BUFFALO BILL
WILL NOT PARADE
But His Organization VIII Afford
an Unusual Street Scene When
1t Arrives in This City.

One of the strangest sights that
our streets have ever presented will
/ be seen on the morning that Buffalo
Bill's Wild West appears in this
city. The engine and cars which
will be used in the production of
The Great Train Hold,Up' will be
taken through the streets from the
railroad train on. the exhibition
grounds under the engines own
power. The train viii 6A escortes
by the original bandit-hunters. some
of whom participated In the very
train hold-up at Wilcox, Wyoming,
upon which Buffalo Bills present
production is based. In planning
for The Great Train Hold-Up" the
management experienced great diff
Guilty in providing for an engine, as
it would be quite impossible to
transport a real locomotive from
town to town and use it in the exhi-
bition. 1t is a peculiar fact in pre-
senting scene typical Of the print
tive West that the latest invention of
modern. civilization was called upon
to solve a difficult problem. An
electric dray. used originally in
transporting merchandise through
! the city streets, was called into
requisition, as the basis for Buffalo
Bill's mimic locomotive. The wheels
of the truck, reconstructed to suit
the purpose, form what are the
driving wheels of the real locomo-
/ tive. Upon this basis a superstruc-
ture was erected in imitation of a
| practical locomotive The inventive
ingenuity of the Yankee provided
the engine with an appliance which
emits black smoke with the loud
| putting noise of real engine There
is a whistle and bell, an electric
headlight of great power, and the
engineer, seated in the cab, operates
the engine and all of its appliances
after the same manner that the rail-
road engineer controls his iron
horse. 1t can readily be imagined
that this imitation locomotive, draw
ing its cars, escorted by a company
of sheriffs, United States marshals
and bandit-hunters, assembled in the
West, will present an unusual sight,
surprising as a novelty in street
pageants anything ever provided by
any exhibition, in this or any other
country.
Add to this strange spectacle the
sight of band OF Indians and the
large contingent of horsement with
their accoutrements riding to the
grounds, one can form. a better idea
of what may be expected in the per-
Torrance given by Buffalo Bill than
could be gained from street parade
as it is ordinarily constituted. When
the pharaphernalia and horsemen ar
rive at the grounds the public will
be able to witness an equally unus-
ual sight in the erection of the
Indian tepees. and the work of pre-
pairing the arena for the exhibition.

Tommy Manwaring, their chief Oe

Matamoras was incorporated a short

pinned tin plate on his chest and pre-
sented him with sapling, the chief
was directed to keep his eye peeled for
Violations of the speed limit ordinance!
Nothing but lightning'll get by me-"
was Tommy's reply. Then he sat down
by the roadside and waited. His first
chance came the other Sunday, when
he waved his magic wand and brought
to a sudden stop a machine In which
was seated Under Sheriff Hook and d
party Of ladies' and gentlemen from
Orange county.

back the flap OF his coffee sack and
showed his junk.

said one OF the auto party. I'VE didn't
think we were going so fast. win you
kindly permit as to take the ladies' as
far as the bridge? They want to take

with us and bring us back"
Chief Manwarings gallantry asserted
itself, and he climbed into the "Phew'
wagon. To his, amaSement the machine
did not stop when II reached the bridge
and before Tommy was aware Of 1t he
was In New York state Then the oc-
cupants of the auto requested him to
jump out and run along behind.
