horse that unseated Quimby Walker.
the bestlhf Fremont county's riders.
on Thursday was an easy mark for
any of the riders Friday. Although
| Quimby failed to hang to the buck
ing phenom II surely must be a sat
isfaction to him to know that he
broke its spirit. One notable fact as
during the contests is that even the
worst cayuses cannot or will not buck
hard all the time and that even the
best OF riders must at some tims or
another get thrown. The horse that
threw Frank Black and broke his
arm had been ridden by him time af-
ter tims on the r. witcher ranch
near Cotopaxi, without the least in
dication of throwing him although
Frank admits that Tornado did buck
some.
Preston Firth who won first money
| in the bucking contest on Friday
rode Tornado the horse that threw
| Black. The living hurricane sure
went through his aerial gymnastics in
approved style but Firth showed his
superior horsemanshop by clinging to
his mount like a leach.

Their was no balloon ascension on
Friday owing to the fact that the gas
bag went up in smoke on Thursday.
The ascension of Wednesday. while 1t
showed cleverness and daring on the
part of the one legged aeronaut was
not very successful because the ba-
loon did not rise high enough for a
parachute drop and that is really the
best part of an ascension. In some
manner while Initiating the bag on
Thursday it caught fire near the top
destroying the bag and incidentally
spelling the ascent for the day.

A notable addition to the poultry
show at the late fair was made by
Warden lyman from the penitentiary
yard, there being something like forty
fowls in the collection. The display
was in charge of Frank Dunlap. one
of the conyicts of the institution, who
looks after that department of af-
fairs at the prison. Dunlap is a
young man Of unusual intelligence
and was formerly employed as travel
ing freight and passenger agent for
one of the great railroad systems of
thu country with headquarters in one
of the principal cities of the east. Six
months ago he was given charge OF
the poultry yards at the penitentiary
and is now regarded as an excellent
judge in such matters. Dunlap's term
OF Imprisonment will expire In the
course OF the next few months and
he will, probably engage in poultry
raising on his own occount as he has
found the business a very interesting
one.

KIDNAPPED CHILD
REVEALS STORY
Boy Caught in Omaha Compelled to
Walk Across Several States
With Captor.

Dewey Victor Wellman, 11-year-old
son of a widow in Seattle, Wash, who
was kidnapped from his home on July
16 last, was found by the police in
Omaha Saturday. The little boy was
with H. Schuman, Seattle contractor,
who, the boy says, took him from his
home.
According to the boys story, the
pair walked all the way from Nevada
to Omaha. Sometimes they were hun
CRY, but despite the lad s pleadings,
Schuman refused to take him home.
Schuman was caught here when he
applied to the Associated Charities for
work. He confessed stealing the child.
The boy himself told the story of his
capture. He said he had gone for boat
ride with the man, whom he had soon
on the street many times. They got in
the boat and Schuman refused to re-
turn. With tears streaming down his
face, the little fellow told how he had
tramped over miles and miles of dusty
roads. They would stop at farmhouse
and Schuman would work a while and
then move on, he said. Finally they
came to Omaha. The pair will be taken
to Seattle at once and the child re-
stored to his mother.
