miles from this city.
The train had seven passenger
cars, consisting of five coaches and
two tourist sleepers. In the two tour

passengers. Most of these passen-
gers were in the rear coach, Istlan.
which remained on the track, else
every one had been killed by the de-
struction wrought to the train.
Six coaches left the track, two OF
them broke from the rear four coach
and ties for a distance of over three
hundred feet on their side. The
trucks were torn of and the coaches
generally dismantled, while the track
is put out of commission for many
hours by the manner in which the
coaches tore up the ties and rails.
The train was what is known as
bers GA and 72O, being in charge re-
spectively of John Fuite and Engi-
neer Cutting. Conductor J. T. Lynch
was In charge of the train.
No person was killed but 1t is mir

Pocotella. Idakc, by name, Mrs. 3.
Cushman, was quite badly injured in
her left side by being thrown violent

are not considered at all dangerous.
She was brought to this city this af-
ternoon Immediately after the wreck
in a special train that had been sent
down, in which were the regular sur

Drs. Bull and aHnson, She was rest

was hardly worth mentioning.
Every one of the coaches that was
wrecked, turned turtle complete

A reporter for the Sentinel was on
the ground within fifteen minutes af-
ter the wreck, going to the scene in

advance any definite reason for the
disaster, save that the tire of the
drive wheel on the rear engine OF
the double header had slipped thereby
spreading the rails, causing the wreck
An examination was made of the sec
ond engine and II was found that
the side of the drive wheel gave the
fullest evidence of the slipping of the
tire.
For the distance of a quarter of a
mile the track is literally torn to
! pieces. Rails were torn complete
ly from their fastenings and hurled
beside the track, some of them We're
twisted and were pushed beneath
other rails, The ties showed the
terrible grinding of the iron wheels
for considerable distance. Scatter
ed beside the track there were gas
tanks torn loose from their fasten-
ings and what would have been the
consequences had the train ben run

but it is almost certain that the gas
tanks would have exploded and the
cars set on fire, turned and twisted

Railroad men who have seen many

miraculous that every person on the
train was not killed. Some surprise
is expressed that the engines did not
leave the track This Is easily ac-
counted for, as they had passed over
