The Big Show Coming to
 Brinkley.

Announcement has been made of the appearance in this city on Oct 22nd of the 1O1 Ranch Wild West Show, which is probably the most remarkable travelling tented amusement organization of the country. Every member of it is a resident of the 100. GOO acres of prairie the Millers own and operate at Bliss, Okla. One of the advance representatives characterizes it as the 101 Ranch transported in miniature for a day to this city,
 The Millers are undoubtedly the most famous cattlemen of the great southwest. There are three of them and they started with a homestead allotment of 16O acres when the Cherokee strip was opened to settlement Joe Miller made the run and planted his flag of ownership on the banks of the Salt Fork, a slender tributary of the Ark ansas River. Today the Miller holdings include three towns and parts of three counties, and some European prlnclpallues would be lost in the vast l0l Ranch area. Here remain the wild buffalo, the cowboy and the cowgirl in their pristine glory, and here the Indian still smokes, undisturbed, in tepee. hut or possibly rough lodge of skins.
 The Millers are newcomers Tn the professional amusement field and enrolled more by accident

ness a tournament that departs absolutely from the familiar, tedious routine of the so-called Wild West" exhibitions. Every person and feature is real, vital and characteristic. The per- formers are not professionals, but men, women and children on a lark" from the 101 Ranch. Buffalos, steers, bucking and saddle horses and cowponies belong on the 101 Ranch, and every champion of the lariat, sharpshooter, cowgirl. cowboy, trick rider and other participants permanently on the payroll of the 101 Ranch. A herd of gaunt long horned western steers is a fantastic feature. Renowned Indian chieftains and warriors, squaws,. papooses and Indian belles and beauties are among them.
 Performances will be given here afternoon and evening and the enterprise will introduce itself in the forenoon with a street parade, gorgeous and uni que, that stretches more than a mile in length. The reserved seats will be on sale the day of show at Converse's Drug Store.
