Today is the big day at Mandan, fol
at $3.50 o'clock this morning occurs
the first feature of the sixteenth an
nual Morton County fair.
Fro mits inception until the last
of the gay carnival crowd will have
dispersed Friday night, the Morton
County capital will present a scene OF
octivi+ and merry-making such is sci
dom seen in this part of the country
The principal thing about the Man
dan fair is the VIII west show that is
presented, and in this respect Buffalo
Bills and the 101 Ranch, and other
wild west productions look tame and
theatrical in contrast to the simon
pure article offered the public by the
Mandan Fair association.
All day Tuesday hordes OF Indians
poured into the city across the Mud.
dy from all directions. There are
more Indians in attendance this year
than were ever before assembled at
Mandan for similar purpose. They
make picturesque appearance, and
their big Indian camp is one of the
real and interesting features of the
exhibition.
The cowboys have come from the
Black Hills and the Bad Lands and
each is determined to prove his in
dividual superiority over the others.
There is this much about the In
dams and cowboy contests and races
at the fair. There is nothing about
any of their competitions that are
framed up. Every competition goes
into the contest for blood and is de.
termined to be the winner if it is in
any way possible, and the races and
sports are pulled off therefore with a
vigor and snap that is seldom seen
outside of this class of sport.
There are three Indians entered in
the Indian relay race. They are Ren
Lone Man of Cheyenne River agency,
S. D.; Basil Two Bear, who lives along
the Cannonball, and John Blue Dog,
of the Fort Yates agency. Each In
dian has string of ponies with him
and each was emphatic in his desire
that the purse begiven to the winner
alone. Winner take all-that is the
system the Indians wanted, and there.
fore they are all three going to strive
hard for the coveted prize. 1t is the
same in the cowboys race, and each
is sure that his string of
bronchos is just little I.tter than
the others.
The Marvellous Cowles family Of &C
robats will give free out of door per-
every afternoon during the
fair. They are we'll known in Bis
marck, having appeared in the city at
this place at the Bijou in vaudeville
several times. Miss Cowles is an es-
pecially capable young lady on the
rings and made a big hit with
the little people in the city when they
played here two years ago..
One of the special features of the
fair outside Of the free performances
and the wild west, is the exhibit Of
blooded cattle that will be seen. The
Holstein Breeders Association Of New
Salem, will have q herd q full blood.
ed Holsteins 1t the fan, a1k there will
also he a herd Of thotoua hired Here
lords from the old Malsint4afn ranch.
