night, more enthusiastic than ever
about the wonders OF the west
Colonel Roosevelt began yesterday
0y going to church. With Timothy r

district attorney, he attended tha
First Congregational church. After
the service was over the neonla
crowded around him and he shook
hands with everybody Then he had
lunch, and early in the afternoon nut
on his riding suit and mounted his
horse.
There was wide difference Of opin-
ION around town as to whether the
coionel would be good for the whole
rlde and some bets were made that
ne would not. He had relay of
three horses and he rode them like O.
cayalryman When the ride was over
ne said he had enjoyed every minute
OF 1t and was not bit stiff or sore.
Ills mounts We're spirited ones, which
gave him little trouble, and he kept
tight grip on the reins and never
lost control
Returns BY Auto.
Colonel Roosevelt spent two hours
there. He said he was able to ride
back to Cheyenne on horseback but as
1t was dark, he decided to make the
return trip by automobile.
Il really am very much impressed
by what | have seen here" Colonel
Roosevelt said, "the frontier day cele-
bration was remarkable. T want to
call attention to the fact that the peo-
pie who took part in the events Sat
urday and people from this section are
not cowpunchers who have been
thirty-one years with shows. They are
the real thing.
People sometimes feel regret be-
cause they think that under our civili-
cation we are becoming too soft That
exhibition Saturday was q great OBJ
ject lesson. | like to see such cour-
age and such admirable qualities as
were displayed.
There was little Joella Irwin. Her
face was covered with marks OF the In
juries which she received by her two
falls OF just the day before, and yet
she rode In the race Saturday, and
won it, too. Then there was Buffalo
Vernon. I noticed that when he went
out to bulldog the steer he wore
leather bandage around his wrist.
asked him why he wore 1t and he told
me he had broken his wrist the day
before. Now 1t is pretty hard job
for man with every bone sound to
bulldog a steer. Buffalo Vernon did
1t with a broken wrist"
The colonel also spoke OF Lieutenant
Tyndall of the fourth field artillery
stationed at Fort Russell. The lieu
tenants horse fell during the hurdle
race and rolled over him.
"Tyndall got up in second, jumped
on his horse again and went back in
the race" Colonel Roosevelt said.
THAT takes pluck"
